A lot of people watch this and misunderstand….. when Marty is driving away from the terrorists he is simply trying to get away. His intention is not to time travel. He just wants to speed up to avoid being killed. But he forgets that the machine is set up and ready to travel through time.
Are you suggesting he intended to crash into the newsstand at 90 MPH? I think the movie made it clear that his intention was to time travel. He was monitoring the speedometer as he approached 88 MPH and stayed at full throttle despite the newsstand in front of him. I can see the argument that he didn't intend to time travel when he first jumped into the DeLorean or for most of the chase, but he must have eventually come around to it.
@@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.-i thought the movie made it clear he trying to get away lol. If he was intended to time travel he would’ve tried to edit his time destination lol he jumped to the delorean to avoid dying . That’s why he he exited in 1955 hes confused
He was looking in the mirror and didn't see the photo booth. Also, if you watch it the second time at the end, you'll see he misses the booth and goes just to the left of it.
@@-.._.-_...-_.._-..__..._.-.-.- movie clearly depicts he mistakenly activates the time machine while shifting gears during his escape. Marty's full intention also comes right out of his mouth: "let's see if you bastards can do 90 (mph)". How do you think he is "clearly" intended to time travel which takes place at 88 mph. Then, that line would've been "lets see if you bastards can time travel", especially in a movie trilogy that is highly revered for its peculiar and continuous script.
PS: doing 90 back in '85 was something special and DeLorean was one of few machines that can achieve it.
22:31 "Is she wearing purple now because of him?" Whoa. I've lost count of the times I've seen this film and I never noticed that detail.
She’s a hot mess 😂
When she hears the song "Stacey's Mom", she thinks it's about her.
I never noticed that either, and that elevates the movie…
Exactly what I was thinking.
Still after all these decades this movie keeps on giving.
I thought the same, never considered it or heard anyone mention it before! I could totally imagine her doing that, thinking it might be his favorite color or something.
I love that you noticed that Loraine also stood up for George when Biff almost broke his arms,
It's not just George standing up for himself, they stand up for each other, a much more inspiring fundation for their relationship.
Definitely one of the greatest trilogies ever made.....crazy this movie almost 40 years old 😭
can't wait for part 2!!!
@@NiaMakiReactswill be back for Part 2 if you do it. You'll get people telling you not to watch beyond the end but it was in the original theatrical release and in every subsequent release. There are no spoilers (apart from this being a trilogy which you should already know), just a teaser. Make your own mind up on that.😊
22:30 "Is she wearing purple now because of him?" I never thought of that, or heard that before. It's quite possible.
The reason he didn't get zapped is because the path he built for the lighting bolt to follow provided much less resistance than his body did, also he was wearing protective gloves
Oh good, for a moment there it wasn't realistic! :-)
It seems like everyone misses that he is wearing those thick rubber protective gloves.
The song Marty's band is playing in the beginning is by the real group Huey Lewis and the News. The guy with the bull horn at the audition is Huey Lewis himself.
twin pine mall ---> singel pine mall
singel pine mall --> lone pine mall@@KingArthusSs
KingArthus Lone Pine Mall.
@KingArthusSs also known as the Puente Hills mall
Yes....we learned this 40 years ago!
I love how everyone expects this movie to be about the future.
Back to the Future IV is about Einstein trying to find his missing minute.
It's a good thing VHS isn't much of a thing anymore, I'd watch this until the tape breaks.
Funny that you just pointed out one of the biggest plot holes in movie history. If Einstein skiped that minute in BTF1 and was basically missing for that minute how can Marty and Jennifer see their future selfs in BTF2? They would have been missing for 30 years. The only thing about BTF2 that I like is that it leads into part 3.
I would point out that George did not become a bully. He simply became so self-confident that he will take absolutely zero shit from Biff who is constantly trying and failing to assert dominance. Whereas Biff doesn’t so much become George’s bitch, he simply goes from a physically imposing coward with impostor syndrome to a physically unimposing coward with his own business.
i'm really confused by her statement there. he is just biff's customer and they are clearly friends. biff wouldn't be excited about his book if he was being bullied. i just don't understand some people.
