Yes! You can see him weighing his options before he draws the line in the sand. Probably bullied his whole life by Biff and his goons up until this point. He knew that doing the right thing might cost him not just emotionally, but physically, if he failed (not to mention the terrible fate that awaited Loraine), but he took that chance anyway because it was the right thing to do. True bravery in the face of his tormentor. Just love this scene so much.
A big part of it was Marty getting him to rehearse the line. And so when George confronted Biff, he didn’t know what else to say. But Marty had pumped him up enough to actually go through with it even when it was Biff instead. Can I just say that this movie is absolutely incredible and perfect?
The absolute best part of this movie is how George standing up for himself one time changed his entire life. And you don’t even know it until Marty goes back to the future and finds out his life is totally different. Sometimes, all it takes is one moment of manning up to change everything.
My theory is that the first time, biff wasn’t in the car it was Marty and because the situation wasn’t real she fell in love with this idea of a badass George McFly but she soon realized he was a wimp when he didn’t stand up to biff the next day and got she stuck with george. But since this time the situation is real and not fabricated she falls in love with the badass George mcfly who is actually badass and stands up for himself.
@logicaldude3611 I guess the advice from Goldie Wilson helped George telling him to stand up for himself even though I'm sure Goldie saw and heard Biff bullying George a second time in the Cafe where Biff said to George, "hey McFly, I told you to never come in here again and now it's going to cost you" and even though Goldie wasn't the owner of the Cafe, I can only hope that the owner Lou Carrather's banned Biff from entering the Cafe.
Biff himself would have been taught a disciplinary lesson after being bashed by George McFly? in the sequel, we see Mr Strickland get tough against Biff, which proves that the teachers also hated Biff and wanted him disciplined.
@@yiannisdanatzis2889 Plus, even though the principal Mr. Strickland hated Biff too I'm sure, I could only hope if he saw George punch Biff that he wouldn't arrange for George to get suspended or a detention for punching on school grounds. Also yes, I remember Mr. Strickland confronting Biff on the second film for having an attitude carrying a Sports magazine of women and assuming Biff was drinking liquor after smelling it around him which was true even though Biff said that he was underage to drink liquor.
@@newgwg In the Telltale Game there's the dialogue Marty has with George where he says " About Biff,Dad, I know your trying to help." "He talks a big game son but he's not so tough. I've been dealing with him a long time. Believe me I can handle him." "So can I" "I guess you can, okay son I'll stay out of your way. But you know where to find me." "Dad "Problem?" marty shakes his head yes and nudges towards Biff) "Biff?" "He's got this thing see and I really need to get it back." "If he stole something from you!-" George still retains that fire when his family is in trouble. Even when Biff acts like his usual self since part 2 he always cowers to George if George is angered.
He's absolutely brilliant playing George. Every time I see him delivering that line he gives me chills. You can feel the fear in his voice for what he's about to do.
1:48 This is why I love Loraine. She didn’t just whimper and cry for Biff to stop twisting George’s arm. When she jumped on him, it gave George his chance to land that punch.
@@Adamguy2003 Crispin Glover is just a really good actor; you can almost see the adrenaline pumping through his veins which would allow a TKO punch to land like that.
Crispin Glover is honestly amazing in this scene. The overwhelming nerves when he tells Biff to leave her alone, the shock and anger watching Biff push her down, the awe and shaking of his hand after punching him, amazed at what he did, then immediately checking on Lorraine to see that she was okay. Just terrific and he sells this scene 100%
What made the difference in George was realizing this wasn’t just a set-up anymore. His friend Marty isn’t there like planned. Nobody is faking anything to set up a meet-cute. This is an assault in progress, and nobody else is around. Lorraine, though terrified, had the courage to try to help George…and got roughly shoved to the ground for her trouble. That’s it. The weak “nice guy” can’t run, can’t hide, can’t tolerate this guy hurting anyone else anymore. And…he learns big bad Biff Tannen had a glass jaw this whole time…. Nice guys don’t start fights, but if you’re gonna fight you better finish them.
I think it was when Biff was laughing at Lorraine that really got to George. It was like Biff was rejoicing at poor Lorraine's predicament and subsequent misery that made him strike out.
