Original Movie: Back to the Future 2
I love that 1955 Doc came up with the concept of time travel and, the same day, a time traveler literally knocks on his door and the town is crawling with other time travelers.
It's great, and that's exactly what would happen too.
21:03 for sure lol
@@caseykod4406 Don't the other time travelers arrive a week later, on November 12, the day of the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance and the big storm? 🙂 But yeah, they're all over the place!
It's literally the paradox of the time travel, it had been postulated that the only possible way a person could be creating time traveling is when the same person or another one walks in the exact moment it is invented to greet them, otherwise it means that time travel hadn't been successfully developed, since of course, it wouldn't have been possible before that moment for any person to travel back in time and it has been depicted in media, through books, stories, novels, tv and cinema since science fiction has been around.
Basically if someone doesn't walk in through the door to congratulate you the moment you invented time travel there is no way that time travel has been created because, that's the paradox, before that moment in time that wouldn't be possible.
Also, another mind-blowing fact is that there are 4 Delorean time machines at one point in November 5 1955 in Hill Valley.
One is the one in which Marty traveled back at first when he gets stuck there, the other one is the one Biff uses to go back, another one is the one in which Marty and Doc travel from the alternate 1985, the last one and the one that paradoxically has been the longest time there is the one hidden by Doc. in the Delgado Mine back in 1885 and has been resting there for 70 years, unearthed a few days later.
*Michael J Fox* plays *4* characters...
*1985 Marty, 2015 Marty & both his Son & Daughter*
*3* of them at the kitchin table at once
MAAN!! Michael played daughter too?! Can you believe that I didn't notice this until you wrote this comment?!
And Tom Wilson did the voice of Biff's grandma, as well as playing 1985 Biff, 2015 Biff, 1955 Biff, Alternate 1985 Biff, and Griff. 6 characters. Or 7, if you count the photos of Buford.
He was also the Irish McFly from the 3rd movie so that makes 5 characters.
@@IwanHoffman "Mom, Mom is that you?" is what gives it away...because our time traveling Marty says that in every movie, when he wakes up after being hit on the head...
i thought the daughter looked like a man but i held it inside forcing myself to be cool and open minded , lol
You didn't include *Marty* playing the *Wild Gunman* arcade video game in the *Cafe 80's* but one of the kids trying to turn it on is *Elijah Wood*
She also doesn't realise that one of Biff's goons is Billy Zane who played Rose's fiance in Titanic.
Tom Wilson is indeed a great guy in real life. Ironically, HE was bullied in school, and he played one. In regards to the old age makeup, on a behind the scenes video, he was cutting up about it. This is what he said: "I look like a really old Mr. Clean like this, don't I? An old, bitter Mr. Clean. 'Look, I'm sick of cleanin' up floors!'" 😄
Super nice dude! I read that he hated working with Eric Stoltz before they replaced him with Michael J Fox, because Stoltz is a method actor and kept asking Wilson to hit him harder, which he wasn't comfortable with.
Fear not, the clip from the third film was shown, just as it is here, in the theaters at the end of the second. It's just a brief trailer. Remember, those of us who saw the films originally had to wait years between sequels (1985, 1989, 1990), and they were trying to maintain our interest.
Exactly. Part II was released November 22, 1989. It would be roughly 6 MONTHS back then before Part III was released - May 25, 1990. Zemeckis and Gale wanted everyone to know, "Hey, Part III is coming sooner than you think." A thing that The Matrix Franchise tried as well, and, sort of, The Lord Of The Rings trilogy (one year out for each one).
1 was George's story, 2 is Biffs story, 3 is Docs story. Marty is the catalyst the binds all three of them as the cause of the mayhem. Its a perfect series with a perfect ending. You are going to love BTTF 3, it's arguably the strongest entry in the series and my personal favorite.
Of note; the executive who calls old Marty "Chicken" and gets him fired is Flea, the bass player for The Red Hot Chilli Peppers 😯😯😯
AND "Bust a Move" by Young MC.
Fun fact: The creators of Back to the Future did not intend to make a sequel. The ending to the OG was only meant to be a "The heroes run off on another adventure" ending. The creators also said their biggest regret was putting Jenefer in the DeLorean.
