hey lovely youtube peoples! just fyi, our comments are getting disabled by the higher ups (we are trying to stay on top of it) so if you notice that you can't comment on this video, find one of our other ones and let us know! we want to be able to hear from you!
Just wrote on FB to tell you they were once again blocked but reloaded the video and now they work.
Hey lovely reacters Hi from Lyon - France ^^ Really ? ? You doesnt go to the credits end ? Lol you have a trailer of BTTF 3 ;)
I want see you react to rain man :)
I have a suggesten for you please react to the movie "The Godfather".
This was a SUPER fun reaction to watch! Your speculations about the time implications, the amusement at "2015", the social norms in 1955, etc. Absolutely LOL! Keep up the good work 😂
When are you guys going to watch Back to the Future 3? It's better than 2.
The whole glitchy Reagan (and others) in the diner is a nod to Max Headroom. A weird TV thing (personality and eventually show) from the 80'S did exactly that. It was part of the whole act to make it more convincing it was a completely computerized AI being, and not just some actor in heavy makeup. It's obvious now, but apparently it fooled a number of people in the 80s who weren't used to that sort of thing.
If you're into 80s cyberpunk, be sure to check out the original UK Max Headroom pilot, "20 Minutes Into The Future". It's wonderfully bleak and gritty!
(Rumour has it that there are a couple of bootleg copies floating around on RUclips...)
Beat me to it ;)
@@Xoferif Interesting. I do have the 14 episode TV series on DVD, but haven't seen this UK pilot it was adapted from. I'll have to check that out as well.
@@ectoburger6822 It's out there, I have it and its gorgeous.
They really need to go full meta and review twenty minutes into the future :)
Don't think it snapped because he used the wrong wrench. I think the 1955 Doc realized he needed a 3/4 inch wrench when the 5/8 inch wrench didn't work, and the 1985 Doc remembered he initially grabbed the wrong wrench, so nothing of significance changes there. Like ripples in a pond, small things flatten out quickly, larger things have more of an effect.
Yea it was the tree branch that fell on the cable that caused it to disconnect.
This, and also 1985 Doc would know that 1955 Doc would look up and go up to the toolbox when he realised the wrench was wrong, so anticipating that meant he kept focusing on his work and didn't look directly at 1985 Doc.
I just want to add the brilliance of the score's title for this scene: _"Pair o' Docs."_
Events revolved around the lightning strike on the clock, so provided the Doc had the cable connected, their interaction wouldn't have made any difference. The wire didn't break, it used a plug and socket. When the Doc was on the clocktower he unplugged the lower cable by yanking it too hard.
Using the wrong wrench would just mean he couldn't tighten the nut and he would have to get the correct size. 5/8 would be too small - 5/8 vs 6/8 to make it obvious.
Don't forget the "new" 1985 Doc would remember having helped Marty return to the future from 1955.
1985 Doc just remembered he had the wrong wrench 30 years ago.
Sounds like a problem that could have been avoided with an adjustable spanner or crescent wrench
The first movie was only a one-time thing. The end tag was a joke, but it paved the way to planning two sequels to be written and filmed back to back. That’s why the second movie had a tag preview for the third.
.. and that's why Jennifer is useless : the first movie never tought about his role. But as they made her going into the car, she must be in it at the beginning of part 2.
Wow i didnt know that. Damn. We almost didnt have a trilogy of greatness.
@@mrbard1 The only way any series back then got made was if they had a hit on their hands...or if they we super cheap.
Only movie that ever had an official trailer for the sequel as part of the movie
@@Avocado11 And, Imo , how it should be.
When I was a kid, I was terrified at the angry father who now lives in Marty's house. But as an adult, I see he reacted the exact correct way to a stranger in his daughter's room
If anything, he let Marty talk way too much before beating without question.
I actually found that scene quite humorous. "Damn right, you in the wrong house!" :)
Why the hell do you think he reacted the right way? Damn you‘re so violent
Christopher Lloyd is just a joy to watch in anything he's in. Also I really love that you can basically watch the entire back to the future trilogy back to back as one long movie
Loved him as Jim Ignatowski on TAXI.
We DO watch it as one long movie! SO fun!
I adore Christopher Lloyd; he’s quite literally my favorite actor. He’s so prolific and has some of the greatest facial expressions I’ve ever seen. He’s amazing! I’ve heard he’s actually pretty shy in person.
@@vytallicaq.6881 Yeah he was great, the whole grew were but l like Jim most part was because he ........
A lil treat for you. He guest starred in an episode of a show called Psych in the early 2000’s. It’s a crazy episode spoofing the movie Clue. Also includes a few actors from the original movie Clue. The episode is called 100 Clues if you’re interested in watching it.
