Michael J Fox was busier than you can imagine. Not only was he doing movies, h was filming the popular sitcom, Family Ties, on top of everything else..
I think he was also working on Teen Wolf. I remember a biography where he was talking about how he would only get maybe a couple of hours of sleep. I'd be dead.
The scene where Doc calls Marty and wakes him up at 12:28 am, Fox was really sleeping. He had just come from the set of Family Ties and hadn't slept in 2 days.
@@Billinois78 Teen Wolf is a very underrated movie that doesn't get talked about enough. It's so enjoyable. It was overshadowed by Back to the Future.
"Does he have suspenders on?" Yes, they were an iconic feature during the preppy trend of the 80's! I also wore vests and ties as a teen in that decade, along with oxfords or loafers.
"How's he a slacker? He does everybody's work." He might not have time to do his own work because of it. That's why Strickland calls him a slacker: he slacks off on his own work to do Biff's. I only just realised that because of your comment. And I've seen this movie a million times.
Never apologize for pausing to discuss the movie. You picked up on so much that a lot of people miss watching it for the first time. So glad you enjoyed this!
theyve had area codes for a long time but you used to only need to use them when calling long distance and people didnt typically call long distance because of the cost
Yeah, they’ve been around for ~75 years. I remember when they started adding a gazillion area codes when I was a kid in the 90s. The town I grew up in got split between two area codes, so suddenly I had to remember which of my friends had what area code just to call them to find out what the day’s homework was, because my doofus ADHD brain would always forget to write it down lol. I guess it was easier for me to just keep track of the area codes. 😆
I remember as a kid not getting the bit about Biff asking who’s going pay for his dry cleaning because he spilled beer on himself in the accident. That whole scene is perfection. With the dismount of say hello to your mom for me.
That garage was Doc's garage from the original property. When he sold off the rest of it after the house was destroyed, it became Burger King and all those other stores, shopping centers, and restaurants. The good who told Marty he was too darn loud was Huey Lewis, of the band that sang the main theme song, "Power of Love." Every phone number in North America had an area code starting in 1947, but the proliferation first of fax numbers then cell phones didn't make shrinking area codes in order to duplicate numbers necessary until the '90s and after. When I was little, for a local number in town, you only had to dial the last 4 digits of the number to be connected. Eventually, you had to dial the last 7 digits of your phone number, and finally, all 10, sometimes with a 1 first. Suicide doors open backward. Those lift up, so they're gullwing doors. First, every lane of every gas station was like that, then only the Full Service lane not Self-Serve, then there only was Self-Serve. Pay phones in 1955 took nickels, which Marty used. By the '70s, they took dimes. By the time the movie came out, quarters. In the Back to the Future movies, Billy Zane had his own hair. By Titanic, it was a wig. An average person in California wouldn't have paid any attention to who was a senator in Massachusetts in 1955. You don't know Jackie Gleason??? You have to see some episodes of "Jackie Gleason: The Honeymooners, with the stars Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph!" It's a CLASSIC from the DuMont Television Network. You can also react to Gleason here watching the hit movie Smokey and the Bandit (1977), also starring Burt Reynolds and Sally Field. He also starred with Paul Newman in the drama The Hustler (1961), which was followed by a sequel, The Color of Money (1986) starring Newman and Tom Cruise. He also starred in The Toy (1982) with Richard Pryor, and Nothing in Common (1986) with Tom Hanks. When Marty arrived, the theater had an ad outside for Cattle Queen of Montana, starring Ronald Reagan & Barbara Stanwyck. Both later moved to TV; Stanwyck starred on The Big Valley, Reagan hosted General Electric Theater then Death Valley Days, before being elected governor of California after years being president of the Screen Actors Guild. Jerry Lewis was part of the comedy duo Martin & Lewis for years before striking out on his own making his own comedies, starring in 60 movies, including The Nutty Professor (1963). He also hosted The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon from 1966 to 2010, which raised nearly $2.5 billion for muscular dystrophy research. You were thinking of Jerry Lee Lewis & Joe Louis. Superman used to say "Great Scott!" on the radio series throughout the '40s and again in the '60s when the same voice actor recreated the role for a TV series of animated cartoons. When Marty punches Biff in the diner, for a split second they used a shot of the original Marty McFly actor from the first 6 weeks of shooting, Eric Stoltz. Go back to that scene and slow it down and you might be able to tell when it's not Michael J. Fox. The script for this movie is taught in film schools as an example of fantastic, maybe even perfect, screenwriting. The entire American side of the Niagara Power project only generates about 2.5 gigawatts of electricity, at the most! Did you notice Twin Pines Mall at the beginning was Lone Pine Mall at the end, because Marty had run over one of them? This movie ended with no thought of ever making a sequel. They just wanted to end with one last joke.
80's and 90's were the best decades ever. Best movies and music. I live by childhood in the 80's (born in 1978) and my teenage years in the 90's, so I'm a lucky girl. And I watched these movies when I was a child. So weird that you are only watching this NOW!!
To me, the sign of a great movie is one that you can watch over and over and over again and still enjoy it. This is definitely one of those movies. I've literally seen it a hundred times and still love it just as much. That being said, I'm reminded of something that Roger Ebert the film critic once said about it: "I wish I could forget that I ever saw this movie so I could enjoy seeing it for the first time all over again." So true!
Oh yeah, Fox was massively busy in 1985, working on BTTF, Teen Wolf AND his role of Alex P Keaton on Family Ties. Rumor is he was sleeping in his car in between all shoots.