I kinda feel like the first half is kinda weak. It's mostly just a for them to have to go back to the 50s which is a much stronger portion
@@OneArmedRetroGamer old boy the American 1 is one of my best films
@@KurtisHart-u4w Not sure what this has to do with anything but the American version of Oldboy is a total piece of shit compared to the OG Korean version.
@@legendaccount3247 I went to forest Bank o yes
@@KurtisHart-u4w A Tale of Two Sisters the South Korean 1 is a good film.
Everybody talks about flying cars, but I've always been more impressed with that Pepsi vending machine.
Right???
I always love to point out: in the score for this movie, the track for the scene where 1985 Doc is handing 1955 Doc the wrench is titled "Pair o' Docs".
Paradox.
That's just brilliant to me.
Who knew Michael Giacchino wasn't the only film composer who enjoys using puns for track names?
😲Oh my gosh. I was 11 when this movie came to theaters. I've grown up with it. I would never have noticed that.
I've always hoped that in Doctor Who they'd eventually have a scene where the Doctor says "I can't go back along my own timeline, imagine if I ran into my past self! That would be a pair o' docs". And then He'd say "That's actually where the word 'paradox' comes from, by the way" lol
@@RedCaio But, you know, there _have_ actually been a few occasions where the famous Doctor has crossed his own timeline.
oh niceee! I didn't know that ^^
They included the last part of the previous movie for proper continuity as Claudia Wells, the original actress for Jennifer, chose to step down to be with her ailing mother. So Elizabeth Shue, known these days from The Boys, took over.
And that rejuvination scene bit from Doc removing that skin layer was actually deliberate; makeup was applied to Christopher Lloyd in the last film for the 1985 scenes to of course make him look older, but took a lot of time to do. So they just made up an excuse to not make him look older and not waste time with the makeup by making up that scene.
But also a great gag, because he does look exactly the same. Especially on CRT sets.
@@TheGreener Not the same but not much different.
WHAT!? I love BTTF and The Boys and had no idea it was her! And her name is spelled Elisabeth actually.
@@TheGreener theres adefinitely a difference in close up shots. but yeh it bascially looks the same in 90% of shots lol
A lot of people don't think about the fact that this got widescreen flat TVs, multitasking, and video calls right. All the ridiculous stuff that didn't happen is all front and center, and we take stuff like video calls for granted now.
Plus dog walking drones.
I know, that always gets me! With how huge tube and even rear projection TVs were back then, that was some hella brilliant foresight on the part of the movie makers to predict flat screen TVs that hang on the wall like picture frames.
The remote card scanner was actually accurate, too, along with the INSTANT ramifications triggered by the scan. I was selling my artwork at conventions back in 2015 and I had a remote credit card swiper that plugged into my tablet's microphone jack to process credit payments. A lot of stores were still using knuckle busters for credit cards back in the '80s.
"Thumb fifty bucks, would ya?" wasn't that far off either since we have touch point credit card terminals and things like GPay and Apple Pay with a tap of our phones. Hardly anybody uses cash anymore.
The voice commands for everything were accurate as well. I can turn on and off all the lights in my house with my voice if I want, and my oven can be remotely controlled with my phone (which is hella convenient for preheating and notifying me when the timer is done!).
@@tremorsfan Camera drones too dude. When Griff is being arrested, there's drones with news station logos on filming the incident. They didn't exist in the 80s either.
@FrancisXLord There are probably a few other things. 80's nostalgia comes to mind. We don't have Cafe 80's, but 80's are now seen like the 50's were in the 80's.
@@MacGuffinExMachina I know. The weird thing is though, chronologically, it should be the 90s by now, shouldn't it?
I'd say 80s nostalgia actually started in the 90s - films like The Wedding Singer, for instance.
They did that 2015 on purpose, more as a satire than as a prediction because they knew they would be wrong anyway.
Fun real life trivia: the Chicago Cubs had an amazing season in 2015 and BttF2 was mentioned A LOT during their run on MLB playoffs, but they ended up failing to reach the World Series on that year. They won it in 2016. The joke is that the Cubs were the team with the longest run without winning the World Series, in 2015/16 it was a century-and-change dry spell.
Bob Gale is a St Louis Cardinals baseball fan, and that is a big reason they made that prediction.
Its funny, $300 in 1955 is worth around $3,520 today, no wonder Biff was furious 😂
After the second incident it would be $7,047.
