I was a teenager in the 1980s. The "you can't spend time alone in a car with a girl, but hanging out with a peculiar local scientist who is 40 years older than you is fine" social rules are accurate. And in case you were wondering, yes it was a great time to be a teenager.
On the other hand, Mr. Strickland DID end up being correct about one thing. Hanging out with Doc can be dangerous, as he really pissed off those terrorists!
I love how it was the Twins Pine Mall but when Marty takes out one of Peabody's pines it becomes the Lone Pine Mall. You will absolutely enjoy all 3 movies.
The movie theater marquees change too. Real film Cattle Queen of Montana w/ Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan (foreshadows the Reagan as President joke) becomes Orgy American Style, a real soft core movie with cult favorite Rene Bond and George "Buck" Flower (the latter plays Red the Bum in BTTF). Another theater has actual film The Atomic Kid w/ Mickey Rooney and Robert Strauss (the two actors are predecessors to Fox and Lloyd) later becoming The Assembly of Christ (Church). Both theaters have apparently fallen on hard times.
The "Something's gotta be done about your kids!" ending was really intended as just a gag. There was no intent to ever make a sequel, but it was such a hit, and eventually, they came up with a continuation. BTTF is one of the best trilogies ever made.
You are the first reaction person to laugh at the joke “Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?” With everyone else, the joke goes over their heads. And FYI, that same joke comes up in Part 2, so look out for it. Biff becomes a pivotal character in Parts 2 and 3.
Definitely do all three. Back to the Future is one of the strongest trilogies ever put to film. The Sports poster was a Huey Lewis and the News album entitled Sports. Huey Lewis did several of the songs, including Power of Love, Back in Time. Huey did a cameo as the teacher who shot Marty down in the audition for "being too damn loud" while playing a Huey Lewis tune. There are many background easter egg time change nuggets in all three films, as well as the more obvious changes. Half the fun is trying to find or notice them.
@@milannesic5718 I feel like the first half of the second one is very weak but the second half is so so so good it kinda makes up for it. If they had found a way to do the 2015 stuff much more quickly, without the hoverboard chase or the visit the the house, it would have been better.
"Sports" was a huge album when it came out, hitting #1 on the Billboard and #2 on the year-end charts for record sales, only behind Michael Jackson's "Thriller". 5 hit singles came out of Sports.
@@NightOwlModeler Why? It's not like everyone else who watched the movie back in the day didn't see that clip at the end. And what does it spoil? We already know where they are going at the end of the 2nd movie anyway.
The idea of the movie came about when writer Bob Gale found his dad's old high school yearbook and learned he'd been class president. He wondered if he'd be friends with his parents if they went to school at the same time, which led to the idea for a story where a kid goes to school with his parents. There was a couple of hiccups with casting. Michael J. Fox was always their first choice to play Marty, but he was busy with a popular TV show at the time called "Family Ties", so they cast another actor named Eric Stoltz. After a few weeks, it became clear that Stoltz wasn't working out. He was giving a dramatic performance, but this was supposed to be a comedy. Gale and Zemeckis made the difficult choice to let Stoltz go and pleaded with the "Family Ties" showrunner to let Michael do the movie. The compromise was that he would work on the show by day and the movie by night. That's why so much of it takes place at night or indoors. The Marty casting debacle affected some other roles in the film. An actor named JJ Cohen was supposed to play Biff, but he wasn't physically imposing next to Stoltz (who is quite a bit taller than Michael) so they cast Tom Wilson as Biff and JJ ended up playing one of Biff's gang. Also Melora Hardin (who later played Jan on "The Office") was cast as Jennifer, but when Michael replaced Stoltz, they decided she was too tall next to him, and she was replaced with Claudia Wells. If you're wondering about the "permit" that Dox showed the cop, there was a deleted scene where the "permit" is Doc slipping the cop a few bucks.
In case you missed it: The song that Marty's band played at the audition was The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis and the News. The guy with the glasses and megaphone who told them their band was "too darned loud" was Huey Lewis. What a great gag. Huey Lewis panning his own tune...
The poster Sports is the title of an album by Huet Lewis And The News, who did most of the soundtrack. Huey was also the guy who told Marty his music was "Just too darn loud."
When Marty is trying out for the band competition, the man that tells him, “I’m sorry but you’re just too darn loud” is Huey Lewis. He was the singer of the song that Marty was playing and playing in the soundtrack “The Power of Love”!
Fabulous reaction! and yes we need Nicolette to take us along for Part 2 and Part 3... otherwise it will unravel the fabric of the space time continuum and...!!!
These have been my favorite movies since I was a kid. It's always nice to see someone enjoying them for the first time. Please watch parts 2 and 3. They are just as good! Also, when you watch part 2, make sure you stop watching right after you see "To be Concluded" at the end because a trailer for part 3 immediately starts playing. Parts 2 and 3 were filmed back to back.
I honestly want to see Robert Zemeckis make a streaming cut of all 3 movies joined together into one nearly-5-hour saga. Then we wouldn't have to deal with that damn teaser trailer. Of course, there'd be the matter of the 2 different Jennifers, but oh well.
Hi Nicolette!😊 Unlike many trilogies, the Back to the Future films are very interconnected, and are best viewed within a short time of each other to get the best viewing experience. Great reactions to the original Back to the Future film, Nicolette!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 P.S. - You were right about Marty writing the note and being in the band.
All three of the movies are good, my favorite one is the third one. My wife and I drove our new 1985 GMC truck from California to Texas to apply for some jobs and stayed with my cousin and her family for a week. One day we took one of my cousin's daughter to see this movie at the premier early in the day. The three of us had a great time watching this movie.
Great reaction Nicolette, And welcome to the channel hope to see more reaction by you in this channel. I 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.
