The blonde dude in Marty's band -- he's the guy who taught Fox how to play guitar for this film. The "too darn loud" guy is Huey Lewis -- he's the man who wrote the song "Power Of Love"... which was the song Marty was playing. The writers didn't know how to pronounce "gigawatts," so they went to a seminar, and the German physicist pronounced it "jigawatts," so they assumed THAT was the proper way to say it.
At the start of the film, Doc and Marty meet at the Twin Pines Mall. When Marty arrives in 1955, he runs over one of two pine trees in Old Man Peabody's farm. When Marty gets back to 1985, the mall is now called the Lone Pine Mall.
Also, when Doc is up on the ledge, he slips and kicks out a piece of the marble. Other than a broken clock, the clock tower was normal at the beginning of the movie in the original 1985, and when Marty comes back to the "new" 1985, the ledge still is broken - they never fixed it.
@@minnesotajones261 this movie has so many small details. I knew about the Twin Pines vs Lone Pine one, but I never knew about the damage to the clock tower.
In the second movie, the dude who talks about how he wishes he could go back in time and bet on the Cubs in 2015 is the mechanic who gets in a screaming match with Biff for getting his car covered in manure in 1955
I've been watching this movie for 35 years and never really noticed what you did on the first viewing: that Doc is more mellow in the "new" 1985. It makes sense because he knew for the last 30 years that his invention would work, so he was likely far less stressed than the original 1985 version of himself.
You're absolutely right about this movie aging well and being timeless. I was 7 in 1984 and loved this movie. I love it as an adult. And, when I was teaching some years ago, my students loved it as well. Classics never die.
I think I was nine, lived in a country town but when we'd visit our grandparents in Sydney I remember movies like these being those I'd goto with my big brother on our own. It's a category of its own thats comedy but also entertaining action. I loved all three but my brother was the more hardcore fan. He had "power of love" by Huey Lewis playing at the end of his wedding service (and he actually is a priest) haha :P. I was more of a Bill & Ted fan. If I ever get married the outro song from the service with be Two Heads by Powertool :)
My dad was 17, 47 & 77 for each of the years they travel to in the first couple films (1955, 1985 & 2015) I should have him rewatch these with me. I’d love to know more about his high school years🙂
23:20 The lead singer for the high school band dance was named Marvin Berry. He was calling his cousin Chuck Berry who was the original singer of Johnny B. Goode.
I lost my father 27 years ago, but one of the happiest memories I have was his taking me to the movies in the '80s. I have a very detailed memory of the day he and I went to Back to the Future for the first time. I remember the moments we laughed and thrilled to this adventure, and how much he loved the music. I feel his spirit every time I see this film. The '80s man, it was an indescribably awesome time to be a teen. Good review brother....👍
6:48 "I sent him into the future! One minute into the future to be exact." Informer: "Okay so how do we get him back?"........... Um, ...........Wait one minute.
Lol ikr Mustve been that burly V8 he slid in there. When i was a kid i was so disappointed the first time i saw a real DeLorean. Sounded nothing like Doc's
The top 2 things that made this movie so great imo is the incredible writing and the chemistry you mentioned. I don't know if I've seen two actors mesh any better than Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd did.
I love that whole chocolate milk move George does. "Lou gimma milk. Chocolate!" ::glass of chocolate milk instantly slides across counter:: Had me in hysterics :)
12:14 I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this. Don't worry, none of the other reaction videos have either. If you notice when Marty is telling his Uncle Joey to get used to these bars look at his shirt. White and black stripes similar to what the standard prison clothes were until they went to orange.
at the beginning when they are watching the TV, they are weatching the episode of the honeymooners, ralph dressed as a man from space he told his mom's family about in 1955 (i've seen this one)
Michael J Fox was initially not cast in the film as he was already doing the show ‘Family Ties’ which was one of the biggest shows of the 1980s probably the second most watched show after Cheers They asked the show runner of Family Ties (Gary David Goldberg) and he didn’t want to lose his big star from his show so he didn’t tell Michael J Fox because he felt bad about denying him a job in a Steven Spielberg produced time travel film So the film makers hired the actor Eric Stoltz however wasn’t working because he took the role too seriously and had everyone call him Marty off camera too So when he was fired they went to Michael J Fox who was coming off of Teen Wolf which wasn’t a great success but when the show runner of Family Ties was asked again he allowed Fox to do the role so long as he was still able to do the show so Fox ended up working on Family Ties during the day and Back to the Future during the night getting about 3 hours sleep in the back of a car while being driven from each set They ended having to reshoot all the scenes with Marty that had already been
Good edit. You left in most of the pertinent parts. Love your presentation. You're not in a box and the movie is big and clear. Technically superior to most. Nice work. Really enjoyed it.
