Fun fact, the teacher who says the band is too loud is actually Huey Lewis. The performer of the song they were playing.
Bastard doesn't want the competition!
You missed the best part. The Pinheads, Marty's backup band, is played by Hurry Lewis' backup band, The News. That's why they looked so much older than high schoolers should, as Biscute said.
It greatly amazes me that Huey and his band were so enthused with this film to the point they participated in it
Nope. Incorrect. @@richwelling3409
@@richwelling3409The News are not Huey Lewis’ “backup band”. They were and are a band. They were formed as a band and the name of “Huey Lewis and The News” is not reflective of that status as a group of people who all made massive contributions to their success.
This is one of those rare trilogy, where all 3 movies are actually Great.
Not just that, but it would be a dis-service to attempt a remake or any sequels/prequels. Just imagine, if a remake were done now, the first movie would be set in the 1990s (pre-cellphones, flat-screen TVs and widespread internet); imagine Marty performing an "oldie" at a 90s school dance that's an at-the-time new/unreleased Nirvana or Green Day cover!
@@ziggythedrummer "pre-cellphones"? 🤨🤦♀
@@flexydex8754 well, pre-cellphones being widely available/affordable to the general public
Great Scott!
Yeah damn right
You should definitely continue with Part 2 and 3.
Right, as far as I'm concerned, it's just one big movie!
She didn't really like this one that much
@@MrKeychange I think she did - she gave it 4 stars (out of 5)
@@oaktree1628 Eh, she didn't hate it, but it's probably the least excited I've ever seen anyone after watching this movie. She's awesome, but it doesn't seem like it hit home based on what she said afterwards.
this is one of those trilogies I could watch over and over again.
Same. My all-time favorite! 😎
It’s impossible to hear the soundtrack and not feel good.
Me2 Which is why I can keep watching my fav reactors watch these movies.
The "oldie" song Marty played at the dance was written and performed by legendary Chuck Berry. The guy on the phone talking to Chuck Berry happens to be Marvin Berry, Chuck's cousin. So this is basically creating another time travel quandry where Marty uses historical events prior to their defined place in time. It gives Marty credit for being responsible for one of the most important events in the history of rock and roll. It is fairly understood that Chuck Berry was one of founders/godfathers, whatever you want to call it, of rock music.
How do you know that wasn't how CB got the idea? 😉😜
Ha! - If he really does have a cousin named Marvin, I'll believe it! @@raybernal6829
The mystery for me is still how Marvin Berry had a 1958 Gibson ES-345 to loan Marty in 1955.
@@0okamino 😜
Fun fact about that: Chuck Berry didn't record "Johnny B. Goode" until 1958, but it's said that he wrote it in 1955 and started performing it then.
When the Doc kept exclaiming ' Great Scot ' Its an expression like ' Holy shit ' when He was stressed ! Older American expression.
" who the hell is this Scott!!!?? " 😭
« "Great Scott!" is an interjection of surprise, amazement, or dismay. It is a distinctive but inoffensive exclamation, popular in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century, and now considered dated.
It originated as a minced oath, historically associated with two specific "Scotts": Scottish author Sir Walter Scott and, later, US general Winfield Scott. The 2010 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English labels the expression as "dated" and simply identifies it as an "arbitrary euphemism for 'Great God!'".
It is a catchphrase of the fictional scientist Emmett "Doc" Brown from the Back to the Future franchise. »
I attended a BTTF discussion panel in 2013, where some of the cast members attended, and Christopher Lloyd was one of them. At a certain point, the moderator looked at Chris and asked him, "Who is Scott, and why is he so great?" Chris paused a few moments, then smiled and said, "My grandfather."
I love when you guys add the little time stamps haha I have been reading your comments for a while and I am having great fun !!! Thank you
"Hope chest" is an old timey tradition, teenage girls used to be given a wooden chest to put things in for their eventual wedding. My mom is a Boomer and still has hers, my sister is Gen-X and never got one
"Make like a tree and get out of here" is showing that Biff is a dummy. The expression is "Make like a tree and leaf" but say it so it sort of sounds like "Make like a tree and leave". Not a great expression
40:35 “Who the hell is this Scott?!” OMG that one got me.. I laughed 😂
Make like a tree and leave (leaf) is the saying. The joke is how bad Biff messed it up.