Nice watch, Nick. So enjoyable to see someone who's so invested. When Marty gets hit by a car, Grandpa says, "Another kid jumped in front of the car." I'm convinced that Loraine is a siren, and she's luring guys onto the rocks hoping to land,"the one." Apparently, Biff isn't on her list of targets, and he's pissed. Who kisses their brother like that? It's really convenient that Biff has a glass jaw and can't take a punch. Huey Lewis, the guy who told Marty he was too loud, wrote the song The pinheads were playing. It's not the only one. His band's next album was "Sports." You'll need to watch BTTF multiple times to see what changes Marty's road trip caused. It is an easy repeater. Welcome to the franchise.
Biff was drunk (Lorraine even says so), so I'm sure that affected him in many ways, including seeing the punch coming and then getting laid out by it. 😁
They only first did the ending as a joke and was not considering sequels but the response this this film was so overwhelming that they jumped full on in and went with 2 more movies.
Well they didn't exactly jump in, the creators didn't want to do sequels and had no plans for any, however fan and studio demand kind of forced their hand.
This is one of the greatest trilogies ever made, you 100000% have to watch them all!! BTW Google says skateboards were invented in the 40's-50's. I guess no one knows for sure.🤷♂️
*Oh man, I fell in love with you the minute you mentioned Einstein a thief who never invented anything! Not many people know that. As a prolific Gifted inventor, there's not much I don't know about who invented what and who ripped off what, etc... I loved watching this movie with you as well, you pulled out all the highlights as I would have. Dame, you won my heart, You have a new Sub here.* *Can't wait for us to sit together with you through BTTF 2.* *Here's an awesome tidbit, The Judge who told Marty the music was just too loud, was Huey Lewis (the singer of "The Power of Love) himself!*
Yeah I know! Emile Berliner invented the original gramophone and Edison tried copying his invention and made Diamond Disc 10" records… but it's Ok because Thomas Edison's(supposed) Phonograph is what the electric record player is said to be even though it's a disc player and NOT a cylinder record player!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@jescis0 *A lot of Edison's stolen stuff was invented by Nikola Tesla. Edison did everything in his power to smear Tesla's name and inventions that were superior to the inventions he stole from other people besides Tesla.* *Like the Tesla AC Generator that was better for powering entire cities from one station versus Edison (stolen also) DC Generators which have to be set up every mile, etc...*
“You definitely didn’t have a permit for that…” 😅 Sports on the wall is a poster promoting Huey Lewis’ album with the same name. Huey sang “The Power of Love.” Great reaction!
See, I like the fact that Marty actually *is* paying attention to Doc. He may be bad at schooling, but when he’s *interested* in a subject, such as helping Doc and the Time Travel or Jennifer (who he *instantly* refers to as beautiful without a second thought) or the fact that he remembers when and where his parents kissed for the first time, he retains all of it.
I saw this 4 times in theaters! I have heard it's studied in film schools as the example of a perfect screenplay. It is so tightly written, every reference gets called back to. Nothing in the script is superfluous.
It's absolutely imperative that you watch the entire trilogy! In fact, now that you've seen the first one, one of the most fundamental laws of the Universe is that once you've seen the first movie it's imperative that you watch the final two! Imperative, I tell you! Otherwise you'll be sucked into a black hole and you'll cease to exist! Great Scott! Do not let that happen!!!!!
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 8, and I thought Marty was the coolest character. (He still is cool). But it wasn’t till I was older that I realized how cool Doc Brown is. They are just a great combo.
Despite never explicitly being explained in the film, Bob Zemeckis confirmed that Marty met his friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown when he was around 14 after hearing that Brown was a dangerous lunatic. Marty wanted to go and see what it was all about for himself.
There's a deleted scene called "Doc's Belongings" where Marty asks Doc for a matching transformer-- to connect his 1980s camcorder to Doc's 1950s TV-- and realizes they haven't been invented yet. During the rest of that scene you can see Marty in the background (while Doc goes through his future self's belongings) improvising a connection to the TV by cutting and splicing wires. That scene suggests that Marty is himself sort of an electronics wiz, and befriended Doc at some point due to his interests.
Welcome to a perfect trilogy! 😁The more often you'll watch this movie, the more little jokes and details you'll find. The most obvious one is the name of the mall is changing, but there are many more. Doc hanging on the clock tower is a reference to the classic movie "Safety last" and one of Doc's clocks in the beginning is showing this iconic scene. The homeless guy in 1985 was mayor in 1955. And so on 😉 You'll find references, easter eggs and fun facts for all 3 movies, so keep on rolling, you'll not gonna regret it. And if you ever got the chance to watch them in cinema, go for it! It's just another level of fun watching this classics on the big screen with a cinema full of fans 🥳
POPCORN ROULETTE: You're very likable. Good reaction video. Nonetheless, there are things young reactors like you can't appreciate, through no fault of your own, because of your youth. For example: When this movie was made, a terrific rock singer, Huey Lewis was near the peak of his popularity. The song being played in the first scene when Marty was being pulled on a skateboard was a recording of a big Huey Lewis hit. When Marty started playing for a school audition, it was a Huey Lewis song. And then the nerd in the glasses in the high school gym that told Marty, "You're just too loud," was actually Huey Lewis in real life, which made it hilarious for us 1985 audiences. Another example: As an older teenager, I worked in a gas station in the late 60s. We'd literally run out when anyone pulled in for gas, pump their gas, wash their windshield, and check their oil - all when gas was around 30-35 cents a gallon - which makes the scene when Marty goes back to 1955, where multiple men run out to pump gas, amusing compared to what became self-service gas pumping in the 70s & 80s when the price of gasoline tripled in just a few years.
If you watch Part 2, make sure you stop when _”To Be Concluded”_ appears on screen, because a spoiler-filled trailer starts playing straight after that.
We definitely made sure she stopped before the built in trailer! Part II is up on Patreon and will be coming to RUclips soon and we will be shooting Part III after the Thanksgiving holiday!
@@SCharlesDennicon Robert Zemeckis said he felt they needed the trailer because he was worried that audiences would feel shortchanged that they didn’t get a “complete” story, and wanted to assure them that the final movie was just round the corner. But nowadays it’s really not needed when people can just immediately queue up Part 3 and go in completely blind.
