- Hey movie lovers! 🚗⚡
Time to hop into the DeLorean and travel back to 1985! I've just watched Back to the Future for the very first time, and boy do I have some thoughts. Is it genuinely as groundbreaking as everyone says? Or is its charm purely a product of nostalgia?
All I can say is... my first time watching Back to the Future was memorable. Join me as I delve into the world of Marty McFly, exploring iconic moments, memorable lines, and that classic soundtrack.

The guy that tells him his song is too loud is Huey Lewis…the guy that actually performs that song
It’s amazing that reactors NEVER know him. You are officially old. I’ve been old a long time.😂😂😂😂😂😂
The "young" judge sitting on the left behind him was Eric Stoltz -- the actor originally cast as Marty McFly. No one ever picks up on that either. I never did until it was pointed out to me as well
@darktitan6308 Good to know. Thanks!
To be fair, Huey Lewis & The News last big hit album was 1986, and their succeeding albums were all 'steps down'. But their videos still are hilarious, and his 2000 DUETS was an interesting film about rekindled dreams.
I feel like it's a race to say this first every time someone reacts to BTTF now 😆
23:57 "Would I be my parent's friend?" That's exactly the question that inspired this whole franchise. One of the writers and producer came up with this concept after looking at his dad's picture as a senior in High School, and asked himself the same exact question.
Oh so interesting! I think I probably be friends with my mom, but my dad was a bit... square... growing up. He wanted to be a priest. No joke.
@@CristyReacts haha Yeah, I think I'd be friends with my dad, I think he used to give some George Mcfly vibes. My mom looked like kind of a mean girl LOL

Fun video. I was going to make this comment as well. Bob Gale was wondering if he would have been friends with his parents and that’s where the idea came from. There’s a lot of cool behind the scenes trivia about this movie out there. I remember seeing it at the drive in with my family in 1985 and loving it. I was 7 at the time.
@@CristyReacts My dad WAS a priest. My mom was nun. No joke.
It shows how great an actor Thomas Wilson - who plays the bully Biff - is when he felt really, really uncomfortable playing a bully, since he himself was badly bullied at school.
I've read that he's really a nice guy in real life. It's ironic he's become famous for his role as a bully.
@@Caseytify Most actors who play "bad people" in movies are really nice in real life.
@@SuddenReal Exactly. Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund? Super-sweet guy.
In reality he is a very kind person which is amazing
@@SuddenReal Except James Earl Jones. He chokes people with the Force all the time!
You're the first reactor I've watched to note how Marty picked up the 'fear of rejection' from his dad. I get so frustrated when reactors don't pick that up, but you DID!!! :)
Come on that's so obvious. Maybe they just didn't mention it aloud.
One other thing I've never seen anyone pick up is multiple guys having fallen out of that tree. Lorraine had been putting on a show and her dad had hit "another one of these damn kids". 😂
@@MrKeychange yes, I guess they were peeping toms, but Lorraine was an exhibitionist.
Most reactors also never say anything about Lorraine doing EVERYTHING contrary to what she said in an older age to her kids.
"a girl should never chase a boy" was the main point she made...
That line was so funny!..."Another...?" Ha!!! :)@@MrKeychange
@@rogeriopenna9014 That was exactly my point! Lorraine was just as big a perv as George! lol
The joke from Biff that you couldn’t understand was supposed to be “Make Like A Tree & Leave”. The “joke” layer in the fact that he was so dim witted that he missed the intended point 😄
She’s a modern female under 30 years old.. that’s all that needs to be said. Probably can’t even name three countries or tell the time on an analog clock. Obviously can’t change a flat.
trees have leaves so be like a tree and leave...but i guess leaving means get the hell out of here too so he kinda said it right
@@BriBryBriBrylmao misogyny is pathetic and hilarious. She's Columbian. Not all countries use American expressions. Maybe if you spent time doing something other than reading incel forums you'd know that. She also speaks at least two languages, how many do you speak?
I thought he was just intentionally putting a more aggressive spin on the saying in order to show that he could get away with it in front of staff
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbersNo Biff was just too dumb to say it properly. Now I'm gonna make like a baby and head out.
“When this baby hits 88 mph…you’re gonna see some serious shit.”
Never gets old.
Many film schools hold this up as one of the 'perfect' movies, as its writing, acting, and cinematography are all excellent, well balanced, and it never loses a step. Even the slow parts are directly relating to the entirety of the film and there is virtually no filler anywhere. All the little details of the changes from Marty's incursion into the past are shown. It really was a masterpiece of a film, and although I have vague memories of watching it in the West Theater in Norton, Ohio as a kid, I definitely remembered seeing it in theater.
In the original script, at the the end, Marty's dad sees an old news paper article with Marty's Picture with the caption that says, Highschool Teen causes riot with Rock and Roll Music. When Marty's dad sees the picture, he tells himself, "Of Course!". So now you realize how Marty actually got the black 4x4 Jeep he wanted and how Marty's dad looks at him at the end. He knew he son went back in time and gave him the confidence. How nobody knows about this that comments on these first viewings is beyond me.
Surprisingly enough, they had no plans to make a sequel. The ending was just like "the adventure continues," but hey it worked out and made an easy place to pick up next one. All 3 are worth a watch
But it's great that they were able to make it a coherent trilogy that has a beginning and an end. All loose ends that matter for the story to work are resolved in the end. Story threads get callbacks and in the end, main character has learned from his experiences.