Robert Zemeckis himself has said they were never trying to predict what 2015 would actually be like and he knew they'd get a lot of stuff wrong anyway so why not just have fun with some of the crazy concepts? Surprisingly though, the 2015 stuff got a lot of stuff right too that people often don't give the movie credit for.
2015 would have been like that, but that massive explosion at Cyberdyne Systems back in 1991 screwed up the timeline.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 lol nice one
They got Star Wars 7 right
If the Cubs just won on the correct year.
@@Starbug1S1 I saw someone's theory, that in the "original" timeline, there was no baseball strike in 1994, so everything in baseball after that in our timeline would be one year earlier in the "original" timeline.
So in our timeline, the Cubs won in 2016 instead of 2015.
At the end, the lighting bolt that hit Doc while he was flying caused the car to spin on its axis. Thats why the fire-trails look like a 99 in the air instead of a straight-line
Also, it's not a 99, it's backwards; more like a rounded PP. It is odd that everyone (including me) immediately reads it as a 99 though.
That was keeping me awake at night that was, thanks!
Not 2 years, it came out 4 years after the first. For a child, this was an eternity.
I remember seeing part two in the theater as a kid and then trying to build a hover board. 😂
Yes, it was a LONG 4 years. Not sure if she misspoke or had bad info but it was most certainly not 2 years.
Robert Zemeckis directed Roger Rabbit in between. That's what took so long.
BACK TO THE FUTURE never intended to have sequels. The ending was basically a joke and they thought it'd be hilarious if Jennifer got thrown into the time machine with Marty and Doc. It was one final, over-the-top, hilarious gag to end their comedy sci-fi flick on.
When the studio and Spielberg approached Zemeckis and the writers to go ahead and make a second film, they freaked because they realized that Jennifer has no story purpose in the sequel and now they were stuck with her. Reportedly they did write drafts where Jennifer became essentially part of a heroic trio with Doc and Marty, but it never worked and nobody was happy with the dynamic.
It's for this reason that Jennifer spends the entire film's runtime basically unconscious because they had to get rid of her without complicating their own story and it was the only solution they could come up with.
Exactly, the original woman was supposed to come back but I think she had a scheduling conflict which is why they cast Elizabeth shue, they never wanted to go to the future also. That was just a joke which is why they didn't spend to much time in it.
@@rxtsec1 Actually, the Jennifer from the first movie, her mom got cancer and it got real bad. So she couldn’t do the movies and stayed at home for her mom
@@brettbull3676 yeah I've heard that also. for her that would be a scheduling conflict but yeah her mom getting sick was the reason
This is actually my favorite of the movies because of all the different timelines and because we get to experience the first movie from a different viewpoint, which is just a cool idea in general.
Regarding Jennifer not having to be there, yes - but the first movie ended with her traveling with them to the future, and back when they made the first movie, the ending was just a fun gag, they did not expect to make a sequel. Now that they made a sequel, they needed to figure out a way to write around the fact that Jennifer traveled with them. So they put her to sleep for most of the movie lol.
I love the look on Doc's face when Marty asks if he and Jennifer turn out to be assholes in the future. Like he has to stop and go, "Wait, do they?" 🤣
I always thought it was more of a "well, kind of, but I can't tell them that"
Cool cameos in BTTF2: Elijah Wood was the kid in the hat in the diner by the arcade machine; Needles is played by Flea, bassist for The Red Hot Chilli Peppers; Match, one of Biff's gang, was played by Billy Zane
Also, Billy Zane is Cal in Titanic, and the “save the clock tower!” lady from the first movie is the same woman that is laying with her husband on the bed as water rushes in also in Titanic!
They get the 80's nostalgia right, the multitasking, and flatscreen TV's right. A lot of people miss the TV thing, I guess because they're so ubiquitous now. Thwy weren't around then.
Yeah- Just because we don't usually have six programs on a single screen, doesn't mean we don't have multiple screens of different sizes all at the same time!
@@gregstephens I always have multiple tabs open. You see gamers with multiple monitors.
Technically, flying cars can be made, but it would be impractical. Also, a helicopter serves the same purpose.
This comment reminded me of something my father said back in the 1960s. He was the least imaginative man on earth and had no interest in science fiction, but he told me someday TVs would be an inch thick -- maybe less -- and people would hang them on walls like they would oil paintings. This was when TVs had picture tubes the size of bushel baskets.
You’ve really never seen mirror shades before?
Yes, Doc could see through his visor! 😎
they looked more metallic than mirrored
When Marty is showing the young kids how the Duck Hunt video game works, look closely at the kids. One of them is a very young Elijah Woods!