26:00 "What permit would you use?" It's not very clear from the movie (although you can see Doc pulling out his wallet), but the script and the novelization make it clear that he just bribes that cop. 😁 (IIRC in the novelization he says something like "yes, I have a permit from Ben Franklin personally" and gives him a 100 dollar bill.)
The “Sports” poster was an album by Huey Lewis and the News, the band that was playing during that part and does the main songs for the movie. Huey Lewis himself had a cameo as the teacher who told Marty that his band was too loud.
I've never seen plutonium in person, but it is a silvery metal. In addition, it is my understanding that you don't want to expose to air (due to chemical reactions that can occur) so the way they portrayed it being stored in liquid is probably not unreasonable. Also, the 'Sports' poster you saw was a Huey Lewis & the News album cover poster. Huey Lewis was the lead singer for the 'Power of Love' and 'Back in Time' songs played in the movie as well as being the guy with the megaphone on the band judging panel who told Marty that the band was too loud.
36:16 - "Sports" is a #1 album by Huey Lewis and the News. Released in 1983 and spent nearly 2 years on the charts and had 4 top 5 singles (with 2 at #1). ALSO: Huey Lewis is the teacher in the movie who told Marty's band they were "Just too darn loud".
You mean 50's schools were so lenient. (21:18) 😉 And it wasn't Marty's intention to go back in time. He was just trying to get away from the guys who deleted Doc. He didn't realize the time travel circuits were on.
One thing I rarely hear is that The phone call from Marvin berry is to his cousin Chuck who “stole “ Marty s chords and song …It actually was created by Chuck Berry and a classic …
The poster in Marty's room that says "Sports" is an album cover poster for the Huey Lewis and the News album, "Sports." Huey wrote & performed "Power of Love" and was the dance committee judge who told Marty that he & The Pinheads were too loud.
Since you mentioned it, happy belated birthday! This is my absolute favorite trilogy of all time! Definitely looking forward to see your reactions to the other two. 1 gigawatt is a billion watts, think of it like a gigabyte compared to a byte. Also, the "permit" was probably some green backs.
Hey Nicolette! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! Now you can officially say that you made a US Marine cry! I absolutely loved your reaction and part 2 and 3 of this trilogy is just as amazing as the first one! Maybe just one suggestion . At the end of the movie maybe talk about it for like 8 minutes. I know myself and a lot of people really love that! This is the best trilogy of all time besides for Star Wars 4, 5, and 6. I can't wait to see your reaction to part 2! And your cute as a button, respectfully!
@@timh8324 Good ?! 9 seems to long and 7 seems to short. Plus the last 4 digits of my phone number are 8888. It's also my lucky number as far back as I remember since I could count! ❤🤍💙💛 There is a joke about it too, but it's no appropriate now-a-days w/ all this politically correct bullshit going on. Pathetic. Social Media has everyone wrapped around thier finger. Every guys a creep now.
Far more time has passed since this movie debuted until today 1985 to 2023 or 38 years than the 30 years Marty went back in time. The movie has become a time capsule for the 80's. It hit like a thunderbolt when it premiered it was a sensation and the Delorean car became immortal.
4:29 - The guy with the megaphone saying "I'm afraid you're just too damn loud" is actually Huey Lewis. They thought it would be funny to put him in a cameo rejecting his own song. 🙂
1. Cranky principal Strickland/James Tolkan also played the ship's squadron leader in "Top Gun". 2. The teacher that tells Marty, "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis himself. (Heart of rock and roll) 3. Eric Stoltz was first cast as Marty, but he didn't play well with others and was fired. Some of his long shots are still in the movie. 4. The flammable material set on fire with the model exercise had to have been put there on purpose. 5. It's always fun to see how people react to the Marty and his mom car scene. 🤣 6. George McFly/Crispin Glover didn't like that the story ended with the family being prosperous. 7. IMVHO part II is the best of the trifecta. 8. You may notice "Twin Pines Mall" becomes "Lone Pine Mall" after Marty takes one out when he goes ack to 1955.
I was 7 years old in 1985 when this came out. I would love to relive that time of my childhood, just with better parents. The movie theater went crazy at the end when the car flew. Crazy screaming and cheering.
In terms of the origin story. I read that when Marty was around 14 everyone was talking about a " mad scientist " who made these crazy inventions but parents told their kids to stay away from him but Marty actually snuck into his lab and doc caught him and was surprised that Marty was actually interested in his work so from then on he was just always around and their friendship blossomed from there
The school talent judge was Huey Lewis (and the News), the voice behind the song The Power of Love. They Libya s weren't pleased with being named as the bad guys by this movie. 50's schools, not 80's. Officially skateboard invention was 1958, but there were examples before that. The Sports poster was an album cover of the Huey Lewis and the News album names "Sports."
The Sports poster is actually a Huey Lewis and the News band poster from 1983. Evidently that album is the "Sports" column in the Huey Lewis and the "News[paper]" (and the band were pictured at a sports bar). However it's significant in that the group wrote and performed both Back in Time and The Power of Love for the Back to the Future soundtrack. It's even partially played at Marty's band audition for the high school dance.
Marvin Berry somehow has a guitar from the future. The guitar he lends to Marty is a Gibson ES-345, a model which wasn’t produced until 1958. It’s very appropriate, though, since Marty chooses to play a song which is also from 1958. 😄
Marty's band is playing a Huey Lewis & The News song at the tryouts thing in the beginning, and the guy telling them they're "just too darn loud" is played by Huey Lewis himself :) (also, the poster that "just says Sports" is a Huey Lewis poster; Sports was the name of one of their albums :p )
That was great. You were great. I’m glad to see you enjoyed it. I enjoyed all over again one of my favorites and the other two I think even better. I hope you enjoyed it too. Thanks for the fun.