@@rikuruohomaki3230 2 and 3 were shot back to back and were release a few months apart. 2 got flacks for being a bit confusing but 3 made up for it.
I'm really surprised looking back that they were able to make the next two movies feel so seamlessly connected to the first one. Unless you lived through it, you'd never know a half decade passed.
I saw BTTF on my 13th birthday and I was almost 18 when I saw the sequel. People wanted that second movie SO bad. It was like clapping for an encore and refusing to stop until the band came back out.
@@chrisstory563 part 2 was actually the first one that I watched and I definitely was confused lol
As a guitar player, I love this little time period bit they did. They guitar player that get's hurt is Marvin. Marty takes his place by playing the song "Johnny B. Goode". While he's playing, Marvin makes a call to his cousin Chuck. Marvin gives his full name as Marvin Berry and says this is the sound Chuck is looking for, while holding the phone out to hear Marty playing. That means Chuck Berry is listening to the song "Johnny B. Goode" that is his biggest hit which he hasn't written yet. Bootstrap paradox!
The writing of this movie series is just detailed like no others.
There’s a funny bit of anachronism in that scene (though only by about 3 years). Marvin’s guitar (which Marty is playing) is a Gibson ES-345. How did he get one of those in 1955?
@@0okamino Artist prototyping by Gibson. LOL
I imagine they just let it slide. Maybe having Marvin play a Gibson ES-350T like Chuck would be too expensive? Or too telling for the joke?
Plutonium is metalic, but it does come in various oxidation states, and of those oxidation states, Plutonium IV in suspension looks very nearly identical to the fuel used in the time machine! fun fact.
The parents didn't see any comparison between the Marty's instantly like WE did. As a newborn grows, to an infant, to a toddler, to a child, to a teen, it is NOT likely a parent would say "our kid is looking more and more like that guy we met.....". Over the span of the years, parents would be saying, "our kid is looking more and more like (Mom or Dad)!". Marty is also the youngest of the three siblings, so there's even more distancing.😊
Also we're talking about 30 years later and a guy that (even though he had a big impact) they only knew him for a week
Also when you get older, your memory of high school gets hazy.

@@Silenced23I actually kinda like that, too bad it was not added to the film at the end.
I laugh when in the middle of Marty playing "Johnny B. Goode", "Marvin" Berry calls his cousin to let him hear it. For those who don't know, Johnny B. Goode is a song by Chuck Berry that came out in 1958.
There are so many little details you missed. Don't worry, we all did on the first watch. Example the mall is first named "Twin Pines". When Marty went back in time, he ran over one of Old Man Peabody's trees. Later in the film after Marty comes back to 1985, the mall is shown to be renamed "Lone Pine". Just a heads up going forward that there are a lot of small details on how Marty's actions affect the future.
I noticed the name of the mall changing but didn’t realize why, until someone pointed it out!
Another neat little detail of many that most people don't seem to notice is that at the start of the movie, the ledge for the clocktower is undamaged. At the end of the movie however, it's damaged because Doc broke it while he was up there. Amazing attention to detail by the film makers.
The movie theater is showing XXX movies at the start, but when Marty returns to 1985 it's a church. Doc's gun... well, remember it as you watch the rest 😅
Some people make connections of the Twin Pine Mall turning into Lone Pine Mall like a prediction of 9/11, also when Marty goes back to 1985, 2 lines of fire are formed, left side there is a store with number 9, the time at which Einstein travels is 1:19 AM, which reversed is 91:1, even in Part 2, when we se the McFly House in 2015, there is a modern tv showing World Trade Center, curious how later Robert Zemeckis went to make a movie about the Twin Towers called "The Walk" starring Joseph Gordon Levitt (a very good movie to check out), it was about the French tightrope walker Phillippe Petit who crossed the Twin Towers on a cable that connected the towers, the movie was released in 2015, same date in which Marty and Doc go to the future in Part 2.
The Delorean was a real car brand made by a very successful car executive that started his own company, his last name was Delorean and he only made one car before the company failed to succeed but this movie made it iconic.
One model of car, not just one car!😁
It's been called a perfect trilogy. Definitely worth watching all three.
It is certainly one of my favorite trilogies! Perfect is such a strong word though for anything.
LOL it is FAR from a "perfect trilogy." I've never heard anyone with any merit even say that. THIS movie has been referred to as perfect before; or having a perfect script. Quentin Tarantino, for instance, has stated that he thought this movie in particular was an example of a perfect movie. And I could mostly get on board with that. But the scriptwriting definitely breaks down a bit in the sequels. They're all very entertaining, don't get me wrong. I have loved these movies since I was a kid. But parts 2 and 3 definitely feature more head scratching moments than part 1 that seem to be there purely as contrivance
@@stephenpatterson8056Exactly. First time I heard this trilogy being stated as being perfect. If any trilogy could be called perfect it would either be Lord of the Rings or Three Flavours Cornetto trilogies.
@@godfatherezioI can't think of any trilogy that's perfect. I'm not sure anyone has ever made three perfect movies in a row.
Back to the Future (1) was easily the best & it went downhill from there.