I thought the same thing she did at first. But then on rewatching, you notice that Biff's name is on the truck, so he is running his own business, and they are all comfortable with him coming into their house. I like to think he changed his Bullying way after getting taken down a peg by George, and becomes a good man.
@@jrobertlysaght I mean, as we see in Part 2, he most certainly did not become a good man, as Old Biff is just as big a piece of shit as Young Biff, albeit smarter. And let's face it, being pieces of shit seems to run in the family.
If some guy tried to rape you in high school, would you let your husband hire him to wax the car? That part never sat right with me.
Yeah and when he came in the house and saw Marty he was like "oh hey Marty" in a friendly way.
***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** At the end of part 2 it will say "TO BE CONCLUDED". You need to stop it there.
If not it will SPOIL part 3 of the next movie.
I read that all the time and never understood what that's supposed to spoil.
Not many pick up where Doc went to. Until they see the after scene.@@lolowfi
And be aware that they had to recast Jennifer because Claudia Wells was caring for her dying mother
@@lolowfi Yeah, neither. It's just a trailer. When I saw BTTFII as a kid at the cinema, it was on straight after the movie and no one thought, "Oh, well, that's spoiled the next movie for me." Everyone was excited to see it.
@@TomRNZ @lolowfi It's because in modern versions they add a "teaser" right after that shows way too much of the next movie. In the original showings it was fine because "to be concluded" was an excellent way to finish, but DVD versions have included this newer trailer without warning for a few years now.
I've seen this movie a hundred times, and I never even thought about Loraine wearing purple after meeting "Calvin!" I love to hear a woman's point of view!
16:58 How long has this dog been alive?LOL. That dog is Capernicus. The dog in 1985 is Einstein.
It is kinda funny that so many people think Copernicus is baby Einstein 😅
I do like to think that Doc had a dog named Newton between Copernicus and Einy.
Everyone always points out that Marty's dad George is a perve, but no one ever mentions that his mom took Marty's pants off for a head injury.
To be fair, it is uncomfortable to sleep in blue jeans. At the end of the movie everyone always talks about how Marty can sleep in such an awkward position as well as fully clothed. Now, Loraine changing clothes in front of her window with the curtain drawn up is questionable. Girls are usually keenly aware of when people can see them, especially in a more modest era like the 50's. As well as her remarks about "parking" with a boy.
Everyone mentions Lorraine's perviness.. but, to be fair, the bigger issue is she is trying to get with her own son...
@@volourn9764 That's not really an issue, because Lorraine has no idea that Marty is her son. That isn't even a remote possibility in her mind. The entire point of that relationship in the film is to highlight that it's wrong. The film is fully aware that it would be wrong. Marty tries to avoid her at all costs, and Lorraine thinks he is just some random guy that leaped in front of her dad's car. In the end, when she does kiss him, she feels repulsed by it and loses all interest in him from that point.
@HumorousLOL I know it's not an issue for Lorraine, but it's certainly an issue for the audience. Plus, as far as perviness goes...remember, that's the same woman who thought a girl calling a boy was 'all sorts of wrong'. Yet, she's literally all the strange boy, drinking smoking, 'parking', etc.
Also that George isn’t the first one to perv on Lorraine. Remember when her Dad hits Marty with the car, he says _”Another_ one of these damned kids…”
In real life Thomas F Wilson who played Biff Tannen is a real nice guy who in high school was bullied so it's ironic he plays one of the all time great Movie Bullies
In 1955 when Marty escapes from the barn he ran over one of old man Peabody's two young pine trees.
Thereby the Mall sign changes from Twin Pines Mall to Lone Pine Mall
And when the clock tower is shown originally, the ledge under the clock is complete. After coming back at the end, they pan across the building and there's a chunk missing where Doc broke it in 1955.