BTF II & III absolutely! You won’t regret it and the complexity is awesome! Thank you for the wholesome reaction to my most favourite trilogy too. Cheers from Down Under ❤️✌🏻🇦🇺
4:29 The joke is that's Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News, the band that composed the song Marty is playing. So he's saying his own song is too loud. 10:41 Not unless it's predistined. Like if you bump into your grandpa and push him in your grandmas direction, you were always meant to be there and that means you were never in danger of changing anything. But in the movie it's clear Marty's time travel is the first one cause of all the things that change in 1985. 21:18 We're in the 50's, though. 36:06 Indeed. You don't just watch one Back to the Future.
14:09 "How many kids have jumped in front of your car?!?" You know, _I_ was wondering how many kids had fallen off of that tree branch while holding binoculars!
The poster in Marty's bedroom that says Sports, is the Huey Lewis and the News album poster. The album was named Sports and they're playing his song in that scene. Marty was also playing Huey's song at the audition. The guy with the megaphone who says "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis himself.
"Sports" was the name of the album that catapulted Huey Lewis and the News to fame. It came out three years before this movie....which, of course, features the group's Power of Love single.
You mentioned the butterfly effect. BTTF does address is in someways, especially in part 2 and 3 but there are minor effects in this one like Twin Pine becoming Lone Pine, how much better Marty's family is now, and a few other ones. Part 2 and 3 are definitely worth watching to round out the full story.
More of her please! It's very satisfying watching someone who catches details, understands references and overall actually knows what's happening lol I've seen many reactions (too many maybe? lol) and she's great! 👍 To echo another comment, a few thoughts at the end of things you noticed or liked helps to make it a bit better too. And yes, watch the rest. The references, and changes, they make in the background details are great!
"I'm sorry, but you're just too loud." This is Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis & The News, the same Huey Lewis who did half the songs in this movie, and the writer of the song Marty, (M.J. Fox) is playing during this scene.
Great reaction, Nicolette, you're fun to watch and hear, I love how you fold yourself into a pretzel and then comment about Marty's sleeping posture 😀 You made me subscribe... Can't wait for you to watch part 2 and 3. Please do not watch the preview for part 3 after the second film ends with "To Be Concluded..."
I was around 8yo when I first saw this, back in 1986. I'm in Finland and back then movies weren't released worldwide at the same time. I love this trilogy.
That shot of Marty checking out the passing girls right next to Jennifer is almost exactly the "distracted boyfriend" meme photo, from the opposite angle.
Nicolette! You know the guy who said the music is just too darn loud? That was Huey Lewis, a rocker, who toured the world with his band playing music too darn loud. The music on the radio waking up Marty, the music played while Marty was hitching a ride on the backs of trucks, and the music Marty actually used for the audition was all Huey Lewis music. Director's inside joke!
The poster in Marty's bedroom you mentioned that says Sports is the name of Huey Lewis and the News album at that time ...Huey Lewis plays a cameo role of the music judge who tells them" it's just too darn loud"...
According to the novelization, Marty broke into Doc's house and became fascinated by his inventions. Doc was so impressed that they became fast friends.
loved her reaction. such a great personality! i could definitely hang with her , she seems like my kinda of people. will be watching for more from Nicolette.
I was a teenager in the 1980s. The "you can't spend time alone in a car with a girl, but hanging out with a peculiar local scientist who is 40 years older than you is fine" social rules are accurate. And in case you were wondering, yes it was a great time to be a teenager.
On the other hand, Mr. Strickland DID end up being correct about one thing. Hanging out with Doc can be dangerous, as he really pissed off those terrorists!
And nothing pervert about a 49 y/o man hanging around the school hallways.
ADORABLE, how you keep getting your guesses be wrong... I love it ¡! ❤😂
Teachers being unnecessarily negative with students for no reason is pretty accurate too.
Lots have changed. The school in this movie didn't have/need security guards because mass shootings weren't a thing yet.
George and Lorraine are actually perfect for eachother. One is a peeping Tom and the other is an obsessed stalker 😂😂
She was purposely undressing in front of the open window lol her father even says another kid jumped in front of his car, so George wasn’t the first
Thank you! No one seems to ever pick up on that.
@@andrewft31 exactly 😂😂💋
@@andrewft31 Has it ever actually been confirmed that Lorraine was in fact the girl on which George was peeping?
Thank you! For catching that
I love how it was the Twins Pine Mall but when Marty takes out one of Peabody's pines it becomes the Lone Pine Mall. You will absolutely enjoy all 3 movies.
The movie theater marquees change too. Real film Cattle Queen of Montana w/ Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan (foreshadows the Reagan as President joke) becomes Orgy American Style, a real soft core movie with cult favorite Rene Bond and George "Buck" Flower (the latter plays Red the Bum in BTTF). Another theater has actual film The Atomic Kid w/ Mickey Rooney and Robert Strauss (the two actors are predecessors to Fox and Lloyd) later becoming The Assembly of Christ (Church). Both theaters have apparently fallen on hard times.
The "Something's gotta be done about your kids!" ending was really intended as just a gag. There was no intent to ever make a sequel, but it was such a hit, and eventually, they came up with a continuation. BTTF is one of the best trilogies ever made.
You are the first reaction person to laugh at the joke “Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?” With everyone else, the joke goes over their heads. And FYI, that same joke comes up in Part 2, so look out for it. Biff becomes a pivotal character in Parts 2 and 3.
The joke is "Why don't you make a tree and leaf" you butchered it
@@llothar68 Well then, Biff butchers it in Part 2 when Old Biff corrects young Biff by saying “Make like a tree and leave.”
Definitely do all three. Back to the Future is one of the strongest trilogies ever put to film. The Sports poster was a Huey Lewis and the News album entitled Sports. Huey Lewis did several of the songs, including Power of Love, Back in Time. Huey did a cameo as the teacher who shot Marty down in the audition for "being too damn loud" while playing a Huey Lewis tune. There are many background easter egg time change nuggets in all three films, as well as the more obvious changes. Half the fun is trying to find or notice them.
I always get annoyed when reactors have no idea who Huey Lewis is. Then I remember I am old. Why would they 😂. Great reaction.