This movie is frequently cited in many university screenwriting programs as having as close to a perfect script as you can get in terms of the fundamental elements of storytelling. Often used as a case study for "how to write the perfect screenplay".
Yep this movie is the best lesson in "Setup and Payoff" that I've ever seen. So many movies / shows today seem to have forgotten that lesson like Rise of Skywalker and Game of Thrones:
1. Plutonium news report
2. The broken clocktower
3. Marty's band getting rejected
4. Mayor Goldie Wilson
5. Marty's dream truck
6. Jailbird Uncle Joey
7. Lorraine being a "nun"
8. George hit with a car while "bird watching"
9. Enchantment Under The Sea Dance
If this movie was written today it would have setups with no payoffs or payoffs with no setups. An example of setup with no payoff is Finn saying "Reeeeeyyy I need to tell you something". We all know that went nowhere. An example of payoff with no setup is the Force Dyad. Palpatine conveniently discovers this in the climax of the movie.
@@One.Zero.One101Exactly.

@@Silenced23 I find the deleted scenes have aged well (for not including them). In one, Marty asks Doc if kissing his mom will make him gay - which may have been funny in 1985, but is very homophobic now. The other scenes make Doc look like a sex predator: he takes a Playboy out of the briefcase and stares at it in front of Marty, Marty is able to sneak into George's house by drugging him with chloroform that Doc casually carries in his car, and he bribes the police officer who questions him about his "weather experiment", meaning he's used to greasing the wheels to make the cops look the other way.
This movie is great if you just watch it for fun and turn your brain off. But once you watch it several times every piece of dialog is important and part of the story and nothing is just a throw away line.
Sleep in jeans? No. A short nap in jeans? If I am completely exhausted. Pass out in jeans? Completely different category.
😂😂 agreed
Lol
he was waiting to go out at 115am to meet doc so he was still dressed...
this movie series is both great for first time viewers and nostalgic for those who seen it in the 80's. it's a classic
My dad is Colombian, grew up in Barranquilla. Anyway just found your channel and must subscribe! Back to the Future is considered a "perfect" script, and is taught at the USC film school in screenwriting class. You must watch the entire trilogy, as it tells one giant, continuous story. It is one of the best franchises in terms of story, writing, acting, consistency, and heart. WARNING: as part 2 finishes there is a giant spoiler for part 3 (if you care). If you don't wanna see any part of it, just stop watch as the words "To Be Concluded" appear on the screen. Lastly, you have a wonderful smile and laughter. If you're comfortable, please leave more of that in your reactions, it helps your viewers connect to you more. See you in the next one! 😊
A reactor who edits their reactions out of their reaction video?
I love it when the TH-cam algorithm recommends a video of someone seeing a classic movie for the first time... and then they INSTANTLY agree that it's a classic. Instantly. Some movies are just magic, no matter the era!!!
Yes, Regan was an actor. He did westerns. He was even president of the Screen Actors Guild.
The irony of Reagan being president of a union and then firing the striking air traffic controllers as President of the US.
@@justmeeagainnnot really ironic. Regan was a Democrat when he was SAG president. He flipped most of his political positions. Plus when actors go on strike, we don't get movies. When air traffic controllers strike, lives are at risk.
@@justmeeagainn actors are allowed to go on strike, Air Traffic Controllers, cops and fireman are not.
Yes. Sadly, his leading the Screen Actors Guild was what led him to run for the governor of California and that position is what led him to run for president.
@@jrasicmark1 that isn't sad.
There is a theory that Lorraine and George knew exactly what was going on in the future. Seriously, George was a huge Sci-Fi fan. He'd remember Darth Vader and planet Vulcan. The whole burning the rug? They'd remember that Calvin said that. Lorraine already remember (probably) every detail about the dance. She still did. She remembers Calvin.
I like the theory. It adds another level to the movie.
Also, I met the actor that plays Biff. He told me that people always want to either punch him, or have him punch them. I, obviously, asked him to punch me. He didn't.
In the original script, at the the end, Marty's dad sees an old news paper article with Marty's Picture with the caption that says, Highschool Teen causes riot with Rock and Roll Music.

Another wonderful reaction Cristy (spelled correctly this time). First, Young Biff was so stupid that he messed up the saying “make like a tree and leave.” This was a sweet comedy that makes me tear up sometimes when I see Michael J Fox here and then think of him now with Parkinson’s disease 😔
All of us who knew him as a young man feel the same sadness. I remember admiring him because he was on a hit TV sitcom plus he made these three movies. He was so hardworking and fame didn’t go to his head. He was humble. Most actors would have left a TV sitcom once they broke into movies, but he didn’t. It was unusual. Maybe he wanted to keep everyone employed or maybe deep down he knew he had to grab every moment of life while he was young and healthy.
I’m convinced now that I gave him a ride from Venice to Santa Monica in 1977(?). A few months ago I researched the year he first came to LA and I was in town also. An acquaintance asked me to give his friend a ride and said he had been on a tv show in Canada and was going to be an actor in LA. I wanted to talk to him about acting but there were other people in the car and he was very shy and quiet and the ride was short and he got out. Over the decades I always wondered if it was Michael J Fox and I finally googled it! It’s highly likely that it was him!😂
@@im-gi2pgIt may sound like BS to other people but these are the kind of things that do happen in L.A. I lived there for 13 years, working in showbiz, and knew so many people that were famous when I was a kid growing up in the Midwest, and people who were very famous at the time I knew them, and people who weren't famous yet but became famous years later, like the recently deceased Matthew Perry for one example. You see famous people everywhere, all the time. I even had a car accident with a guy who was a rock star when I was a kid. This kind of thing just happens there.
