Y’all, I KNOW NOW that she gave him her grandma’s phone number, not her own. I misunderstood because I accidentally talked over that part, which was honestly not significant anyway! It’s all good y’all!!
I love this movie. I have gone on the Back to the Future ride at Universal Studios Florida. I met Christopher Lloyd and Thomas Wilson at Comic Con. I got their autographs on Back to Future trilogy set.
There's a joke sketch on robot chicken with his dad shouting at his mother about how their son looks just like that guy she had a crush on in high school.
Except it should have already been the Lone Pine mall since Marty had already influenced it the past, seeing as how Doc had obviously been influenced by Marty in 1955 which led to him wearing the bulletproof vest.

You did a great job and you were spot on with some of your predictions. Don't let the other discourage you. Looking forward to the future with you. 👍👍👍👍
Cool reaction. Did you catch the time paradox when Marty was playing Chuck Berry's 1958 hit song "Johnny B. Goode" at the dance, and the band leader Marvin Berry rushes to the phone to call his cousin Chuck to have him hear the song that he would remember, later write and turn it into one of his biggest hits BEFORE Marty was even born? It wasn't in your video so I wasn't sure if you caught that. This movie has a lot of time paradoxes, and paradoxes (among other things) are why physicists think time traveling to the past is impossible. Traveling into the future is definitely possible, in fact happens all the time actually, but into the past...no. But I still LOVE time travel movies! Enjoyed your reaction to this one and will check out the sequels. That, and the fact you're wearing a NASA shirt, I'm hitting subscribe now! 😁
@@OGBReacts Oh, just checked your video list again, and highly recommend you watch or do a reaction video on "Interstellar". It's also a time travel movie of a sort. And one of its producers is Kip Thorne a well known theoretical physicist and professor who kept the science pretty accurate on it. Thorne was also friends with Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking. In fact Carl consulted Kip to get the science just right in Sagan's sci-fi novel "Contact", later made into a movie. Another movie you should watch or react to. Enjoy!
I don't know why, maybe it's the bud, maybe it's the alcohol, but i felt compelled to come watch your reaction to the Back to the Future trilogy. I enjoy people less than half my age, enjoying the things I enjoyed as a YOUT. "What's a 'yout'?". Not sure if you have reacted to it yet, but when you do... Also, once again THE HAIR omg
You're right, Doc Brown is mispronouncing "gigawatt" but back then nobody knew how a "giga" was supposed to be pronounced because home computing was in its infancy and that kind of computing power was years and years away, so it wasn't a commonplace prefix like it is now because nobody talked about gigabytes and stuff like that yet and it's a Latin prefix that rarely pops up in daily life otherwise. Christopher Lloyd, the actor who plays Doc, didn't know how it was supposed to be pronounced and nobody on set knew to correct him while they were filming it so it stuck.
The gigawatt pronunciation... I don't know if anybody's answered this, but you ARE correct. It's pronounced with a soft G, like gigabyte. At the time the movie was filmed, the scientist they consulted about the terminology in the script actually mispronounced it, so it ended up being mispronounced in the movie. 😂 Even in 1985 the concept of a gigabyte of data storage was absolutely UNHEARD OF, especially among the masses, so the pronunciation of the measurement "gig" wasn't common the way it is now. Kind of like in the early '00s when the masses didn't know what a terabyte was yet.
in 1985 no one in America used the "giga-" prefix. "Gigabytes" and "gigahertz" were just theoretical dreams of computer scientists, and the only thing that was similar in popular consciousness was "gigantic", therefore, a soft "g" on "gigawatts"
How cool would it be to reboot this as a series a la Doctor Who? Marty time-hops with Doc, encountering all kinds of situations, hijinks ensue. It would need perfect casting, but it could be a lot of fun.
14:02 Let me just take a moment to emphasize _this_ scene. Marty has lived in Hill Valley _all_ his life and this is the _first_ time he's heard the clock tower chime.
The "too darn loud" guy was the singer whose song Marty was playing. It's gigawatts, but pronounced "jigawatts" for the funniest reason: the writers weren't knowledgeable in science, so they went to a seminar, and they heard a German scientist pronounce it jigawatt, so they naturally assumed that was the correct way, so... it stuck. They had no consulting pros in the field of physics, or basic science, on the set.
Why does every one miss that at 5:47 and a few seconds later telling the band they're too loud...that is Huey Lewis. Huey Lewis and the News performed the sound track for this movie. He is the second one from the left.
