The judge who rejects Marty at the talent show for being "just too darn loud" is actually Huey Lewis, the actual original artist of the song he was playing.
And apparently "being too darn loud" is just something that sounded like the adults in his life when he was young would have said about his music and thats why he said that
Not only was George a peeping Tom, but Lorraine was also an exhibitionist, undressing right in front of the window with the curtains open. “Another one of these kids jumped in front of my car.”
Yeah she wasn’t the goodie goodie that she told her kids she was. Kinda makes you think what secrets your parents are holding or what you might not disclose to your future children.
Wow omg your comment made me realize the reason kids kept getting hit by cars in front of Lorraine’s house was because the kids were distracted looking up at Lorraine undressing in front of the window 🤯
Reminds me of that old song, “She’s a Super Freak” I think if they weren’t interrupted and Marty insisted, she would have been cool with a little Oedipus-style fun.
Thomas Wilson, who plays Biff, was himself bullied as a child, so for his character he adopted the mannerisms of the bullies he himself had had to deal with. The result is VERY convincing. In real life, Thomas Wilson is an absolute sweetheart - a common feature with great movie villains. He has also aged extremely gracefully, I might add.
It's weird to think that when our parents watched Back to the Future, in the 80s, the 1950s only felt as far back to them as the 1990s feels to us today.

You said it best when you said “things are starting to come together”. It’s a great movie to watch unfold. Really hope you watch 2 and 3 too! Great reactions! 👏 👏
I cannot begin to tell you how many times that I've watched this film/trilogy, and I **NEVER** caught on to the fact that eventhough Marty didn't get to play at his H.S. dance, he got to play at his parents' high school dance. I mean, I knew it logically, but I never got *it* before...if you get my meaning. You continue to suprise and amaze me with what you catch onto with films I've seen countless times. ❤
At the audition, Marty is deemed too darn loud. At the Enchantment Under The Sea dance, he was deemed too darn wild (and too loud by Strickland’s response). Marty is just not a mid kind of guy. 😄

I''ve watched some other reactions for this, but your commentary really makes me realize how _tight_ this script is with all the little things that pay off later on.
1. Cranky principal Strickland/James Tolkan also played the ship's squadron leader in "Top Gun". 2. The teacher that tells Marty, "Hold it fellas, I'm afraid you're just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis himself. "Heart of rock and roll" etc. They were playing a HL song. 3. Eric Stoltz was first cast as Marty, but he didn't play well with others and wasn't giving the tone they were looking for. 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. Movie magic. 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. DA🙄 7. Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall when Marty takes one of Mr. Peabody's pines out when he goes back to 1955. 8. IMVHO part II is my favorite of the trifecta. 9. If you want a first time/share of an OUTSTANDING movie where Christopher Lloyd can play anything. He plays the heavy you must do "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
You're one of the smartest reactors I've ever watched, you're very observant, you drove conclusions upon what you say and you catched stuff like the clock tower incident early in the film, you're one of the few people I've seen react this movie that immediately catched it and though that it would have a bigger importance in the movie later on. Great reaction, thanks!
I saw this as a 13 yr old in the theater in 1985, and have watched it literally 20-30 times since... but ONLY THIS TIME did I realize Doc didn't have any weather equipment permit in his wallet... he was paying the cop off. My 13 yr old brain just assumed scientist carried emergency permits around, and adult me never questioned it.😂😂
Loraine got a George who protects her, but the things that shows they're really meant to be together is that she also protected him, she intervened when Biff was about to break his arm.
Believe it or not, Kal Kan was a real dog food brand that was bought by Mars in 1968. They continued to make Kal Kan dog food until recently when the brand was temporarily? retired.
🎶 "That's The Power Of Love!" 🎶 Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Billy Zane. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Writers Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis actually received a fan letter from John DeLorean after the film's release, thanking them for immortalizing his car. Music Enthusiast Fact: The judge who stands up to say that Marty (Michael J. Fox) is "just too darn loud" is actually Huey Lewis, whose songs "The Power Of Love" and "Back In Time" are featured in this movie. Marty's (Michael J. Fox) guitar is a Ibanez black Roadstar II. Small Connection Fact: When Lorraine follows Marty (Michael J. Fox) back to Doc's house, she and Doc exchange an awkward greeting. This marks the only on-screen dialogue that Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson ever have, though they have appeared together in six movies. Historical Fact: Apparently, Ronald Reagan was amused by Doc Brown's (Christopher Lloyd) disbelief that an actor like him could become President, so much so that he had the projectionist stop and replay the scene. He also seemed to enjoy it so much that he even made a direct reference of the film in his 1986 State of the Union address: "As they said in the film Back To The Future (1985), 'Where we're going, we don't need roads.'"
Ronnie Reagan back in the day (IE the 1950s) was a decidedly B-movie type actor, so that probably would have influenced Doc Brown's view of the man's prospects as Prez. Of course, today, we have had an orange con-man as Prez, so not everything was stranger in the past! lol
One of the perfect screenplays. There were a lot of popular movies in the 80s; many are forgotten except by old guys like me. This one never has been forgotten, for the reasons you state in your conclusion.
Doesn't look like anybody has mention the name of the mall changing from "Twin Pines" to "Lone Pine". It's because he ran over one of the pine trees at the beginning.