When the girl you love is in danger, that is all the incentive you need. Remember, he used to watch her from that tree putting on her clothing. It was him falling out of it that led to marty being hit by the car and not him as it was before.
@@stevenwilson6523 Yes, most likely George must have felt embarrassed how Goldie was talking to him when Goldie said to stand up for himself against Biff and his friends so nobody in life would walk all over him.
George became a man and a gentleman at the same time, which made me realize that this wasn't part of Marty's plans when Biff showed up, but I believe it's actually what George needed for his self-esteem.
@@mikecantreed I know that. What I'm saying is that Marty's life back in 1985 was somewhere between ok and dysfunctional. In the 1950's with the time machine, Marty's existence was on the line of being erased when his parents weren't destined to meet each other and George was a socially awkward teenager who couldn't talk to teenage girls. Marty had to not only set things right before going back home, but improve his father's self-confidence and the unexpected new family's lifestyle in 1985.
@@mikecantreed What you're saying is true. Marty was trying to get back home in his timeline. What I meant is that if Marty didn't mess up his parents contact for the first time in the 1950's, then he won't have to create the perfect setup for another "love at first sight" moment between his parents.
Can we just give it up to Crispin Glover for his insanely amazing acting creating one of the most iconic characters of all time? That is why 2 and 3 just will never be the first.......what they did replacing him was foolish IMO. He is a BIG part along with Christopher LLoyd why this film is just so special. What a performance. Nobody else could be George McFly.
Pauline Kael in her review singles out Glover's performance for its idiosyncratic perfection. In this scene, I love how his excitement and happiness over knocking out Biff changes so quickly to concern for Lorraine. The believability of all the emotions he has to show in such a short amount of time is truly great acting.
At the same time, Crispin Glover was greedy, he wanted to gain more money than the others like if he was the true star of the film, that’s why he eventually was replaced.
@@teencritik5512 not exactly. There was a dispute on the ending of the first movie, Crispin raised some moral concerns because he didn't want to show more money/rich family = happiness. Zemeckis didn't want to change the end of the movie for him. HE also did ask to be paid the same of Michael J. Fox, which seems a bit much.
We've all had a similar moment. I never saved anyone but I punched my bully out in 8th grade and it's still one of the things I'm most proud of to this day. Not a single teacher cared because he gave so many people a hard time. Yet I actually felt really bad for him at first because it's not like me to do something like this, he just kept shoving me and I'd had enough
I sort of had a similar incident. This one kid kept teasing me in the 2nd grade and wouldn't stop. The gym teacher did nothing. Told me to ignore him. The kid continued to tease me and got me all distraught. I literally had a crying meltdown. Then he's in my 3rd grade math class. He refused to do his work one day and the teacher kicked him out. Then later in the year, we had this really strict substitute teacher. The kid again refused to do his work, and the teacher snapped, gave him 12 checkmarks, and kicked him out.
Good for you both for standing up for yourselves. The world tells you that you’re strong for taking it and thinking karma will take care of things. But at the end of the day you gotta do it for yourself.
Mine kept nagging me about how my mom would wait outside with me for the school bus. I told him to stop but he kept going and I finally delivered a fatal blow with raising a hand. I told him, “My mom does that because she loves me. Does your mom love you?” He was just silent and after that, he left me alone.
I love George’s reaction after Biff hits the deck. He can’t believe what he was able to do…..it’s such an awesome and moving moment of self-actualization and self-respect. I think we all can relate to that feeling in our lives at some point or another. Gotta love Tom Wilson though, he plays the part of the buffoonish bully to perfection. And we wouldn’t have _”Hey Butthead!”,_ without him, as he improvised it as it wasn’t in the original script. Film’s an absolute classic.
Biff is a monster. He would've seriously hurt Lorraine if George hadn't shown up. We see Biff become more and more evil as the series goes on. He's not just an annoying bully but a truly sick dangerous person
I am glad Marty played the guitar for Marvin Berry. It was only fair as poor Marvin hurt his hand getting him out of the boot of his car. I know Marty had to so his parents connected, but of course the Starlighters did not know for a fact that was true when he tells them. It also meant they could finish their gig at the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance that they had promised to do for people who had got tickets to the event.