*Wood
Wild Gunman was the game, but the same as Duck Hunt in that you need the Zapper to play it.
Wood, not Woods.
@@MrWhatdafuBOOM Yeah, him. They guy from Lords of the Ring. ;)
@@greymatters6555 👏
Canadian actor Matt Frewer as Max Headroom (who was huge in the 80s) was the inspiration for the glitchy Ronald Reagan.
7:10 -- the stunt woman in that sequence ended up really hurting herself badly due to a poorly planned out stunt that was changed at the last moment and was too risky. That *used* to be the most interesting story about her life. Until a couple of years ago when she died in a bizarre ambush she had set up with her current husband for her ex-husband (this was in the U.S.A., so of course they all had guns).
Life is weird, man.
4:28 This is why the idea for flying cars is to have a virtual highway in the air. A. you can only fly along that path, B. the driver really has no control, you tell the car where to go and it just follows the highway until you land.
if they were controlled by advanced AI, it would work but still trouble if they fell
As others have stated, the "99" left behind by the DeLorean in the sky is actually the fire-trail from the time jump. It's actually a spiral, as the lightning strike forced the car to spin on its axis while it travelled back in time.
Scanned comments to see if anyone was going to mention this.
The screaming in 2015 is actually explained by doc in s sidecomment to Marty. He says something along the lines of "their cyber enhancements are melting their brain" also explains Griffs weird headpiece.
Claudia Wells was unavailable for the sequels due to tragic personal circumstances, that's why she was replaced by Elisabeth Shue and why Jennifer doesn't get involved in the story much.
I can’t help but wonder if then knowing the circumstances of how little they would use her in the storyline, maybe she could have accepted the role and been in the film anyway.
I also wonder if they used Elizabeth Shue so little, due to the fact that it would be so obvious that a different actress was used.
@@adnap She had completely stopped acting to care for her mother.
@@adnap Claudia Wells stated the part was actually suppose to be huge in the sequel. She would have been a main character alongside Michael J. Fox, but after her mother got cancer and she quit acting in 1986, she turned down the 1989 sequel to Back to the Future and the third film.
Please watch WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT!
They have its on their Patreon so it will be on RUclips soon
So many temporal anomalies, paradoxes in this.....but then you remember it's just a movie and let it go!
Fun thing. The Cubs won the World Series in 2016, so Back to the Future was about 1 year early on that prediction.
The three movies are so intertwined, it’s a delight to treat him and notice new details.
Great reaction, as always
There is a theory that in 14:38 Marty actually died, and that's why the doc arrived in time to save Marty from the fall. Theres no way the doc would have known where to be at, if marty didn't jump first.
Fun fact. This movie only missed the Cubs World Series Title by 1 year. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series in 2016, ending a drought of over 100 years for the team.
My theory is that we are still living in this alternative Timeline and Biff Tannen was President from 2017 to 2021
Somebody probably already answered this but 1985B DOES have a Marty and Doc. Doc shows 1985A Marty the headline in the library saying he was committed to an asylum, and Biff mentions Marty supposedly being at boarding school.
I really like that they use the Sports Almanac as a McGuffin in this movie XD
The first “business man” on the video call was Flea, from Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
He, and Anthony Keidis, have been in a few movies.
This future is basically *80's* with a Sci-Fi twist, try to imagine *30yrs* in the future from now in the *2050's*
Exactly
The shirts in this vid!
Simone is wearing a type of shirt that makes her look "smaller" (skeletons do that) while Marty's mom got "larger."
And George, wearing the favorite shirt of pan-galactic hyper-dimensional beings everywhere.
Speaking of which, I would love to see someone react to the BBC 6 part Hitchhiker's miniseries.
back to the future day was glorious, all 3 movies in a row with extra material in between.
They actually had no intention of making a sequel. They just thought it would be a fun way to end the first. It was so popular that they had to make a sequel, but they realized they wrote themselves into a corner. Likely they did a great job. This one is my favorite.
The tunnel in this film is the same one that had the entrance to Toontown within it in _Who Framed Roger Rabbit._
The fact that I instantly understood George's shirt makes me question my life choices.
You should check out Max Headroom, the Cafe 80's scene will make a little more sense. Max Headroom was big in the 80's.
What's hilarious about it though is that the actor who plays Biff (Thomas Wilson) is the dead opposite of his character in real life. Everyone on set of all three films said he was the nicest most polite guy and then when he had to be Biff he just "became" this character.
When a villain makes you actually HATE them, that actor did their job perfectly.