I'm a screenwriter and actor. Trust me. People come up with these ideas. They just don't get made. There are no big, crowd-pleasing movies green-lit anymore that aren't an already established intellectual property. If it isn't a comic book, a reboot or a sequel, the studios are not interested, period. I had a meeting at the studio that made Back to the Future (Amblin) and when I talked about how amazing BTTF is and said they should do more movies like this the executive said "yeeeeeaaaaah, but you have to ask yourself, what would make that kind of movie relevant to today's teens? You'd need something to really make it edgy". In other words, executives don't understand movies, they don't understand what people want, and they absolutely will not make what people want. Bottom line: they're not fans. They're MBAs who spend their lives worrying about losing their jobs or being blamed for a flop.
If you ever watch the movie again, you'll notice lots of little hidden Easter eggs - like the "Twin Pines Mall" becoming the "Lone Pine Mall" at the end of the movie (because Marty hit one of the pines with the DeLorean), the guy who says Marty's playing is "too darn loud" is the musician Huey Lewis (who performs many of the songs in the movie with his band "The News"), the porn theater in 1985 is playing the film "Orgy American Style" which stars George Flower - who plays the "bum" on the park bench -- plus about a hundred more scattered around. There are even more in the sequels.
I watched that movie at least 100 times before some TH-cam video pointed out that Twin Pines Mall name change to me 8-D the movie is just TOO good, every time of those 100 times i was just captured by how good every single scene is. That's why i am a Back To The Future reaction tourist :D
One of those easter eggs is when Marty is struggling to open the bottle of Pepsi. He's trying to twist off the cap, but, twist off caps hadn't been invented yet. His father grabs the bottle of Pepsi, and uses the built-in can opener on the vending machine to remove the cap and then hands it back to Marty.
@@BensSisterLightOfTheDay in the second movie, Marty recognizes Red when he runs into him in the alternate present. Red seems put off by hearing Marty saying his name. It was a subtle moment but a nod to the character.
1999 was when area codes became mandatory,they existed before that but only if you were calling from outside the area you were calling. Then one day it went from 7 to 10,I remember the day vividly. “555” was just a number they used in movies. That was great when you went off on Biff right away
Perhaps best written Trilogy there is. You can watch this trilogy repeatedly and laways fun new thing. Tom Wilson does amazing roles as Biff thru ought the series.
My husband and I went to Universal Studios here in Cali. My husband was chosen to do the Towne Clock Scene with doc and it was so cool. He looked as if he was there. This was July 1997. It was our honeymoon. Great movie to show. Great memories
I got chosen for that, too! I have a VHS tape in my family's den somewhere of me on that clocktower. I was such a fan, I knew all the lines and facial expressions. "Great Scott!!"
There were pencils in 1955, but nobody would ever use one for a letter. Pencils were for figuring or shopping lists, anything that wasn't permanent. Letters were intended to last, so they were written with ink, and since there were no ballpoint pens then, people wrote with ink pens, which is what Marty was using when he writes his letter. (The next step up was fountain pens, which contained cartridges full of ink that you just changed out instead of needing a bottle. From there, a semi-dry ink was invented and the ballpoint to go with it, which is the most common kind today.)
So, a note on Doc learning about his invention early. I have a theory...that when Doc Brown learned that an invention in his head becomes reality, it changes his future. When Marty originally talks to the Doc in the twin pines parking lot, he mentions that he'll be able to know who wins the next few world series. This, coupled with the article at the very beginning of the movie that talked about the Brown Mansion being burned down as well as stealing from the lybians, leads us to realize he's probably not in n the best place financially. (Also, the Doc literally says he spent his entire family fortune on making the time machine)However, once he sees with his own eyes his flux capacitor, he realizes that this invention will work. This instills a new sense of direction in his life, leading him to make smarter choices in life, financially. In turn, Doc is no longer obsessed with money. We see this when Marty buys the almanac in the next movie and when Doc finds it, he deeply disapproves.
Grew up in the 80s, teen in the 90s No evidence either aside from physical pictures which can be destroyed It’s the same for me today Zero social media, I don’t take pictures or videos Keeping life as simple as possible
The 60s/70's was the 'Golden Age' for popular music. Real musicians playing real instruments & actually singing, live, without, auto tune or studio manipulation. Much of it holds up to modern performances to this day. & The music is over 50 years old.
We had area codes back in the day. We just didn’t need to dial them if you were calling locally (from & to the same area code). You only dialed the area code first for long distance calls.
Yes, Jerry Lee Lewis was the musician who married his cousin. "Great Balls of Fire." The Jerry Lewis he's referring to here was an actor/comedian. He was a part of the Rat Pack. Basically rolled with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.
Fun fact.. the dude who told Marty’s band they were too loud at the battle of the bands audition is Huey Lewis.. he sings the ‘theme’ song ‘Power Of Love’ & it’s the same song Marty & the band tried to audition w..
You: “I wish somebody would put air in my tires and change my oil. Well, we do, it’s called Valvoline” Me: We are each others spirit animals. 🥰 I always go to Valvoline and tell others about it. It’s the best drive-thru oil change place. 🤗 Never thought I would ever hear anyone else mention it. Thank you for that.
That scene where you yell at George for whispering, in that scene, he did a bunch of takes trying to get his voice to the right pitch, just between nerd and handsome newcomer. He did this so many times that he temporarily damaged his voice. The solution, he dubbed his lines for the scene, while, when he did the scene, he was just mouthing the words.
They did have pencils in 1955, but ballpoint pens were just starting to gain popularity - so it's likely that many people would still be using fountain pens and ink.