@@dggydddy59 true. I stood next to Batman in the Santa Monica post office in 1974 aprox. I was focused on my issue but noticed a guy looking around nervously. I had to go up to the counter when he was standing there while the clerk fixed something. I just glanced at his Christmas cards, one was going to Australia. My mom’s an Aussie. I didn’t talk to him or recognize him until later. Then I realized his fame was why he looked nervous.
I’ve stood in lines at the grocery store with Gladys knight, Keifer Sutherland, served his dad in 1980 in Miami (a mean drunk), and see a couple famous actors attending events I go to. The first day on a new job last week, Neil young came to browse. He was with a famous lady friend I won’t mention. I’m sure there’s lots more…oh! Blondie was driving a posh convertible in front of me in Burbank in the 90s. She had glitter on her arm.🤣
And of course Danny Davito! Very kind and caring! The best!
The DeLorean was named after founder, John DeLorean, who was the youngest division chief in General Motors' history. He'd previously managed the development of, among others, the Pontiac GTO muscle car and Pontiac Firebird. He left to start his own company, DMC, which produced the stainless-steel-clad car you saw, with the gull-wing doors.
Yea, and the car was commercially a complete failure, his company was 17 million dollars in debt and then in trying to get out of debt, he agreed to be a financier for cocaine trafficking... but was caught and convicted.
Not only that but the Irish government, where the company was headquartered and plant was, took the molds of the car panels out to sea and dumped them overboard.
All replacements parts for the car today is a replica of the original, where they took a car apart and reverse engineered the parts.
Yep, the Back---->To The Future Trilogy 🙏🏾 Hands down the "single" Greatest Movie trilogy ever made.
Star Wars, Empire strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Kinda good
To sleep in jeans usually isn't planned. You don't plan on falling asleep, but sometimes you just clunk out
Interesting fact - The person who tells Marty during his audition that "You are just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis who wrote and performed "The Power of Love" which is the song that Marty plays during his audition.
This was an excellent time to watch this movie. On October 21st and 25th movie theaters across the us are playing it on the big screen for Back To The Future day. You can experience it the same way lot of us did for the first time.
This is one of a handful of movies that is considered near perfection. The plot, dialogue, acting, casting, pacing, editing, music…. everything. It’s family friendly. It’s a nice mix of comedy, suspense, drama and does not overuse special effects. Something you just rarely ever see. The sequels do not disappoint although they do get some criticism for getting a bit complicated and hard to follow at times. Although now that 2015 has come and gone, I’m still waiting for my hoverboard and flying car.
that double gasp on "a bolt of lightning" was f'in awesome. had me laughing
Back To The Future is a wonderful, incredible movie, and I personally consider it one of the best movies ever made. It blends comedy, science fiction, and adventure to create something so unique and fun that it still endures today and is widely beloved. Whenever some thinks of the concept of time travel, Back To The Future instantly comes to mind. To this day, film study classes use Back To The Future as an example of great scriptwriting for its use of foreshadowing, creating narrative set-ups and providing satisfying payoffs. The crazy thing is that nearly no Hollywood studios wanted to produce it. They all rejected it except Steven Spielberg, and it ended up becoming the biggest movie of 1985.
24:19 You got a permit for that?
Yes officer, here's some signatures - a couple of Jacksons and a Lincoln.
Here is my hypothesis. Marty’s parents in the revised (end of movie) timeline know exactly who he is and what happened. Furthermore, George’s book entitled “A Match Made in Space” is the story we just watched. How does this work? Here is what I think. George was a science fiction reader and author. He would have had occasion to consider the concept of time travel. He would remember Marty from 1955. He would recall that Marty appeared from nowhere, spent a week helping him grow and leading him toward Lorraine. He would remember that odd request Marry made about the future rug fire, and how Marty vanished without a trace thereafter. He remembered the references to Darth Vader. the planet Vulcan, even using that for the cover art on his book. He remembered the early metal style performance Marty gave - music style not seen until the 80s. He would have known about Doc Brown, and eccentric scientist who shared some sort of mentor / friend relationship with his son. The information George needed was all there. At the end of the film, George says to Marty “if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything” accompanied by a knowing little smile. That was what Marty said to him in 1955, and it was his way of telling Marty that he knew what Marty did for him. He may even have had the timing worked out and coordinated his book release to coincide with Marty’s time traveling adventure.
No matter how many times I watch this, I still get goosebumps when Marty first sees his neighborhood before it was built. Its like seeing old pictures of your grandparents house in B&W and your parents are young kids.
"Make like a tree and get outta here."
Of all things in this movie, the phrase that nearly broke Cristy’s brain.
hahahahahah seriously did!
The usual saying is “Make like a tree… and leave.”
@@CristyReacts I grew up in that era and the phrase is "Make like a tree .... and leaf."
Say you marry and have a child.
You nurse him as a baby, watch him take his first steps, start school, turn into an adolescent, go to high school, start playing the guitar, dating girls... and now he's 17.