Second one is way too silly, so not as strong
@@milannesic5718 I feel like the first half of the second one is very weak but the second half is so so so good it kinda makes up for it. If they had found a way to do the 2015 stuff much more quickly, without the hoverboard chase or the visit the the house, it would have been better.

Hi Popcorn Roulette, it's great you've started this iconic trilogy :) I love these movies, please react to the awesome parts 2 & 3 asap :)
The pinheadss are too loud but the news wasn't too loud when when huey Lewis wrote the soundtrack isnt ironic
The Sports poster was the album cover of Huey Lewis and the News’ album.
Just remember not to watch past the end card of Part 2, to avoid spoilers!
@@NightOwlModeler Why? It's not like everyone else who watched the movie back in the day didn't see that clip at the end. And what does it spoil? We already know where they are going at the end of the 2nd movie anyway.
The idea of the movie came about when writer Bob Gale found his dad's old high school yearbook and learned he'd been class president. He wondered if he'd be friends with his parents if they went to school at the same time, which led to the idea for a story where a kid goes to school with his parents.
There was a couple of hiccups with casting. Michael J. Fox was always their first choice to play Marty, but he was busy with a popular TV show at the time called "Family Ties", so they cast another actor named Eric Stoltz. After a few weeks, it became clear that Stoltz wasn't working out. He was giving a dramatic performance, but this was supposed to be a comedy. Gale and Zemeckis made the difficult choice to let Stoltz go and pleaded with the "Family Ties" showrunner to let Michael do the movie. The compromise was that he would work on the show by day and the movie by night. That's why so much of it takes place at night or indoors.
The Marty casting debacle affected some other roles in the film. An actor named JJ Cohen was supposed to play Biff, but he wasn't physically imposing next to Stoltz (who is quite a bit taller than Michael) so they cast Tom Wilson as Biff and JJ ended up playing one of Biff's gang. Also Melora Hardin (who later played Jan on "The Office") was cast as Jennifer, but when Michael replaced Stoltz, they decided she was too tall next to him, and she was replaced with Claudia Wells.
If you're wondering about the "permit" that Dox showed the cop, there was a deleted scene where the "permit" is Doc slipping the cop a few bucks.
In case you missed it: The song that Marty's band played at the audition was The Power Of Love by Huey Lewis and the News. The guy with the glasses and megaphone who told them their band was "too darned loud" was Huey Lewis. What a great gag. Huey Lewis panning his own tune...
"You *definitely* did not have a permit for that." 🤣
The poster Sports is the title of an album by Huet Lewis And The News, who did most of the soundtrack. Huey was also the guy who told Marty his music was "Just too darn loud."
When Marty is trying out for the band competition, the man that tells him, “I’m sorry but you’re just too darn loud” is Huey Lewis. He was the singer of the song that Marty was playing and playing in the soundtrack “The Power of Love”!
This is my favorite trilogy hands down. Do watch the next two movies, you will love them.
Sequel is much more sillier, so not everybody will love it. I did not. 3rd was less silly, so better
Maybe the best Time Travel trilogy, but the best Trilogy of all time is of course, The Lord of The Rings, sorry but very true.
Fabulous reaction! and yes we need Nicolette to take us along for Part 2 and Part 3... otherwise it will unravel the fabric of the space time continuum and...!!!
These have been my favorite movies since I was a kid. It's always nice to see someone enjoying them for the first time. Please watch parts 2 and 3. They are just as good! Also, when you watch part 2, make sure you stop watching right after you see "To be Concluded" at the end because a trailer for part 3 immediately starts playing. Parts 2 and 3 were filmed back to back.
I honestly want to see Robert Zemeckis make a streaming cut of all 3 movies joined together into one nearly-5-hour saga. Then we wouldn't have to deal with that damn teaser trailer. Of course, there'd be the matter of the 2 different Jennifers, but oh well.
I can't wait to watch you react to Parts II & III!
It's so cute turning yourself into a pretzel when you're anxious.
Huey Lewis, who wrote and preformed the Song "The Power of Love" for the movie, was the teacher who said "Your too damn loud"
Hi Nicolette!😊 Unlike many trilogies, the Back to the Future films are very interconnected, and are best viewed within a short time of each other to get the best viewing experience. Great reactions to the original Back to the Future film, Nicolette!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 P.S. - You were right about Marty writing the note and being in the band.
All three of the movies are good, my favorite one is the third one. My wife and I drove our new 1985 GMC truck from California to Texas to apply for some jobs and stayed with my cousin and her family for a week. One day we took one of my cousin's daughter to see this movie at the premier early in the day. The three of us had a great time watching this movie.
"You definitely did not have a permit for that" love that line
Great reaction Nicolette, And welcome to the channel hope to see more reaction by you in this channel. I 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.
Nice watch, Nick. So enjoyable to see someone who's so invested. When Marty gets hit by a car, Grandpa says, "Another kid jumped in front of the car." I'm convinced that Loraine is a siren, and she's luring guys onto the rocks hoping to land,"the one." Apparently, Biff isn't on her list of targets, and he's pissed. Who kisses their brother like that? It's really convenient that Biff has a glass jaw and can't take a punch. Huey Lewis, the guy who told Marty he was too loud, wrote the song The pinheads were playing. It's not the only one. His band's next album was "Sports." You'll need to watch BTTF multiple times to see what changes Marty's road trip caused. It is an easy repeater. Welcome to the franchise.
Biff was drunk (Lorraine even says so), so I'm sure that affected him in many ways, including seeing the punch coming and then getting laid out by it. 😁
They only first did the ending as a joke and was not considering sequels but the response this this film was so overwhelming that they jumped full on in and went with 2 more movies.
Well they didn't exactly jump in, the creators didn't want to do sequels and had no plans for any, however fan and studio demand kind of forced their hand.
Great reaction ! I like the energy you put out ! Thank you for starting this trilogy ! Looking forward to the 2 coming up !
You notice that this reactor is not bothered how Marty's mother is in Love with him. It's like it's normal for her.