The funny thing about the guy who said the comment " Your just Too darn loud" is Huey Lewis that is the guy that sings that song "Back in Time" that Marty McFly's band is playing and most of the rest of the soundtrack, so just a great job of making fun of themselfs in the beginning of the movie (I'm sure that they heard that alot from thier critics at the time).
The joke you did not get: "Make like a tree and, get out of here" is to show how dumb Biff is. The actual saying is "Make like a tree, and leave". English being my second language and me not being aware of many phrases of the sort left me clueless to its meaning for many years. Something that many younger viewers familiar with the trilogy do not realize is that this movie actually ended with a "The End" but when it finally got released on VHS they had changed it to "To be continued..." which got a lot of people excited about the sequels.
It was made as a standalone film, and wasn't meant to be continued. But after its huge success, they decided to make more. (Luckily, they had a really good sequel hook, even if it wasn't meant seriously.) The other two were conceived and shot as a single production.
One of the most iconic sci-fi comedies with one of the most iconic theme songs of all time!Going on the ride with my dad at Universal Studios Hollywood was one of my happiest childhood memories!Simpler times.
Fun fact: television reruns did not exist until the show I Love Lucy. Lucille Ball needed to take time off from her show because she was having her first child, and so they decided to run previous episodes as “flashbacks” making television producers suddenly realize that they could repackage old episodes of shows. Also, Jerry Lewis was a very popular Jewish comedian who created such films as the original Nutty Professor. The Eddie Murphy version is a remake.
I love all the connections throughout all three films. I’ve watched these movies so many times and each time I feel like I find more re occurrences and it’s amazing.
These movies always put me in a good lighthearted mood. Awesome feel good movies with amazing plot, so much attention to details and lovely characters. The perfect movies.
_"Make like a tree and get out of here."_ The running joke is that Biff is too stupid to realize he's getting the expression wrong. The CORRECT expression is, "Make like a tree and leave."
I saw somebody else already comment that the "you're just too darn loud" guy was Huey Lewis, but the reason he said that was because that was a rejection he once got in real life!
Since you liked this film, I’d highly recommend that you check out another Spielberg/Zemeckis collaboration in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It sounds silly, but it’s a film noir murder mystery involving cartoons.
I watched a lot of back to the future reactions during the pandemic, and you are the first one getting the best and maybe the most important joke of the movie (the reason why the movie is set in 1955 especifically) the Joke about Marty inventing Rock and Roll
Ronald Reagan was an actor then in 55 and Jerry Lewis was a famous comedian as well as Jayne Wyman was an actress and formally married to Ronald Reagan during the 50's he was the President in the 80's
22:26 "Don't let Rick Roll steal your girl" - I'm never gonna look at that scene the same again, perfect comment and edit/insert. Nice reaction to one of my 3 movies.
"Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?!" This is a running gag that the Tannens don't get puns and metaphors. Let us just say that the Nobel academy will never have to learn the name 'Biff Tannen'. The classic line is, 'Make like a tree and LEAVE' (trees- leaf- leaves- leave 🤷🏼♂️). Marty knows this. Strickland knows this. George & Lorraine know it. Even Biffs gormless, simpering goons know it. EVERYONE in that cafeteria knows it... except for Biff.
I was 15 when I saw this in the theatre (like... Movie Night with my parents LOL). You are so on point that it is a feel good film and "timeless" since the majority takes place in 1955 and the bits set in the 80s are not too distracting (it's actually nostalgic for an old timer like myself LOL----- Which is ironic because the 1950s stuff was probably nostalgic for *my* parents!). One of my favourite 80s films. So- Doc is on the clocktower, pulls too hard on the electrical cord and it comes out of the plug down on the street. The lightning is about to strike, and the DeLorean is screaming up the street. My Father leaned over to me and said "I don't know HOW they're going to get out of this one!!" I get goosebumps every time I watch that scene as it reminds me of what my Dad said that night. So the coolest Easter Egg of this film is that you can "see" the second Marty arriving when Doc gets shot the *1st time* in the parking lot. It's a little hard to describe- but when Doc tosses his pistol away- just to his right and around the height of his butt is a rectangular white sign in the background. As the pistol flies through the air you can see a "shadow" run past this sign. This moment coincides precisely when Marty returns to the Mall on foot at the end of the film to witness Doc being shot for the second time, and himself driving away- it was Marty's shadow on that sign the first time around!
The guy that says "your just to darn loud" during his guitar audition was Huey Lewis and the News.. That's the band singing The Power of Love in the movie....
At this time this was done, Micheal J Fox was doing "family ties" season 3 at the same time. He said it about killed him. He did "family ties" in the morning and did "back to the future" at night 5 days a week. More then once he did "back to the future" on the weekend to. He knew about part 2 but said he wanted to wait till he was free from the show to finish the series. Thats why parts 2 and 3 where in 1989.