19:18 "So you've gotta have him pushed in front of a car?" LOL That would've made a very different movie 🤣🤣
You talked right through the magical moment when Doc said the title of the movie, which explains the title of the movie.
He was a peeping Tom, but she was also an exhibitionist. George skedaddled over to his perch at exactly the right time. She changed directly in front of her street-facing window on a regular enough schedule that “Another one of these damn kids jumped in front of my car.”
At dinner in 1985 when she asked if he’d been bird-watching she was simultaneously putting him on the spot, teasing him in front of the children, playing coy, flirting, and attempting to draw him into the conversation. He’s flustered and pretends to have missed the question. “What, Lorraine? What?” He still doesn’t realise she knew what she was doing.
My guess, is that the tree was famous. It's pretty much confirmed by the dad's statement. There was plenty of word of about Lorraine.
Pleasantly surprised this beat Star Wars 👏🏻
it was the 7th one, since the other 6 are on the channel already. but now I can't wait to see the other Back to the Future movies
Yeah. It wouldn't have beat OT and don't think it would have beat out prequels but a lot of people hate on the prequels.
Hi Nia!😊 That is the Thin Man from "Charlie's Angels" that plays George, Nia. The judge that says Marty is too darn loud is Huey Lewis who made the music for the film.😉 Nope, Michael J. Fox can't sing. The "Twin Pines Mall" sign has changed to the "Lone Pine Mall" when Marty goes back to the future. He killed the Pines when he crashed through the barn in 1955. The end of the film was a joke. They had no plans for a sequel, and had no idea how successful the film would be. Unlike other trilogies, the Back to the Future trilogy is best viewed within a short time of each other, as they are very interconnected. Forgetting small things makes it more difficult to follow events in the sequels. Great reactions to your very first Back to the Future film, Nia!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
The Doc had all weather gloves on when he did that so he was protected
Great reaction Nia. Nice to see someone paying attention instead of watching themselves. Keep it up. ; )
Marvin Berry's cousin, Chuck Berry (phone call) recorded and released Johnny B. Goode in 1958, about 3 years after he heard Marty playing it at the dance.
Chuck Berry continued to give live concerts just a year shy of the future BTTF year (2015).
Marvin must have a really great memory. Having remembered the notation _and_ lyrics. 😅
Marty was originally played by Eric Stolz(the drug dealer from Pulp Fiction) but he refused to play the character as a comedy. The way he saw the film as a horror film not a comedy. When Marty returns to the present the life he remebers never existed. The parents and family he grew up with never existed. So he was replaced with MJ Fox and the actress that plays Jennifer also had to be replaced because she was to tall for the 5'4" Fox.
Actually, Claudia Wells (Jennifer) backed out of the sequels because her mother was in ill health, and she wanted to take care of her.
@@craigwhipNo, as in the actor playing Jennifer before they cast Michael J Fox was replaced with Wells when Stoltz was replaced because she was ‘too tall.’
You’ve combined this information with an unrelated tidbit from part 2.
@@ripleyjlawman.3162 you are wrong en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Wells
Stoltz was also not getting along with other cast members. In particular he refused to pull his punches when hitting Thomas F. Wilson (Biff) and because scenes are usually filmed several times, he was actually punching Wilson in the face over and over again. Wilson was looking forward to filming the cafeteria scene where he would get to manhandle Stoltz, but Stoltz was fired before they filmed that scene. Because they had already filmed half the movie, many scenes had to be reshot with Fox instead of Stoltz.
Eric Stolz is more remembered for The Fly 2 which he is pretty great in.
I think she was wearing purple cuz the purple underwear. I never noticed that, and I've seen this several times... and I'm a filmmaker who notices a lot. Good eye.
The algorithm brought me here. I fell instantly in love with your giggle. Looking forward to see more of it. :)
I love the Mr. Fusion (ala Mr. Coffee) on the car when Doc returns.