TBF she's Romanian. They don't have that joke.
That line will be revisited in the second movie
@@russellward4624 Right. That's why Biss asked the question at 28:05
@@DaleKingProfile As well as the submarine joke that is ALSO ruined by Biff XD
"Its 'leave', you idiot; 'make like a tree and leave'. You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!"
When Doc asked who was president, he assumed Marty was joking when he gave an actor's name. So he joked that Jerry Lewis was vice president. Jerry Lewis was the Jim Carey of the 1950s, with wild physical humor and pretended stupidity. Jack Benny as secretary of the Treasury was funny because he was a comedian whose main joke was that he was really cheap.
I never got the joke about Jack Benny until you explained it. Thanks!
Jim Carey? Are you sure that is a useful reference? The '90's were 30 years ago - the same amount of time between 1955 and 1985.
I never caught the Jack Benny joke. Thanks!
For an idea how hard Jack Benny milked the cheap joke, one of his biggest laughs came from a skit where he got mugged: "Your money of your life!" ... "Well?! Your money or your life?!" Jack: "I'm thinking it over!" It got a big enough laugh his show revisited the joke for two or three weeks after that.
@@hanng1242 what would be a better one?
Critiques are fine solutions are better.
And in only 11 years, Ronald Wilson Reagan would be elected Governor of California.
The real saying is "Make like a tree & leave" because trees have leaves... get it? Biff says it wrong.
I never got it, so thanks for putting out the real expression.
@@taoist32there is also "Make like a drum and beat it." And "make like a banana and split."
I prefer "make like a tree and get the fuck out," personally
In the second movie, he comments that something “makes about as much sense as a screen door on a battleship.” A screen door is a door where the main panel is replaced with wire mesh, to let breezes through while keeping insects out. The correct phrase is “that makes as much sense as a screen door on a submarine,” since a screen door forming part of the outside hull of a submarine would make no sense at all (it would leak ocean inward, and the boat would sink).
However, a screen door on a battleship would not be a terrible design choice, but simply eccentric. It is a running gag that Biff is so stupid that he tries to be cool by using punning expressions, but always gets the punchline wrong.
@@EvilBonsai my favorite is "I'm gonna make like a baby and head out."
"Make like a leaf and blow!"
biff got the expression wrong...trees have leaves...so its supposed to go "make like a tree and leave" but instead of telling him to leave he says get outta here
💀💀💀
Actually the phrase we used was 'make like a tree and LEAF' which was humorous word play to mean 'LEAVE'. Leaf was used because it related directly to trees and the word leave does not. In a similar way we also said 'make like a sheep and get the flock out of here'. The word flock let people avoid swearing in public and saying the actual word meant of 'f@ck'.
Lea Thompson played the mom. She's been in Red Dawn, All The Right Moves, Caroline in the City and Howard The Duck.
...and Some Kind of Wonderful.
And The Wizard of Loneliness (1988).
@@ts1ezrdr a highly underated movie by John hughes.
I respectfully submit a theory that recent MCU events have erased the Howard movie from existence...
@@ziggythedrummer Nah. The multiverse makes it possible that it exists in our universe and not the one where Howard was captured by The Collector.
While in high school, if you got a note from a girl that said 'I love you!' and she included her phone number, that was the best feeling in the world.
Doesn't change much out of high school, either, btw.
When you are driving around and see countless bad drivers on the road could you just imagine if those bad drivers were in FLYING CARS! Terrifying.
body parts falling from the sky
I suppose if we have the tech for flying cars they would be driverless. Thought we would have had them by now.😢
The "you have to come back to the future at the end" really wasn't a setup for the next movie (as there were no plans for one) and was thrown in as a joke. After the movie was a hit, they wrote the next two, with both being wildly successful.
If you watch the next one, stop at the end when it says "To Be Continued". There are a lot of spoilers for the 3rd movie in the trailer that follows the second movie ending.
16:07 42:54 Not quite caught in your reaction, but my favorite little detail: Because Marty runs over one of two pine trees when he first arrives in 1955, the Twin Pine Mall sign changes to the Lone Pine Mall when Marty returns to try to stop the Libyans.
37:22 Such a visceral reaction! I love it!