As a mother, youve been with this boy throughout his whole life, and you have every detail of his face printed in your mind.
Would you really notice that, now that he's 17, he kinda looks like a guy you met for roughly a week back in high school?
And if you did, would you care?
I don't think either of them would notice the resemblance, or even remember what their friend Marty looked like.
Because by that time... that guy is long gone, and this face is their son's face.
That being said, if George remembered... well, he might have a few questions for Lorraine.
Bob and Bob pretty much confirmed that George and Lorraine forgot what Calvin Klein looked like.
When filming began for this, they had Eric Stoltz in the role of Marty McFly. After a few weeks, the filmmakers determined they weren't getting what they thought they would out of him, so they decided to fire him and hire Michael J. Fox instead. As a result, it was a busy few months for Fox, as while he was doing this at night, during the day, he was taping episodes of "Family Ties", a popular sitcom he was starring in at the time.
I like how they said that Eric was Marty McFly in the 2023 movie called, The Flash. So funny.😂
@@Groovy-z3x I almost forgot about that. The thing I remember about it is who turned out to be Bruce Wayne at the end.
@@bluebear1985 I was disappointed at the Bruce Wayne that showed up at the end of the movie. I was hoping it'd be the 1989 batman.
Fox was their first casting choice, but he felt he couldn't do the movie and fulfill his tv contract at the same time. As bluebear points out, they finally managed it.
Imagine seeing this in a theatre of 1000 people on opening weekend and and 1000 people stood up and cheered at the end. It was a great time.
Sounds so awesome!
1000 is far fetched lol
@@hiramrosajr8231
The Winter Garden Theatre has a seating capacity of 1,526.
I saw the movie on opening night with a date. She picked it because she liked Michael J. Fox. The audience reaction was amazing (me included). The entire audience DID stand up and cheer. I enjoyed the movie so much that I went back and saw it 5 more times (3 with other dates).
This script constantly gets used in screenwriting courses as a model of how to write a script. Really tight, fun and entertaining film. Great reaction and glad you enjoyed the film. Nice job with the editing for the reaction, btw.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The guy that said he was too loud was Huey Lewis the lead singer of the band that plays that song. No one who sees this movie now ever realizes that... lol
The little details in these movies are such a big part of why it feels so fun. So many thoughtful shots and Easter eggs.
Great reaction! Feels like we're totally watching along with you. Great editing too! :)
1. Cranky principal Strickland/James Tolkan also played the ship's squadron leader in "Top Gun".
2. The teacher that tells Marty, "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis himself. (Heart of rock and roll)
3. Eric Stoltz was first cast as Marty, but he didn't play well with others and was fired. Some of his long shots are still in the movie.
4. The flammable material set on fire with the model exercise had to have been put there on purpose.
5. It's always fun to see how people react to the Marty and his mom car scene. 🤣
6. George McFly/Crispin Glover didn't like that the story ended with the family being prosperous.
7. IMVHO part II is the best of the trifecta.
8. If you want a first time/share of an OUTSTANDING movie where Christopher Lloyd plays the heavy you must do "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
Love these fun facts. I'm learning so much
@@CristyReacts They wanted Michael J. Fox from the begining but couldn't get him due to him commitment to Family Ties. They in fact almost completely shot the entire movie using Eric Stoltz before they fired him. Stoltz was playing the character in a much heavier, more serious way rather than comically. He saw Fox coming back to a whole new life that he didn't remember as a tragedy and played it that way. Bob Gale said that as they were shooting they felt that they weren't getting the comedy that they thought they would get. Complete 180 when Fox came on. Fox was doing Family Ties during the day and Back to the Future at night. He was getting almost zero sleep during that time.
@@CristyReacts
1a - He was also essentially the same character in "Masters of the Universe", a movie that asks the question "what if 'Star Wars' but we ran out of money?"
8 - A resounding second to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". I came here just to recommend that movie. Definitely finish the BttF trilogy, but add "Roger Rabbit" to your list. Sooner than later. IMO an essentially perfect movie.
That and "The Princess Bride" are, IMO, essentially the only two perfect movies in cinematic history. Universally beloved.
(I might say "Walk Hard" as well to the "essentially perfect" thing, although for some reason I can't get all that many people on board recommending it to my favorite reactors. Maybe a lot more people haven't seen it, maybe don't even know about it, than I realize? Because I refuse to believe people have seen it and didn't like it, it's perfect.)
@@CristyReacts Also... another classic Michael J Fox movie from this era is "Teen Wolf". I'm not sure how strongly I'd recommend it because it's not great, but it is very unique and interesting. I'd describe it as stupid, honestly, but stupid/fun not stupid/bad. It's take on the genre is so wild... I still haven't seen a movie like it that approaches its premise in a similar way.
And there are some classic lines; the coach is a sports movie icon.
(I'd say watch it if only so that you can watch the "Summer of Tears" Teen Wolf video to have a frame of reference, because that video is fucking hilarious. That's not a great reason to watch an entire movie, but... oh well. It's a weird, interesting, silly, fun, stupid movie. I want it on your radar, at least. If you end up passing, so be it.)
I love your introductory comments. Sort of weird to say, maybe, for this genre of YT videos, but I appreciate knowing your background, and the reasons why you hadn't seen this film yet.