Marty's singing at the dance was a recording of Tim May's guitar work which is synched to Fox's hand movements. As for his singing voice, that comes from Mark Campbell of Jack Mack and the Heart Attack, a 1980s R&B group.
One of my all time favorite films. You have a couple more to go with number 3 being absolutely incredible! It truly is amazing.
It was soooo fun to watch you reacting to this one.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
"I look like an old man!"
"They kinda look the same..."
That's the joke! 😂
Many people seem to get confused about when Marty first goes back in time.
He did not intend to time travel, just to escape.
The Doc had absentmindedly set a date into the controls, and as Marty was driving he knocked the time activation circuit to on, so when he got up to 88 he inadvertently time travelled .
14:27 - Because that IS, him. 😊
What a precious reaction, it brought me back to when I was a child in 85 watching this in the theater. Thank you. Can't wait for Part 2, you'll love it.
11:26 Doc set the machine to the day he invented time travel. Marty is just driving a car to get away from the guys with guns. He’s not thinking about it as a time machine.
14:30 Because Crispín Glover is the skinny man from Charlie’s Angels.
Fun fact, . To me only , huey Lewis and the news had the billboard number 1 song on my birthday 8/24/1985 🎉😂
Here’s A Fun Fact For You! Marty Is Supposed To Be A Teenager But At The Time Of Making Making The Movie Michael J. Fox Was 21 Years Old Aka Adult! MIND BLOWN!!!
You talked right over the classic line in the movie "We're gonig to send you BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!" in which Doc's delivery of that line is so corny it's funny. They used it in the official trailer....
"your milkshake be bringing boys to the yard!!!!" BAHHH hahahaha love it
She knew what she was doing 😂
A couple of minor things:
The mall is originally named "Twin Pines Mall." If you look closely, you'll see that in 1955, Old Man Peabody had a pair of pine trees at the end of his driveway -- but Marty runs over one of them. When Marty goes back to 1985, the mall is named "Lone Pine Mall."
There are a lot of small details like that.
This film creates a weird paradox that's never explained nor resolved. When Marty returns to 1985, he sees a version of himself go back in time. However, _it's not the same Marty_ . It's an Alternate Marty who grew up in the future that Original Marty created where his father is a successful, self-confident scifi novelist; his family is completely different; and Doc isn't killed by the Libyans.
The question becomes: what did Alternate Marty do when he went back to 1955? He might interfere with his parents' meeting, but to him it would be the way he'd always heard his parents recount the story: that a teenager was hit by Lorraine's father; that Lorraine was infatuated with him for a few days; and that this ultimately led to Biff's attempted SA of her and George clocking Biff.
Or would he have interfered at all, thus allowing Original Marty's timeline to come into existence?
This whole thing is entirely glossed-over and never mentioned. Over the years, fans have speculated that the most obvious thing is that Alternate Doc, now aware of everything Original Marty did, simply made certain that the plutonium was packed so that Alternate Marty could immediately return to 1985.
However, that still creates a paradox, since there would then be _two different Martys_ who'd arrive back in Alternate 1985.
Don't think too much about it, because the logical implications get very, very twisted. It ultimately results in what scifi fans call an Infinite Loop Paradox, where multiple different Martys start showing up in 1955, and Doc's only reasonable response is to never follow through with the time machine at all.
In any case, the entire matter is totally glosssed-over. It's best to forget about it and enjoy the films, because dramatically they're very good. Indeed, the script for this film is taught in film schools as the "perfect script" because of the way it's structured. There are entire textbooks written about it.
Another point: in the early hours of October 15, 2015, fans gathered at the Puente Hills Mall, the shooting location of the Twin/Lone Pines Mall, to celebrate the impending arrival of the DeLorean. Sadly, no flying DeLorean ever appeared above or near it, but the fan celebration was well-covered in the press.
On a personal note: as an early Gen-Xer, I was the age of the teenaged characters when this film was released (though the actors are a couple of years older than me). I instantly fell in love with Lea Thompson and continue to be infatuated with her today.