Really?? I've watched this movie like umpteen times and never noticed that. 🙈 I'll need to pay more notice..
the man in the farm the peabody, he was also in the original silent night deadly night billy's grandfather
I never noticed this detail in over 30 years of watching this movie
Really? I’ve seen this a bunch of times and never noticed! Mind blown 🤯
I think a lot of the references in the movie that you don't get are not due to you not being American, but that you are not a Baby Boomer. I grew up in the '50's and so watching this movie in '85 brought back memories of what things used to be like, including some big changes that I (and many others watching this then) had forgotten. Besides the action of the plot here, this movie is an excellent reference to students of history (particularly combined with It's A Wonderful Life which accurately reflects changes from 1918 to 1946).
The movie starts in the current time it was made - of course - but the 30-year difference covers a vast change in American life. Up until after the second world war in the 1940's, most people lived in urban or "downtown" areas. After the war, though, the flight to the suburbs began, robbing the center of towns as backwaters, even the forbidding "inner city" in some cases, as business relocated to suburban malls. Downtown business districts became the hub of secondary retail outlets, with many stores vacant. (In more recent times, there has been a shift back.)
There has been a seismic shift in how man and woman relate to each other. Women up until then were taught to not be forward in terms of dealing with men, particularly as relates to dating. The cultural patterns of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice of the 1810's remained basically the same for the next century. There was a great loosing of morals during the Roaring Twenties, but then a step back during the Depression. At mid-century, there was the publication of the Kinsey reports, which (eventually) made people realize a lot more people were "doing it" and in more ways than ever though possible. The replacement of the incredibly restrictive Hays Code for movies was replaced in 1968 by the current letter code rating system, making XXX movies legal. In the 1970's, women gained access to birth control and the feminist movement greatly changed things to what this movie plays off on as the baseline 1985 era. (Yes, a woman would claim she never asked a guy out, but would think it was okay to ask the guy to ask her.)
Biss let me just say, and I'm sure I'm speaking for all of us here, I really enjoy your reactions especially your movie ones. One of the things I get a real kick out of is the way you put two and two together when you figure out plot changes as they happen, and I think it's crazy cool how you anticipate the actor's next line. You did it like six or seven times with this one and I laugh out loud every time you do it.
Please dont wait to long with nr.2 and nr.3 of this series.
We all love them....and we love you and your reactions to 😊
Agree
6:51 I just love the irony in that the guy telling the band they're too loud is the guy who wrote the music they were playing IRL lol. I highly suggest watching the other two.
The names related to the Reagan scene were the names of other entertainers. The joke being since Reagan was an actor, other actors would be part of his cabinet.
Maybe Bonzo would be White House spokeschimp.

The amplifier incident at the lab is a great way of making us believe that a 23 years old MJF is actually a teenager. Maxing every dial before even trying it. :D
Well, that's how you set a guitar amp.
Thank goodness he didn’t have Spinal Tap’s dials.
Before he was President Ronald Reagan was the Governor of California and before that he was a movie and television actor.
Like Arnie
Diffence is that Arnie can never become president, becourse he wasnt born in US
@@marcusfridh8489 🤦♀
I lived 5 minutes from the "Twin Pines Mall" (Puente Hills Mall) when the movie was being made. I haven't been there since the 90's, but I drive by it all the time. I hear it's deserted. Now I live 5 minutes from the high school (Whittier High School) where they shot the exteriors of Marty's school. That little area of Whittier has had some stuff shot there. Like the last scene from The Wonder Years and some scenes from that Spielberg movie. The Ackermans or The Fablemans or whatever it was called. I can't remember as I didn't watch it.
lol I know no one will care. Just had to blah about it.
OMG I can't believe she hasnt seen BTTF
this will be a treat of a video!
30:35 When I was a kid, there were no designer underwear for guys and moms with multiple kids at home used to stitch the name of the kids in their underwear to avoid confusions, so Loraine's assumption that it was his name is completely understandable.
Fun reaction Biss.... I think you're the only reactor not give this a perfect score. This movie is used in college classes as a tool on how a movie can be done to perfection 😊❤
The actress playing Marty's mom, also starred in the first Marvel movie - Howard the Duck. Howard is even cannon to the MCU with a aperances in all of the Gardians movies, and End Game.
but the movie is clearly aimed at kids...