Oh yes, you have to watch all three. They work together well to tell a larger story, and you’ll be glad you did!
LOVED YOUR REACTION! I MUST SAW THIS MOVIE A THOUSANDS OF TIMES, BUT I'D NEVER GET TIRED
This is one of the greatest trilogies ever made, you 100000% have to watch them all!! BTW Google says skateboards were invented in the 40's-50's. I guess no one knows for sure.🤷♂️
*Oh man, I fell in love with you the minute you mentioned Einstein a thief who never invented anything! Not many people know that. As a prolific Gifted inventor, there's not much I don't know about who invented what and who ripped off what, etc... I loved watching this movie with you as well, you pulled out all the highlights as I would have. Dame, you won my heart, You have a new Sub here.* *Can't wait for us to sit together with you through BTTF 2.* *Here's an awesome tidbit, The Judge who told Marty the music was just too loud, was Huey Lewis (the singer of "The Power of Love) himself!*
Yeah I know! Emile Berliner invented the original gramophone and Edison tried copying his invention and made Diamond Disc 10" records… but it's Ok because Thomas Edison's(supposed) Phonograph is what the electric record player is said to be even though it's a disc player and NOT a cylinder record player!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@jescis0 *A lot of Edison's stolen stuff was invented by Nikola Tesla. Edison did everything in his power to smear Tesla's name and inventions that were superior to the inventions he stole from other people besides Tesla.* *Like the Tesla AC Generator that was better for powering entire cities from one station versus Edison (stolen also) DC Generators which have to be set up every mile, etc...*
“You definitely didn’t have a permit for that…” 😅 Sports on the wall is a poster promoting Huey Lewis’ album with the same name. Huey sang “The Power of Love.” Great reaction!
If this was a little over a year later, the poster may have said Fore! instead. 😄
See, I like the fact that Marty actually *is* paying attention to Doc. He may be bad at schooling, but when he’s *interested* in a subject, such as helping Doc and the Time Travel or Jennifer (who he *instantly* refers to as beautiful without a second thought) or the fact that he remembers when and where his parents kissed for the first time, he retains all of it.
One of my earliest memories is going to see this,I can’t imagine a world without and now it’ll the same for you
Fabulous! Also, I think you'll enjoy the other two movies and they're always fun to watch. I personally think part 3 is an excellent way to end it...
I saw this 4 times in theaters! I have heard it's studied in film schools as the example of a perfect screenplay. It is so tightly written, every reference gets called back to. Nothing in the script is superfluous.
It's absolutely imperative that you watch the entire trilogy! In fact, now that you've seen the first one, one of the most fundamental laws of the Universe is that once you've seen the first movie it's imperative that you watch the final two! Imperative, I tell you! Otherwise you'll be sucked into a black hole and you'll cease to exist! Great Scott! Do not let that happen!!!!!
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 8, and I thought Marty was the coolest character. (He still is cool). But it wasn’t till I was older that I realized how cool Doc Brown is. They are just a great combo.
Despite never explicitly being explained in the film, Bob Zemeckis confirmed that Marty met his friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown when he was around 14 after hearing that Brown was a dangerous lunatic. Marty wanted to go and see what it was all about for himself.
Though it’s not confirmed as canonical, Marty may have even been put up to sneaking into Doc’s place by a certain well-known bassist. 😉
There's a deleted scene called "Doc's Belongings" where Marty asks Doc for a matching transformer-- to connect his 1980s camcorder to Doc's 1950s TV-- and realizes they haven't been invented yet. During the rest of that scene you can see Marty in the background (while Doc goes through his future self's belongings) improvising a connection to the TV by cutting and splicing wires.
That scene suggests that Marty is himself sort of an electronics wiz, and befriended Doc at some point due to his interests.
Welcome to a perfect trilogy! 😁The more often you'll watch this movie, the more little jokes and details you'll find. The most obvious one is the name of the mall is changing, but there are many more. Doc hanging on the clock tower is a reference to the classic movie "Safety last" and one of Doc's clocks in the beginning is showing this iconic scene. The homeless guy in 1985 was mayor in 1955. And so on 😉 You'll find references, easter eggs and fun facts for all 3 movies, so keep on rolling, you'll not gonna regret it. And if you ever got the chance to watch them in cinema, go for it! It's just another level of fun watching this classics on the big screen with a cinema full of fans 🥳
Fun factoid- when Marty gets blown back from the amp and takes off his sunglasses, that's the ONLY time he wears them in the WHOLE trilogy.
POPCORN ROULETTE: You're very likable. Good reaction video. Nonetheless, there are things young reactors like you can't appreciate, through no fault of your own, because of your youth. For example: When this movie was made, a terrific rock singer, Huey Lewis was near the peak of his popularity. The song being played in the first scene when Marty was being pulled on a skateboard was a recording of a big Huey Lewis hit. When Marty started playing for a school audition, it was a Huey Lewis song. And then the nerd in the glasses in the high school gym that told Marty, "You're just too loud," was actually Huey Lewis in real life, which made it hilarious for us 1985 audiences. Another example: As an older teenager, I worked in a gas station in the late 60s. We'd literally run out when anyone pulled in for gas, pump their gas, wash their windshield, and check their oil - all when gas was around 30-35 cents a gallon - which makes the scene when Marty goes back to 1955, where multiple men run out to pump gas, amusing compared to what became self-service gas pumping in the 70s & 80s when the price of gasoline tripled in just a few years.
BOTH sequels are a necessity. It's one of the most solid trilogies that exist. You won't regret it.
If you watch Part 2, make sure you stop when _”To Be Concluded”_ appears on screen, because a spoiler-filled trailer starts playing straight after that.
We definitely made sure she stopped before the built in trailer! Part II is up on Patreon and will be coming to RUclips soon and we will be shooting Part III after the Thanksgiving holiday!
I was scrolling the comments for this very reason! This is my first watch withbyou guys and dang if that girl ain't a keeper!
@@popcornroulettereactions We?