The reason they say gigawats like that is because the person they had on set to make sure everything was accurate pronounced it wrong and so the movie got it wrong
Fun fact about this movie. Most movie studios didn't want to take a chance on it, because they thought the script wasn't sexed up enough. Except for Disney, who thought it was too sexy because of the whole mom falling for her future son thing.
The part where Biff says “Why don’t you make like a tree, and get outta here?” The correct phrase is “Make like a tree and leave,” But Biff is an idiot and gets his expressions wrong. This joke comes up in the second movie; so look for it.
@@RMBittner Uh no offense? This was not an important piece of information, the whole phone number thing. It wasn’t. It was just a point I missed. I try my best to not talk over the super important bits, and I think overall I succeed with that. I find the lows in movies and try to talk during that. God forbid I talk during a point then ask a question that had to do with the point I just talked over. I apologize but again, in this case, it really didn’t matter since the phone number had really no importance... right? Also this is my second ever reaction video. I’m only gonna learn and grow here. So please do not waste your time “getting frustrated” over someone who’s purely doing this for fun.
@@OGBReacts According to me, you were talkative in the best possible way. after all, we could say, isn't hearing someone "making assumptions" the whole point of watching a"reaction"?!? This has always been one of my favourite movies EVER, and I have to say your reaction has been one of the best I have seen so far. VERY enjoyable, subscribed! :-)
@@RMBittner Da "OG" is the least offensive in that respect. I've seen some reaction video's that will make your eye's bleed. Her commentary is germane, topical and well timed. As opposed to a few "motormouths" who think its all about them and just, WILL NOT, stfu, try" reference: natalie gold's reaction to silence of the lambs. I am actually thinking about blocking, so her posts don't come up on my feed.
Did you notice that "Twin Pines Mall" from the beginning became "Lone Pine Mall" at the end? (not many people notice this at their first watch, it takes a few times to notice it).
In 1985, the prefix "giga" was extremely rarely used, so few people were aware it even existed, let alone had any idea how to pronounce it. Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc, wasn't provided with a pronunciation guide, so he had to guess how the word was pronounced, and, as luck would have it, he guessed "jigawatts".
the gigawatt pronunciation is an old pronunciation that fell out of use in the 70s for the most part, but the scientist brought on for consution to make things sound realistic was an old timer who used the old pronunciation, and it would make sense for doc brown to use that pronunciation for te same reason.
"His name is BIFF...you KNOW he's an asshole!" (ETA: your enjoyment is like watching this amazing movie with new eyes again! Thank you for your pure and hilarious reactions! Talk all you like- isn't that why we watch the reaction, and not the actual movie?! And my stepmom- born in the very early 50's- had those things, they were called "Jumping Shoes", but I think when they came back in the mid-to-late 90s they were called "Moon Shoes")
I grew up with these movies (the first one was released around the time I turned 3), so I love watching other people's reactions the first time they see them!
No, 'Jigawatz' is not an old pronunciation for gigawatz. Back then, most people hadn't heard of that word. They didn't know how to pronounce the word correctly so the creators of the movie mispronounced it - and that pronunciation made it into the movie. Ironically, I think it actually helped the movie. The weird-sounding word just made the quantity seem huge.
The cafe scene is one of my favorite jokes. He asked for a tab, which is the name of a popular 80s diet cola, also what they called the bill for the food back then, hence why the guy said I cant give you one unless you order something, asked for a pepsi free, which was sugar free pepsi, and the guy thought he was asking for one without paying. EDIT: the Gigawatt pronounciation was a guess that stuck.
I know this is a nitpick, but the product known as Pepsi Free back in 1985 was not sugar-free; it was caffeine-free. The writers made a mistake on that one. But the joke is still funny.
Hey y’all! I’m sorry if there may have been points where I talked then asked a question about something that may have happened; I can only think of one instance in this video so far, which was the point where I had mentioned I’m surprised that she hadn’t given him her number before, but the number she was giving was her grandma’s. Honestly, this really wasn’t a big deal either way, it wasn’t like, plot-altering, but I have folks mentioning this particular point, which is totally fine! Thanks for letting me know. But yeah, my bad. I’m still learning the balance between talking and listening with these kinds of videos so bear with me! 🤪
It's cool. I actually subscribed because of how well you did. You did a pretty good job of catching yourself and paying attention to something going on in the movie. Keep it up. I predict that you will be getting a lot of movie reaction requests in the future. Quite a few of them might be a little predictable, but there will be those that require silence in order to catch the littlest detail. I have no doubt that you will find your rhythm. I enjoyed this reaction and I'm looking forward to the next.