Area codes have been around for a while... but back in the land line days, you didn't need to punch in the area code if they lived in the same area code as you. So if you are (818), you wouldn't need to dial the area code for any other (818) area codes, but if you call any other area code, you had to dial "1" first, then the area code, then the 7 digit number.
Fun fact: Michael J Fox was filming his sitcom, Family Ties, at the same time as this movie. He did Family Ties during the day and then went right to the other studio to film this at night.
1. The cranky principal Mr. 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, Power of love. etc. 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, if you haven't already, where Christopher Lloyd plays the heavy, you must do "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
Interesting thing about 555 numbers; you will almost always see a phone number in television shows or movies start with 555 because most 555 numbers aren't working numbers. They stopped using legitimate phone numbers a while ago in film because real people and businesses were being harassed.
I think that they even stopped using 555 numbers because it started to become a joke. For example, in Last Action Hero (1993), the kid points out to Arnie's character that all of the phone numbers are 555 numbers, thus proving that they're in a movie. I'm not sure that I've seen a movie or show use a 555 number since. Instead, I've seen numbers that look more legitimate that I assume are either also set aside as non-working or maybe owned by the studios and just go nowhere or to an automated message (like "thanks for watching our movie" or something).
I still say the parent's, specifically George, purchased the truck for Marty as a "thank you" for helping him with his life since he remembers. A little hint is that George says the same quote to Marty while giving his book to him "if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!"
If its 30 years between 198 and 1955 and Marty is 16, that means it was 14 years between the Enchantment Dance and Marty's birth.....for a total of about 2 years until Marty's face started to look like Calvin's face. That's a stretch. So...that's about 24 years between seeing Calvn in 1955 and Marty's FACE in 1985 (assuming marty didnt look like he was 16 years old when he was 4 years old, or 6, or 10, or 11) I went to my 25 year high school reunion and I couldnt remember my Prom date, despite the fact that she hardly changed. I just couldnt remember her face, despite the fact that I was crazy about her and we dated for 2 months.
I think that they just purchased the truck for him when he turned 16 because they could afford it, as most parents who can afford it do. As for the line about putting your mind to it, I think that that was to show us that Marty is responsible for motivating his dad and turning the family's fortunes around.
The parents aren't aware it was their son who helped them. The director made the family wealthier at the end and wanted to reward Marty with the truck he wanted.
Hell yeah, I just found your channel. This is my favorite movie of all time and you did it the honor it deserves with that reaction! Good job dude picking up on these clues. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Since you in the 80s please review Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swazie. I think you will like it. If people in comments says not to don't listen at them! 🤣
Jackie Gleason, the comedian Marty’s grandparents loved, was arguably the first big television star with his sitcom “The Honeymooners”. That show would later become the blueprint for the Flintstones cartoon. Check out the Richard Donner film “The Toy” which pairs Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason together!
Tom Holland based his portrayal of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man movies on Marty McFly. That's why they seem so similar. It was intentional. Area codes were around LONG before the 2000's. They are nothing new, and they are not a recent invention. Before the days of unlimited cell phone plans, calling outside your area code was more expensive than local phone calls, so people often avoided it when they could. If you made a local call within your area code, it wasn't even necessary to dial the area code. That's why the use of area codes might seem like a new thing. And now with cell phones and smartphones, there are more area codes than before. Just because people didn't use something often or just because there wasn't previously as many of something, that doesn't mean that it's new.
One of the best movies in history and I believe used in film classes as an example of excellent storytelling. It's bittersweet to watch tho as knowing Michael j fox condition, as he suffers from advanced parkinsons so had to retire. However he's raised a billion dollars for research on disease. Him having been such a fit and physical actor it's sad watching him struggle to even walk now.
For the longest time a pay phone call was 10 cents which is where rhe term "drop a dime" came from. Jackie Gleason was a pioneer in early live TV, a comic legend. A later standout performance was his role in "Smoky and the Bandit." Jerry Lee Lewis was the rocker. Win one for the Gipper is a line from a Reagan movie. The ballpoint pen was invented in 1888, patrnted around 1943, but didnt hit broad commercial markets til 1954. The original Batman on TV said Great Scott.
Yup fun days...I was introduced to looney tunes back in the 80s I was a kid back then. But cell phones came out in the 98 and every teens becomes cheesy then 2000s era hits everybody tries to live in social media virtual life.
I can't believe you recognized Billy Zane (the guy from Titanic). I.didn't know that was him until recently and I've been watching this movie for over 20 years. And even then, I couldn't figure out who he was until you spotted him straight out.
Love this reaction! One other Easter egg that took me many years to get is that 1985 Doc lives in the garage of the estate of 1955 Doc. This is because - as the newspaper clipping in the opening says - his house burned down, presumably due to an accident during one of his experiments.
It's Old Man Peabody growing pine trees. His son is credited as Sherman Peabody in the closing credits. The names pay homage to the late '50s/early '60s cartoon segment Peabody's Improbable History. It featured a talking genius inventor dog Mr. Peabody and his adopted human son Sherman who use the W.A.B.A.C. (way back, get it?) machine to travel back (and forth) in time. Sound familiar?
You're only the second reactor who got the "Make like a tree, and get out of here" joke. Out of several-dozen times watching this with reactors, only one before you got it. Kudos! :)
By my second grade, in 1958, we were required to use fountain pens for essays or reports. Ink cartridges had replaced ink wells for the ink, but fountain pens with a bulb that you squeezed (like an eye dropper) were still being sold. Pencils have been around for a couple of hundred years, but they were only allowed for math assignments. Ball point pens were still pretty crude and globs of ink would collect on the tips and eventually end up as smudges on the paper. The movie was spot on almost everything.