Thank you I really appreciate hearing that! :)
I'm glad this was your breakout reaction. It's a perfect movie and you did an amazing job!
Thank you!! Hope you stick around for part 2, coming up veryyyy soon!
5:03 The irony is that the guy with the glasses stating they are "TOO DARN LOUD" through a megaphone, which is ironic in and of itself, is actually Huey Lewis who wrote the song they are performing.
Since you asked, plutonium actually does look like a hunk of metal. Perhaps here it was dissolved into a liquid or something.
Great reaction Cristy. That back to the future ride you were talking about sounds fun
Great reaction Cristy, for such a new channel your editing lighting and audio are fantastic! Looking forward to seeing your reactions to the sequels. ⏰😙
Thank you so much for the kind words! Still figuring things out hehe
And yes I'll be doing the sequels over the coming weeks!
I love this movie. The time travel is so good. Im not sure if you noticed but the mall in the beginning of the movie was called Twin Pines Mall, but after Marty traveled back and drove over one of the pine trees getting away and returning to his present, the mall was changed to The Lone Pine Mall
"Why is that guy always wearing 3D glasses?"
Because he’s 3D.
The actor who plays 3D is Casey Siemaszko, a common but underrated Hollywood sidekick, who is in one of my favorite 80’s comedies, Three O’ Clock High.
He’s also in Stand By Me, Biloxi Blues, Milk Money and Young Guns, among many others and did voicing for Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption II.
Oh, so interestingggg! this is why I enjoy this channel so much, because I learn the coolest facts!
He is 3D? Is that an expression like “dope”?
“Three o’clock high” is THE 80s teen movie! Can’t wait to someone to react to it.
25:27 to answer your question about the 3-D glasses guy that’s his nickname 3-D, I believe and back in those days back in the 50s I guess they had special nicknames for people and Biff had a whole group of bullies that had all their different names google it you’ll find it
That was a great reaction! Thank you!
You should definitely watch part 2 and 3 as well, it is the trilogy that wraps up like no other I’ve seen. I’ll wait for you to react to part 2, because I don’t want to spoil anything right now, then I’ll show you something very cute (hopefully you allow TH-cam links in the comments). Watching the whole trilogy will also explain that “make like a tree and get out of here” thing.
There is something else that struck me - you very much resemble Laurel from “The Langoliers” - if you haven’t yet, I strongly recommend watching that one too.
Looking forward to your next reaction.
Salutations from Romania …
Yes! Watching part 2 and 3 shortly! Stay tuned:)
It's so great to see young people today react to this favorite movie of mine. And you all seem to love it just as much. That adds so much to my own 38 years old love for it. They really managed to make an incredible classic. ❤
Myself, I was 17 in 1985 just like Marty, and when part 2 came out I almost freaked out over the cool connection that the day they had travelled to in the future was my own birthday in 2015, October 21.
In 2017, I met Christopher Lloyd at SciFiWorld Stockholm, on HIS birthday Oct 22, and could congratulate him and tell my own connection on Oct 21. How my 47th birthday had been under planning for almost 26 years, since I first saw BTTF pt 2 on the night before Christmas in 1989. (It opened in Sweden Dec 22, a month after the world premiere, but I couldn't go see it until the night after.)
It dawned on me afterwards, I had forgotten to mention to him that I've worked at a Texaco station. His maternal grand father was actually one of the founders of Texaco. (But Texaco being the brand chosen in this trilogy had nothing to do with that.)
Another funny thing for me personally, is that I'm distantly related to the chemist Glenn T Seaborg who discovered or co-discovered ten transuranium elements including plutonium. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1951 and had element no. 106 named after him in 1997, when he was still alive. A funny credit about him is also that he at one point was in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest entry in Who's Who in America.
And I met Glenn at our family reunion in the fall of 1983, two years before BTTF came out. So the two by far most prominent persons I've met are connected by plutonium. Chris the most publicly famous person I've talked to, and Glenn the most prominent one. The discoverer of plutonium, and the fictitous discoverer of time travel thanks, depending on plutonium.
Now I need to see your reaction videos to part 2 and part 3. ❤
When you watch part 2 don't watch anything after the To Be Concluded screen. Part 2 and 3 were filmed at the same time and there's a mini trailer of sorts to hype people up for the 3rd one.
Another thing many people don't pick up is that the clock tower had a lightning rod that should have protected the clock. However, it didn't do so because Doc looped the cable from the lightning rod to the street over the minute hand of the clock when he slid down the line to reconnect it.
Now *that's* an eye for detail! Well noticed, friend.
Not sure if it's already been said, but the part with Marty playing Johnny B. Goode is actually referencing Chuck Berry who I believe is the original artist.
He was the original artist, but the song was actually released in 1957.
Great reaction Christy. Hope you watch number 3 soon...
Oh my God! You’re the first person I’ve watched to call the amplifier an amplifier. Nice job. Believe it or not, they despite that perfect ending for it, they had no intentions of making a sequel at the time. The next one is really great too. The third one is my personal favorite. They’re all so much fun.
As for them not recognizing Marty. If you think about it, would you really remember a kids face that went to your school for a week like 30 years ago? It still works.