Is it weird to say, they should've REBOOTED that movie (u know, back when the MCU was still GOOD)? IDK just a thought. 🤷
Lorraine: *takes a drink*
Marty: "What are you doing?"
Biss: "Pregaming for the next 30 years".
Me: 😮😮😮😂😂🤣🤣🤣
27:58 - The expression is, _“Why don't you make like a tree and _*_LEAF_*_ ”_ because it's a play on words with _LEAVE_ but the line gets messed up with him summarizing _“-and get outta here”_ as a way of portraying him as less smart because he can't remember the quote and uses it in a way that doesn't make sense.
(There's another film *_The Boondock Saints_* that uses this same joke but also does a better job of explaining it that might be worth checking out some time). Thanks as always for your reactions, as they're extremely enjoyable to watch and revisit these old movies with!
20:07 Don't know if anyone has said what a "Hope Chest" is but it's an American/English tradition that has fallen out of style now. In America they were called hope chests, England they're called Dowry Chests. They're a chest made of cedar (for anti-moth properties like all furniture designed to store fabrics), flat top generally, with a hinged lid that would open and have a small tray attached to the lid to hold jewelry. They were given to daughters in their mid-teens (like a quinceañera or a sweet-sixteen type of landmark birthday) to collect things to take with them when they moved out to live with their future (as-yet-unmet) husband. Every gift-giving holiday would be an opportunity for people to give the girl gifts to place in the "Hope Chest" like silverware sets, china, towels, bed sheets, things that you need in every house, so that when she "hopefully" marries some day she can provide a nice home for her husband.
Nice tradition. Too bad it fell out of style in the 50's/60's.
The Judge in the Talent contest (Im afraid you're just too loud"_) is Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis and the News. That band was in the top 5 of all bands in the 1980s. Their 3rd album had 6 top ten hits out of 11 songs. Huey and the News also did the soundtrack to these movies. Power of Love, Hip to be Square, Stuck with you, I wanna new drug, Bad is Bad, Do you believe in love, all great songs from them.
One thing, when Doc gets shot in the parking lot,......Einstein disappears from the rest of the whole series.
Hello Miss Biss!😊 Your expression when Biff is knocking on Marty's dad head is hilarious.😆 Lorraine is very aggressive, especially for a 1950s girl. Great reactions to your very first Back to the Future film, Miss Biss!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
"Your thirstiness is immeasurable." 😁
I've watched many reactions to this movie -- you just described young Lorraine in one perfect sentence.
"I am your density." Greatest pickup line ever!
1, 2, and 3 are one long, almost seemless story. You definitely need to see 2 and 3!
Despite playing a very jerk character Biff, Tom Wilson was a very nice guy. In fact, while filming the attempted r@pe scene, in between takes he would check on Lea Thompson to make sure she was ok with the scene.
had you noticed when he came back the mall was called "lone pine pall"
there was 2/twin pines on the property, marty ran over 1 of them in the past
@28:01 the real expression is "make like a tree and leave." Biff saying it wrong is used to show he's not very smart
18:30 So, you see, when Strickland was tearing into Marty, earlier, he knew what a pushover his father was and is and so he was challenging Marty, daring him to prove Strickland wrong, daring him to be the first McFly to ever amount to something by NOT being like his dad.
He's been watching George McFly be a screwup for 30 years and he surely knows that Marty has talent and really just needs to apply himself to succeed.
He was literally pushing Marty to use his teenage angst to rebel against his parents and become something more.
Classic 80's movies, awesome 😎 I grew up on these.
Great Scott is a reference to General Winfield Scott, a nineteenth century American Army General. It is rumored that the men in his command adopted the exclamation “Great Scott!”, as a way of humoring the old man.
My favourite 80s movie since I was a kid! 39 years later I still love this movie and it's sequels. Such a feel good movie , that all generations can enjoy.
Make like a tree and leaf.
Hi Bisscute, it's great you've started this iconic trilogy, I love these movies :) please react to parts 2 & 3 as soon as you can :) I love your reactions and I'm subscribed.
This entire trilogy is excellent.
20:10 Girls used to save up stuff in a Hope Chest (it might be a literal wooden chest like a pirate's treasure chest), stuff they for sure wanted to have when they got married.