My suspicion is that the clocks at Doc's house went on his first time travel experiment and that is why they are all uniformly wrong. Other parts of this theory do not make sense because it seems like if that was the case Doc would have known it but in the phone call to Marty he seems surprised and pleased.
I grew up in the '50's so I remember it well, but over time, there were incremental changes that accumulated unnoticed. Watching this movie in 1985, it was a shock all the way through to be presented with the vast differences. The movie captured so many nuances of how these two time periods would clash. If I was teaching American history, I would show my class this movie and It's A Wonderful Life and then talk in great detail all the elements of past society. Robert Zemeckis directed this movie and a few years later, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Both focus on the same theme, although in a totally different way. For centuries, people lived, worked, and played as close to the center of town as possible. As the car culture took hold in America, after WWII, there was a wholesale overturning of society's goals, with the life of the town/city moving out to the suburbs, leaving the bustling downtown the neglected "inner city." It was only in the 1980's the people began to realize in many ways this was a mistake.
If by some miracle you don't know this yet, watching the first part of Back to the Future and not watching the next two parts is a mortal sin.😋Only three parts show this story fully. So I hope you won't delay your viewing.
I have no doubt you'll watch 2 and 3 now. 😄 Just a heads up... Right after the end of BttF2 there's a trailer for BttF3. So, if you don't want any spoilers, stop the video there and don't watch the trailer.
And be aware that the part of Jennifer is recast with Elisabeth Shue because Claudia Wells was busy caring for her mother who was dying of cancer and she actually left acting until 2011
Silly observation that maybe no-one will care about except me: When Marty says, "You made a time machine.... out of a DeLorean?" It was actually a really big laugh line at the movie theater in 1985. At that time, the 'DeLorean scandal' was just a few years old (1982) when the founder of the DeLorean Motor Company, Jon DeLorean, was charged with cocaine trafficking and the company went defunct (he was trying to save the company by making a big cocaine deal worth 24 million). Today, a DeLorean is considered to be a cool, innovative and classic machine (not the least because of its decades of 'Back to the Future' fame - and there are no laughs when Marty delivers that line.
@@treetopjones737 Actually I don't know about that. They built about 10,000 and approximately half of them are still on the road today (43 years later)
The opening scene is arguably the greatest, smoothest approach to a movie plot and its main characters (and Doc isn't even in the scene, only his voice!) in the history of movies.
Was wishing you'd watch this movie. :D All the reactors do "Back to the Future", but I thought it would be fun to have your sensible, no-nonsense take on it, and it was. Thanks! Little bit of movie trivia: back when the movie was still in pre-production, the ending was completely different and involved a complicated sequence including a roadtrip to Nevada where nuclear bomb testing was going on at the time, and they would harvest the energy of an atomic bomb explosion to send Marty back to 1985. That didn't pan out for special effects budgetary reasons and possibly other stuff too, so instead the idea formed of the current ending, and then they could tie the ending back to the beginning of the movie with the 1985 clock tower to form a great circle and keep everything contained to their small town set, which is just so much better overall. If they'd had more money and gone with the Nevada ending, I don't think this movie would have had nearly the impact it has had. It would probably have done well and been remembered, but the harmony of beginning meeting the end meeting the beginning - it just can't be matched. Fun trivia: in the first scenes, Doc calls Marty and asks to meet him at Twin Pines Mall. Marty subsequently travels to the past, escapes the mad pine farmer's gunfire and runs over a pine in the process, more complications ensue, then he returns to 1985. Watch the glowing sign at the mall as Marty comes running on foot to save Doc from the terrorists...! :DDD Fun trivia II: California Raisins bought a product placement in the movie, and what they got for their cash was their logo on the backrest of the bench where the drunken hobo sleeps in the 1985 version of Hill Valley (which is a ridiculous name for a town, but anyway...) Of course, they weren't too happy about that lol, so they sued the movie production! I don't remember what happened after that, they probably settled out of court for something comparatively minor, then Zemeckis, Spielberg and crew went back to laughing maniacally and rolling in the piles of money their movie was bringing in. :) Conclusion: Back in the day, BttF was a kids' movie that was also for adults - with some appropriately 1980s-style adult themes, like the chronically depressed alcoholic mother, the peeping tom dad, Biff the molesting bully (played by whatsisname, Tom Wilson, isn't it? Anyway, GREAT guy, nice, super funny guy IRL - couldn't be further from Biff in the movie), and some implied incest themes just for kicks, because the 1980s was a mad, mad decade. So anyway, the kids got to have their fun, and their parents got to remember being teens in the 1950s, and now the 1980s kids have grown up and had their kids, and have had their go at being nostalgic about the 1980s scenes! :D It never ends... :)
It's not just good, it's a masterpiece. The moment George finally stands up to Biff , ,no matter how many times I watch it always gets me a little teary eyed, "I am your destiny" and of course, he was.
I loved this one. But... the second is great also and the third one will absolutely blow you away!! For real. I'm glad you had so much fun watching it. It was fun watching again... through your eyes!! As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
I saw this movie in the theaters. Their are so many scenes that really had audience have a ball.The whole thing with the mom, haha.The whole theater applauded when mcfly finally knocked biff out,and the scene when he over plays the guitar and the he opens eyes and they just looking at him,hilarious. The DeLorean cars became popular at this.This movie one of the 1980s classics.