@@alfreddaniel1994 Thank you so much for such a nice comment. I appreciate it a lot. This my second reaction video ever since I just started this series, so yeah, definitely trying to find the right flow to it all! Thank you again
Oh no, hopefully you didn't feel yelled at? I mentioned it but it was because you said to answer your questions. I was just following orders, ma'am! Believe me, in some future video, people are going to freak out that you didn't notice some detail that they love but they'll conveniently forget that they only picked up on it after watching whatever it is for the millionth time. And if you miss nothing, those same douchos are going to say you're lying about never having seen it before. You can't win with some people so don't let them discourage you, they're weirdos and I don't mean that in a good way. You're doing a great job!
@@OGBReacts If you really like time travel movies, I have a great movie for you. Well, great if you haven't seen it already; "Time Cop"(1994). I haven't seen anyone else react to it yet. If you haven't seen it, I hope you do, and like it.
@@dianem8544 oh no no no I’m not saying it because I felt yelled at lmao I’m sorry! I guess I got a lil self conscious because some, as you call them, doucho commented and said “you keep talking so much then asking questions about things that you talked over” and I’m like... did I?? I didn’t think I did except for this specific question! But again, my newbiebooty is still learning 🤪 I was just mentioning it just as like, a sidebar anyway. I tend to sorta beat myself up a bit and am kinda a perfectionist so I just try to make everyone happy 😅 can’t do that on YT though and I’m slowly learning that! Yes yes please continue to answer any questions that I ask!
I first saw this film in a movie theater the year it was released and I was 29. I still kind of miss the 1980s, when technology was less prevalent than it is today. Back then, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd were already well known in TV sitcoms (Fox in "Family Ties" as a young Republican living with his liberal parents and 2 younger sisters (he was still doing that show when filming BTF at night; he was called in to replace Eric Stoltz, a talented actor who was nevertheless considered wrong for the Marty part after filming several scenes which had to be re-shot; Lloyd a few years earlier had played a nutty, drug-addled cabbie in the cast of "Taxi." Looking those shows up might be fun if you haven't seen them.) BTF is a classic originally intended to stand by itself. The two sequels were made in response to the rave reviews and profits that this first film generated. Fox, who developed Parkinson's Disease a few years after this, now (in his 60s) heads a research foundation looking for a cure; he's married to Tracy Pollan, who had played his girlfriend in "Family Ties." Lloyd, in his 80s, is still active in TV and movies. In 1988 he played a the villain in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" about humans co-existing with cartoon characters -- another film worth reviewing, if you haven't already. BTF inspired the TV cartoon "Rick and Morty." Here are Marty and Doc in the real 2015, on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show stage: ruclips.net/video/Q0VGRlEJewA/видео.html
Yes, the pronunciation IS actually gigawatts, not "jigawatts"; the guys writing and making the film didn't know the term and got the pronunciation wrong.
Fun fact when Marty plays for the battle of the bands and the guy who stands up and says I’m afraid you’re just too loud His Real name is Huey Lewis but here’s the thing he’s not a actor he’s a musician of a band in the 80’s called Huey Lewis and the News and the song that Marty’s band plays a different edgy version of their hit song The Power of Love ❤️! Bonus thing If you go on RUclips and type in power of love official video it shows the back to the future car pull up and Doc Brown shows up to see Huey’s band play a concert and goes in and the onlookers look through the car you should check out that music video you’ll love ❤️ it!
The good thing about having a time machine is no matter how many times you screw up, you can always keep going back 10-15 minutes & trying again. That's what makes the dramatic lightning scene so ridiculously funny.
Are you saying they could go back in time and try to make the lightning plan work again if it failed...? They needed the lightning to go back in time. How could they go back and try again if they don't have the lightning or plutonium? They had one shot.
It’s also risky to do that; the more times you go back, the more of you there will be at that place in time, and the harder it will be to avoid running into yourself (à la BTTF part 2)
Dang! I see most of the best movies ever made, you reacted to in the beginning of your channel. I see you wearing NASA stuff often. Space Nerd? My gf is a scientist. In fact, literally just came from her place helping her put up a science equipment wall for her house.
Never change the way you do your videos, we want to see your reactions, that's what the video is about, if other want to listen to the film then they watching the wrong thing lol, ignore the haters, you rock 😁
I gotta tell you that I have watched dozens of reaction videos to this movie. And yours is the best. I’m gonna need to check out your Jurassic Park video.