Joe Louis was a boxer, Joe Lewis was a kickboxer, Jerry Lewis was an actor, and Jerry Lee Lewis was a singer who married his cousin. It's easy to get them muddled up.
It's interesting watching this movie reaction today -- hadn't really thought about this: That JVC camcorder "worked" for Marty to hook up to Doc's TV, because in 1985, the TV connectors/technology wasn't really that different yet [30 years difference], but, today, say... he'd have recorded that whole video on an iPhone, and good luck trying to hook that up to a 1950's TV. (granted, i spose they'd just watch it on the iPhone) ... maybe nevermind this. :) Mostly saying that our tech change from 1985 to now has broken the idea of hooking up the "modern thing" with the "old thing"
At 25:55... Doc's experiment is actually working.... Marty come from a a great distance (30 years) ; Saturday Evening Post (newspapers in the garbage Marty grabs to read) ; Donation (lady asking to fix the clock tower in 1985) ; Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary (Marty's Grandma asks him why he is he wearing a life preserver, Marty responds with coast guard)
21:04 I never noticed Billy Zane (Caledon Hockley) from Titanic before! I'm sure others knew, but very good catch! According to wiki and IMDB, this was his first acting role!
This movie was everything as a kid.....still had hope for the future until 2012....and then the real 2015...ugh...lol more when we reach Pt. 2....this film...forever a classic.
well done... I must have watched a dozen reactions to this movie over the last couple years and you are the only one ever that got the 'make like a tree' joke. Thanks for sharing.
Michael J. Fox was also filming the comedy sitcom "Family Ties" at the time he filmed this movie. He would be on set for the sitcom in the days and at nights and weekends he filmed "Back to the Future".
great reaction dude! wanted to answer your question (while i remember), the writing utensils in the 50’s were fountain pens that required liquid indian ink in little bottles to operate. quills were still occasionally being used too. maybe not in public schools, but i know in catholic schools where there were still some wooden desks, they had a little hole usually in the upper right hand corner where you’d drop the ink bottle to fill the pen with. if you can imagine cm, it was probably messy and certainly inconvenient, but they made it work.
OH SH*T!!!!! I went to school in the 80s. We had a mostly wooden desks, but a few newer desks (possibly composite). The wood desks has a round depression in the upper right corner and you absolutely just helped me figure out what it was for!!!! OMG!! I owe you a tea
I love watching all these first time reactions. Not a single one I've seen has noticed the guy speaking in the megaphone "You're just too loud" is Huey Lewis who sang "The Power of Love". Perfect cameo that probably had more of a reaction back then.
Often used as a shining example of a "perfect script" in screenwriter/film class, 'Back to the Future' is EASILY of the most cleverly written (and BEST!) movies EVER made! I swear to God, I wore out two VHS copies of this movie when I was a kid in the 90's! Part II is quite a bit more dense, but still a very good movie with countless moments guaranteed to make you go "OH SHIT!!" in the best way possible! 🥰
Michael J Fox was also the star of a sitcom called Family Ties at the same time, he was filming the sitcom, Back To The Future, Teen Wolf, Poison Ivy, and a Family Ties movie all in 1985.
Area codes have always been a thing, but you didn't need to use an area code if you rang someone in your area from a landline, and you would need to use an area code on a mobile phone no matter if you was in the area or not
This was the BEST reaction to BTTF on TH-cam... really great. Funny too! When Marty asked what kids do in the 50s & you said Greased Lightning - a real laugh out loud moment 🤣 Ghost (1990) & Poltergeist (1982) are HIGHLY recommended...
Funny thing is at the Battle of the bands the guy who told him you're just too damn loud over the megaphone is Huey Lewis... The person who sings the song in the opening credits and that they were playing to the judges. Lol
Fun fact...at one point, oreillys had a product page for a Flux capacitor...it was always out of stock of course, but it was a fun little homage to this.
7:20 - :)))) area codes existed since 1947 in US! The 555 numbers is what Hollywood used as their own "area code" so people won't call characters from the movies.
When Marty arrives at Doc's house, he takes a long look at the garage. It's the same garage that we see in 1985 at the start of the film (Doc's house burnt down sometime between 1955-1985, maybe as an insurance scam).
If you want to see a really fun Michael J. Fox movie, you might want to check out Greedy. It is a fairly unheard of movie with an great ensemble cast. (Kirk Douglass, Olivia D'Abo, Phil Hartman, Ed Begley Jr., Nancy Travis, Jere Burns, Colleen Camp, Siobhan Fallon, and Mary Ellen Trainor).
The teacher who told Marty that he was just too darn loud was actually Huey Lewis, the singer of the music in the film. Pretty good.
Glad someone made this comment

Yeah he thought his performance tanked the movie, but he killed it!
Yeah, and that's probably why he got Parkinson desease, because of absolutely crazy pace of work, plus a lot of alkohol at the same time.
The scene where Doc calls Marty and wakes him up at 12:28 am, Fox was really sleeping. He had just come from the set of Family Ties and hadn't slept in 2 days.
@@Billinois78 Teen Wolf is a very underrated movie that doesn't get talked about enough. It's so enjoyable. It was overshadowed by Back to the Future.

Yes. I wish more reactors would pause and discuss instead of talking over the movies and missing things

In the Back to the Future movies, Billy Zane had his own hair. By Titanic, it was a wig.

80's and 90's were the best decades ever. Best movies and music. I live by childhood in the 80's (born in 1978) and my teenage years in the 90's, so I'm a lucky girl. And I watched these movies when I was a child. So weird that you are only watching this NOW!!