This entire trilogy is such a classic. Shame that Michael J Fox ended up struggling with Parkinson's, feel bad for him and will always wonder what he could've accomplished in the time after his diagnosis. Man, this entire trilogy had so much going for it. Even if the ending was a joke and they never planned to make a second movie I'm glad they made two more films.
The name "Back to the Future" means they need to get "BACK" to 1985. And yes, it was one of the all time classic films. Part 2 is also amazing. Enjoy the ride!!!
Jerry Lee Lewis was a famous rock'n'roll singer/piano player whose most famous hit was "Great Balls of Fire", a song which was also played by Goose with Maverick (Tom Cruise) in the film "Top Gun" in one scene.
Hitting all the 80s sweet spots, man. This was the only film I ever saw at a theatre that the entire audience cheered and whooped for at the end. Wish I had a DeLorean so I could go back and watch it again for the first time! 👍
27:00 The McFlys are not rich. They saved and planned for the future and never gave up on anything. George McFly has spent the last 30 years writing his first novel because he had to keep his mind to it and he had to work out all the little details so it would be perfect. He also spent a lot of time with his kids and teaching them about life and being with them which means he could only write when he had tme for it but he always made time for his family. Also, Biff's willingness to help George over the years probably made life easier than if he resolved to make his life trash as in the previous iteration. This ending was executive produced by Crispin Glover who explained to the production team that if the McFlys were already rich they wouldn't live here and Marty might never get home; also their original idea of succes was something Glover couldn't pretend to be proud of.
Well if you compare Biff's clothes in the orginal timeline and George's clothes in the altered timeline you could assume that they have a similar wealth/income level. Which might bring you to the conclusion that George is simply having Biff's job or in other words that he is getting paid for the job that he was already doing in the original timeline as Biff was foisting off/"delegating" his work. But they might become rich now if George's novel was selling well...
@@michaelklaus I'm pretty sure it's a good book. Of course, he probably believes that Eddie Van Halen, George Lucas, and Gene Roddenberry were also visited by aliens in radiation suits who threatened to fry their brains.
If you noticed. The shopping mall is called twin pines in the beginning and then Marty runs over the pine, when he goes back it is called lone pine mall.
Great reaction⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I saw this in the theatre on opening night I was 17. The crowd cheered and clapped at the end. Much like you. It was pure Movie Magic . ⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️
Originally Michael J Fox couldn't do this movie because of his commitment to the sitcom Family Ties. They shot the first few scenes with a different actor (which you can actually find online) before agreeing to let MJF do the majority of his scenes at night, when he had time. This is why most of the scenes take place at night.
They had actually shot quite a lot with Eric Stoltz as Marty. But the producers thought he was just missing something for the character, so they ended up having to reshoot most of it once they got MJF.
"That's a vest, sir. For fashion." The 1950s, before fashion was invented. It's funny how the DeLorean car brand is mostly known for this film these days rather than the car itself. I wonder how it would be remembered if this film hadn't used it.
Weird Science is an hilarious one to watch!! One of Robert Downey Jr’s first roles. He was one of the high school bullies. He was so young I bet you won’t recognize he at first sight.
First film i ever saw in a cinema! 5 years old in 84...remember getting a book with a 'cassette tape' story from the cinema....like everyone else, immediately got a skateboard!
When you watch part 2. Make sure you stop watching as soon as it finishes. Because straight after it finishes but before the end credits. It shows a trailer for part 3 that is very spoiler filled.
This is another classic and you are right. It has such replay value. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to watch it in the theater when it was released but a neighborhood friend did. When it was released for video rental I talked my dad into renting it and it instantly became a family favorite. The sequels aren't as good, but well worth watching. So glad you got a chance to see this. Excellent film.
Btw, they didn’t intend to make sequels for this movie. The car flying at the end was a joke. But then everyone loved it and basically demanded a sequel. The director said if sequels were planned they wouldn’t have ended it the way they did with Jennifer in the car. A lot of people they were because they added To Be Continued at the end for the vhs and tv airings
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. There was ONE TIME I had a dream where I was in the DeLorean, had it floored, and the MOMENT when that digital speedometer hit 88... I woke up. I was mad for the rest of the day. I wanted to see when I was going to! 😂
@ 23:12 Not invent rock n roll because it was around a few years before, but to give the REAL Chuck Berry the song he would later write and make into the big hit song in the late 50s he's most remembered for "Johnny B. Goode". Then Marty, born many years later would hear the song Chuck Berry wrote and played, learn to play it himself knowing Chuck Berry wrote it and go back in time to give it to Chuck again, and...and... It's like the old "Chicken and the egg" thing. Which came first?! 😁 That's one of those time-paradoxes that convince many pros that time traveling into the past is impossible. But into the future, definitely. The movies are fun though! Keep 'em coming! Don't forget "Interstellar" someday for more interesting time travel. ✌️😎
Seen it a million times. It’s a childhood favorite and never gets old. You should do blues brothers another of my childhood favs with tons of replay value
I watch a lot of these reaction videos, and I think you’re great. Back to the Future is my all-time favorite, and I had the privilege of watching it in the theater when I was nine years old.