Also, you mentioned butterfly effect, have you seen the movie? Thought you might be familiar with the theory but maybe not the movie. It’s really good.
With Ashton Kutcher right? Yeah I saw it yeeeaaarrrss ago!
my favorite is bttf2, then, #1 and last #3. i love western lierature but only this movie.
@@beeto45 Have you ever seen Tombstone? It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen. I didn’t even like Val Kilmer before that movie, didn’t think he was a good actor. Holy crap! He deserved an Oscar for his role as a doc Holiday. It has a stellar cast.
@@jeanine6328 thanks! i'll check out that movie.
@@CristyReacts
The theatrical ending
of "The Butterfly Effect"
is very different from
the directors' ending.
Basically, Evan
prevents his own birth.
I wish I could do that.
Thank you very much for the excellent content on your channel. I subscribed specifically because of your exceptional attention to detail, which sets you apart from other reactors. Although I may not always agree with your philosophical viewpoints, I appreciate the thoroughness with which you express your candid opinions and the nuanced perspectives you thoughtfully provide. Your analysis goes beyond the surface level and provides valuable insights.
Loved the reaction!
Another cameo that many miss is when Marty catches onto the green jeep, after the blue pickup truck on his way to school in 1985, the driver turns and sees him. The driver, wearing a green cap and glasses, is Harrison Ford.
That's a good one, except it's not true. The driver of the Jeep is stunt coordinator Walter Scott. I can't leave the link to this trivia (TH-cam removed a previous attempt) but you can find it on your own.
@@glennwisniewski9536wow! All these years I had thought otherwise. 😮
I checked it out. Yep, they got me on that one! ☺️. LOL.
Thanks. We learn too. 😂
Marty Mcfly’s advice about George and Lorraine going easy on their kid if he/she accidentally sets fire to the living room rug evokes memory of my own childhood. I vaguely remember me around 3 years old playing with matches and accidentally setting fire to the hall couch. The fire 🔥 started small but then as it consumed more couch material, it grew bigger and bigger and I was fascinated, transfixed by this phenomenon. Any longer and the whole hall might have been burning but luckily my mum saw it and promptly smothered the fire with a thick blanket. I was grateful to her for putting it out and for not smacking me for being mischievous
Hey Cristy great reaction to a great movie. I remember seeing this movie at the drive-in on Cape Cod in a double feature with another Michael J Fox comedy Teen Wolf. I was six so I didn't understand it fully until rewatching many times over the years. I just know I had alot of fun. This movie did make me wonder about what it would like if I went to high school with my parents. Would we have been friends? I still don't know. My parents started dating the fall of sophomore year of high school and married in their early 20s. Had kids and grandkids. Now they are in their 70s. My parents and I are very different. But this movie makes you think and has alot heart.
Biff is not a loser at the end. He owns his own business. He's just not a bully anymore.
The creator's of this have promised nobody will be allowed to make a remake or anything related to bttf while either of them alive. A lot of people, myself included want to see what Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland would do. There's even a fanmade deepfake video going around.
Oh wow, RDJ and Tom Holland would be the perfect Doc and Marty!!!!
Interesting alternative duo for a remake!
You don't need to remake something that was already perfect.
From wikipedia: The DMC DeLorean is a rear-engine two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) for the American market from 1981 until 1983-ultimately the only car brought to market by the fledgling company.
I think a lot of kids would miss the family resemblace if they weren't looking for it. Although probably because of Marty being their son they instinctively liked and trusted him. To your question if we met our parents as teens would we be friends? My dad not at all. and my mom? Maybe.
same same same sameee I would've maybe be friends with my mom, but in high school my dad wanted to be a priest and I was wildin out-- definitely not compatible haha!
How many people would recognize someone they knew in High School for less than a week 30 years later? Even if they did notice a resemblance, the idea that it actually was their son who'd traveled back in time wouldn't be the first thing they'd think of.
Thank you for watching one of my favorite films Cristy! The Back to the Future Trilogy is so iconic. The chemistry between Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd is outstanding. It shows why they are still close friends to this day. Thomas F. Wilson is actually I genuinely nice guy from what I’ve read, but he plays a really memorable villain in Biff. The Back to the Future films have a lot of heart, humor, and character, and I hope you enjoyed watching them!
The reason why one of Biff’s friend wears 3-D glasses is because 3-D films were extremely popular at that time. The period from 1952 to 1954 was seen as the golden age of such films with 57 produced during that span.
The song that Marty plays at the dance is Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry. It was one of the most iconic songs from the 1950s, but it was released in 1958. There is a part of Marty’s performance where the lead singer of the band, Marvin Berry, calls his cousin Chuck telling him to listen to Marty play over the phone. So the joke is that Marty McFly helped inspire Chuck Berry to write and perform Johnny B. Goode.
It's make like a tree and leave... Biff is a dummy...
Always heard it as “make like a tree and leaf 🍁 “
@@Hardrock1ait is a pun... Leave sounds like leaf.
Since I've watched this movie for the very first time in the 80's my favorites quotes have been "Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" and "1.21 GIGAWATTS! GREAT SCOTT!" LOL Best trilogy EVER!
Loved your reaction. You seem like such a genuine, wonderful person!
Thank you!!🤩
"I have to find out if this movie's actually good" (35 mins later) One of us! One of us!
You left out my favorite line!