@@SCharlesDennicon Robert Zemeckis said he felt they needed the trailer because he was worried that audiences would feel shortchanged that they didn’t get a “complete” story, and wanted to assure them that the final movie was just round the corner.
But nowadays it’s really not needed when people can just immediately queue up Part 3 and go in completely blind.
@@Nekotaku_TV Two months late, but I hope you realize by now that the vast majority of these reaction channels aren't actually a one-person crew.
Who noticed that Billy Zane is one of Biff's 1955 bully buddies?!
26:00 "What permit would you use?" It's not very clear from the movie (although you can see Doc pulling out his wallet), but the script and the novelization make it clear that he just bribes that cop. 😁 (IIRC in the novelization he says something like "yes, I have a permit from Ben Franklin personally" and gives him a 100 dollar bill.)
YES.. Do 2 and 3... it IS the PERFECT TRILOGY!!!!!
26:05 “What permit would you use?”
According to the deleted scenes, you use a special greenback permit signed by Mr. Franklin. 😉😂
The “Sports” poster was an album by Huey Lewis and the News, the band that was playing during that part and does the main songs for the movie. Huey Lewis himself had a cameo as the teacher who told Marty that his band was too loud.
I've never seen plutonium in person, but it is a silvery metal. In addition, it is my understanding that you don't want to expose to air (due to chemical reactions that can occur) so the way they portrayed it being stored in liquid is probably not unreasonable.
Also, the 'Sports' poster you saw was a Huey Lewis & the News album cover poster. Huey Lewis was the lead singer for the 'Power of Love' and 'Back in Time' songs played in the movie as well as being the guy with the megaphone on the band judging panel who told Marty that the band was too loud.
36:16 - "Sports" is a #1 album by Huey Lewis and the News. Released in 1983 and spent nearly 2 years on the charts and had 4 top 5 singles (with 2 at #1). ALSO: Huey Lewis is the teacher in the movie who told Marty's band they were "Just too darn loud".
You mean 50's schools were so lenient. (21:18) 😉 And it wasn't Marty's intention to go back in time. He was just trying to get away from the guys who deleted Doc. He didn't realize the time travel circuits were on.
One thing I rarely hear is that The phone call from Marvin berry is to his cousin Chuck who “stole “ Marty s chords and song …It actually was created by Chuck Berry and a classic …
The poster in Marty's room that says "Sports" is an album cover poster for the Huey Lewis and the News album, "Sports." Huey wrote & performed "Power of Love" and was the dance committee judge who told Marty that he & The Pinheads were too loud.
Since you mentioned it, happy belated birthday! This is my absolute favorite trilogy of all time! Definitely looking forward to see your reactions to the other two.
1 gigawatt is a billion watts, think of it like a gigabyte compared to a byte. Also, the "permit" was probably some green backs.
Hey Nicolette! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! Now you can officially say that you made a US Marine cry! I absolutely loved your reaction and part 2 and 3 of this trilogy is just as amazing as the first one! Maybe just one suggestion . At the end of the movie maybe talk about it for like 8 minutes. I know myself and a lot of people really love that! This is the best trilogy of all time besides for Star Wars 4, 5, and 6. I can't wait to see your reaction to part 2! And your cute as a button, respectfully!
Just wondering: Why 8 minutes?
@@timh8324 Good ?! 9 seems to long and 7 seems to short. Plus the last 4 digits of my phone number are 8888. It's also my lucky number as far back as I remember since I could count! ❤🤍💙💛 There is a joke about it too, but it's no appropriate now-a-days w/ all this politically correct bullshit going on. Pathetic. Social Media has everyone wrapped around thier finger. Every guys a creep now.
Far more time has passed since this movie debuted until today 1985 to 2023 or 38 years than the 30 years Marty went back in time. The movie has become a time capsule for the 80's. It hit like a thunderbolt when it premiered it was a sensation and the Delorean car became immortal.
(4:35) That's Huey Lewis... who's songs they've been playing thru-out the movie
Back To The Future: One of a handful of movies where they kill a main character, only to have that character continue throughout the film. 😁
4:29 - The guy with the megaphone saying "I'm afraid you're just too damn loud" is actually Huey Lewis. They thought it would be funny to put him in a cameo rejecting his own song. 🙂
You talk about twisting during tension...imagine a theatre of 1500 people all doing that lol. Saw it on opening day.
1. Cranky principal Strickland/James Tolkan also played the ship's squadron leader in "Top Gun".
2. The teacher that tells Marty, "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis himself. (Heart of rock and roll)
3. Eric Stoltz was first cast as Marty, but he didn't play well with others and was fired. Some of his long shots are still in the movie.
4. The flammable material set on fire with the model exercise had to have been put there on purpose.
5. It's always fun to see how people react to the Marty and his mom car scene. 🤣
6. George McFly/Crispin Glover didn't like that the story ended with the family being prosperous.
7. IMVHO part II is the best of the trifecta.
8. You may notice "Twin Pines Mall" becomes "Lone Pine Mall" after Marty takes one out when he goes ack to 1955.
1. And "Masters of the Universe"
And "War Games"@@SchulzEricT
You’re one of the very few reactors who understood the “make like a tree” joke. I appreciate that.
I was 7 years old in 1985 when this came out. I would love to relive that time of my childhood, just with better parents. The movie theater went crazy at the end when the car flew. Crazy screaming and cheering.
In terms of the origin story. I read that when Marty was around 14 everyone was talking about a " mad scientist " who made these crazy inventions but parents told their kids to stay away from him but Marty actually snuck into his lab and doc caught him and was surprised that Marty was actually interested in his work so from then on he was just always around and their friendship blossomed from there
The school talent judge was Huey Lewis (and the News), the voice behind the song The Power of Love. They Libya s weren't pleased with being named as the bad guys by this movie. 50's schools, not 80's. Officially skateboard invention was 1958, but there were examples before that. The Sports poster was an album cover of the Huey Lewis and the News album names "Sports."