Thomas F Wilson really nailed the role.
He used his experiences of being bullied in his younger years for his character.
Which makes me wonder. In the original film, Biff was docile and changed because George punched him. But in this movie, after the George punch, Biff still looked very much like he always did, just an angry bully and THEN he hit another manure truck. You'd think that added chain of events would have changed Biff again in the updated 1985. Like maybe he becomes a psychotic murderer or something, always on the hunt for "Calvin Klein". Perhaps he hunts down the actual Calvin Klein that makes the clothing line and kills him in the future? haha
@@RyoHazuki224 nah i think biff became docile only to george, but not in general. see how hes a bully as an old man in 2015 towards marty.
The voice of Roger Rabbit appears in this movie twice. The clock tower guy and the guy that Biff pays to get the manure out of his car is the voice of Roger. The tunnel where Doc rescues Marty is the same tunnel that was used in Roger Rabbit to go to Toon Town..
it's the same character 60 years apart, there's a deleted scene where he speaks to old Biff about fixing the car all them years ago
I didn't realize that was the same actor. Of course that means that he's the same character 60 years apart.
I always assumed the "bowl" on Griff's head was a permanent helmet which protects (and maybe operates or regulates) his bionic implants, kinda like Darth Vader.
I kinda wish it didn't have a chin-strap though, like if it looked more like it was integrated into his head like now its an actual part of his body, haha.
The director in an interview pranked millions of kids by saying the hover boards were real but too expensive to be sold on the toy market 😂
No i remember it, it was because they where to dangerous.
Trivia: In the hoverboard chase scene when the punks fly through the window, a slight miscalculation during the setup caused one of the stunt performers to slam into the concrete pillar to the left of the window instead of going thru the window. This caused her to fall outside onto the solid ground instead of inside where all the padding was setup to catch them safely. As a result she suffered multiple injuries. They kept the accident in the movie and if you watch the scene back you can see her hitting the pillar
One thing I never noticed before, but kind of hits hard.
You ever notice that young, popular Biff is angry all the time, and rich Biff seems miserable and bitter, but the Biff who just works on cars seems genuinely happy. Look how thrilled he is when George's book comes in and how excited he is over his matchbooks. He just seems like that timeline is HIS happy ending as well.
Oh goodness. You can watch the preview of BTTF3 if you want. It’s a teaser trailer. It’s what the director and creators wanted us to see. They showed it in theaters after BTTF2 ended.
My favorite scene from this movie is when Marty first uses the hoverboard and I thought that was the coolest thing to fly around!
Elizabeth Sue is also in The first Karate Kid. As Daniel's girlfriend.
Biff's goon with the 3D glasses did not outgrow them, he upgraded to 3D sunglasses.
The Cubs actually won the World Series in 2016
And on 10/21/15 they lost the NLCS to the Mets. Had they won, they would’ve been in the World Series for the first time in 107 years
They joked that the reason why it was 2016 instead of 2015 was, in the original timeline the 1994 strike never happened, ergo this reality had everything pushed back a year.
If I remember correctly, that was the same day (in 2015), that Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd appeared on Jimmy Kimmel rolling up on stage in the Time Machine
They were not trying to accurately predict what 2015 would look like. They filled 2015 with tropes about the future to make it fun and interesting.
Yeah, though for how long has everybody been predicting that "the future will have flying cars", I think like ever since the 1920's "Metropolis"
@@RyoHazuki224 And when you think about it, why would you want flying cars? Think about all the idiot drivers you deal with now and then put them in airplanes. Recipe for disaster. 😉
They didn’t actually think 2015 was gonna be that way. Robert Zemeckis knew they couldn’t get the future right so they just had fun with it, making it intentionally ridiculous.
On that note…Future things in this movie that actually happened: the rise of ubiquitous cameras; use of unmanned flying drones for newsgathering; widescreen flat-panel television sets mounted on walls with multiple channel viewing; video chat systems; hands-free video games; talking hologram billboards (which have gotten better it seems); wearable technology; tablet computers with fingerprint scanners; head-mounted displays; walking dogs with drones, and payment on personal portable devices. The Cubs did also win the World Series, but in 2016
One that I noticed recently. In Cafe 80s the menus were video screens... and now most restaurants are using screens for menus, and I think some were already doing that in 2015
20:02 What the hell is that?! 🫵
@@brandonbullington Again, an accurate prediction. It's only legal to smoke in casino's.