This movie had a tight script, good comedy, fantastic actors, and a great director. Definitely a classic and the 2 sequels are good too! TRIVIA: These movies are so clever with things that you don't catch it all on first viewing. For example: It’s the Twin Pines mall but Marty knocks down one of Peabody's 2 pine trees. When he goes back the sign changes to Lone Pine Mall. Michael J. Fox couldn't originally do the movie so they gave the part to Eric Stoltz. The comedy just wasn't working so they fired the guy. The producers of the show Family Ties wouldn't let Michael J. Fox off to film the movie so he had to do a sitcom during the day, and film on nights & weekends. The BttF crew picked him up just so he could sleep a little bit on the car ride to the film set. The bulk of the movie was filmed from 6pm to 6am.
Back in the mid-1980s, movie theaters were upgrading their sound systems from stereo to surround sound and Back to the Future was one of the first movies to truly capitalize on it - at the point when the Delorean first travels through time, the sound 'shifts' from the front to the rear. (If you have a good home theater with 5.1 or better, the DVD & BluRay editions also do this.) In 1985, however, movie-goers weren't accustomed to this and I had fun sitting in the very back row and watching all the heads turn to follow the sound and look behind them. Also, Jerry Lewis was a famous film comedian of the 1950s and 1960s - Jim Carrey is very much his modern counterpart. Jane Wyman was the sex bomb actress of the era who, at the time, was married to Reagan. Jack Benny was another comedian of the era (more for TV than film) and was a notorious miser - hence, the "Secretary of the Treasury" quip. Biff's an idiot. The line is supposed to be "make like a tree and leave" (because trees have leaves). In the sequel, he tops it with "funny as a screen door on a battleship" instead of "submarine".
Since Ronald Reagan was actor who became president, Doc in 1955 didn’t believe Marty when he said Reagan was president. Jerry Lewis was an actor so Doc sarcastically referred to him as the Vice President since it would have been hard to believe in 1955 that actor became president.
The reason why there were 2 Marty's in the new 1985 is because he was reborn from George and Lorraine. Once the new Marty had disappeared to 1955 again, the original Marty could take his place and no one was any the wiser. He sneaked out of his bedroom window to go to the mall car park and sneaked back into his bedroom through the window so according to the rest of his family, he was in bed all night
88 miles an hour!!! Wait a minute Doc, are you actually telling me you built a time machine out of a Delorean? The way I see it, if you're gonna turn a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
the guy telling them they are too loud is actaully huey lewis dressed up, the same guy that wrote the power of love
I figured the principal told the audition committee to come up with any excuse to reject Marty’s band.
@@nrkgalt who wouldn't reject them? They started their audition with a ten minute long solo.
John, Huey didn't just write the song he sang it in the movie.
@@timcarr6401 yes, but I guess I assumed that would be understood, although I suppose not necessarliy. i guess I take that for granted
Huey Lewis also performs the final song "Back In Time"
The blonde dude in Marty's band -- he's the guy who taught Fox how to play guitar for this film. The "too darn loud" guy is Huey Lewis -- he's the man who wrote the song "Power Of Love"... which was the song Marty was playing.
The writers didn't know how to pronounce "gigawatts," so they went to a seminar, and the German physicist pronounced it "jigawatts," so they assumed THAT was the proper way to say it.
The writing is also pretty much perfect. They use it to reach screen writing.
The whole trilogy is excellent.
I can believe that!
@@CapedInformer It’s not actually, the 1st one imo is the best.

That would make an interesting experience
Please do it! The story idea came about when the writer Bob Gale found his dad's h.s. yearbook and wondered if they'd have been friends.
And all the girlies (from the 50s) say, _he's pretty fly for a McFly._
And the crowd goes mildddd
23:20 The lead singer for the high school band dance was named Marvin Berry. He was calling his cousin Chuck Berry who was the original singer of Johnny B. Goode.
Yeah, so it was more like Marty knows the song by Chuck, travels back in time, plays the song and gives C. Berry the inspiration for the song.
Yeah...it's amazing how he relayed the entire song to him, note-for-note, in a 10 second phonecall!
Also a fun fact:
The actor who played Marvin Berry also played "Slick", one of the passengers in the movie Airplane that spoke jive.
I lost my father 27 years ago, but one of the happiest memories I have was his taking me to the movies in the '80s. I have a very detailed memory of the day he and I went to Back to the Future for the first time. I remember the moments we laughed and thrilled to this adventure, and how much he loved the music. I feel his spirit every time I see this film. The '80s man, it was an indescribably awesome time to be a teen. Good review brother....👍
Appreciate the support brother!