I am impressed that she was able to transition out of ingenue roles, which is rare in Hollywood. Typically, actresses simply "age out" and are discarded, but Lea continued to act for some time. She's also a successful Broadway actress and has transitioned into film and series direction.
She remains beautiful, and is one of the few actress/directors her age who hasn't resorted to surgery nor botox nor enhancements. She's aged far better than me, and I really respect her not having chosen the enhancement route.
No doubt if I were to ever meet her, I'd become a drooling fanboy and embarrass myself. ❤
Pretty sure the “weather experiment permit” Doc Brown showed the cop had a portrait of Alexander Hamilton on it.
Ya know….Marty didn’t actually mess up Biff’s future. Look closely he owns his own car detailing company when detailing his pops car. So it really worked out for him too.
It's interesting that you are talking about this film as the first part of a trilogy. This was in the days where people weren't thinking about 2 and 3 before making the first. They had absolutely no plans to make a sequel. If they did they would not have had Marty and Jennifer meet themselves in the future as it breaks their own time-travel rules.
I subscribed right after you said "Leave room for Jesus" during the dance 😂🤣 Great review, and I look forward to you reviewing the rest of the trilogy
Okay when you said your milkshake is bringing all the boys to the yard I literally laughed out loud. It's not common to see a woman so beautiful and with a great sense of humor.
As an 80’s baby my favorite movies as a child were Back to the Future, and Ninja Turtles
The bum on the park bench is the mayor that was from 1955. I learn little things I missed about the move each time I watch. Like the whole twin pines mall name gets changed also
Yeah, good luck figuring out all the paradoxes. 😂
32:01 This scene underlines the impression _I've_ long been under that when you're the protagonist in an _action_ flick, you've got to have the most _iron grip._
33:00 _Iron grip._
Hey Nia, notice how George McFly uses his right hand to do everything during most of the movie including that weak right-jab on Biff but then sucker punches him with a powerful left-hook?
Back in the day, kids were forced to use their right hand in everyday tasks because left handed kids were considered a bit backwards and lacking etiquette. In some case kids were subconsciously traumatised, which in later teenaged years made some of them shy or anxious. George got over it and gained confidence after that left-hook.
Damn, someone already posted this 😭
Ah well.
I should point out, the first movie was originally intended to stand alone. The apparent sequel hook wasn't meant seriously. It was only after they saw how much people liked it that they decided to do sequels for real. And they only managed to get them out 4 years later.
That said, it does make an excellent trilogy.
Unlike most sequels, all three are great!
The homeless guy, Red, was the guy running for mayor in 55, Red Thomas. Clearly things went downhill for him after that. 33:35
Whoa, you recognized that he's the Creepy Thin Man from Charlie's Angels! Deep memory there, nice.
In beginning Marty meets Doc Brown at Twin Pins mall. When Marty goes back in time he kills one of the pine tress. When Marty comes back from the past he goes back to the mall which is now called Lone tree mall.
Oooooh snap I didn’t notice that! I did wonder why they mentioned the pine plantation thing n if it would come back but I just didn’t notice the lone pine!!!!!!!!
I've been binging your videos, and I absolutely love how good your intuition is!!! You pick up on things really fast!! Like the "Twin Pines" thing. Every reaction to this movie, everyone always misses that little detail. Also, and during the Last of Us, you picked up on SO MANY THINGS regular audiences completely missed, and even correctly picked up on the theme... and other, more valuable parts of the story. Stuff I can't quite comment on yet, but you're like totally dialed in.
We all love this movie and it is the beginning to one of the greatest trilogies of all time. Even with the plotholes (and there are many) it is still one of the most unique and fun scripts ever written.