I think its funny that so much Star Trek TOS technology is here now, today, and actually better than they predicted within their future vision from the 1960s. The man that invented MP3 specifically cited Star Trek as his motivation when in one episode the computer plays music for an official welcome and Kirk explains that it is stored in the ships memory bank. Communicator to flip phone and even smaller devices that more resemble portable computers, etc. Quite often what looks insane in a future tech movie becomes reality.
@@echobucket That begs the question: did the filmmakers accurately predict the advance of technology, or was the advance of technology inspired by this movie and others like it?
What's funny is that from Marty's perspective the adventure of 1, 2 and 3 all happen within a 3-4 week time period while for Doc, it's his entire life-time.
Part II came out on my 17th birthday, and Part III came out on my last day of classes in high school. God, I'm so old.
You and me both.
@@engineer4854 Same
I was 14 when Pt II came out, so I am right behind you
I love all three of these movies, but the second is my favorite. One of the highlights was getting to see George knock out Biff again. That never gets old. And Alan Silvestri did another amazing job with the music.
Cut from the film were two illuminating moments: when Old Biff got back to 2015, he clutched his chest, fell behind the dumpster, and disappeared. In Alternate 1985, Lorraine at the top of the stairs overheard Biff's confession; when he awoke after Doc knocked him out with the DeLorean's door, Lorraine was standing over him, his own gun pointed at his chest. She avenged the love of her life, George McFly. When Old Biff returned to the future, he disappeared because he had been shot in the chest back in the Alternate 1985 he'd created, and had already been dead for 30 years!
Nike made the Air MAGS as a limited edition display shoe (1,500 pairs) in 2011 and 2016 (90 pairs). They were sold at auction to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
There are some still being sold on eBay if you have 18k - 200k.
The Props Store in LA have the last pair of screen used Air Mags.
Unfortunately, they are bolted to a chunk of wood, because the speed lacing was done via cables that ran into the soundstage floor.
They also have the Sports Almanac & Hoverboard amongst other props in their collection.
Not to mention they sent Mr. Fox the first pair.
Kids back in '89 were probably looking like this during the hoverboard chase sequence -->🤯🤯🤯🤯. 😂🤣😂🤣
When Marty's son says " I'm Walking Here !!! " . That's a a famous line from the movie" The Midnight Cowboy " with Dustin Hoffman.
I remember seeing Part 2 at the movies and being so excited seeing the preview for part 3 right after.
My favorite of the trilogy!
Those of us who grew up with the movie (the first one came out when I was 2, but I got to watch it on TV a lot over the next few years) really hoped that hoverboards and flying cars would be in the real 2015. When they didn't, "where's my flying car?" became a popular joke.
I finally found a reactor that cracks up when Biff says butthead. I've adopted so many Biff terms because of how much he made me laugh growing up.
My favourite thing about the 2015 predictions from this movie: Despite how advanced everything had gotten, fax machines were still thriving.
Tom Wilson played 7 characters in this: the voice of Biff's grandma, 1985 Biff, 2015 Biff, 1955 Biff, Alternate 1985 Biff, Griff in 2015, and "Mad Dog" Tannen in photos from circa 1885.
One of Biff's goons from 1955 and Alternate 1985 was the main bad guy of _Titanic._
Rick and Morty are 100% based on Doc and Marty.
Rick's UFO car is a parody of the Delorean, but Rick's portal gun replaces the actual time traveling.
Yeah, such an insult to have that crap copy it.
The most obvious example is the character of Morty and Marty (similar names) and Beth who is alcoholic (like Lorraine is in BTTF 1). Also there’s this one line in the show where a character calls them “fucking back to the future ripoffs”
Back To The Future Part II is probably my favourite of the trilogy, and possibly my favourite movie of all time.
3:22 Fun fact: That was written into the story because they didn't want to keep putting makeup on Christopher Lloyd to make him look older like they made him look as his 1985 self from the first movie.
It’s a common misconception that the filmmakers tried to predict what 2015 would be like. Robert Zemekis said he knew movies never accurately predict the future, so they just went for jokes and gags instead.
I love how in the 80s they nailed the 80s retro café.