Mercy is for the weak, we do not train to be merciful here. Here, on the streets, in competition, if a man faces you, he is the enemy, and enemy deserves no mercy!
I like a lot about this scene, but as a kid, I didn't fully appreciate that he's amazed in the aftermath of his successful punch, and could've easily gotten lost in his giddy gleefulness. But instead he realizes that Lorraine's safety and feelings, as the victim of Biff's attempted assault, are the important thing to focus on rather than his triumph. So he puts that aside and asks her if she's okay and helps her up. As an adult, I really appreciate that little nuance, it really adds to the scene and speaks to his character growth.
I remember having goosebumps watching this scene in a movie theater during bttf marathon. When George did the punch, the whole audience were cheering loud. That was an amazing experience.
I always wondered why George hired Biff to wax his car, after he almost sexually assaulted Lorraine. Also, Lorraine never seems uncomfortable by having Biff lingering around.
To keep an eye on him. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. For nothing else to keep tabs on him. If he tries anything, George will be ready for him. Firm believer in "know your enemy"
"Family Guy" had a skit about George bringing up the fact that the kid they named Marty looks a whole lot like the guy they knew named Marty and promptly divorces her.
Lorraine's not uncomfortable with Biff waxing the car or hanging around, because the new version of George Mcfly, after Marty changed things, will protect Lorraine, and deck Biff again if he ever tried anything.
@trinaq Maybe sometime after High School, Biff apologized to George and Lorraine for all the trouble he caused explaining how he has started acting mature now. Otherwise maybe Marty somehow changed the past making Biff kind hearted especially since Biff was on a last name basis with the McFly family in 1985.
I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but the way George whimpers when he's getting his arm twisted is so damn funny. Crispin did such a good job playing him.
I am so glad it was Biff who got in the car only to get TKO'd by George. Because George got to stand up against a guy who genuinely hated him, no act required. If Marty's plan went all the way through and George hit his own future son instead, George wouldn't have known what it was like to grow a pair in a real scenario, and it would've messed up the time continuum like crazy.
@KarateGirl999 Yes, the advice from Goldie Wilson must have helped George. Regarding George hitting Marty, that was the whole idea Marty wanted George to do. It wasn't supposed to be like that because it was all planned for Marty to make sure he gets his mom and dad dating at the dance which he thought he succeeded but, Lorraine wanted to date Marty so Marty had to come up with a plan acting like he was there to date her but George comes to the rescue like he's saying "that's my date not yours."
You know what? I keep forgetting about him playing the Thin Man. I've seen Charlie's Angels 1 and 2 so many times. It's just I don't see him doing many film projects.
It's been so long since I've seen this movie that I swore I remember biff slapping Lorraine instead of just pushing her. Says a lot that was enough to set George off to drop Biff
From the moment of that punch the chain reaction of Biff's bullying of George stopped.. History changed for the better. Lorraine fell in love with George. It was the 1st of 3 chain reactions in the trilogy. The 2nd was when Marty burned the almnac in BTT2. When he did that all the events from Biff's 1st bet stopped and never took place. The 3rd was in BTT3 when Marty reversed at the car race. He never crashed into the Rolls Royce and never had that accident.
This moment and the moment Biff crashes into a manure truck would have put a big dent in Biff's life, no way he will ever want to remember such year when a mysterious boy came along and helped George McFly improve his life.
I hope this does not sound lame, but I think George, and all of us do, have greatness in us and sometimes it needs something to bring it out of us. Obviously in the original timeline, nothing of note had happened to George in order for this to happen to him.
“No Biff, you leave her alone” gets me every time. He looks so damn scared when he notices it’s Biff. You can feel that 99% of the voice in his head is telling him to get the hell out of there. But he listens to that 1% that tells him to man up. Even if he had lost the fight, it’s one of the major “grow some gigantic balls” moments in cinema history. Love this movie.
And thus George McFly became class president, accomplished his dream and got married with Lorraine and had kids, they have been nicer and healthier and, George and Lorraine went easy on Marty when he accidentally set fire on a rug in their house, Dave and Linda have successful jobs and Marty has the car he’s been wanting. Biff, on the other hand, left George alone and ended his bullying and became nicer, he started his own auto detailing business and was no longer disrespectful towards anyone.