The teacher with the bull horn who said, your just to darn loud, was Huey Lewis, from the rock group Huey Lewis and the News, the writer and singer of the song marty was playing!
If Zemeckis wanted to make another movie in the series. He could tackle how doc got the plutonium in the first place. If that doesn't scream Sci-fi heist movie. Then I don't know what does. Heck the gadgets to pull off that job must have been EPIC.
I'm sure most people would absolutely hate if they tried to revive Back to the Future because the 3rd ended it so nicely, but doing a prequel like that, telling Doc's story, would be pretty cool. I guess they could also do something similar to the Telltale game if they wanted something after 3, that had a decent plotline.
@@jturner7771 Exactly. They explained it. The Libyans gave it to him, in exchange for making a bomb for them. So a movie showing how he got the plutonium would be Him telling them he'd make a bomb for them, if they gave him the plutonium and them agreeing and giving him the plutonium. It would be about a 10 minute movie consisting of talking about something we already know. With no actual time travel involved.

On the plus side, you INSTANTLY got that Marty messed up the timeline bigtime by intervening in the car accident.
"A smaller amp and a bigger guitar" made me laugh more than expected
The Judge who said Marty was just too darn loud; he is Huey Lewis, and he wrote and preformed the title sound "Power of Love".
...and also the end titles "Back In Time"
Didn't someone at some point tell him that the song itself was too loud and he just used that line in the movie?
Yup that's Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis and the News :)
"I warned you like, 3 times"
People gonna people XD
The Irony of the teacher that said they were to load, is Huey Lewis himself who sang that song.

Fun fact about this movie. Most movie studios didn't want to take a chance on it, because they thought the script wasn't sexed up enough. Except for Disney, who thought it was too sexy because of the whole mom falling for her future son thing.
This is my fav triology of all time. I can say every line of the script to this point. Every detail is perfect in my opinion.
Marvin Berry calls his cousin Chuck while Marty is playing Johnny B Good and tells him to "listen to this!"
The part where Biff says “Why don’t you make like a tree, and get outta here?” The correct phrase is “Make like a tree and leave,” But Biff is an idiot and gets his expressions wrong. This joke comes up in the second movie; so look for it.
6:35 It's her grandma's house number, where she's staying for the weekend. That's why she's just giving it to him now.
The time before cell phones when we had to share the number for wherever we were
@@RMBittner Uh no offense? This was not an important piece of information, the whole phone number thing. It wasn’t. It was just a point I missed. I try my best to not talk over the super important bits, and I think overall I succeed with that. I find the lows in movies and try to talk during that. God forbid I talk during a point then ask a question that had to do with the point I just talked over. I apologize but again, in this case, it really didn’t matter since the phone number had really no importance... right? Also this is my second ever reaction video. I’m only gonna learn and grow here. So please do not waste your time “getting frustrated” over someone who’s purely doing this for fun.
@@OGBReacts According to me, you were talkative in the best possible way. after all, we could say, isn't hearing someone "making assumptions" the whole point of watching a"reaction"?!? This has always been one of my favourite movies EVER, and I have to say your reaction has been one of the best I have seen so far. VERY enjoyable, subscribed! :-)
@@PiadaProductionsMacTutorials Thank you so much!!
@@RMBittner Da "OG" is the least offensive in that respect. I've seen some reaction video's that will make your eye's bleed. Her commentary is germane, topical and well timed. As opposed to a few "motormouths" who think its all about them and just, WILL NOT, stfu, try" reference: natalie gold's reaction to silence of the lambs. I am actually thinking about blocking, so her posts don't come up on my feed.
You seem such an awesome person! I normally not subscribe in 1 second :-) Don't change! Greetings from an grandma from the Netherlands
Thank you so much!! Welcome on in!!
"88" looks like two infinity symbols. It's the only connection I can think of.
The top speed is 88 miles per hour...that's why.
Jennifer gave him the number to her grandmother's house...because that's where she was going to be. Teenagers didn't have cellphones in 1985 lol.
Did you notice that "Twin Pines Mall" from the beginning became "Lone Pine Mall" at the end? (not many people notice this at their first watch, it takes a few times to notice it).
Sam...when you scream....its so much FUN!!!!!