My favorite was the Max Headroom style servers with Ronald Reagan.
14:15 you all say that every one of you!!!! - GIVE US HINTS LADIES!!! we are not mind readers I PROMISE YOU!!! we are simple!!!
I still haven't quite figured out a head-canon reason for why the pavement along the entire (covered) tunnel is uniformly wet. I know it rains that night, but... in the tunnel? All the way in the tunnel? (Yes, I know they most likely hosed it all down before shooting to make it look more "cinematic" or whatever, but what's the logic behind it in-universe?)
Perhaps an excuse one could make to explain this is to say that the street running through the tunnel is poorly fitted to handle flooding runoff. Some streets aren't that well-designed to carry off excess rainwater and thus can easily flood even if it doesn't rain that much. (This can occur in places that usually have a dry climate and infrequent rainfall. In such places, their infrastructure is ill-prepared to handle redirecting the flow of rainwater that collects in streets to carry it away somewhere, like dumping it into the sewer, carrying it off to some irrigated waterway, or carrying it off to a flooding zone).
So in that scene, perhaps that street running through the tunnel was one of those streets, and there was enough runoff from the rain that is made a little river of rainwater that ran through the tunnel, resulting in the street even under the tunnel still being wet by the time the characters go through it.
(Idk, maybe I'm looking too much into this). 😁
13:26 They way Marty’s boss shows up and Says MACFLY!!!!!! Aand everything he says to Marty in that scene and the way Marty says noooooo fired. 😂😂😂
1. It's not often sequels hold up to the original, but this does. Thank you 1980s.
2. IMVHO this one is the best of the trifecta. The next one is inventive but I'm not really into the story. That said, it is the perfect wrap.🤩🤩🤩
3. The stunt woman that flew into the glass window partially missed and injured her arm.
4. Yes, Michael J. Fox is playing Marty's daughter.
5. Sammy Hagar, "I can't drive 55"
6. Good thing Biff shoots like a Star Wars stormtrooper
7. The tunnel at the end is the same one they used for Tune Town in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
The guy talking about the clock tower actually is the actor who voices Roger Rabbit.
I loved this one the most as a kid just because of the future stuff and the flying DeLorean. However, as an adult that now knows more about filmmaking and writing, to think this one is the best is crazy lol. The first one is fantastic in that it's a time travel movie that essentially avoids ALL of the plot issues that tend to befall time travel stories. Many consider the first to be a "perfect" script. The second one though? Issues from jump. They (self admittedly) messed up by ever even putting Jennifer in the DeLorean, and then they make the most nonsensical decisions possible once they land in the future. Why knock Jennifer out? If she is knocked out, why not just LEAVE HER IN THE DELOREAN instead of leaving her outside? These are actions for the sake of the plot and make zero in-world sense. Another thing that makes no sense: Marty's sudden hangup with insults. He was a relatively cool headed character in the first but now suddenly he's got an anger problem? It was done to give the character an area to develop throughout the second two films but it's jarring to see him suddenly being a hot head out of nowhere. So yeah, it's a fun movie but best of the three? No way
Either you have ZERO experience firing handguns, or Zero with heavy, short barreled revolvers, other than maybe standing in perfect stance firing at a stationary target. Because ducking from a thrown object, then popping back up and moving forward and to the right while bent over and taking a snap shot at a moving, dodging target is difficult, not "stormtrooper aim". I think it is the first one.
@@jeffreysmith236 I failed trying to be funny. Sorry
@@williamjones6031 oh, sorry for the lecture then, my sense of humor went missing.
So, the Cubs didn't win the World Series in 2015. They won it a year later! And Miami got a baseball team, the Marlins, just a few years after this movie came out!
After the Cubs won the World Series in 2016, Michael J. Fox Tweeted an acknowledgement of the Back to the Future Part II reference. He said the movie was off by only a year: "Not bad!"
"Rick and Morty were based on....Marty, and Doc. Is that true?"
Well, when you say it like that, it isn't nearly as obvious. 😂 But yes -
RICK and MORTY
were absolutely based on
DOC and MARTY.
"It's not that complicated! I assure you!"
As a seasoned man, I beg to differ lol.
Just when we think we have the answers, you change the questions.
Or maybe you just have bad taste???
@@dabreal82 Uh huh. That's exactly what it is.