The song Marty's band is playing is from Huey Lewis And The News. The judge who says Marty's band is too loud, is actually Huey Lewis himself.
To me, the sign of a great movie is one that you can watch over and over and over again and still enjoy it. This is definitely one of those movies. I've literally seen it a hundred times and still love it just as much. That being said, I'm reminded of something that Roger Ebert the film critic once said about it: "I wish I could forget that I ever saw this movie so I could enjoy seeing it for the first time all over again." So true!
Oh yeah, Fox was massively busy in 1985, working on BTTF, Teen Wolf AND his role of Alex P Keaton on Family Ties. Rumor is he was sleeping in his car in between all shoots.
Back to the Future has been called "the perfect movie" before so it's pretty much universally loved by all. Glad you appreciate it!
You are the first reactor I’ve seen that recognized Billy Zane. Great catch.
It's a shame they don't come up with new movie ideas like this anymore.
Agreed but there are plenty of time travel movies
Everything is so safe and soulless now.
They could make Marty black.
I'm a screenwriter and actor. Trust me. People come up with these ideas. They just don't get made. There are no big, crowd-pleasing movies green-lit anymore that aren't an already established intellectual property. If it isn't a comic book, a reboot or a sequel, the studios are not interested, period.
I had a meeting at the studio that made Back to the Future (Amblin) and when I talked about how amazing BTTF is and said they should do more movies like this the executive said "yeeeeeaaaaah, but you have to ask yourself, what would make that kind of movie relevant to today's teens? You'd need something to really make it edgy". In other words, executives don't understand movies, they don't understand what people want, and they absolutely will not make what people want. Bottom line: they're not fans. They're MBAs who spend their lives worrying about losing their jobs or being blamed for a flop.
Do you have an idea for a movie?
If you ever watch the movie again, you'll notice lots of little hidden Easter eggs - like the "Twin Pines Mall" becoming the "Lone Pine Mall" at the end of the movie (because Marty hit one of the pines with the DeLorean), the guy who says Marty's playing is "too darn loud" is the musician Huey Lewis (who performs many of the songs in the movie with his band "The News"), the porn theater in 1985 is playing the film "Orgy American Style" which stars George Flower - who plays the "bum" on the park bench -- plus about a hundred more scattered around. There are even more in the sequels.
Also the bum on the bench was former mayor Red Thomas!!!
I watched that movie at least 100 times before some TH-cam video pointed out that Twin Pines Mall name change to me 8-D the movie is just TOO good, every time of those 100 times i was just captured by how good every single scene is. That's why i am a Back To The Future reaction tourist :D
@@BensSisterLightOfTheDayholy crap!!! I've been watching this movie for decades and never realized that!! 😮
One of those easter eggs is when Marty is struggling to open the bottle of Pepsi. He's trying to twist off the cap, but, twist off caps hadn't been invented yet. His father grabs the bottle of Pepsi, and uses the built-in can opener on the vending machine to remove the cap and then hands it back to Marty.
@@BensSisterLightOfTheDay in the second movie, Marty recognizes Red when he runs into him in the alternate present. Red seems put off by hearing Marty saying his name. It was a subtle moment but a nod to the character.
1999 was when area codes became mandatory,they existed before that but only if you were calling from outside the area you were calling. Then one day it went from 7 to 10,I remember the day vividly. “555” was just a number they used in movies. That was great when you went off on Biff right away
Jerry Lewis was a crazy comedian.
Jerry Lee Lewis was a musician who married his cousin.
Joe Louis was a championship boxer.
Perhaps best written Trilogy there is. You can watch this trilogy repeatedly and laways fun new thing. Tom Wilson does amazing roles as Biff thru ought the series.
3 was okay. 1 and 2 were classics
You mean, Biff, Griff and Buford Tannen?
@Kayo Michiels Plus young Biff, supervisor Biff, nice Biff, rich Biff, and old Biff.
Joe Louis - Boxer
Jerry Lee Lewis - Musician
Jerry Lewis - Comedic actor
By the way, it was insanely fun to watch you react to this movie.
Huey Lewis - guy with bullhorn judging bands
Lennox Lewis was heavyweight champion.
Richard Lewis - King of Nottingham
Lewis Hamilton - F1 Driver
Jerry - Cat Toms enemy
Carl Lewis - Athlete
Jerry Haliwell - Spice girl

My husband and I went to Universal Studios here in Cali. My husband was chosen to do the Towne Clock Scene with doc and it was so cool. He looked as if he was there. This was July 1997. It was our honeymoon. Great movie to show. Great memories
I got chosen for that, too! I have a VHS tape in my family's den somewhere of me on that clocktower. I was such a fan, I knew all the lines and facial expressions. "Great Scott!!"
There were pencils in 1955, but nobody would ever use one for a letter. Pencils were for figuring or shopping lists, anything that wasn't permanent. Letters were intended to last, so they were written with ink, and since there were no ballpoint pens then, people wrote with ink pens, which is what Marty was using when he writes his letter. (The next step up was fountain pens, which contained cartridges full of ink that you just changed out instead of needing a bottle. From there, a semi-dry ink was invented and the ballpoint to go with it, which is the most common kind today.)