23:24 I've seen this movie so many times, but just noticed something on the wall, to the upper left: the name Ron Woodward for senior class president. At first, I thought of Woodward and Bernstein, the journalists who uncovered the Watergate scandal... but that's Bob, not Ron. Anyway, it turns out someone named Ron Woodward worked behind the scenes in this movie as a key grip, one of the senior roles among the lighting, electrical and all the technical tasks involved in the filmmaking, allowing the director to concentrate on the artistic stuff.
Oh that Biff, what a character! Remember when he tried to murder Calvin Klein and rape your mother? What a goof! Man, the 50's were a time! Haha I love this movie so much!!! I was a little kid in the late 80's and early 90's, and my dad managed to record this movie off of TV onto a VHS tape, and I watched that thing COUNTLESS times! At least dozens of times, maybe hundreds!!! This is one of those "perfect" movies! At least, it's a 'perfect' 80's movie! I REALLY hope you're gonna watch the next two! I mean, how could you not at this point?!
It is odd that they keep Biff around, but I guess George and Lorraine are just that forgiving of people. They may have kept reminding him that if he kept up the way he used to be, it could land him in prison (where there are plenty of people who aren’t as helpless as those he bullied) or worse.
1. As Marty leaves Doc's place heading to school, he passes a Burger King fast food restaurant. IF memory serves correctly, when we meet Marty's brother for the first time, he is wearing a Burger King uniform. 2. When Doc comes back from 30 years in the future at the end, the Mr. Fusion home energy reactor on the back of the DeLorean was a play on the Mr. Coffee maker which was highly popular at that time. 3. My opinion only here but the reason the clock exploded was because Doc wrapped the cable around the clock hand to zipline down. Originally it was only connected from the lightning rod at the top of the courthouse to the lamp post at the street. Look back at Doc's "crude" model. Everything in the movie had it's purpose. I could be way off on that one but no way to ever know for sure.
LOVED your reaction!! "He's gonna get some dairy courage"...I couldn't stop laughing at your remark!! It was especially fun to see you react to how thirsty Marty's younger mom, Lorraine, was! Loved your comments throughout, and be sure to watch the entire trilogy, you won't be disappointed and I look forward to seeing more of your shared reactions!
Michael J Fox was always their first choice to play Marty, but he was initially busy with a popular 80's sitcom called "Family Ties" (where he was the breakout star) and couldn't do it. So they cast another actor named Eric Stoltz. After a few weeks, however, it was clear that Stoltz wasn't working out. He was giving a dramatic performance in what was supposed to be a comedy. They ended up having to let Stoltz go, and pleased with the producers of "Family Ties" to let Michael do the movie. The compromise they worked out was that Michael would work on the show by day and shoot the movie at night. That's why so much of the film takes place either at night or indoors. This change affected a few other roles as well. JJ Cohen was up for the role of Biff, but he wasn't seen as imposing enough next to Stoltz (who is quite a bit taller than Michael) and so Cohen ended up playing one of Biff's gang (he's the one who makes fun of Marty's jacket). Also Melora Hardin (who later played Jan on "The Office") was supposed to play Jennifer, but when Michael took over, she was seen as too tall next to him and replaced with Claudia Wells.
Probably better for Stoltz’s health, too, since he had just about reached the end of Thomas Wilson’s patience with him, and his “method acting” antics on set. Wilson is a nice, easygoing dude, so that should be a sign of how insufferable Stoltz was being.
A classic film. And a movie that established Michael J Fox as a star. And a ton of fun. Is it the deepest movie ever made? Nope. But you can't help but smile while watching it.
One of the five perfect movies in history, and you've found it. The bespectacled school official who told Marty his music was too loud was Huey Lewis, who wrote and sang the movie theme songs. It's fun to watch this with someone who catches the clues.
Once again, a super entertaining reaction! Funny, smart and pretty. I had a smile on my face the whole time. You should definitely get into the firefly TV series (there's also a movie that wraps it up) and also the movie The Abyss which is super intense. But do whatever makes you happy, we'll be here.
I've never seen a reactor who is so perceptive. This is considered one of the great movie scripts of all time, and you were one step ahead of it from start to finish.
Funny movie. With a little lesson: we know our parents according to what they told us. But if we could go back in time, what surprises could we learn about our parents. Have a nice day.
Theyre very very few trilogies that can say they're the best but the Back to The Future trilogy is by far by many people one of the best trilogies in cinema history. Enjoy the rest of the series. 😃
That was an awesome reaction! I seen this movie 3 times in the movie theater when it was released in 1985, the last time with my late brother, and it became one of his favorite movies that he would watch quite often on video. I miss him everyday. Anyways, I'm gonna recommend another classic, this one even older from 1946, but I know you would really enjoy it. It's considered a Christmas movie, but you can watch it anytime. It is ranked at #20 on the American Film Institutes list of the 100 Greatest movies ever made, and #1 on its list of the most inspirational American films of all time. The movie is called "It's A Wonderful Life", starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. I just know you will love it, and I hope you can do a reaction to it. Either way, I subscribed! Peace
👍🏾 reaction. And interview to consider watching is Frequency (2000), perhaps Backdraft (1991), or even Deja Vu (2006) If u haven't already. But u must complete this trilogy.