In 1985, the prefix "giga" was extremely rarely used, so few people were aware it even existed, let alone had any idea how to pronounce it. Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc, wasn't provided with a pronunciation guide, so he had to guess how the word was pronounced, and, as luck would have it, he guessed "jigawatts".
the gigawatt pronunciation is an old pronunciation that fell out of use in the 70s for the most part, but the scientist brought on for consution to make things sound realistic was an old timer who used the old pronunciation, and it would make sense for doc brown to use that pronunciation for te same reason.
"His name is BIFF...you KNOW he's an asshole!" (ETA: your enjoyment is like watching this amazing movie with new eyes again! Thank you for your pure and hilarious reactions! Talk all you like- isn't that why we watch the reaction, and not the actual movie?! And my stepmom- born in the very early 50's- had those things, they were called "Jumping Shoes", but I think when they came back in the mid-to-late 90s they were called "Moon Shoes")
🤣 Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
I grew up with these movies (the first one was released around the time I turned 3), so I love watching other people's reactions the first time they see them!
My fav trilogy
15:11 Remember how defensive George was when Lorraine asked what he was doing in the middle of the street?
No, 'Jigawatz' is not an old pronunciation for gigawatz. Back then, most people hadn't heard of that word. They didn't know how to pronounce the word correctly so the creators of the movie mispronounced it - and that pronunciation made it into the movie. Ironically, I think it actually helped the movie. The weird-sounding word just made the quantity seem huge.
But did they mispronounce it deliberately, or accidentally?
@@StoryMing No, it was accidental. They said that they didn't know how to correctly pronounce it.
The cafe scene is one of my favorite jokes. He asked for a tab, which is the name of a popular 80s diet cola, also what they called the bill for the food back then, hence why the guy said I cant give you one unless you order something, asked for a pepsi free, which was sugar free pepsi, and the guy thought he was asking for one without paying. EDIT: the Gigawatt pronounciation was a guess that stuck.
I know this is a nitpick, but the product known as Pepsi Free back in 1985 was not sugar-free; it was caffeine-free. The writers made a mistake on that one. But the joke is still funny.
@@Ernie_Centofanti That cool! I was always told it was basically diet pepsi.
Hey y’all! I’m sorry if there may have been points where I talked then asked a question about something that may have happened; I can only think of one instance in this video so far, which was the point where I had mentioned I’m surprised that she hadn’t given him her number before, but the number she was giving was her grandma’s. Honestly, this really wasn’t a big deal either way, it wasn’t like, plot-altering, but I have folks mentioning this particular point, which is totally fine! Thanks for letting me know.
But yeah, my bad. I’m still learning the balance between talking and listening with these kinds of videos so bear with me! 🤪
It's cool. I actually subscribed because of how well you did. You did a pretty good job of catching yourself and paying attention to something going on in the movie. Keep it up. I predict that you will be getting a lot of movie reaction requests in the future. Quite a few of them might be a little predictable, but there will be those that require silence in order to catch the littlest detail. I have no doubt that you will find your rhythm. I enjoyed this reaction and I'm looking forward to the next.
@@alfreddaniel1994 Thank you so much for such a nice comment. I appreciate it a lot.
This my second reaction video ever since I just started this series, so yeah, definitely trying to find the right flow to it all!
Thank you again
Oh no, hopefully you didn't feel yelled at? I mentioned it but it was because you said to answer your questions. I was just following orders, ma'am! Believe me, in some future video, people are going to freak out that you didn't notice some detail that they love but they'll conveniently forget that they only picked up on it after watching whatever it is for the millionth time. And if you miss nothing, those same douchos are going to say you're lying about never having seen it before. You can't win with some people so don't let them discourage you, they're weirdos and I don't mean that in a good way. You're doing a great job!
@@OGBReacts If you really like time travel movies, I have a great movie for you. Well, great if you haven't seen it already; "Time Cop"(1994). I haven't seen anyone else react to it yet. If you haven't seen it, I hope you do, and like it.
@@dianem8544 oh no no no I’m not saying it because I felt yelled at lmao I’m sorry! I guess I got a lil self conscious because some, as you call them, doucho commented and said “you keep talking so much then asking questions about things that you talked over” and I’m like... did I?? I didn’t think I did except for this specific question! But again, my newbiebooty is still learning 🤪 I was just mentioning it just as like, a sidebar anyway. I tend to sorta beat myself up a bit and am kinda a perfectionist so I just try to make everyone happy 😅 can’t do that on YT though and I’m slowly learning that! Yes yes please continue to answer any questions that I ask!
I've had teachers at my school who never seemed to age!