Marty: Just give me a Pepsi Free...
Soda Jerk: You wanna Pepsi, pal, you gotta pay for it!
This movie is in my peronal top 3 of all time!
The joke is “Make like a tree and leave” but Biff was too much of an idiot to remember how it went.
5:01 The man with the bull horn is Huey Lewis. He was the singer for Huey Lewis and the News. The movies uses some of his music.
"Planet Vulcan" hahah so cool. One forgets that Star Trek did not appear in scene until 1966!! Another exceedingly cool moment is when Doc says "we need to send you back...to the future!" and he points to the viewer!!
Hey, I just came across your channel! This is one of my favorite movies! Yes, the Delorean is an actual car, I think it was only made for a few years in the early 80's, the company went bankrupt or something. Definitely watch the sequels! I see you're also on a Marvel journey, love those as well. You'll be seeing me around here for sure. Cya! 👋👋
Welcome aboard :)
Yeah Cristy. TOTALLY love you reactions. Keep em coming.
The guy with the megaphone that says that they're 'too loud' is in fact the artist who wrote and recorded the song they were playing. Huey Lewis and The News
The algorithm landed you video on my page and after only 5 or 10 minutes I subscribed, because that was an excellent reaction, you'll love the rest of the trilogy. Keep it up.
Really hope you watch the next 2 movies... it really is a PERFECT TRILOGY!!!! Subscribed!!
The one thing I never appreciated until the internet is how they did a good job with consistency. The sign at the mall says Twin Pine Mall but when Marty returns it is Lone Pine Mall. So many little things they caught.
"metal tube rocket launcher," 1942, transferred from the name of a junkyard musical instrument used (c. 1935) as a prop by U.S. comedian Bob Burns (1896-1956); the word is an extension of bazoo, a slang term for "mouth" or "boastful talk" (1877), which is probably from Dutch bazuin "trumpet."
The editing in this video is particularly great. The reactions are perfectly in tandem with the movie's dialogue, I know that's not an accident, well done.
Oh man thanks for this comment- my brother really puts a lot of effort into the edit. And I’m happy it’s not gone unnoticed! ❤️
Absolutely love your reactions! Subscribed!
Thank you joe! Welcome to the partyyyy 🎉
"Make like a tree & leave" was a popular 1950s expression 😆
Met Mr Fox randomly in a guitar store in SF….this guy radiates warmth and kindness.
Doc isn't actually guessing random stuff when he tries to read Marty's mind. It's subtle, but he's getting something from Marty, he just doesn't interpret what he's getting right. But the subscription guess is because he got the paper Marty used to verify the date. He suggests Coast Guard when the only person to say Coast Guard about the vest was Marty himself.
The absolute best movie about the 50’s diner scene is
“American Graffiti “
Full of stars now directors,
Han Solo is in it.
And the most beautiful cars you’ll ever see
Everything period specific
It’s fabulous
In its metallic form plutonium is silvery but turns dark grey when exposed to air. In solution it's purple, pale orange, _very_ pale pink, or dark green. It looks Plutonium (IV) hydrochloride is a deep orange, verging on red, so that's probably what they were aiming for.
As for why they didn't notice that Marty looked like the guy that got them together, while that guy was certainly very important to their lives, they only knew him for a week 30 years ago, and they'd watched Marty grow up for 17 years. I don't think it's that unlikely.
I love how they went back to November 5th that is what we call here in the UK bonfire night. Love back to the future and loved your reaction. Going to watch your back to the future 2 video. Great job I subbed and liked.
It's so funny to watch Marty standing like 5 feet from that massive speaker at full volume 😂 like, I have a small amp, 15W, 6inch speaker, and I need to get away from it when the volume is higher than 2/10
I meeeaaannn that’s what I thought too!
I'm very glad the algorithm brought me here. A small channel yet with a lot of potential to grow. And you're very charming and funny. I was well entertained. Thank you. For sure I'm gonna follow your way.
Welcome to the party, new friend! Can't wait to hear what you think of the other movies I react to. Part 3 is on the way!
My favourite movie
I love this movie so much. "I am your destiny" he says to her. And he was!
Girl.. I've been watching reaction videos for a while now. You are the most genuine person so far. Love it. Keep being yourself. Its refreshing.
Ooohhh daaammnnn BEST COMPLIMENT EVER!! thank you, and I hope you stick around ;)
Loved seeing your reaction. Felt like my first time seeing this again. Subscribed.
Thanks for subbing! I added part 2 and 3 to the list!
Fun fact: the guy who was judging the rock and roll that Marty played at school is the actual lead singer to the band that pays the power of love song.
When Marty was playing the guitar and one of the the musicians calls his relative called Chuck and he introduces himself as Marvin Berry, the person on the other side is Chuck Berry the real artists name that wrote and popularised the song "Johnny B. Goode". Released in 1958 rock song written and first recorded by American musician Chuck Berry. Released as a single, it peaked at number two on Billboard magazine's Hot R&B Sides chart and number eight on its pre-Hot 100 chart. "Johnny B. Goode" is considered one of the most recognizable songs in the history of popular music.
At the beginning of the movie Marty's band auditions for the prom by playing Huey Lewis and the News "Power of Love" in front of four people. The fellow with the glasses who said they were "too darn loud" was Huey Lewis.