Well you have of course to finish the trilogy of "Back to the Future", especially the 3rd one is really good. I would also recommend "Trading Places" and then "Coming to America (there is an "Easter Egg" in the movie but you have to watch first the other movie to understand/notice)" if you havent seen them yet, they are with Eddy Murphy and very good. For Thrillers with twists I would highly recommend "The Game" and "Shutter Island". Other classics you shouldnt miss out are "Karate Kid (NOT the new one)" and "Twins (with Arnold Schwarzenegger, its a Comedy and surprisingly super good)". Karate Kid isnt just about martial arts, you will like it. Anyways I could flood you with good recommendations but I should keep it somewhat short so God bless. EDIT: Ive seen you watched "Indiana Jones 1", you really cant miss out on "Indiana Jones - The Last Crusade" which is the 3rd one and super good.
Besides the rest of the BTTF trilogy, I would like to recommend the following fun time travel movies: "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home" (1986); "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1988); and "The Spirit of '76" (1990).
The guy at the beginning with the megaphone telling them that they’re just too damn loud was Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the news which was the band that originally wrote and recorded the song in the 1980s
Hi Kayla! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Parts 2 & 3 are necessary to complete the saga, and they're just as good as this one. It'll be fun to catch up on more classic films with you. There's so many great ones. The IMDB top 100 film list is a good reference. I don't know what you've already seen, but a trip through Quentin Tarantino's films would be great starting with Pulp Fiction. Jaws and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind are great from Steven Spielberg. The Silence of the Lambs is a personal favorite. American Graffiti by George Lucas is a fun classic. Blade Runner by Ridley Scott is a classic sci-fi, and The Gladiator is great too. Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, and The Departed by Martin Scorsese. Then of course there's Stanley Kubrick's films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Dr. Strangelove, and Full Metal Jacket. Apocalypse Now and The Godfather series by Francis Ford Coppola... So many more! I'm looking forward to what you react to next. 🥂
Great fun reaction 😊 Filmed at various locations in So Cal(Mall in City of Industry Neighborhood in Pasadena location where Marty hides Delorean Chino my hometown). Its been known in the film industry as the perfect movie and used in college film making courses. Producers Bob Gale and Robert Zemetkis have said there will never another sequel while they're alive and rumor has it that it's written in their wills.... 😊
Hi Kahla,here i recommend some classics that you might like: The Fly(1986) Fright Night(1985) The Color Purple(1985) Fatal Attraction(1987) Goodfellas(1990) E.T(1982) One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest(1975) The Midnight Express(1978) The Thing(1982) Pulp Fiction(1994) Greetings from Argentina 🖐🏻
@21:43 I am currently in my studio watching this as Doc said, "...portable television studio," as I look at 4 spotlights shining on 3-green screens," thinking tell me more of a portable television studio. lmao
Great reaction as always! I was 12 when this came out, and it was one of the Important movies of my childhood. You said it, the various threads woven throughout the film have a very satisfying conclusion. The dialogue, acting, and music ain't bad either!
Love this movie since I was a child. I've been working on the universal movie lot over 20 years..I inspect and clean film before we remaster it. I go to the city and western backdrop on lunch break on a bike almost every day and just chill by the clock tower and other areas..it's still there but on the outside it looks different I think when they did ghost whisperer, among other shows to make the area look different. The original clock tower and pillars are still there though inside. They just covered the front with a different look. I love just relaxing there or the western town thinking of all the history and appreciating where I work. Honestly never noticed the mom how drunk she was in the beginning drinking vodka..she looked wasted and depressed..the good old 80s..getting drunk in front of the kids and smoking cigs at the dinner table lol...love your channel. You are very intelligent and pretty, and you have a relaxing voice ❤
HEADS UP! 😮 If you decide to watch Part 2, there is trailer for Part 3 that plays before the end credits. Just in case you don't want to be spoiled. Great video! Thanks! 😄❤
The judge who rejects Marty at the talent show for being "just too darn loud" is actually Huey Lewis, the actual original artist of the song he was playing.
Huey Lewis and The News is the band's name, yeah.
And apparently "being too darn loud" is just something that sounded like the adults in his life when he was young would have said about his music and thats why he said that
Probably just a coincidence that he looks just like the guy on that poster of the _Sports_ album cover that Marty has on his wall. 😉
That was a big deal when it came out. Huey Lewis was huge then with #1 hits. Nowadays, for later generations, it's an obscure easter egg.

It's weird to think that when our parents watched Back to the Future, in the 80s, the 1950s only felt as far back to them as the 1990s feels to us today.
As one of those 80s teens, it's radically surreal that you all feel that the 90s were that long ago. They feel relatively recent to me....

Back to the future is a perfect movie!
My favourite movie
I just noticed, after George punched Biff, Lorraine completely forgot about Calvin. Who as far as she knew, was being curb-stomped in the back alley.