The film is set in 1955. Bic came out with their ballpoint pens in 1950
So, a note on Doc learning about his invention early. I have a theory...that when Doc Brown learned that an invention in his head becomes reality, it changes his future. When Marty originally talks to the Doc in the twin pines parking lot, he mentions that he'll be able to know who wins the next few world series. This, coupled with the article at the very beginning of the movie that talked about the Brown Mansion being burned down as well as stealing from the lybians, leads us to realize he's probably not in n the best place financially. (Also, the Doc literally says he spent his entire family fortune on making the time machine)However, once he sees with his own eyes his flux capacitor, he realizes that this invention will work. This instills a new sense of direction in his life, leading him to make smarter choices in life, financially. In turn, Doc is no longer obsessed with money. We see this when Marty buys the almanac in the next movie and when Doc finds it, he deeply disapproves.
I grew up in the 70's, was a teen in the 80's. The 70's were feral, the 80's fun! So relieved there is no evidence anywhere of what we got up to 😂
I am Generation X too! I graduated high school in the 80s! I loved the 80s! Let's go back!
Grew up in the 80s, teen in the 90s
No evidence either aside from physical pictures which can be destroyed
It’s the same for me today
Zero social media, I don’t take pictures or videos
Keeping life as simple as possible
@@NF40375 TH-cam IS a social media. See here, how we communicate with each other. Pretty social if you ask me.
The 60s/70's was the 'Golden Age' for popular music. Real musicians playing real instruments & actually singing, live, without, auto tune or studio manipulation. Much of it holds up to modern performances to this day. & The music is over 50 years old.
I grew up in the 60's, was a teen in the 70'sand I said the same damn thing about the 1950's being feral....
We had area codes back in the day. We just didn’t need to dial them if you were calling locally (from & to the same area code). You only dialed the area code first for long distance calls.
This is one of the best movies of all time. Never gets old.
There have been area codes since the 40s, but we only had to dial them when making long distance calls.
Yes, Jerry Lee Lewis was the musician who married his cousin. "Great Balls of Fire."
The Jerry Lewis he's referring to here was an actor/comedian. He was a part of the Rat Pack. Basically rolled with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr.
Fun fact.. the dude who told Marty’s band they were too loud at the battle of the bands audition is Huey Lewis.. he sings the ‘theme’ song ‘Power Of Love’ & it’s the same song Marty & the band tried to audition w..
Great job, MajorReacts. This is one of the greatest trilogy's of all-time. The original to me will always stand the test of time.
Funniest thing is when Huey Lewis told him he was too loud😂
Area codes have been around since the 1940s. You must have just called someone in your own area in which case you don't need to dial the area code.
You: “I wish somebody would put air in my tires and change my oil. Well, we do, it’s called Valvoline”
Me: We are each others spirit animals. 🥰 I always go to Valvoline and tell others about it. It’s the best drive-thru oil change place. 🤗 Never thought I would ever hear anyone else mention it. Thank you for that.
That scene where you yell at George for whispering, in that scene, he did a bunch of takes trying to get his voice to the right pitch, just between nerd and handsome newcomer. He did this so many times that he temporarily damaged his voice. The solution, he dubbed his lines for the scene, while, when he did the scene, he was just mouthing the words.
They did have pencils in 1955, but ballpoint pens were just starting to gain popularity - so it's likely that many people would still be using fountain pens and ink.
This movie was made by people who actually grew up in the 50s, so I trust that this was accurate.
I was born in the 50s and used fountain pens when I was a kid.
I was just impressed Marty could using an ink well pen without making a mess. They take some practice and most 80s teens wouldn't have used one.
Area codes have been around for a while... but back in the land line days, you didn't need to punch in the area code if they lived in the same area code as you. So if you are (818), you wouldn't need to dial the area code for any other (818) area codes, but if you call any other area code, you had to dial "1" first, then the area code, then the 7 digit number.
Also I think the funniest part is that George makes Biff call him Mr.😂😂😂
Fun fact: Michael J Fox was filming his sitcom, Family Ties, at the same time as this movie. He did Family Ties during the day and then went right to the other studio to film this at night.
Quentin Tarantino has included this movie among his Most Perfect Movies list
Oh man....this is one of those movies I wish I could see again for the first time.
1. The cranky principal Mr. 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, Power of love. etc.
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, if you haven't already, where Christopher Lloyd plays the heavy, you must do "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
Interesting thing about 555 numbers; you will almost always see a phone number in television shows or movies start with 555 because most 555 numbers aren't working numbers. They stopped using legitimate phone numbers a while ago in film because real people and businesses were being harassed.
If only Squid Game would’ve been hip to that
I think that they even stopped using 555 numbers because it started to become a joke. For example, in Last Action Hero (1993), the kid points out to Arnie's character that all of the phone numbers are 555 numbers, thus proving that they're in a movie. I'm not sure that I've seen a movie or show use a 555 number since. Instead, I've seen numbers that look more legitimate that I assume are either also set aside as non-working or maybe owned by the studios and just go nowhere or to an automated message (like "thanks for watching our movie" or something).
27:04 -- Jerry Lewis was a comedian often partnered up with Dean Martin.
37:30 -- Diana Ross' singing group was The Supremes.
I still say the parent's, specifically George, purchased the truck for Marty as a "thank you" for helping him with his life since he remembers. A little hint is that George says the same quote to Marty while giving his book to him "if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!"
If its 30 years between 198 and 1955 and Marty is 16, that means it was 14 years between the Enchantment Dance and Marty's birth.....for a total of about 2 years until Marty's face started to look like Calvin's face. That's a stretch.
So...that's about 24 years between seeing Calvn in 1955 and Marty's FACE in 1985 (assuming marty didnt look like he was 16 years old when he was 4 years old, or 6, or 10, or 11)
I went to my 25 year high school reunion and I couldnt remember my Prom date, despite the fact that she hardly changed. I just couldnt remember her face, despite the fact that I was crazy about her and we dated for 2 months.