Marty has a brand new Casio calculator watch and can't think of a way to prove to Doc that he's from the future.
Lol he would of found an excuse for that too
In fact he KNOWS that it is an anachronism as he hides it from Al (or whatever the maltshop owners name is) when it starts beeping.
🤔😆
6:48 "I sent him into the future! One minute into the future to be exact."
Informer: "Okay so how do we get him back?"........... Um,
...........Wait one minute.
If you like the clothes in this movie, wait until you see the shoes in part 2.
They reference those shoes in "Black Panther".
"Power laces" 🤘🏼😁
Notice how the fashion today is pretty much what's been worn
Marty McFly. The first man to be shot at, by two different people, within a span of 5 minutes, but also 30 years apart.
Everyone needs a cool crazy friend like Doc Brown. :D
This was a fun movie when I saw it in 85 and it’s still a fun movie now.
I saw it in 1985 too! I was 17 years old. I'll never forget it.
Marty: Wait, wait, wait... Doc. You mean to tell me that you made a Delorean... get up to 88 MPH?!
Lol ikr
Mustve been that burly V8 he slid in there. When i was a kid i was so disappointed the first time i saw a real DeLorean. Sounded nothing like Doc's
The top 2 things that made this movie so great imo is the incredible writing and the chemistry you mentioned. I don't know if I've seen two actors mesh any better than Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd did.
The actor playing Marty's dad did such a good job because he really is eccentric and weird like that in real life.
Yeah, and he plays mr world in American gods pretty darn well. Great underrated actor
I love that whole chocolate milk move George does. "Lou gimma milk. Chocolate!"
::glass of chocolate milk instantly slides across counter::
Had me in hysterics :)
Lol that was a great scene
"reefer addicts" was a phrase inserted into society by a film called 'Reefer Madness' from the '30s. It makes for very comedic viewing today.

If you notice when Marty is telling his Uncle Joey to get used to these bars look at his shirt. White and black stripes similar to what the standard prison clothes were until they went to orange.
Oh yea I noticed, just didn’t mention lol
at the beginning when they are watching the TV, they are weatching the episode of the honeymooners, ralph dressed as a man from space he told his mom's family about in 1955 (i've seen this one)
I was gonna start work, then I saw this, and I had to watch someone watch a movie I’ve basically memorized in my head once again.
Hahaha. Hope I made it worth revisiting again
Man, as a 90's kid it's so weird for me to meet people who never watched this film xD Glad you enjoyed it ;)
"Don't let Rick Roll steal your girl, George!" Haha, you're awesome. I love watching people experience this movie for the first time.
Haha glad you enjoyed it!
I only recently found out that guy is Courtney Gains from the original Children of the corn
This movie never ages...so iconic! I also agree about Jennifer...every time I rewatch this film I am blown away by her beauty as well :)
Michael J Fox was initially not cast in the film as he was already doing the show ‘Family Ties’ which was one of the biggest shows of the 1980s probably the second most watched show after Cheers
They asked the show runner of Family Ties (Gary David Goldberg) and he didn’t want to lose his big star from his show so he didn’t tell Michael J Fox because he felt bad about denying him a job in a Steven Spielberg produced time travel film
So the film makers hired the actor Eric Stoltz however wasn’t working because he took the role too seriously and had everyone call him Marty off camera too
So when he was fired they went to Michael J Fox who was coming off of Teen Wolf which wasn’t a great success but when the show runner of Family Ties was asked again he allowed Fox to do the role so long as he was still able to do the show so Fox ended up working on Family Ties during the day and Back to the Future during the night getting about 3 hours sleep in the back of a car while being driven from each set
They ended having to reshoot all the scenes with Marty that had already been
Good edit. You left in most of the pertinent parts. Love your presentation. You're not in a box and the movie is big and clear. Technically superior to most. Nice work. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks! I put a lot of thought into presentation

One of the best constructed films of all times as far as the tight script goes. Also, you are really quick about putting these out, I am impressed.
Agreed. Flawless writing. And thanks! Been motivated

yg, What country are you from?
Did you know it wasn't scripted too?
I loved his reaction wait I don't get that one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Marty first arrives in Hill Valley 1955, he notices a marquee on a theatre with a film starring Ronald Reagan (back when he was an actor).
One of the most iconic sci-fi comedies with one of the most iconic theme songs of all time!Going on the ride with my dad at Universal Studios Hollywood was one of my happiest childhood memories!Simpler times.