21:30 After Kennedy was assassinated, streets all over the U.S. were renamed for him.
28:10 Biff is trying to use the joking expression "Make like a tree and leave," but since he doesn't understand it himself he misquotes it.
Woo-hoo! Always love seeing someone's reaction to this for the first time! As great as this movie works as a standalone film, just wait till you get to the sequels!
Great Reaction! If you ever curious you should see some of the cast interviews Especially with Thomas Wilson (Biff) they are always fun to listen to and enlightening.. He tells alot about the days of Filming these movies.. and hes funny.
What Biff was trying to say was make like a tree and leave

I haven't watched yet but I am SO EXCITED! Back to the Future is my favorite movie, hands-down. I can't wait to see you react to the other two!!!
So happy, the movie is a classic and I loved your reaction Miss Bisscute💓💓💓, for future reactions you must complete the back to the future trilogy, you should also react to other films starring by Michael J. Fox. such as: The Frighteners (1996), Doc Hollywood (1991) and Casualties of war (1989). and for your other music channel please react to Huey Lewis and The News the band that made the songs for the soundtrack of this movie, songs: The power of love, Back in time, i want a new drug and Heart and Soul, great music you will like it Biss.
The talent judge that tell Marty that his music is just "Too Darn Loud" is none other than Huey Lewis... the musician and vocalist of the title track to this movie, "The Power of Love" which is also the song that Marty is actually playing during the audition.
thank Lea Thompson played Lorraine. She was also in “Red Dawn” in 1984 and “Howard the Duck” some years later. Then later, she did a TV series called, “Caroline in the City.”
Howatd the Duck is from 1986, so just ONE year after Back to the Future.
Poor Leah, first have to make out with her "son" and next year with an antropomorphic duck
Back to the Future is a trilogy totally worth to watch.
Also Kung Fu Panda trilogy (a 4th movie in progress) is very good.
Great reaction Biss, you picked a classic trilogy to react too 👍👍
2:56 The Scientists in the black & white "photos" are Thomas A. Edison and Benjamin Franklin, who both liked to play around with electricity.... 😉😉
36:49 "George, _help_ me! _Please!"_
And _this_ was the big moment. Up 'til now, Biff was just a _bully_ who got his rocks off by knocking people _around._ But here, George has caught him in the middle of a _predatory_ act. These are people he's going to see at _school,_ after this. If he backs down, Lorraine is gonna know that he coulda been _there_ for her and he _wasn't._ And _Biff_ is going to persist in this impression of himself that he's _such_ hot shit that no one _stopped_ him.
But you've _got_ to admire the brilliance in the way the dynamic _changed_ between the three of them. The first time through, Lorraine went with George to the _Enchantment Under the Sea_ dance because her _heart_ went out to him after her father hit him with his _car._ They kissed for the first time on the dance floor and that was what conveyed to Lorraine that she was going to spend the rest of her _life_ with him.
But the _second_ time through, George appeared as the proverbial knight in shining _armor_ who rescued Lorraine from an obscene _violation._ In so doing, though, he discovered that he had it in him to stand up to _bullies._ That changed the _whole trajectory_ of their lives.
The way she delivers that line hits me like a ton of bricks every time I see that scene. It's heartbreaking.
Act like a tree and "Leaf" ( leave ). Biff screwed it up.
Sleeping in jeans is uncomfortable. Lorraine wanted Marty to be comfortable ;)
Yeessss I can see that now , my bad
She wanted him to be _very_ comfortable
The 3rd episode of this trilogy you will love so much. Back to the future is a lovely film concept and the actors are awesome. M J Fox you also need to see him in the film Casualties of War.
Fun movie fact. The Mall at the start was Twin Pines Mall. But when Marty went back in time he ran over one of the trees. When he gets back to the future it then reads Lone Pine Mall.
My favourite movie
hi bisscute
Notes: Huey Lewis tells him his own song is "too darn loud." If you are in Detroit, Michigan, USA, you may see a DeLorean still. Back to the Future is the basis for Rick & Morty. The guitarist's cousin was Chuck Berry, the Godfather of Rock and/or Roll. The first use of "Great Scott!!!" was in 1852, and references Sir Walter Scott. Also, the future they go to is 2015. Can't wait for you to see that!!!