George’s conscience: All the times you called me names, belittled me, made me do your homework, twisting my arm and now laughing at me… Boom…. Now you will wash my car!! Yeah! Yeah! YEAH! George, there’s a women down there. Pick her up. “Are you OK?!” Yeah, George, you’re bad.
It just occurs to me that this encounter is the sort of thing you could have in a western. It seems a shame when they did Back to the future part 3 there was no instance of someone having to physically fight Buford Tannen in order to rescue a lady from him. I know he does come on to Clara - but it seems a shame He does not have to be fought with like Biff is here. It occurs to me it could have worked with Doc Brown having to fight with Buford to save Clara from him. I know Buford used to pick on Seamus McFly - it occurs to me maybe one of the reasons for this was he could have had designs on Seamus's wife Maggie. I know this is not made clear in the film, but the book does say that he did used to pick on Marty's great grandfather Seamus.
Here is something funny if it happened after 2:16: Mr. Strickland (walking by in the parking lot): McFly you slacker, you are suspended for punching Biff Tannen and knocking him out on the school grounds. George: Mr. Strickland, you are aware that Biff has been bullying me and he was attacking Lorraine physically and I had to defend she and I. Lorraine: It's the truth Mr. Strickland, George was saving me from Biff. Mr. Strickland: I understand Biff was a bully and a slacker but McFly you still punched on school grounds and are on a suspension for two weeks. Leave the school now or I'll make it three weeks. Marty: Oh no, my mom and dad never dated at the dance together as was supposed to happen. Now I'm fading away out of existence like my brother and sister are in the picture.
Everyone talks about the punch, but "No, Biff, you leave her alone" is the first moment George mans up.
Exactly right.
I concur.
Yeah true
Yes! You can see him weighing his options before he draws the line in the sand. Probably bullied his whole life by Biff and his goons up until this point.

I agree. The violins in sync with him helping her up in one swoop. **chefs kiss**
Especially when George gentlemanly helps Lorraine to her feet and the two fall in love afterwards.
I love how Crispin does two false starts before finally delivering the line “no Biff, you leave her alone.” Beautiful little nervous touch.

@@georgezee5173 It's a shame what the filmmakers did to him. Lucky he won that lawsuit.
Another little touch that I like: even though his voice shakes and he’s scared, he doesn’t think once about shutting the door and walking away. 🥹
My dad told me that when George punched Biff, the whole theater applauded.
i was 12 at the time. and trust me, they did.
I was 10. We all did!
Was there also laughing when Biff crashed into the manure truck?
I was 6 and this happened
It was great to re-live that dynamic at the musical
Yes, it's always such a cathartic moment whenever George punches out Biff. The "Are you Okay?" and Lorraine gazing at him always gets me.
That was his moment of confidence.
Seeing George knock out Biff is one of the sweetest moments of BTTF 1.

Oh, yeah. Turn your weakness into a strength.
Yes, it is. Good wins always.
Karma is a myth aka a fantastic lie
Agree
Indeed yes
That is the most satisfying punch in the history of cinema
I'd say so.
A runner- up in that regard would be Hermione punching out Draco in 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.'

Mr. Miyagi: "Let him go. I said let him go!"
Mercy is for the weak, we do not train to be merciful here. Here, on the streets, in competition, if a man faces you, he is the enemy, and enemy deserves no mercy!
You can practically see the stars spinning above Biff's head
I love how he composes himself for her ..." are you ok"
I❤ BIFF
I like a lot about this scene, but as a kid, I didn't fully appreciate that he's amazed in the aftermath of his successful punch, and could've easily gotten lost in his giddy gleefulness. But instead he realizes that Lorraine's safety and feelings, as the victim of Biff's attempted assault, are the important thing to focus on rather than his triumph. So he puts that aside and asks her if she's okay and helps her up. As an adult, I really appreciate that little nuance, it really adds to the scene and speaks to his character growth.
Aaaaw he reminds me of me dad. So calm for YEARS but when he have to... BAM!
i love this line when this baby reaches 80 miles per hour your gunna see some serious sh**
88
One of the greatest moments in cinema history.
Looks like George had it in him this whole time
He just needed to face Biff.