I think that they just purchased the truck for him when he turned 16 because they could afford it, as most parents who can afford it do. As for the line about putting your mind to it, I think that that was to show us that Marty is responsible for motivating his dad and turning the family's fortunes around.
The parents aren't aware it was their son who helped them. The director made the family wealthier at the end and wanted to reward Marty with the truck he wanted.
Hell yeah, I just found your channel. This is my favorite movie of all time and you did it the honor it deserves with that reaction! Good job dude picking up on these clues. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I love this movie hell I love this series some of the best movies I have ever watch
The teacher with the loudspeaker at the band auditions was Huey Lewis. The song Marty was trying to audition with was a Huey Lewis song.
Since you in the 80s please review Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swazie. I think you will like it. If people in comments says not to don't listen at them! 🤣
So glad I found this channel. Bro really pays attention to detail. Respect.
I knew you would like it . 2 and 3 were filmed at the same time! Genius Spielberg
Jackie Gleason, the comedian Marty’s grandparents loved, was arguably the first big television star with his sitcom “The Honeymooners”. That show would later become the blueprint for the Flintstones cartoon. Check out the Richard Donner film “The Toy” which pairs Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason together!
Tom Holland based his portrayal of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man movies on Marty McFly. That's why they seem so similar. It was intentional.
Area codes were around LONG before the 2000's. They are nothing new, and they are not a recent invention. Before the days of unlimited cell phone plans, calling outside your area code was more expensive than local phone calls, so people often avoided it when they could. If you made a local call within your area code, it wasn't even necessary to dial the area code. That's why the use of area codes might seem like a new thing. And now with cell phones and smartphones, there are more area codes than before. Just because people didn't use something often or just because there wasn't previously as many of something, that doesn't mean that it's new.
One of the best movies in history and I believe used in film classes as an example of excellent storytelling. It's bittersweet to watch tho as knowing Michael j fox condition, as he suffers from advanced parkinsons so had to retire. However he's raised a billion dollars for research on disease. Him having been such a fit and physical actor it's sad watching him struggle to even walk now.
For the longest time a pay phone call was 10 cents which is where rhe term "drop a dime" came from. Jackie Gleason was a pioneer in early live TV, a comic legend. A later standout performance was his role in "Smoky and the Bandit." Jerry Lee Lewis was the rocker. Win one for the Gipper is a line from a Reagan movie. The ballpoint pen was invented in 1888, patrnted around 1943, but didnt hit broad commercial markets til 1954. The original Batman on TV said Great Scott.
I was a kid for the 80's and a teenager for the 90's... Best time of my life!!All the freedom in the world...TOO MUCH FUN!! haha
Same here
Straight facts
@@NF40375 😛
Yup fun days...I was introduced to looney tunes back in the 80s I was a kid back then. But cell phones came out in the 98 and every teens becomes cheesy then 2000s era hits everybody tries to live in social media virtual life.
That was Huey Luis in the gym telling Marty he was to loud. But in reality it was Huey Luis and the News that actually did the song
Yes! The power of love!
I can't believe you recognized Billy Zane (the guy from Titanic). I.didn't know that was him until recently and I've been watching this movie for over 20 years. And even then, I couldn't figure out who he was until you spotted him straight out.
Love this reaction! One other Easter egg that took me many years to get is that 1985 Doc lives in the garage of the estate of 1955 Doc. This is because - as the newspaper clipping in the opening says - his house burned down, presumably due to an accident during one of his experiments.
It's Old Man Peabody growing pine trees. His son is credited as Sherman Peabody in the closing credits. The names pay homage to the late '50s/early '60s cartoon segment Peabody's Improbable History. It featured a talking genius inventor dog Mr. Peabody and his adopted human son Sherman who use the W.A.B.A.C. (way back, get it?) machine to travel back (and forth) in time. Sound familiar?
You're only the second reactor who got the "Make like a tree, and get out of here" joke. Out of several-dozen times watching this with reactors, only one before you got it. Kudos! :)
By my second grade, in 1958, we were required to use fountain pens for essays or reports. Ink cartridges had replaced ink wells for the ink, but fountain pens with a bulb that you squeezed (like an eye dropper) were still being sold. Pencils have been around for a couple of hundred years, but they were only allowed for math assignments. Ball point pens were still pretty crude and globs of ink would collect on the tips and eventually end up as smudges on the paper. The movie was spot on almost everything.
26:56 You're thinking of Jerry Lee Lewis, the rock and roll piano player/singer. Jerry Lewis was a famous comedian in the 1940s and 1950s.
Really appreciate that you're catching so many details and pausing to talk about it
Joe Louis was a boxer, Joe Lewis was a kickboxer, Jerry Lewis was an actor, and Jerry Lee Lewis was a singer who married his cousin. It's easy to get them muddled up.
It's interesting watching this movie reaction today -- hadn't really thought about this: That JVC camcorder "worked" for Marty to hook up to Doc's TV, because in 1985, the TV connectors/technology wasn't really that different yet [30 years difference], but, today, say... he'd have recorded that whole video on an iPhone, and good luck trying to hook that up to a 1950's TV. (granted, i spose they'd just watch it on the iPhone) ... maybe nevermind this. :) Mostly saying that our tech change from 1985 to now has broken the idea of hooking up the "modern thing" with the "old thing"
Fantastic movie. Amazing trilogy.