You're one of the smartest reactors I've ever watched, you're very observant, you drove conclusions upon what you say and you catched stuff like the clock tower incident early in the film, you're one of the few people I've seen react this movie that immediately catched it and though that it would have a bigger importance in the movie later on.
Great reaction, thanks!
I saw this as a 13 yr old in the theater in 1985, and have watched it literally 20-30 times since... but ONLY THIS TIME did I realize Doc didn't have any weather equipment permit in his wallet... he was paying the cop off.
My 13 yr old brain just assumed scientist carried emergency permits around, and adult me never questioned it.😂😂
There’s a deleted scene where he’s seen paying off the cop lol !
Loraine got a George who protects her, but the things that shows they're really meant to be together is that she also protected him, she intervened when Biff was about to break his arm.
For someone who hasn't seen it, your very observant. Your spotting things some didn't spot even after multiple viewings.....
You can pretty much guarantee that the same trivia in every other back to the future reaction video will appear here.
Believe it or not, Kal Kan was a real dog food brand that was bought by Mars in 1968. They continued to make Kal Kan dog food until recently when the brand was temporarily? retired.

Small Connection Fact: When Lorraine follows Marty (Michael J. Fox) back to Doc's house, she and Doc exchange an awkward greeting. This marks the only on-screen dialogue that Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson ever have, though they have appeared together in six movies.
Historical Fact: Apparently, Ronald Reagan was amused by Doc Brown's (Christopher Lloyd) disbelief that an actor like him could become President, so much so that he had the projectionist stop and replay the scene. He also seemed to enjoy it so much that he even made a direct reference of the film in his 1986 State of the Union address: "As they said in the film Back To The Future (1985), 'Where we're going, we don't need roads.'"
Ronnie Reagan back in the day (IE the 1950s) was a decidedly B-movie type actor, so that probably would have influenced Doc Brown's view of the man's prospects as Prez. Of course, today, we have had an orange con-man as Prez, so not everything was stranger in the past! lol
@@lennyvalentin6485 Wow. It must really suck. I hope you get the help you need soon.
@@dougearnest7590 Dude, just go away, ok? lol
@lennyvalentin6485
Wow! Not only is DT living in your head rent free, he's the landlord. DTS much?
6? What were the other 3?(that Thompson and Loyd were in with no dialogue together)
One of the perfect screenplays. There were a lot of popular movies in the 80s; many are forgotten except by old guys like me. This one never has been forgotten, for the reasons you state in your conclusion.
There are so many great movies from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s thanks to great film makers like Spielberg and Lucas
Doesn't look like anybody has mention the name of the mall changing from "Twin Pines" to "Lone Pine". It's because he ran over one of the pine trees at the beginning.
My suspicion is that the clocks at Doc's house went on his first time travel experiment and that is why they are all uniformly wrong. Other parts of this theory do not make sense because it seems like if that was the case Doc would have known it but in the phone call to Marty he seems surprised and pleased.
I grew up in the '50's so I remember it well, but over time, there were incremental changes that accumulated unnoticed. Watching this movie in 1985, it was a shock all the way through to be presented with the vast differences. The movie captured so many nuances of how these two time periods would clash. If I was teaching American history, I would show my class this movie and It's A Wonderful Life and then talk in great detail all the elements of past society.
Robert Zemeckis directed this movie and a few years later, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Both focus on the same theme, although in a totally different way. For centuries, people lived, worked, and played as close to the center of town as possible. As the car culture took hold in America, after WWII, there was a wholesale overturning of society's goals, with the life of the town/city moving out to the suburbs, leaving the bustling downtown the neglected "inner city." It was only in the 1980's the people began to realize in many ways this was a mistake.
If by some miracle you don't know this yet, watching the first part of Back to the Future and not watching the next two parts is a mortal sin.😋Only three parts show this story fully. So I hope you won't delay your viewing.
Its amazing how many reactors are so worried about the dog. Nobody gave it a second thought in 1985.
32:09 I like how the permit Doc is looking for in his wallet is actually just a bribe to the cop.
I didn't catch that until recently.
@@bobbuethe1477 Me, neither...I wondered why the cop just left him alone!
I have no doubt you'll watch 2 and 3 now. 😄
Just a heads up... Right after the end of BttF2 there's a trailer for BttF3. So, if you don't want any spoilers, stop the video there and don't watch the trailer.
And be aware that the part of Jennifer is recast with Elisabeth Shue because Claudia Wells was busy caring for her mother who was dying of cancer and she actually left acting until 2011
Silly observation that maybe no-one will care about except me: When Marty says, "You made a time machine.... out of a DeLorean?" It was actually a really big laugh line at the movie theater in 1985. At that time, the 'DeLorean scandal' was just a few years old (1982) when the founder of the DeLorean Motor Company, Jon DeLorean, was charged with cocaine trafficking and the company went defunct (he was trying to save the company by making a big cocaine deal worth 24 million). Today, a DeLorean is considered to be a cool, innovative and classic machine (not the least because of its decades of 'Back to the Future' fame - and there are no laughs when Marty delivers that line.
And I wonder if the Cybertruck was inspired by this movie and the DeLorian.
The car was a failure before the cocaine aspect. A defunct car was the real joke.