The man in the beginning who told Marty he was just “too darn loud” was Huey Lewis. The man who sang Power of Love!
i love how you criticized marty's sleeping position when you were sitting like you were the whole movie
The Sports poster is actually a Huey Lewis and the News band poster from 1983. Evidently that album is the "Sports" column in the Huey Lewis and the "News[paper]" (and the band were pictured at a sports bar). However it's significant in that the group wrote and performed both Back in Time and The Power of Love for the Back to the Future soundtrack. It's even partially played at Marty's band audition for the high school dance.
Marvin Berry somehow has a guitar from the future. The guitar he lends to Marty is a Gibson ES-345, a model which wasn’t produced until 1958. It’s very appropriate, though, since Marty chooses to play a song which is also from 1958. 😄
Marty's band is playing a Huey Lewis & The News song at the tryouts thing in the beginning, and the guy telling them they're "just too darn loud" is played by Huey Lewis himself :) (also, the poster that "just says Sports" is a Huey Lewis poster; Sports was the name of one of their albums :p )
That was great. You were great. I’m glad to see you enjoyed it. I enjoyed all over again one of my favorites and the other two I think even better. I hope you enjoyed it too. Thanks for the fun.
16:09 "And he can sleep in _my_ room."
Somebody needs to turn the garden hose on Lorraine.
One of the best reactions I’ve seen. Thoughtful and entertaining. Genuinely added to the experience of the movie. Thank you.
BTF II & III absolutely! You won’t regret it and the complexity is awesome! Thank you for the wholesome reaction to my most favourite trilogy too.
Cheers from Down Under ❤️✌🏻🇦🇺
4:29 The joke is that's Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News, the band that composed the song Marty is playing. So he's saying his own song is too loud.
10:41 Not unless it's predistined. Like if you bump into your grandpa and push him in your grandmas direction, you were always meant to be there and that means you were never in danger of changing anything. But in the movie it's clear Marty's time travel is the first one cause of all the things that change in 1985.
21:18 We're in the 50's, though.
36:06 Indeed. You don't just watch one Back to the Future.
Back to the Future IS the greatest trilogy of all time! And Lord of the Rings.
"Thats horrible posture to sleep in Marty" as she untangles from her stress induced human pretzel position.
33:43 I sit the exact same way. I thought I was the only one twisting myself into a pretzel, lol! Glad to see it!
14:09 "How many kids have jumped in front of your car?!?" You know, _I_ was wondering how many kids had fallen off of that tree branch while holding binoculars!
The poster in Marty's bedroom that says Sports, is the Huey Lewis and the News album poster. The album was named Sports and they're playing his song in that scene. Marty was also playing Huey's song at the audition. The guy with the megaphone who says "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis himself.
"Sports" was the name of the album that catapulted Huey Lewis and the News to fame. It came out three years before this movie....which, of course, features the group's Power of Love single.
You mentioned the butterfly effect. BTTF does address is in someways, especially in part 2 and 3 but there are minor effects in this one like Twin Pine becoming Lone Pine, how much better Marty's family is now, and a few other ones. Part 2 and 3 are definitely worth watching to round out the full story.
More of her please! It's very satisfying watching someone who catches details, understands references and overall actually knows what's happening lol I've seen many reactions (too many maybe? lol) and she's great! 👍
To echo another comment, a few thoughts at the end of things you noticed or liked helps to make it a bit better too. And yes, watch the rest. The references, and changes, they make in the background details are great!
Noted!
The teacher that says it's too loud is Huey Lewis,Marty is playing his song and he does the sound track to the movie
i love the fact that the date doc invented time travel is the same date for the gunpowder plot lol remember remember the 5th of november
"Who's that guy?"
Did she quote Grease 2?!?! That's a deep cut.
Going back a few minutes was never going to change anything.
The judge that turned down Marty was Hewey Lewis of the band, Hewey Lewis and the News
"I'm sorry, but you're just too loud."
This is Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis & The News, the same Huey Lewis who did half the songs in this movie, and the writer of the song Marty, (M.J. Fox) is playing during this scene.
Great reaction, Nicolette, you're fun to watch and hear, I love how you fold yourself into a pretzel and then comment about Marty's sleeping posture 😀 You made me subscribe... Can't wait for you to watch part 2 and 3. Please do not watch the preview for part 3 after the second film ends with "To Be Concluded..."
I was around 8yo when I first saw this, back in 1986. I'm in Finland and back then movies weren't released worldwide at the same time. I love this trilogy.
The “permit” the cop asks Doc for is in Doc’s wallet. I think that particular permit was still green back in the 50s….
That shot of Marty checking out the passing girls right next to Jennifer is almost exactly the "distracted boyfriend" meme photo, from the opposite angle.
Nicolette! You know the guy who said the music is just too darn loud? That was Huey Lewis, a rocker, who toured the world with his band playing music too darn loud. The music on the radio waking up Marty, the music played while Marty was hitching a ride on the backs of trucks, and the music Marty actually used for the audition was all Huey Lewis music. Director's inside joke!
Ironically,and tragically, Huey Lewis has lost all or almost all of his hearing.😢
I didn't know that. Kerry Livgren of Kansas has hearing damage too, and tried to warn people about listening to music too loudly.@@curtismartin2866
Marty didn't know what would happen when he hit 88. He wasn't expecting it because he accidentally turned the time circuits on
The poster in Marty's bedroom you mentioned that says Sports is the name of Huey Lewis and the News album at that time ...Huey Lewis plays a cameo role of the music judge who tells them" it's just too darn loud"...
The band judge that tells Marty’s band they’re too darn loud is actually Huey Lewis who wrote and sang “The Power of Love” among many other hit songs.
According to the novelization, Marty broke into Doc's house and became fascinated by his inventions. Doc was so impressed that they became fast friends.
Saw all 3 of these when they first came out, in my early teens. Never ever get tired of them.
loved her reaction. such a great personality! i could definitely hang with her , she seems like my kinda of people. will be watching for more from Nicolette.
Marty and Docs relationship is simple. Marty is Doc’s lab assistant