The judge who told Marty that the band was "just too darn loud" was Huey Lewis, the guy who actually sings the song that he was playing. There's a saying that goes, "make like a tree and leave".
Great react! I hope U'll see whole trilogy.....
"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads..."
Her annoyed confusion over “Make like a tree…”. Chef’s kiss. ❤
29:43 - The bloopers from this scene are hilarious! 😂 Crispin Glover kept missing the glass! 😂
I have no idea if anyone else mentioned this one... But toward the beginning when Marty was doing the music try-out and got rejected, the person behind the megaphone was Huey Lewis. It was a cameo role done as subtle joke since Lewis is a rock musician in real life.
28:16 - A tree has leaves, Biss... Make like a tree and leave
"1.21 gigawatts!" Is my favorite line from this movie, unfortunately I never have the opportunity to use it in real lfe
Small thing most people don’t notice: twin pine mall from the beginning becomes one pine mall at the end, after the one tree gets destroyed.
One of my favourite movies. I remember watching it decades ago, fascinated by the idea of time travel. Your reaction was fantastic. It made me smile the whole time. Thanks 🙂
The actual expression should be: Why don't you make like a tree and "leaf"? But that goes over Biff's head.
leave - not leaf
A couple of minor things:
The mall is originally named "Twin Pines Mall." If you look closely, you'll see that Old Man Peabody had a pair of pine trees at the end of his driveway -- but Marty runs over one of them. When Marty goes back to 1985, the mall is named "Lone Pine Mall."
There are a lot of small details like that.
The joke about Biff saying, "Make like a tree and get out of here," is that it was an incorrect use of slang that's now fallen out of use. The correct slang is, "Make like a tree and leave." The fact that Biff gets it wrong was a statement of Biff's intelligence (or lack thereof).
"Great Scott" is another slang term that's fallen out of use. It was an interjection of surprise, amazement, or dismay. It is a distinctive but inoffensive exclamation, popular in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century, and now considered dated.
It originated as a minced oath, historically associated with two specific "Scotts": Scottish author Sir walter Scott and, later, US general Winfield Scott.
This film creates a weird paradox that's neither broached nor resolved:
When Marty returns to 1985, he sees a version of himself go back in time. However, _it's not the same Marty_ . It's an Alternate Marty who grew up in the future that Original Marty created where his father is a successful, self-confident scifi novelist; his family is completely different; and Doc isn't killed by the Libyans.
The question becomes: what did Alternate Marty do when he went back to 1955? He might interfere with his parents' meeting, but to him it would be the way he'd always heard his parents recount the story: that a teenager was hit by Lorraine's father; that Lorraine was infatuated with him for a few days; and that this ultimately led to Biff's attempted SA of her and George clocking Biff.
This whole thing is entirely glossed-over and never mentioned. Over the years, fans have speculated that the easiest answer is that Alternate Doc, now aware of everything Original Marty did, simply made certain that the plutonium was packed so that Alternate Marty could immediately return to 1985.
However, that still creates a paradox, since there would then be _two different Martys_ who'd arrive back in Alternate 1985.
Don't think too much about it, because the logical implications get very, very twisted. It ultimately results in what scifi fans call an "Infinite Loop Paradox," where multiple different Martys start showing up in 1955.
Eventually, Doc's only reasonable response would be to never follow through with the time machine at all.
In any case, the entire matter is totally glosssed-over. It's best to forget about it and enjoy the films, because dramatically they're very good.
Indeed, the script for this film is taught in film schools as the "perfect script" because of the way it's structured. There are entire textbooks written about it.
There's an ongoing question of how Original Marty got together with Doc.
According to the director and writer, Original Marty had been told by Principal Stickland that Doc was a dangerous nutcase. Being the average teenager, Original Marty pushed-back by going to Doc's lab to see for himself. He found himself impressed by all the weird gadgets Doc had lying around. Doc then hired Marty to work part-time at the lab doing odd jobs for him. Along the way, Marty convinced Doc to build the gigantic amplifier for his electric guitar that we see in the opening of the film.
Another point: in the early hours of October 15, 2015, fans gathered at the Puente Hills Mall, the shooting location of the Lone/Twin Pines Mall, to celebrate the impending arrival of the DeLorean. Sadly, no flying DeLorean ever appeared above or near it, but the fan celebration was well-covered in the press.