@@treetopjones737 Actually I don't know about that. They built about 10,000 and approximately half of them are still on the road today (43 years later)
The opening scene is arguably the greatest, smoothest approach to a movie plot and its main characters (and Doc isn't even in the scene, only his voice!) in the history of movies.
His backbone is brand new... I'm dying!!!!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was wishing you'd watch this movie. :D All the reactors do "Back to the Future", but I thought it would be fun to have your sensible, no-nonsense take on it, and it was. Thanks!
Little bit of movie trivia: back when the movie was still in pre-production, the ending was completely different and involved a complicated sequence including a roadtrip to Nevada where nuclear bomb testing was going on at the time, and they would harvest the energy of an atomic bomb explosion to send Marty back to 1985. That didn't pan out for special effects budgetary reasons and possibly other stuff too, so instead the idea formed of the current ending, and then they could tie the ending back to the beginning of the movie with the 1985 clock tower to form a great circle and keep everything contained to their small town set, which is just so much better overall.
If they'd had more money and gone with the Nevada ending, I don't think this movie would have had nearly the impact it has had. It would probably have done well and been remembered, but the harmony of beginning meeting the end meeting the beginning - it just can't be matched.
Fun trivia: in the first scenes, Doc calls Marty and asks to meet him at Twin Pines Mall. Marty subsequently travels to the past, escapes the mad pine farmer's gunfire and runs over a pine in the process, more complications ensue, then he returns to 1985. Watch the glowing sign at the mall as Marty comes running on foot to save Doc from the terrorists...! :DDD
Fun trivia II: California Raisins bought a product placement in the movie, and what they got for their cash was their logo on the backrest of the bench where the drunken hobo sleeps in the 1985 version of Hill Valley (which is a ridiculous name for a town, but anyway...) Of course, they weren't too happy about that lol, so they sued the movie production! I don't remember what happened after that, they probably settled out of court for something comparatively minor, then Zemeckis, Spielberg and crew went back to laughing maniacally and rolling in the piles of money their movie was bringing in. :)
Conclusion:
Back in the day, BttF was a kids' movie that was also for adults - with some appropriately 1980s-style adult themes, like the chronically depressed alcoholic mother, the peeping tom dad, Biff the molesting bully (played by whatsisname, Tom Wilson, isn't it? Anyway, GREAT guy, nice, super funny guy IRL - couldn't be further from Biff in the movie), and some implied incest themes just for kicks, because the 1980s was a mad, mad decade. So anyway, the kids got to have their fun, and their parents got to remember being teens in the 1950s, and now the 1980s kids have grown up and had their kids, and have had their go at being nostalgic about the 1980s scenes! :D
It never ends... :)
It's not just good, it's a masterpiece. The moment George finally stands up to Biff , ,no matter how many times I watch it always gets me a little teary eyed, "I am your destiny" and of course, he was.
This is an all time classic. Still waiting for my flying car that runs on garbage from 2015… Any day now. Glad you liked it!
Honestly, I have never seen anyone predict the events of this movie with such amazing accuracy. So impressive! Sure you never saw it before ..? ;-)
I loved this one. But... the second is great also and the third one will absolutely blow you away!! For real.
I'm glad you had so much fun watching it. It was fun watching again... through your eyes!!
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
you recap at the end is exactly spot on in my opinion. i had so much fun rewatching it and miss that feeling in current entertainment.
I saw this movie in the theaters. Their are so many scenes that really had audience have a ball.The whole thing with the mom, haha.The whole theater applauded when mcfly finally knocked biff out,and the scene when he over plays the guitar and the he opens eyes and they just looking at him,hilarious. The DeLorean cars became popular at this.This movie one of the 1980s classics.
23:24 I've seen this movie so many times, but just noticed something on the wall, to the upper left: the name Ron Woodward for senior class president.
At first, I thought of Woodward and Bernstein, the journalists who uncovered the Watergate scandal... but that's Bob, not Ron. Anyway, it turns out someone named Ron Woodward worked behind the scenes in this movie as a key grip, one of the senior roles among the lighting, electrical and all the technical tasks involved in the filmmaking, allowing the director to concentrate on the artistic stuff.
Oh that Biff, what a character! Remember when he tried to murder Calvin Klein and rape your mother? What a goof! Man, the 50's were a time!
Haha I love this movie so much!!! I was a little kid in the late 80's and early 90's, and my dad managed to record this movie off of TV onto a VHS tape, and I watched that thing COUNTLESS times! At least dozens of times, maybe hundreds!!! This is one of those "perfect" movies! At least, it's a 'perfect' 80's movie! I REALLY hope you're gonna watch the next two! I mean, how could you not at this point?!
It is odd that they keep Biff around, but I guess George and Lorraine are just that forgiving of people. They may have kept reminding him that if he kept up the way he used to be, it could land him in prison (where there are plenty of people who aren’t as helpless as those he bullied) or worse.
1. As Marty leaves Doc's place heading to school, he passes a Burger King fast food restaurant. IF memory serves correctly, when we meet Marty's brother for the first time, he is wearing a Burger King uniform. 2. When Doc comes back from 30 years in the future at the end, the Mr. Fusion home energy reactor on the back of the DeLorean was a play on the Mr. Coffee maker which was highly popular at that time. 3. My opinion only here but the reason the clock exploded was because Doc wrapped the cable around the clock hand to zipline down. Originally it was only connected from the lightning rod at the top of the courthouse to the lamp post at the street. Look back at Doc's "crude" model. Everything in the movie had it's purpose. I could be way off on that one but no way to ever know for sure.