@@CapedInformer check out the original sometime. I think it lacks some narrative focus, but it’s got some great comedy.
jerrry lewis is a comdian from that time. he died a few years ago. they used to do the jerry lewis telthon every year on pbs too
He was like the Jim Carrey of the 50's - 60's
He was the original Nutty Professor. Also a great singer. Started the big time as a comedy duo with the great Dean Martin.
I love all the connections throughout all three films. I’ve watched these movies so many times and each time I feel like I find more re occurrences and it’s amazing.
These movies always put me in a good lighthearted mood. Awesome feel good movies with amazing plot, so much attention to details and lovely characters. The perfect movies.
I'm so happy I'm not the only person who thought that redhead looked like Rick Astley
_"Make like a tree and get out of here."_
The running joke is that Biff is too stupid to realize he's getting the expression wrong. The CORRECT expression is,
"Make like a tree and leave."
I saw somebody else already comment that the "you're just too darn loud" guy was Huey Lewis, but the reason he said that was because that was a rejection he once got in real life!
Since you liked this film, I’d highly recommend that you check out another Spielberg/Zemeckis collaboration in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It sounds silly, but it’s a film noir murder mystery involving cartoons.
Seriously, it’s excellent. Christopher Lloyd is in it as well, playing a very different character.
I’ve heard of it but haven’t seen it yet!
@@CapedInformer the effects are extraordinary, and were groundbreaking.
@@CapedInformer definitely check it out
I watched a lot of back to the future reactions during the pandemic, and you are the first one getting the best and maybe the most important joke of the movie (the reason why the movie is set in 1955 especifically) the Joke about Marty inventing Rock and Roll
Ronald Reagan was an actor then in 55 and Jerry Lewis was a famous comedian as well as Jayne Wyman was an actress and formally married to Ronald Reagan during the 50's he was the President in the 80's
22:26 "Don't let Rick Roll steal your girl" - I'm never gonna look at that scene the same again, perfect comment and edit/insert. Nice reaction to one of my 3 movies.
Lol glad you liked it
"Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?!"
This is a running gag that the Tannens don't get puns and metaphors. Let us just say that the Nobel academy will never have to learn the name 'Biff Tannen'.
The classic line is, 'Make like a tree and LEAVE' (trees- leaf- leaves- leave 🤷🏼♂️).
Marty knows this. Strickland knows this. George & Lorraine know it. Even Biffs gormless, simpering goons know it. EVERYONE in that cafeteria knows it... except for Biff.
I was 15 when I saw this in the theatre (like... Movie Night with my parents LOL). You are so on point that it is a feel good film and "timeless" since the majority takes place in 1955 and the bits set in the 80s are not too distracting (it's actually nostalgic for an old timer like myself LOL----- Which is ironic because the 1950s stuff was probably nostalgic for *my* parents!). One of my favourite 80s films.
So- Doc is on the clocktower, pulls too hard on the electrical cord and it comes out of the plug down on the street. The lightning is about to strike, and the DeLorean is screaming up the street. My Father leaned over to me and said "I don't know HOW they're going to get out of this one!!"
I get goosebumps every time I watch that scene as it reminds me of what my Dad said that night.
So the coolest Easter Egg of this film is that you can "see" the second Marty arriving when Doc gets shot the *1st time* in the parking lot. It's a little hard to describe- but when Doc tosses his pistol away- just to his right and around the height of his butt is a rectangular white sign in the background. As the pistol flies through the air you can see a "shadow" run past this sign.
This moment coincides precisely when Marty returns to the Mall on foot at the end of the film to witness Doc being shot for the second time, and himself driving away- it was Marty's shadow on that sign the first time around!
Oh wow I didn’t notice that. Thanks nice Easter egg!
Glad that more people are getting into this movie, I watched all three movies like dozen times growing up.
3:11 - CAMEO : That's Steven Spielberg Driving the Jeep
The guy that says "your just to darn loud" during his guitar audition was Huey Lewis and the News.. That's the band singing The Power of Love in the movie....
At this time this was done, Micheal J Fox was doing "family ties" season 3 at the same time. He said it about killed him. He did "family ties" in the morning and did "back to the future" at night 5 days a week. More then once he did "back to the future" on the weekend to. He knew about part 2 but said he wanted to wait till he was free from the show to finish the series. Thats why parts 2 and 3 where in 1989.
Im glad you watched this movie on your channel, I recently came across your videos and this is my favorite movie of all time.
15:20
It's "Make like a tree and LEAVE" but Bif always gets it wrong by saying "Make like a tree and get out of here"
This entire trilogy is such a classic. Shame that Michael J Fox ended up struggling with Parkinson's, feel bad for him and will always wonder what he could've accomplished in the time after his diagnosis. Man, this entire trilogy had so much going for it. Even if the ending was a joke and they never planned to make a second movie I'm glad they made two more films.
The name "Back to the Future" means they need to get "BACK" to 1985. And yes, it was one of the all time classic films. Part 2 is also amazing. Enjoy the ride!!!