At 25:55... Doc's experiment is actually working.... Marty come from a a great distance (30 years) ; Saturday Evening Post (newspapers in the garbage Marty grabs to read) ; Donation (lady asking to fix the clock tower in 1985) ; Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary (Marty's Grandma asks him why he is he wearing a life preserver, Marty responds with coast guard)
21:04 I never noticed Billy Zane (Caledon Hockley) from Titanic before! I'm sure others knew, but very good catch! According to wiki and IMDB, this was his first acting role!
This movie was everything as a kid.....still had hope for the future until 2012....and then the real 2015...ugh...lol more when we reach Pt. 2....this film...forever a classic.
well done... I must have watched a dozen reactions to this movie over the last couple years and you are the only one ever that got the 'make like a tree' joke. Thanks for sharing.
"Out of a DeLoreon?" lmao one of my fav quotes out of this quotable movie. Something I can re-watch all the time.
Much love !
Michael J. Fox was also filming the comedy sitcom "Family Ties" at the time he filmed this movie. He would be on set for the sitcom in the days and at nights and weekends he filmed "Back to the Future".
great reaction dude! wanted to answer your question (while i remember), the writing utensils in the 50’s were fountain pens that required liquid indian ink in little bottles to operate. quills were still occasionally being used too. maybe not in public schools, but i know in catholic schools where there were still some wooden desks, they had a little hole usually in the upper right hand corner where you’d drop the ink bottle to fill the pen with. if you can imagine cm, it was probably messy and certainly inconvenient, but they made it work.
OH SH*T!!!!! I went to school in the 80s. We had a mostly wooden desks, but a few newer desks (possibly composite). The wood desks has a round depression in the upper right corner and you absolutely just helped me figure out what it was for!!!! OMG!! I owe you a tea
Montley crue remark had me laughing. The crue were big in 85'!
I love watching all these first time reactions. Not a single one I've seen has noticed the guy speaking in the megaphone "You're just too loud" is Huey Lewis who sang "The Power of Love". Perfect cameo that probably had more of a reaction back then.
Back to the Future (1985) has been referenced as the Best Screenplay, and used in some screen writing classes.
Often used as a shining example of a "perfect script" in screenwriter/film class, 'Back to the Future' is EASILY of the most cleverly written (and BEST!) movies EVER made!
I swear to God, I wore out two VHS copies of this movie when I was a kid in the 90's!
Part II is quite a bit more dense, but still a very good movie with countless moments guaranteed to make you go "OH SHIT!!" in the best way possible! 🥰
........ but then there's the OG Nintendo video games.... 🤮🤮🤮
OK, now you have to watch the other two. Such an amazing trilogy. Great reaction. Everyone loves this movie.
I knew you were gonna love it, and all three of them are great 👍
Michael J Fox was also the star of a sitcom called Family Ties at the same time, he was filming the sitcom, Back To The Future, Teen Wolf, Poison Ivy, and a Family Ties movie all in 1985.
Secret to my success 🎥 😎
Area codes have always been a thing, but you didn't need to use an area code if you rang someone in your area from a landline, and you would need to use an area code on a mobile phone no matter if you was in the area or not
It took me 10 watch throughs to recognize Billy Zane was one of Biff's dudes and you got it the first appearance. Damn
Diana Ross's group name was The Supremes.
He’s doing Chuck Berry- Marvin Berry’s cousin!😂 Chuck invented rock!!!! That’s “ Johnny B Goode”!
Omg when you think you know everything about the BTTF trilogy and some dude notices the guy from titanic that I’ve never noticed before!
My favorite trilogy ever ❤️
Its so special and so unique, every thing about these films is pure perfection and will always stand the test of time
Actually changed Biff’s life for the better low key. Owns his own car detailing business.
First video ive watched of yours. great reaction. very fun. loved it. was great watching you piece together the various plot points.
After this trilogy, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Hot Tub Time Machine are time travel comedies worth checking out as well. Great reaction!
This was the BEST reaction to BTTF on TH-cam... really great. Funny too!
When Marty asked what kids do in the 50s & you said Greased Lightning - a real laugh out loud moment 🤣
Ghost (1990)
& Poltergeist (1982) are HIGHLY recommended...
Funny thing is at the Battle of the bands the guy who told him you're just too damn loud over the megaphone is Huey Lewis... The person who sings the song in the opening credits and that they were playing to the judges. Lol
I grew up in the 80’s fun times, but no internet and old school computer and game consoles, awesome 😎
Fun fact...at one point, oreillys had a product page for a Flux capacitor...it was always out of stock of course, but it was a fun little homage to this.
7:20 - :)))) area codes existed since 1947 in US! The 555 numbers is what Hollywood used as their own "area code" so people won't call characters from the movies.
When Marty arrives at Doc's house, he takes a long look at the garage. It's the same garage that we see in 1985 at the start of the film (Doc's house burnt down sometime between 1955-1985, maybe as an insurance scam).
If you want to see a really fun Michael J. Fox movie, you might want to check out Greedy. It is a fairly unheard of movie with an great ensemble cast. (Kirk Douglass, Olivia D'Abo, Phil Hartman, Ed Begley Jr., Nancy Travis, Jere Burns, Colleen Camp, Siobhan Fallon, and Mary Ellen Trainor).
I totally forgot about that movie!
Greedy was sooooo fun!
Greedy was a real fun movie!
Greedy is actually hilarious. Phil Hartman was great.
I hate to be that guy, but this dude have watched Teen Wolf but not Back to the Future? C'mon!
That little town square he walks into in 1955 is used in so many movies and tv shows
13:55 REAL TALK....u got my sub for that....ever since watching Friday and I come back to this scene that song in my head.....ohhhhhh shit!!! lol
6:28 that's Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis and the News. They have 2 songs on the soundtrack, The Power of Love and Back in Time