LOVED your reaction!!
"He's gonna get some dairy courage"...I couldn't stop laughing at your remark!!
It was especially fun to see you react to how thirsty Marty's younger mom, Lorraine, was! Loved your comments throughout, and be sure to watch the entire trilogy, you won't be disappointed and I look forward to seeing more of your shared reactions!
Michael J Fox was always their first choice to play Marty, but he was initially busy with a popular 80's sitcom called "Family Ties" (where he was the breakout star) and couldn't do it.
So they cast another actor named Eric Stoltz. After a few weeks, however, it was clear that Stoltz wasn't working out. He was giving a dramatic performance in what was supposed to be a comedy. They ended up having to let Stoltz go, and pleased with the producers of "Family Ties" to let Michael do the movie.
The compromise they worked out was that Michael would work on the show by day and shoot the movie at night. That's why so much of the film takes place either at night or indoors.
This change affected a few other roles as well. JJ Cohen was up for the role of Biff, but he wasn't seen as imposing enough next to Stoltz (who is quite a bit taller than Michael) and so Cohen ended up playing one of Biff's gang (he's the one who makes fun of Marty's jacket). Also Melora Hardin (who later played Jan on "The Office") was supposed to play Jennifer, but when Michael took over, she was seen as too tall next to him and replaced with Claudia Wells.
I like Eric Stoltz a lot, Some Kind of Wonderful is one of my favorite movies, but they absolutely made the right decision casting Michael J. Fox.
Probably better for Stoltz’s health, too, since he had just about reached the end of Thomas Wilson’s patience with him, and his “method acting” antics on set. Wilson is a nice, easygoing dude, so that should be a sign of how insufferable Stoltz was being.
A classic film. And a movie that established Michael J Fox as a star. And a ton of fun. Is it the deepest movie ever made? Nope. But you can't help but smile while watching it.
To be precise, as a movie star. He was already a big television star, as the most popular character on _Family Ties,_ Alex P. Keaton.
@@0okamino That's fair. I mostly remember watching this movie as a kid with family. So when I saw him later it was always "The guy from BttF."
I'ts a pleasure to rewatch this with you. It's a great trilogy. Good luck with your channel!
This was always one of my favorites😉 Ya know it's a real good thing Doc Brown wasn't a MAD scientist!🙄😂
This has to be the best Back to the Future reaction I've seen yet - Well Done - Thank you so much :)
"His backbone is brand new, he just got it."
I'm ROLLING 😂😂
You got another subscriber here too
The guy telling Marty their song was "too darn loud" is the actual musician of the song.... which I see a dozen people have mentioned.
One of the five perfect movies in history, and you've found it.
The bespectacled school official who told Marty his music was too loud was Huey Lewis, who wrote and sang the movie theme songs.
It's fun to watch this with someone who catches the clues.
I would out Casablanca in that list of 5 perfect movies. What are your other 4?
There is 4 more? I’m curious what they are and if I have seen them.
Your reactions are so fun! I'm subscribed now. Can't wait to see what you react to next!! Keep smiling👍🙂
Thanks so much, and thanks for subbing!
I wonder what George thinks when _Star Trek_ and _Star Wars_ came out.
"I can't believe Darth Vader from Vulcan visited Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas too!"
@@Filbi Hahaha! "I guess they wrote their stuff; I can too!"
Run from your momma 😂😂😂
My favorite reactor and my favorite movie. This should be good!
Your conclusion about movies today...You 100% nailed it!!!
Once again, a super entertaining reaction! Funny, smart and pretty. I had a smile on my face the whole time. You should definitely get into the firefly TV series (there's also a movie that wraps it up) and also the movie The Abyss which is super intense. But do whatever makes you happy, we'll be here.
The sequels just get better.
I've never seen a reactor who is so perceptive. This is considered one of the great movie scripts of all time, and you were one step ahead of it from start to finish.
Funny movie. With a little lesson: we know our parents according to what they told us. But if we could go back in time, what surprises could we learn about our parents. Have a nice day.
Theyre very very few trilogies that can say they're the best but the Back to The Future trilogy is by far by many people one of the best trilogies in cinema history. Enjoy the rest of the series. 😃
That was an awesome reaction! I seen this movie 3 times in the movie theater when it was released in 1985, the last time with my late brother, and it became one of his favorite movies that he would watch quite often on video. I miss him everyday.
Anyways, I'm gonna recommend another classic, this one even older from 1946, but I know you would really enjoy it. It's considered a Christmas movie, but you can watch it anytime. It is ranked at #20 on the American Film Institutes list of the 100 Greatest movies ever made, and #1 on its list of the most inspirational American films of all time. The movie is called
"It's A Wonderful Life", starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. I just know you will love it, and I hope you can do a reaction to it. Either way, I subscribed!
Peace
Great reaction video! I enjoyed your reactions (this is one of my all-time favourite movies)!