I was chuckling listening to you point out a lot of the time traveling stuff and pointing out some things that don't work like the mayor thing. Goldie was already mayor when the movie started. Unless what we are seeing is NOT the first time Marty went back to 1955 (which is a theory) Marty giving Goldie the idea to be Mayor is a plothole. Marty being able to run back and witness Doc getting shot is a plothole. The Mall is where the Peabody farm use to be, it isn't downtown where the clock tower is. Changing the dynamic of how his parents fell in love would've changed their entire relationship and lives. The two of them having the same kids with the same names and ages is pretty much impossible. And even if that happened, how could everyone else's life change but his not? There would be a a different Marty there. Everyone has forgotten about Einstein at the end of the movie for some reason. Ok ok... Like I said. We love this movie but it has a lot of plotholes.
I have been **WAITING** for you to get into BTTF! ❤
Btw, I cannot estimate how many times that I've seen the whole trilogy, and I never caught Jennifer wearing the purple dress to mirror Marty's purple underwear, you're probably right. Great catch!
Keep in mind for the next two movies the actress for Jennifer changes due to family issues. Also, don't forget to end the second movie right when it says, "To Be Concluded" on the screen to avoid spoilers for the third movie. 😊 Eeeeee! I'm SO GLAD you're starting this journey, I had a feeling you'd like it!
Heads up: The actress that plays Jennifer didn’t comeback for the sequel because she was helping her mother with health issues. That’s how the part was recasted.
Great reaction Nia like always, love this movie its one of my favourites, and the trilogy is a timeless masterpiece. There are a cameo in this one, Huey Lewis and the News provided the song "Back in Time" to the Back to the Future soundtrack, which played during the film's credits. At the beginning of Back to the Future, Huey Lewis took on a nerdy persona in an uncredited cameo as a judge for Battle of the Bands. Marty's band "The Pinheads" played a hard rock cover of Huey Lewis and the News' "Power of Love," but were ironically rejected by Huey Lewis' character. And this was the first film role for Billy Zane While he played a bigger role than a short cameo, Billy Zane made his acting debut as Biff's friend Match in this movie and second. Keep up the good work.
26:37 This is the point where the _knight_ is born. It's brilliant, the way they reworked the dynamic between George, Lorraine and Biff.
The _first_ time through, Lorraine met George and her heart went out to him because her father hit him with the _car._ This lead to them going to the _Enchantment Under the Sea_ dance together where they kissed for the first time, they fell in love, and they went on to get married and have a family.
But the _second_ time through, Marty inadvertently interfered with their first meeting and had to arrange a _second_ meeting. But that time, George came across _Biff_ on the verge of violating _Lorraine._ It was here that he understood. It's one thing for Biff to be a _bully._ It's quite another for him to be a _predator._
You can see it. George has connected the dots. He has foreseen the rest of the school year. He understands. From this point on, if he does not come to Lorraine's rescue, he will see her, after tonight, the victim he let down when she _needed_ him. And he will see _Biff_ as the predator he failed to stop when it was really _necessary._
Thus, he became the knight the situation called for.
“What if there’s a 4th child now?” Good point. I never thought of that. Wow that would’ve been a funny return.
One should never mess with time, no matter how well intended a person's motive are.
19:54 "I never knew you did anything _creative."_
You see him _differently_ now, _don't_ you, Marty?
27:15 You're seeing him differently _here, too, aren't_ you, Marty?
OMFG LETS GOOOOOO BACK TO THE FUTURE omg yes finally lets go i love this trilogy
Hi Nia, it's great that you've done a youtube edit for this classic sci fi comedy :) I love these Back To The Future movies, it's the GOAT trilogy! Please react to parts 2 & 3 as soon as you can :) I'm subscribed.
There was no BTTF 2 planned, the ending with the car flying was just for fun. However it was such a big hit they ended up making BTTF 2 and 3
The guy on stage next to Marty wearing the brown leather jacket, hat, and sunglasses is the guy who taught Michael J Fox, how to look like he’s playing the guitar. There’s a video with the audio of him playing during that part and it’s awful. 😁
Lmao deadddddd I wish they put that clip in the outro 😂 I wanna hear!!!