Never got to see all three films in cinemas when they first released as I was born in the mid 80s, but when we reached Oct 21st 2015 my local cinema played all three films back to back. Was great finally seeing it on the big screen 🙂
I've been watching this movie for more than 25 years and I've NEVER NOTICED FUTURE MARTY'S DOUBLE TIE, *WHAT THE HELL*
I love that you loved these movies so far. I know you'll love part 3 Vicky. Keep up the great work!
I find it funny how everyone says not to watch the spoilers in the trailer there. It was released that was in its original run so that’s how most of us saw it anyway!
Look up Max Headroom to understand the cafe screen waiters.
I watched BTTF 2 when I was a senior in HS, and for the 3rd one, had to wait until I finished Basic Training, to watch the 3rd, as 3 came out the next year.
As a series, these 3 movies come as close as possible to being perfect.
Glad you're enjoying them, as we enjoy watching you enjoy them for the first time.
You seem surprised that they had two of Marty onscreen at once with '80s technology. But the technology is actually much older; in the 1961 version of The Parent Trap, there are two of Hayley Mills onscreen often.
It's much older than that. Dates back to the early days of film aaand
it's a great trick
Its not that complicated? Yes... it is.
This is my favorite movie/trilogy of all time. Thank you for watching them! But I gotta' say, although I understand wanting to go in blind, I think the people who say not to watch the Part III preview at the end are fighting an unnecessary fight. Speaking as someone who saw all of these in the theater,... this preview is not something that the studio added later. We all saw it in the theater also, so you would just be creating a similar movie "going" experience.
Great reaction like always, this one is amazing this might be my favorite trilogy of all time so I love seeing how much you love it! I can't WAIT for you to see Part III. There are some fun facts about this one. This movie was filmed back-to-back with Part III. If you notice they replaced the actress who played Jennifer Parker, Claudia Wells in the original Back to the future, but had to pull out of appearing in Part II after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Elizabeth Shue was cast in the role instead and even re-shot the final scene of the first film, so it could be ‘replayed’ at the beginning of the second.
This was Elijah Wood in his very first film role, Wood’s role, as an awed child by the arcade cabinet playing that game with pistols, Crispin Glover who portrais Mcfly Sr in the first one did not apper on this one. According to Glover, he discovered that he was offered far less to reprise his role in any given sequel than Lea Thompson for a similarly sized role, Glover’s agents demanded a higher fee and script approval, and Bob Gale responded by offering even less money than before. As a result, Glover pulled out of the sequel as was replaced by Jeffrey Weissman in heavy prosthetics. This is partly why George McFly is almost always shot in the dark, from behind, or upside-down.
One of the more memorable gags about the future occurs when Marty is assailed by a holographic shark outside the cinema (or ‘Holomax’). The Jaws films, in spite of the critically panned Jaws 3-D and Jaws 4, are still going strong in the fictional 2015, marking the nineteenth entry in the franchise. Jaws 19 is directed by Max Spielberg, son of the legendary director. Max was born in June 1985, the ‘present’ era of the trilogy.
Actors playing themselves is nothing new - and it wasn’t new in 1989, either. However, this was mostly achieved with clever camerawork and body doubles. Back to the Future Part II broke the mould by using a VFX trick that allowed the same actor to feature twice in the same frame: the ‘Vista Glide.’ As usual, necessity is the mother of invention. Given the number of times characters interact with their past selves, or alternate future selves, or narrowly avoid continuum-obliterating paradoxes, exactly this technique was needed.
There are a genuine stunt injury in this film in the hoverboard chase. Due to a technical difficulty with the wires suspending the actors, Cheryl Wheeler-Duncan - the stunt double for Darlene Vogel’s Spike veers off-course and slams into the concrete pillar next to the glass. Ouch! She then falls 30 feet on to the concrete below. Evidently Zemeckis saw a silver lining in this on-set mishap, as that take is the one we see in the film. Keep up the good work.
Well the scene wasn't shown here, but in the Cafe 80s there's a part where Marty plays that arcade game called "Wild Gunman" and there's 2 kids there, one of the kids is played by Elijah Wood. Also Marty's co-worker Needles (the guy who calls Marty a chicken and ends up getting Marty fired) is played by Flea (Michael Balzary) the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The double ties? Wha... Okay, I saw this in the theater back in the day, plus I don't know how many times since then on VHS, DVD, Bluray... I've never seen that before! 😮
Back before "spoilers" were really a thing, we watched this in the theater, and when the trailer for part 3 came on...the place went nuts cheering.