👍🏾 reaction. And interview to consider watching is Frequency (2000), perhaps Backdraft (1991), or even Deja Vu (2006) If u haven't already. But u must complete this trilogy.
There aren't nearly enough reaction videos for "Frequency."
@bobbuethe1477 yes, it's such a reaction worthy movie.
george WAS birdwatching, if you consider "bird" is sometimes used as slang to refer to a young woman
Well you have of course to finish the trilogy of "Back to the Future", especially the 3rd one is really good. I would also recommend "Trading Places" and then "Coming to America (there is an "Easter Egg" in the movie but you have to watch first the other movie to understand/notice)" if you havent seen them yet, they are with Eddy Murphy and very good.
For Thrillers with twists I would highly recommend "The Game" and "Shutter Island".
Other classics you shouldnt miss out are "Karate Kid (NOT the new one)" and "Twins (with Arnold Schwarzenegger, its a Comedy and surprisingly super good)". Karate Kid isnt just about martial arts, you will like it.
Anyways I could flood you with good recommendations but I should keep it somewhat short so God bless.
EDIT: Ive seen you watched "Indiana Jones 1", you really cant miss out on "Indiana Jones - The Last Crusade" which is the 3rd one and super good.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It was a pleasure to watch it with you.
I hope you do the other two.
Later!
When you watch the 2nd one end the video when it says To Be Concluded so you don't get any spoilers for the 3rd one. Very Important
How you only just coming to this masterpiece now🤯
Besides the rest of the BTTF trilogy, I would like to recommend the following fun time travel movies: "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home" (1986); "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1988); and "The Spirit of '76" (1990).
The guy at the beginning with the megaphone telling them that they’re just too damn loud was Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the news which was the band that originally wrote and recorded the song in the 1980s
Wonderful. - You have a new subscriber.
Me too! :D
Hi Kayla! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Parts 2 & 3 are necessary to complete the saga, and they're just as good as this one. It'll be fun to catch up on more classic films with you. There's so many great ones. The IMDB top 100 film list is a good reference. I don't know what you've already seen, but a trip through Quentin Tarantino's films would be great starting with Pulp Fiction. Jaws and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind are great from Steven Spielberg. The Silence of the Lambs is a personal favorite. American Graffiti by George Lucas is a fun classic. Blade Runner by Ridley Scott is a classic sci-fi, and The Gladiator is great too. Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, and The Departed by Martin Scorsese. Then of course there's Stanley Kubrick's films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Dr. Strangelove, and Full Metal Jacket. Apocalypse Now and The Godfather series by Francis Ford Coppola... So many more! I'm looking forward to what you react to next. 🥂
Great fun reaction 😊 Filmed at various locations in So Cal(Mall in City of Industry Neighborhood in Pasadena location where Marty hides Delorean Chino my hometown). Its been known in the film industry as the perfect movie and used in college film making courses. Producers Bob Gale and Robert Zemetkis have said there will never another sequel while they're alive and rumor has it that it's written in their wills.... 😊
Watched this when it was new in the theater and, I love it right away. On my list, I place this in the top 100 movies of all time (smile ... smile).
Great React! I hope U'll wiew all this perfect 80's trilogy
I appreciate the street neighbor safety message casually throw in there

My favorite movie! Great reaction btw.
This movie is part of a trilogy. You simply MUST watch (and react to) parts 2 and 3 as well. I enjoyed watching this again with you!
5:50
“This sounds like school kid stuff!”
Wait til you see them in school!
🤣
Omg I have been waiting for this on another small channel but now i can watch the reaction on this channel
@21:43 I am currently in my studio watching this as Doc said, "...portable television studio," as I look at 4 spotlights shining on 3-green screens," thinking tell me more of a portable television studio. lmao
Loved this reaction. ❤
I was a child when I saw this movie on TV at the sweet 90's. George McFly is my fav character.
Great reaction as always! I was 12 when this came out, and it was one of the Important movies of my childhood. You said it, the various threads woven throughout the film have a very satisfying conclusion. The dialogue, acting, and music ain't bad either!
Favorite movies, one of the best from universal imo
Love this movie since I was a child. I've been working on the universal movie lot over 20 years..I inspect and clean film before we remaster it. I go to the city and western backdrop on lunch break on a bike almost every day and just chill by the clock tower and other areas..it's still there but on the outside it looks different I think when they did ghost whisperer, among other shows to make the area look different. The original clock tower and pillars are still there though inside. They just covered the front with a different look. I love just relaxing there or the western town thinking of all the history and appreciating where I work. Honestly never noticed the mom how drunk she was in the beginning drinking vodka..she looked wasted and depressed..the good old 80s..getting drunk in front of the kids and smoking cigs at the dinner table lol...love your channel. You are very intelligent and pretty, and you have a relaxing voice ❤
You pick up on a lot of details when watching a movie. I like it.
I have a lot of 80s Movies at Home. It was a good Time for good Movies. I am sure you will find more Classics of this Era. Good Luck.😃
Great, great reaction!
Awesome reaction!
HEADS UP! 😮 If you decide to watch Part 2, there is trailer for Part 3 that plays before the end credits. Just in case you don't want to be spoiled.
Great video! Thanks! 😄❤