@@Metalman200xdamnitso biff helped him to gain that without realizing?
@sridrawings4510 Yes
I remember having goosebumps watching this scene in a movie theater during bttf marathon. When George did the punch, the whole audience were cheering loud. That was an amazing experience.
I always wondered why George hired Biff to wax his car, after he almost sexually assaulted Lorraine. Also, Lorraine never seems uncomfortable by having Biff lingering around.
To keep an eye on him. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. For nothing else to keep tabs on him. If he tries anything, George will be ready for him.
Firm believer in "know your enemy"
"Family Guy" had a skit about George bringing up the fact that the kid they named Marty looks a whole lot like the guy they knew named Marty and promptly divorces her.
Lorraine's not uncomfortable with Biff waxing the car or hanging around, because the new version of George Mcfly, after Marty changed things, will protect Lorraine, and deck Biff again if he ever tried anything.
@trinaq Maybe sometime after High School, Biff apologized to George and Lorraine for all the trouble he caused explaining how he has started acting mature now. Otherwise maybe Marty somehow changed the past making Biff kind hearted especially since Biff was on a last name basis with the McFly family in 1985.
Because Biff was harmless once George had made him his bi*** and publicly embarrassed him like that 😂🤷🏻♂️
This scene and “The Vision of your happiness, woah”(George and Lorraine’s kiss) are the 2 BEST scenes of this whole movie!
I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but the way George whimpers when he's getting his arm twisted is so damn funny. Crispin did such a good job playing him.
"I GOTTA GO, I'VE GOT ONE CHANCE, MY OLD MAN IS ABOUT TO DECK BIFF!!!"
With his left hand no less.
Biff got what he deserved
I never realized that it was weed they were smoking 🤣🤣🤣
Same when I was a kid. Skinhead's line might have been the first time I heard the term "reefer."
What the hell are you doing to my car!!?? LOL
Back To The Future Part 1 (1955) Biff's Defeat
1:26 Ahhh My Arm
2:08 Boom Your Nose
And jaw
He goes from George Mcfly to George foreman
Say what you want about crispin glover...
I think hes an amazing actor
I am so glad it was Biff who got in the car only to get TKO'd by George. Because George got to stand up against a guy who genuinely hated him, no act required. If Marty's plan went all the way through and George hit his own future son instead, George wouldn't have known what it was like to grow a pair in a real scenario, and it would've messed up the time continuum like crazy.
@KarateGirl999 Yes, the advice from Goldie Wilson must have helped George. Regarding George hitting Marty, that was the whole idea Marty wanted George to do. It wasn't supposed to be like that because it was all planned for Marty to make sure he gets his mom and dad dating at the dance which he thought he succeeded but, Lorraine wanted to date Marty so Marty had to come up with a plan acting like he was there to date her but George comes to the rescue like he's saying "that's my date not yours."
He played Thin Man in two Charlie's Angels movies.
You know what? I keep forgetting about him playing the Thin Man. I've seen Charlie's Angels 1 and 2 so many times. It's just I don't see him doing many film projects.
*you forgot Alice in wonderland 2010*
Biff has a pretty fresh fade for the 50s/60s.
“I think you have the wrong car McFly”
It’s hilarious how the other guys are concerned about Marty, they don’t realize Marvin sliced his hand open. Or comfort him.😂
Crispin Glover went from the most wimpiest looking guy to the most intimidating, sharp, mafia boss looking man today 😭😭
Mcfly : oh biff you are one sick puppy
It's been so long since I've seen this movie that I swore I remember biff slapping Lorraine instead of just pushing her. Says a lot that was enough to set George off to drop Biff
2:00 the soon awaited action
From the moment of that punch the chain reaction of Biff's bullying of George stopped.. History changed for the better. Lorraine fell in love with George. It was the 1st of 3 chain reactions in the trilogy.
The 2nd was when Marty burned the almnac in BTT2. When he did that all the events from Biff's 1st bet stopped and never took place.
The 3rd was in BTT3 when Marty reversed at the car race. He never crashed into the Rolls Royce and never had that accident.
The student has become the master.
ジョージがビフをＫＯしてロレインの手を取るシーンは何度見ても泣いてしまう
ＢＴＴＦの中で一番好きなシーン
Never mess with George Mcfly.