I first saw this film in a movie theater the year it was released and I was 29. I still kind of miss the 1980s, when technology was less prevalent than it is today. Back then, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd were already well known in TV sitcoms (Fox in "Family Ties" as a young Republican living with his liberal parents and 2 younger sisters (he was still doing that show when filming BTF at night; he was called in to replace Eric Stoltz, a talented actor who was nevertheless considered wrong for the Marty part after filming several scenes which had to be re-shot; Lloyd a few years earlier had played a nutty, drug-addled cabbie in the cast of "Taxi." Looking those shows up might be fun if you haven't seen them.) BTF is a classic originally intended to stand by itself. The two sequels were made in response to the rave reviews and profits that this first film generated. Fox, who developed Parkinson's Disease a few years after this, now (in his 60s) heads a research foundation looking for a cure; he's married to Tracy Pollan, who had played his girlfriend in "Family Ties." Lloyd, in his 80s, is still active in TV and movies. In 1988 he played a the villain in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" about humans co-existing with cartoon characters -- another film worth reviewing, if you haven't already. BTF inspired the TV cartoon "Rick and Morty."
Here are Marty and Doc in the real 2015, on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show stage:

"Oh, and what, that turned you on?"
Prediction #3?
"What if they disintegrate the dog?!"
Prediction #4??
The director just thought 88MPH sounded cool
Yes, the pronunciation IS actually gigawatts, not "jigawatts"; the guys writing and making the film didn't know the term and got the pronunciation wrong.
Fun fact when Marty plays for the battle of the bands and the guy who stands up and says I’m afraid you’re just too loud His Real name is Huey Lewis but here’s the thing he’s not a actor he’s a musician of a band in the 80’s called Huey Lewis and the News and the song that Marty’s band plays a different edgy version of their hit song The Power of Love ❤️! Bonus thing If you go on RUclips and type in power of love official video it shows the back to the future car pull up and Doc Brown shows up to see Huey’s band play a concert and goes in and the onlookers look through the car you should check out that music video you’ll love ❤️ it!
The good thing about having a time machine is no matter how many times you screw up, you can always keep going back 10-15 minutes & trying again. That's what makes the dramatic lightning scene so ridiculously funny.
Are you saying they could go back in time and try to make the lightning plan work again if it failed...? They needed the lightning to go back in time. How could they go back and try again if they don't have the lightning or plutonium? They had one shot.
@@Dylan_Platt Yep, I actually thought about that shortly after I posted this. You're right.
It’s also risky to do that; the more times you go back, the more of you there will be at that place in time, and the harder it will be to avoid running into yourself (à la BTTF part 2)
This screenplay is taught in film school as the perfect screen play.
That made my night
Great reaction Bo
Dang! I see most of the best movies ever made, you reacted to in the beginning of your channel. I see you wearing NASA stuff often. Space Nerd? My gf is a scientist. In fact, literally just came from her place helping her put up a science equipment wall for her house.
Yes! I love NASA/space 👀
I didnt go to the prom but I went to the after prom party.
Never change the way you do your videos, we want to see your reactions, that's what the video is about, if other want to listen to the film then they watching the wrong thing lol, ignore the haters, you rock 😁
Thanks so much ♥️
the great thing about Lorraine is she never chased boys when she was younger
I gotta tell you that I have watched dozens of reaction videos to this movie. And yours is the best. I’m gonna need to check out your Jurassic Park video.
Such a flawless screenplay
Jiga and Giga are both proper pronunciations.
The teacher with the bull horn who said, your just to darn loud, was Huey Lewis, from the rock group Huey Lewis and the News, the writer and singer of the song marty was playing!
It’s small things like this that make me love this movie
My favourite movie of all time.
If Zemeckis wanted to make another movie in the series. He could tackle how doc got the plutonium in the first place. If that doesn't scream Sci-fi heist movie. Then I don't know what does. Heck the gadgets to pull off that job must have been EPIC.
The Libyans kidnapped him and he escaped from them with it
I'm sure most people would absolutely hate if they tried to revive Back to the Future because the 3rd ended it so nicely, but doing a prequel like that, telling Doc's story, would be pretty cool. I guess they could also do something similar to the Telltale game if they wanted something after 3, that had a decent plotline.
The Libyans gave it to the Doc.
@@jturner7771 Exactly. They explained it. The Libyans gave it to him, in exchange for making a bomb for them. So a movie showing how he got the plutonium would be Him telling them he'd make a bomb for them, if they gave him the plutonium and them agreeing and giving him the plutonium. It would be about a 10 minute movie consisting of talking about something we already know. With no actual time travel involved.