I was there, first showing, and I remember that!
So fun fact: the 2015 portion of the movie is _not_ a prediction. In the interview they did about this movie, the creators say that they hated whenever someone tries to predict what the future will look like in movies, because they are always wrong. So when it came time to make up what the future would look like for this movie, they decided to just have a laugh with it all. That's why all of the things in the future are so outlandish and over the top. It's not supposed to be a serious prediction.
"He has the Heihachi haircut...."
Oh my God!!!
I'm in love with this girl for that reference.
BttF imo is the Perfect trilogy. Even today it's such a great franchise to do a movie night with friends and family.
Fun fact: they were of by year with the Cubs. They actually won the series in 2016.
About the interesting tidbits you mentioned at 24:09. In part one, when Doc & Marty are talking before Marty leaves to the school dance, someone goes by in a bike in the background. Many theorize that the guy is Doc (from part 2) heading to Biff's garage to let Marty out. However, it was unintentional since sequels were never originally planned.
Back to the Future 2 and 3 were filmed back to back, which is how they were able to have the trailer for the next one at the end of the second one. I think this is the first time this had been done (other than the fake trailer at the end of Mel Brooks' History of the World Part One).
I once had this trilogy on DVD. Those DVDs had extras, including the option to view deleted scenes. One of the deleted scenes for part 2 showed just what happened to 2015 Biff after the DeLorean, carrying all our heroes, vanished back into the past. He cried out, lay down on the ground, and vanished, in the same fashion that Marty was vanishing, up on stage, in the end of part 1.
They cut this scene because it kept confusing test audiences, but in addition to the option to view it, I also had the option to view it with commentary, and in the commentary, they explained that the thug that Biff turned into when he got the sports almanac, who had a fondness for pushing Lorraine, got to a point, somewhere between 1985 and 2015 when he pushed her too far and she shot him. So in alternate 2015, Biff no longer existed.
The movie ends with a trailer for Back to the Future part III. That's how you're supposed to watch it. It don't spoil nothing. That's how we seen it in theaters in the Holiday season of 1989.
I don't remember if I said it in the first video but this is one of the best movie trilogies ever made. It all weaves together so well and not one of the films is bad.
To splice scenes together with the same actor, they had a computerized camera that would replay its moves exactly. That gave them samples of film that could be combined without any apparent movements in the effect.
It wasn't hard for them to recreate the 80s, since BTTF 2 was filmed for release in 1989.
At 21:00, VKunia, the term you were looking for was "monologuing", it's when a villain reveals their intentions, Syndrome even mentioned it to Bob in THE INCREDIBLES".
Syndrome: *giggles* You sly dog, you got me monologuing.
It was during the filming of this movie that Michael J. Fox began experiencing serious symptoms of early onset Parkinson's. 26:57 reminded me of this fact, because he said in his book, "Lucky Man," that even pretending to play the guitar wasn't easy with his fingers stiffening up. 😢
When they made 2015, they didn't even try to predict the future. They knew they couldn't do it, so they just made it silly and had fun with it
Marty's character has a weird verbal superpower/superweakness combo. Every time someone calls him chicken, he automatically falls for it but on the other hand, every time he goes "what's THAT?", everybody else falls for it.
The prediction of the Cubs winning the World Series in 2015 was very nearly spot on. They made it all the way to the League Championship Series, the one that would determine their league’s contender for the World Series that year, before losing. They ended up winning the World Series just one year later in 2016.
The USA Today paper that Doc is holding has an articles that mentions “Queen Diana” of England. Unfortunately, that didn’t age well…
i am glad they haven’t made any unnecessary prequel or another sequel or spin off or remake of back to the future. it is prefect the way it is.
The Back to the Future Trilogy is my favorite movie. Can't wait for Part III!
I am becoming such a big fan of this channel. Loved the reaction and I can't wait to see how you like the next back to the future movie!
Mind you, that 2015 in this movie kinda makes sense as Marty already altered the timeline in the first movie. Ripple effect, you know?
So it's not our 2015, it's the 2015 of the timeline Marty created.