Or my character Andrew
Or a Mcfly
“Scram McFly!” -He got his too! 👊
This moment and the moment Biff crashes into a manure truck would have put a big dent in Biff's life, no way he will ever want to remember such year when a mysterious boy came along and helped George McFly improve his life.
Part 2 Marty: OF COURSE! MY ONE CHANCE! MY OLD MAN IS ABOUT TO DECK BIFF
One of the greatest, most seamless edits in movie history 0:00-0:02.
1955 Biff Tannen 1st Defeats
As a high school kid
1:37 Ow! D**n it, man! It sliced my hand!
George, the one punch man.
I hope this does not sound lame, but I think George, and all of us do, have greatness in us and sometimes it needs something to bring it out of us.
Obviously in the original timeline, nothing of note had happened to George in order for this to happen to him.
This is the first time I’ve noticed that the black gentlemen were actually hotboxing in the car!😅
“No Biff, you leave her alone” gets me every time. He looks so damn scared when he notices it’s Biff. You can feel that 99% of the voice in his head is telling him to get the hell out of there. But he listens to that 1% that tells him to man up. Even if he had lost the fight, it’s one of the major “grow some gigantic balls” moments in cinema history. Love this movie.
I realzast of time travle in My memory in a futuer of time in past in my own head
Acid is groovy.
And thus George McFly became class president, accomplished his dream and got married with Lorraine and had kids, they have been nicer and healthier and, George and Lorraine went easy on Marty when he accidentally set fire on a rug in their house, Dave and Linda have successful jobs and Marty has the car he’s been wanting. Biff, on the other hand, left George alone and ended his bullying and became nicer, he started his own auto detailing business and was no longer disrespectful towards anyone.
1:57 2:04 The Moment George McFly Became A Man
For me it’s 1:12 most people would walk away, being scared of their bully, but George really showed some balls and guts
Biff always push George to limit thats what happen after so many times he get bullied
I always forget the slight bit of racism in BttF.
It takes place in the 1950's so its historically accurate.
I mean, the guys saying it are bullies and creeps, so it scans. It was a common attitude in the 50s.
@@bbmcrae Plus, Hill Valley is in California so the racism is a bit more mild.
Please remove yourself from internet.
2:08
"What the hell you doing to my car?"
"Hey beat it spook this don't concern you."
Didn't he just say it was HIS car?
George’s conscience:
All the times you called me names, belittled me, made me do your homework, twisting my arm and now laughing at me…
Boom….
Now you will wash my car!!
Yeah! Yeah! YEAH!
George, there’s a women down there.
Pick her up.
“Are you OK?!”
Yeah, George, you’re bad.
It just occurs to me that this encounter is the sort of thing you could have in a western. It seems a shame when they did Back to the future part 3 there was no instance of
someone having to physically fight Buford Tannen in order to rescue a lady from him. I know he does come on to Clara - but it seems a shame He does not have to be fought
with like Biff is here. It occurs to me it could have worked with Doc Brown having to fight with Buford to save Clara from him. I know Buford used to pick on Seamus McFly -
it occurs to me maybe one of the reasons for this was he could have had designs on Seamus's wife Maggie. I know this is not made clear in the film, but the book does say
that he did used to pick on Marty's great grandfather Seamus.
Well George was put in a pretty tight spot here, it was either stand up to Biff or have his brain melted by Darth Vader from Planet Vulcan..
In both realities George was a good husband and father, so it was not all bad.
*Reefer addicts* 💀💀
Here is something funny if it happened after 2:16:
Mr. Strickland (walking by in the parking lot): McFly you slacker, you are suspended for punching Biff Tannen and knocking him out on the school grounds.
George: Mr. Strickland, you are aware that Biff has been bullying me and he was attacking Lorraine physically and I had to defend she and I.
Lorraine: It's the truth Mr. Strickland, George was saving me from Biff.
Mr. Strickland: I understand Biff was a bully and a slacker but McFly you still punched on school grounds and are on a suspension for two weeks. Leave the school now or I'll make it three weeks.
Marty: Oh no, my mom and dad never dated at the dance together as was supposed to happen. Now I'm fading away out of existence like my brother and sister are in the picture.