On a personal note: as an early Gen-Xer, I was the same age as the "teenaged" actors. I instantly fell in love with Lea Thompson and continue to be infatuated with her today.
Female reactors like to say, "Eyes up here," when Lorraine removes her sweater in the car. Guys my age have never been able to keep their eyes "up here."
It's impressive that Lea was able to transition out of ingenue roles, which is rare in Hollywood. Typically, actresses simply "age out" and are discarded, but Lea continued to act for some time. She's also a successful Broadway actress and has now transitioned into directing.
Lea remains beautiful, and is one of the few actress/directors her age who hasn't resorted to surgery nor botox nor enhancements. She's aged far better than me, and I really respect her not having chosen the enhancement route.
No doubt if I were to ever meet her, I'd become a drooling fanboy and embarrass myself. 💗
Always find it funny how people think Martys mum is wrong to fancy him when as far as shes concerned hes just another kid her own age. Why shouldnt she fancy him
Hello Bisscute, this is a happy movie. A good selection. Remember" One can never eat too many Drop Biscuits. They are homemade. Make some today.
we are back in our time there is rubbish everywhere LOL!
I saw this film for the first time when I was 11 years old... and it was absolutely amazing for me!!! One of my favorites ever.
Please reac to the parts 2 and 3.
Hugs from Brazil!!!
21:16 Notice that Lorraine's mother called Marty "Timmy" 😂
Not "Timmy"...she said "to me".
19:10, Biff said "make like a tree and get out of here", the expression is "make like a tree and Leave".
‘Look at the Stars" sounds like you heard that line before . 😉
I was a kid in the 60's in California and the attendants for the gas station always gave you full service like that. It's amazing how times have changed.
The phrase Biff is messing up (28:05) is correctly stated "make like a tree and leave." In this case leave is a play on the word leaf. It is a running gag through all three movies that he never gets it right.
References: To be fair, i saw this movie in the theater when i was 10 yo, & i didnt know many of the 1950's name dropped references either, so, you know: jack benny, i had no clue...chuck berry i learned shortly after cuz that was rock n roll, but, its not critical info, so, dont feel left out, the cultural name references arent critical info...same goes for the other two films:) ...ur doing great:)
15:08 "You only need 88. You don't need 90; 88 you need." What many 1st-time viewers don't realize is that Marty doesn't travel in time intentionally. He _accidentally_ activates the time circuits when he thinks he's shifting gears. After that, he's just trying to speed away from the Libyans, so he doesn't realize something big is going to happen to prevent him from reaching 90 mph.
Bliss, thanks for watching this one. Been watching long enough to understand, keep doing what you do. I had the chance to meet some of the cast, especially Christopher Lloyd. They all where fun to talk to. Well to the next one.
Best movie trilogy ever. You had me laughing pretty hard several times. “Who is this Scott? Why is he great?” 😂😂
“For you non-English speakers, manure is a fancy word for sh$t!”
And if “someone comes to me and said destiny brought you into my arms I would be like destiny is getting me out!” 😂😂😂
Hahaha, happy you enjoyed that, thanks for watching ❤️
She's Beautiful & hilarious❤😂❤😂
28:10 The expression goes "Why don't you make like a tree, and leave". it's a play on words. 'leave' being akin to 'leaf.' It's supposed to sound witty, but in the script Biff messes up the expression to emphasize his being under educated.
Edit: I told you that's you'd love it, just wait for the next two movies. Enjoy the ride Biss!
The "make like a tree and get out of here" was a joke showing Biff is not the sharpest tool in the shed. The saying goes "make like a tree and leave". You know, trees, leaf, leaves.
Unless you're over 50 you're not likely going to get the "Pepsi Free" joke. Pepsi came out with "Pepsi Free" in the 80's which was basically caffeine-free Pepsi. They later changed the name in 1987 to just ""Caffeine-Free Pepsi". So when Marty asks for a "Pepsi Free" he is asking for this product which the manager interprets as him asking for a Pepsi FOR free.
Pepsi -Free was Sugar Free like Diet-Pepsi, but Caffeine and Sugar Free Pepsi -Free was also available .
By the way, that guy who told him “ it’s too loud” at the beginning of the movie was the guy who wrote and sang that song originally Huey Lewis