My favourite movie
People did not go to the hospital like that in those days either. They did not have the medical thing like they do today so that was normal for that type of situation
What a fun Movie saw it new in 1985 at the cinema, Great music soundtrack by Huey Lewis & The News
Your reactions to every little bit was priceless❤️very funny
great reaction!! ...i never even thought about the purple thing!!
15:18 a lot of people make a big deal about this “another one of these kids” line, either Lorraine’s father was a bad driver or there were frequent peeping Tom’s at that location, but I think the real answer is simpler, but maybe one lost to history. My parents grew up in the 50s (they were 9 and 13 in 1955) and both told me that there was a form of chicken that was really popular then. Kids would line up on the side of the street and try to run across ahead of an oncoming car. The last one to make it won (since he let the car get closest). Remember, this movie was only made 30 years after 1955 and that really isn’t a long time (30 years ago, I was a junior in high school and remember it very clearly) so I suspect the writers who created that scene were harkening back to that game of chicken.
16:44 I have a daughter (16) who is thankfully not ready to date (she still kind of wants an arranged marriage), but the struggle is real. At church, I’ve watched a couple of boys following her around like love sick puppies (I’ve talked with both of them to let them know the best way to be friends without being weird or thirsty, but I’m not sure the talks stuck. Lest you think I’m invasive or nosy, keep in mind I’m a volunteer in the youth program at church and my primary responsibility is to be the friend/cool uncle/confidant/mentor to these teenage boys -especially the ones without active fathers in their lives (which is sadly most of them).
18:06 I assume by “jigga”, Doc means gigawatts (think GB which is 1 billion bytes) which would be 1B watts, so the Time Machine needs 1.21GW. An electrical watt is volt X amps, so if you’re using a 12VDC system (which is what a typical car runs on), you’d need >100 million amps. Even at 270VDC (which is what operates the surfaces of large fly-by-wire aircraft, you’d still need 4.5 million amps. In comparison, a car battery typically holds no more than 1000 amps, so you’d need 100k car batteries all discharging instantaneously to power the Time Machine.
33:23 have you ever seen a bird on a high tension power line? If so, the same thing is happening with the bird that is happening with Doc. When the bird lands with both feet at the same time, he is not the ground and can do so safely as the electricity has a better path to travel. The same thing with Doc: he’s holding the cable with both hands so isn’t a ground. It’s a safety lesson I learned as a child and it stuck with me. If you’re in a vehicle and live power lines wind up on the vehicle and ground, the safest thing to do is stay in the vehicle until rescuers get the power turned off. If that isn’t an option (i.e. the vehicle is on fire) then jump out of the vehicle (ensuring you launch and land with both feet at the same time) and keep jumping like that until you’re far enough from the vehicle to be safe.
That was such a great reaction! Thank you!
This trilogy wraps up like no other I’ve seen, but one has to watch all three parts in order to have the full effect. I am sure you’ll love it. I don’t want to spoil anything right now, but if you allow TH-cam links in the comments, after you watch part two I’ll show you something very cute, that shows just what a great trilogy this is … no wonder they call it “THE trilogy”. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Salutations from Romania …
I always find it weird that people think Doc looks the same when 1985 Doc has white hair and wrinkles and 1955 Doc has blond hair and non wrinkles
There was no plan for a BTTF 2 or 3 when this was made so the ending is just the way they decided to end it. With the success of BTTF 1 they decided to make the sequels which were filmed back to back so the actors didnt age .... Great reaction and comments Nia as always ❤❤
After this The actress playing his mom Lea Thompson did the first Marvel movie ever. HOWARD THE DUCK. Not popular at the time but became a cult classic. Made by George Lucas and Spielberg
3:50 The song Marty's band is playing is the same song used in the soundtrack - Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News. The man telling Marty that they're "just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis.