Doc always comes in clutch because he's in a time machine. If he screwed up, he could just go back a minute and do it again.
The first Back to the Future was the highest grossing movie of 1985. The second one came out to mixed reviews in 1989, one of the biggest years ever for movies (Batman, Ghostbusters 2, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, a BUNCH of others all came out that summer), so BTTF 2 was i think the 10th(?) highest grossing movie. Then Part 3 came out in May of 1990. Better reviews than Part 2, but made even less money. It took several years for people to really appreciate the trilogy as a whole.
part 2 and 3 were filmed back-to-back,
which is why part 2 came out in 1989, and part 3 in 1990.
The device Doc uses to put Jennifer to sleep is the exact same device Rick uses in “Rick and Morty” to wipe people minds - “Morty’s Mind Blowers” among others…
I love the Back To The Future trilogy and BTTF 2 is my favorite movie of the three. That being said, I love how this movie explains how this movie would never work. If Biff went back to the past and changed the past, he could NEVER have returned to the future he came from in 2015. Everything would have been changed, as Doc explained. But to move the movie forward, Biff is able to return to the unchanged future lol
I've always assumed it takes time for the change to make its way 'up' the timeline from the past, in a sense. That's why Marty didn't vanish immediately in the first movie, and that gave them enough time to leave 2015 before the change that started in 1955 hit 1985 and removed them.
@@Scyth0r I think with the first movie, since the change occured in 1955, where Marty was currently at, as time moved forward in 1955, it moved towards the future Marty accidently created, but because that future wasn't set yet, as it hadn't occured yet in 1955, is why Marty didn't disappear immediately. But because Biff made a change in 1955, the timeline from 1955 moved forwards to the new future and Marty, Doc, and Jennifer should have disappeared instantly.
9:16 In 2015 there was a special news paper release that is that EXACT PAPER. I have SEVERAL copies because I was helping my brother deliver for the Dallas Morning News at the time and that was one of the papers.
better call saul please !
I watched this in theaters on my 8th birthday party. Core memory.
The shoes were developed because of this movie, as the future date neared.
Hover boards can't work the way they explain, since they make them based on magnetism. They wouldn't get enough push from the Earth, and even if they could, they would likely twist to align with the magnetic fields of the Earth. Also, each time you are over a sidewalk, the rebar in the sidewalk would lead to the hoverboard sticking to the ground. The same would happen if you used one anywhere near a railroad track, buried cables, etc.
The World Series prediction was remarkably close, missing by a year for the winning team.
The perfect trilogy. The third is also a masterpiece.
I'm glad more people are coming around to loving Part 3. For a good while there were people complaining about the Western aspect since the genre had begun to die out by the production release. Part 3 is masterpiece. Really brings everything to a satisfying conclusion and, really, even more impressive considering there was never a plan for sequels until the first one did so fantastic.
My dad saw Back to the Future II in the cinema when he was at Barksdale Air Force Base in 1989. He saw Back to the Future III in the same theatre in 1990.
"I wish I was a toaster" same here, but only in the film The Brave Little Toaster (1987), you should watch it sometime, really cool adventure film that you'll like Val. Max Headroom is awesome, great 80's icon. Always reminds me of Matt Frewer, who was in Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, The Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War and Stephen King's The Stand. Michael J. Fox shone in this trilogy. One of the best trilogies in movie history in my opinion, the creativity and imagination of what the future may hold according to the times of the 80's. Btw, I watched this movie on its day October 21, 2015 with my ex. Quite crazy! Nice reaction.
I'd love to know if you've noticed that Marty's daughter, Marlene, was also played by Michael J. Fox 😁 because I sure didn't the first time I watched this movie!
Actually the goon didn't outgrow his 3D glasses. He wears glasses with two different color lenses. Blue on the right and red on the left. You can see them a lot better when they start chasing Marty after getting out of the elevator.
He's also the actor who played Charlie in Young Guns
A suggestion of a series that you might like is based off the life of Queen Elizabeth II and it’s entitled The Crown. it encompasses most of her life and was produced while she was still living. Some amazing insight into her and her sister and other going on in the royal family.
Back to the future 2 is definitely my favorite one of the three
You're gonna love part 3. One of the strongest film trilogies you will ever see. Have a box of tissues in stand by.