Back To The Future is my all-favorite movie trilogy!..it have a good understanding about time travel .......
Jerry Lee Lewis was a famous rock'n'roll singer/piano player whose most famous hit was "Great Balls of Fire", a song which was also played by Goose with Maverick (Tom Cruise) in the film "Top Gun" in one scene.
They're talking about Jerry Lewis, not Jerry Lee Lewis. Jerry Lewis was a famous comedian from the 50s and 60s.
The phrase is supposed to be "make like a tree and leave (as in leaf)", but because Biff is so dumn, me wasn't even able to get that correct.
Hitting all the 80s sweet spots, man. This was the only film I ever saw at a theatre that the entire audience cheered and whooped for at the end. Wish I had a DeLorean so I could go back and watch it again for the first time! 👍
27:00 The McFlys are not rich. They saved and planned for the future and never gave up on anything.
George McFly has spent the last 30 years writing his first novel because he had to keep his mind to it and he had to work out all the little details so it would be perfect.
He also spent a lot of time with his kids and teaching them about life and being with them which means he could only write when he had tme for it but he always made time for his family.
Also, Biff's willingness to help George over the years probably made life easier than if he resolved to make his life trash as in the previous iteration.
This ending was executive produced by Crispin Glover who explained to the production team that if the McFlys were already rich they wouldn't live here and Marty might never get home; also their original idea of succes was something Glover couldn't pretend to be proud of.
Well if you compare Biff's clothes in the orginal timeline and George's clothes in the altered timeline you could assume that they have a similar wealth/income level. Which might bring you to the conclusion that George is simply having Biff's job or in other words that he is getting paid for the job that he was already doing in the original timeline as Biff was foisting off/"delegating" his work. But they might become rich now if George's novel was selling well...
@@michaelklaus I'm pretty sure it's a good book.
Of course, he probably believes that Eddie Van Halen, George Lucas, and Gene Roddenberry were also visited by aliens in radiation suits who threatened to fry their brains.
If you noticed. The shopping mall is called twin pines in the beginning and then Marty runs over the pine, when he goes back it is called lone pine mall.
Great reaction⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I saw this in the theatre on opening night I was 17. The crowd cheered and clapped at the end. Much like you. It was pure Movie Magic . ⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️
Originally Michael J Fox couldn't do this movie because of his commitment to the sitcom Family Ties. They shot the first few scenes with a different actor (which you can actually find online) before agreeing to let MJF do the majority of his scenes at night, when he had time. This is why most of the scenes take place at night.
They had actually shot quite a lot with Eric Stoltz as Marty. But the producers thought he was just missing something for the character, so they ended up having to reshoot most of it once they got MJF.
"That's a vest, sir. For fashion."
The 1950s, before fashion was invented.
It's funny how the DeLorean car brand is mostly known for this film these days rather than the car itself. I wonder how it would be remembered if this film hadn't used it.
A couple notches below the Bricklin, I suppose.
Weird Science is an hilarious one to watch!! One of Robert Downey Jr’s first roles. He was one of the high school bullies. He was so young I bet you won’t recognize he at first sight.
First film i ever saw in a cinema! 5 years old in 84...remember getting a book with a 'cassette tape' story from the cinema....like everyone else, immediately got a skateboard!
13:03 Jerry Lewis was the original _The Nutty Professor._ I highly recommend you watch that movie.
When you watch part 2. Make sure you stop watching as soon as it finishes. Because straight after it finishes but before the end credits. It shows a trailer for part 3 that is very spoiler filled.
Thanks
3:08 That Burger King sign is no longer retro, as BK has gone back in time and rebranded itself once again with that logo in 2021.
My favourite comedy of all time.
I remember seeing this in the theater, when it ended people cheered… still one of my favorite films
This is another classic and you are right. It has such replay value. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to watch it in the theater when it was released but a neighborhood friend did. When it was released for video rental I talked my dad into renting it and it instantly became a family favorite. The sequels aren't as good, but well worth watching. So glad you got a chance to see this. Excellent film.
The head judge of the talent show/battle of the bands was Huey Lewis, the singer of much of the soundtrack.
Btw, they didn’t intend to make sequels for this movie. The car flying at the end was a joke. But then everyone loved it and basically demanded a sequel. The director said if sequels were planned they wouldn’t have ended it the way they did with Jennifer in the car. A lot of people they were because they added To Be Continued at the end for the vhs and tv airings
Oh that’s crazy, they set the ending up so perfectly for it lol
Almost 1.21 Gigawatts of Fun! Plus I'm your Density, You're my Density, I mean Destiny.
I swear Biff in back to the future 2 reminds me of Trump so much. He is just like him in all ways. Especially 80's Trump.