14:29 Because that's him, sweetheart. Good catch ;)
Love it, one of my favourite trilogy’s, thank you Nia. ❤
There's a dark theory about why Lorain was so different at the beginning and end of the movie. The theory was that in the original timeline when Biff tried to sexually assault her there wasn't anyone there to stop him. So she was traumatized and became the prudish version of herself and married George because she knew he was weak and wouldn't have to worry about that kind of abuse. So when George prevented the assault, she never got traumatized so she never changed her views.
Because that IS the Thin Man from Charlie's Angels (Crispin Glover)

Not only is this my favourite movie, but it's the start of my favourite trilogy. If there's such a thing as a perfect movie trilogy, it's Back to the Future. I really hope you continue with the series, you'll start to notice a lot of recurring themes and events - these are definitely movies that benefit from repeat viewings.
Speaking of which, did you happen to notice that the Twin Pines Mall became the Lone Pine Mall at the end of the film? That's because Marty ran over one of Old Man Peabody's pine trees when he first went back to 1955.
If you like Back to the Future you should react to another one of my favorite movies, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
Ahhh so that’s two movies then cause I haven’t seen top gun either
When you watch Part 2, after you see the end scene with Doc and Marty, don't watch beyond that cuz there's a trailer for the 3rd movie and it might spoil it a bit.
Also my goodness you have a beautiful smile! 😁
Thank you for the warning!! I’ll steer clear after the end!
@@NiaMakiReacts The reason that there's a trailer for Part 3 right at the end of Part 2 is because both sequels were filmed back to back and released in theaters 6 months apart from each other. That kind of production line movie making is more common in the era of Cinematic Universes, but at the time it was something new that had never been done before.
If you ever realize how many times Doc talks about Paradoxes. It’s been said that the Time Machine itself prevents time paradoxes. If you pay really close attention to the ending the Time Machine won’t turn over when the alarm went off. Had Marty gone when the alarm went off he wouldn’t have made it. Pretty much everything that happened contributed to him being able to go back. I just don’t remember if it did it in the other movies.
Nia! Hi, glad you got around to this one 💥
You also need to check out The Departed (or put it on your polls if you haven’t). It’s so good.
✌🏼❤
Hey Johnny! Nice I’ll add that in!!!
Keep in mind this is a comedy. Any “futuristic” scenes shouldn’t be taken as a serious prediction of the future. 👍
of course lol, just love seeing different tropes and how they change
Absolutely, and the BTTF universe is like many time travel stories with changeable futures. Drastically different timelines are possible from meddling with the past such as George's transformation.
But but but...hoverboard! 😢
@@zmarkoWhy would you even mention that she hasn't even seen it yet!
Every serious movies mess it up. Look no farther than 2001: A Space Odyssey. 😅
Love back to the future the memories if I had a time machine. I would get all the winning lottery numbers and go back in time and play them easy money.
Please see the entire trilogy. It is one of the best, next to the likes of Star Wars, Lord of the Things, etc.
Ironically, this is, in all probability, one of the most timeless movies ever 😀
And yes the father of Marty was the bad guy in the Charlie’s Angels Movie!
Marty invented 1.Skateboarding 2.Rock n Roll 3.Star wars 4.Star trek 5.Time Travel?
6.Purple mens underwear
Fr fr!!! Changed the whole course of the future! Also the new mayor too
Nah, George wasn't (necessarily) a bully. Biff was an auto detailer, and George obviously hired him, to wax the car. Since George was successful, now, Biff was probably also being extra nice, to hopefully get a generous tip.
15:12 Your milkshake is bringing all the boys to the yard. Lol.
"Damn right! It's better than yours!"
She did have the curtains open
It's not Michael J. Fox singing but, he was playing guitar. ☺️
If Marty went back today, he would go back to 1994! Now that sounds crazy. I’d be in that high school as a freshman ⏰ ⚡️ 🏛️
Red Thomas was the tramp on the bench ‘crazy drunk driver’
You seemed to miss that "Twin Pines" mall became "Lone Pine" mall after Marty ran over one of the twin pine trees on Peabody's farm