Another Crispin Glover movie, that is very different, is “The River’s Edge” it’s also Keanu Reeves first movie. Great twisted movie.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. There was ONE TIME I had a dream where I was in the DeLorean, had it floored, and the MOMENT when that digital speedometer hit 88... I woke up. I was mad for the rest of the day. I wanted to see when I was going to! 😂
Perfect comments at the end :) Looking forward to you seeing parts II and III :D
Thanks!
Lol you get the dog back by waiting for the Delorean to travel 1 min into the future
@ 23:12 Not invent rock n roll because it was around a few years before, but to give the REAL Chuck Berry the song he would later write and make into the big hit song in the late 50s he's most remembered for "Johnny B. Goode". Then Marty, born many years later would hear the song Chuck Berry wrote and played, learn to play it himself knowing Chuck Berry wrote it and go back in time to give it to Chuck again, and...and... It's like the old "Chicken and the egg" thing. Which came first?! 😁 That's one of those time-paradoxes that convince many pros that time traveling into the past is impossible. But into the future, definitely. The movies are fun though! Keep 'em coming! Don't forget "Interstellar" someday for more interesting time travel. ✌️😎
Thanks! And I’m building up to the big Interstellar, don’t worry 😉 haha
Seen it a million times. It’s a childhood favorite and never gets old. You should do blues brothers another of my childhood favs with tons of replay value
16:46 "Mighty big high schooler."
Michael J. Fox is only 5'4. He's a mighty short high schooler.
i loved how that guy that took the guitar from marty looked at it like : "How the hell did he make my guitar put out that sound?"
I watch a lot of these reaction videos, and I think you’re great. Back to the Future is my all-time favorite, and I had the privilege of watching it in the theater when I was nine years old.
This movie had a tight script, good comedy, fantastic actors, and a great director. Definitely a classic and the 2 sequels are good too!
TRIVIA: These movies are so clever with things that you don't catch it all on first viewing. For example: It’s the Twin Pines mall but Marty knocks down one of Peabody's 2 pine trees. When he goes back the sign changes to Lone Pine Mall.
Michael J. Fox couldn't originally do the movie so they gave the part to Eric Stoltz. The comedy just wasn't working so they fired the guy.
The producers of the show Family Ties wouldn't let Michael J. Fox off to film the movie so he had to do a sitcom during the day, and film on nights & weekends. The BttF crew picked him up just so he could sleep a little bit on the car ride to the film set. The bulk of the movie was filmed from 6pm to 6am.
Forgot how fun this movie is. Great reaction video, thanks!
This movie really is a bona-fide classic. Great reaction bro! 😎
I currently live and work at that mall today. It is Puente Hills mall So Cal.
Back in the mid-1980s, movie theaters were upgrading their sound systems from stereo to surround sound and Back to the Future was one of the first movies to truly capitalize on it - at the point when the Delorean first travels through time, the sound 'shifts' from the front to the rear. (If you have a good home theater with 5.1 or better, the DVD & BluRay editions also do this.) In 1985, however, movie-goers weren't accustomed to this and I had fun sitting in the very back row and watching all the heads turn to follow the sound and look behind them.
Also, Jerry Lewis was a famous film comedian of the 1950s and 1960s - Jim Carrey is very much his modern counterpart. Jane Wyman was the sex bomb actress of the era who, at the time, was married to Reagan. Jack Benny was another comedian of the era (more for TV than film) and was a notorious miser - hence, the "Secretary of the Treasury" quip.
Biff's an idiot. The line is supposed to be "make like a tree and leave" (because trees have leaves). In the sequel, he tops it with "funny as a screen door on a battleship" instead of "submarine".
This reaction was so great. Your comments are hilarious.
Thanks !
Yeah, this is legit one fo the best all-around/feel-good/fun movies ever made. I saw it when it came out & I like it MORE now!
I always wondered why Doc isn't shocked at the sight of a color photograph when Marty first shows him the photo with his siblings.
Since Ronald Reagan was actor who became president, Doc in 1955 didn’t believe Marty when he said Reagan was president. Jerry Lewis was an actor so Doc sarcastically referred to him as the Vice President since it would have been hard to believe in 1955 that actor became president.
always a blessing to see someone else discover this ^^
The reason why there were 2 Marty's in the new 1985 is because he was reborn from George and Lorraine. Once the new Marty had disappeared to 1955 again, the original Marty could take his place and no one was any the wiser. He sneaked out of his bedroom window to go to the mall car park and sneaked back into his bedroom through the window so according to the rest of his family, he was in bed all night
88 miles an hour!!!
Wait a minute Doc, are you actually telling me you built a time machine out of a Delorean?
The way I see it, if you're gonna turn a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
Greetings from New Orleans.. digging the reactions and commentary!
Great movie, good reaction. Yes we really did used to lug video cameras like that around with us. They look crazy now