The weird thing on the TV that Marty was looking at that weirded you both out was based on something called Max Headroom in the 90s.
Late '80s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_(TV_series)
The third movie is my favourite of the trilogy. Feels a lot more "authentic" than the second. Very much worth watching.
I love them all but 3 is very underrated. I know a lot of people who don't like it, and I'm like "are you daft?"
Guys it's 3 part's of one movie. Watching them in one go on Sunday with coffee and cookies is the only way how....
@@johnnythewalrus It's very underrated, I think maybe it's the Old West setting that puts people off. I think it's great
They made a lot more stupid decisions I though, which kind of made the film less enjoyable. Plus it was basically the same structure, so no real surprises.
I still love the second movie
Fun fact for Back to the Future Part 2 they reshot the entire ending scene from the first film with Elisabeth Shue in Back to the Future Part 2 because she replaced Claudia Wells as Jennifer Parker, because Claudia Wells had to leave to take care of her mother
Context with the 80s Cafe version of Ronald Regan: his appearance and glitching are a shout-out to Max Headroom.
This came out over 4 years after the original. I know by what ex wife I was with. LOL. Just (sorta) kidding. Remember that part II and III were originally one movie, but the script grew to large and they split it. Part III was released about 6 months later. But unlike the original Back To The Future, which stands alone, you need III to fully wrap up what happens in II. Thanks for the reaction.
The 99 in the sky is just the trail of the tires of the Delorean when it engages the flux capacitor, like when it leaves the fiery tire tracks on the road. It's just happenstance that it happens to be in a 99 looking pattern.
Scanned comments to see if anyone was going to mention this.
This is due to the rotational motion of the car.
19:53 THAT'S BILLY ZANE!!
They were almost right about at least one thing on 2015: the Chicago Cubs broke their 108 year World Series Championship drought, but in 2016.
Michael J. Fox tweeted "Only off by one year. Not Bad. Congratulations @Cubs #FlyTheW"
Also, they correctly predicted Miami would have a MLB team by 2015. The team started in 1993 but was the Florida Marlins until changing to the Miami Marlins in 2012.
@AB The true King of Rock and Roll.
'but in 2016'
_So they weren't right._
@@MrWhatdafuBOOM I'm sure you knew what I meant.
@@Billinois78 Yeah, I mean that's why I answered.
@@MrWhatdafuBOOM they may not have predicted it 100% accurately, but they had the right idea.
Here is a mind bending idea for you. Marty most likely died a few times in this movie.
Death #1 Marty didn't know where to go in Biff's mansion and ended up on the roof. How would the Doc know to save Marty from the roof unless Marty jumped or was shot off the roof at least once.
Death #2 How would the Doc know to drop the banner from the sky at that exact moment when he can't see what is going on in the tunnel with Biff chasing Marty. He must have run Marty over at least once before Doc knew exactly when to drop the banner.
I am open to a friendly debate on the idea but it seems like a likely scenario to me.
about the banner: nah, just a tention thing for the viewers... if Doc had dropped it sooner we wouldn't have stood on our seats the way we did while watching Marty escape from Biff .. don't make everything more complicated than as it is :-D
@@jewel79 My stance came from other peoples reviews that I agree with. Don't be so pompous and simple minded. I said I was open to a friendly debate. Your last sentence wasn't very friendly.
@@abrecordsdjschool I have actually agreed with that theory for a long time. I mean, the timing of Doc showing up at the perfect moment in BOTH instances makes sense that he may have witnessed the original outcome. However, "Violá," he has the time machine at his disposal to go back 10, 15, 20, etc, etc, minutes to be there at the precise moment he needs to be to save Marty.
I agree with jeweljin about the banner.
As far as the roof, my guess would be that Doc and Marty had planned that out in advance. Two reasons I believe this:
One, Biff asked Marty how he'd gotten past the security downstairs. The answer is Doc had also dropped him off on the roof when they arrived.
Second reason is that when Marty gets (back) to the roof, he looks and doesn't see Doc yet. The plan was for Doc to come back and pick him up from the roof, but they didn't quite sync that up. Doc fortunately then showed up just in time.
@@martyklestadt6766 There is no way they had planned on jumping off the roof onto the hood of a car unless they had done this a few time. Did you ever see "Edge Of Tomorrow" . He has to die a few times before they get the plan just right. Doc could have dropped him on the roof to avoid security because he may have got caught trying to get past them a few times before. I am saying their plan my have had to have been worked out with some unfortunate trial and error. Doc could easily use Mr.Fusion to repeatedly come back to re-plan.
Movie tension does not explain the banner near the tunnel when you are talking about movie theory. I'll say it again...Doc can not see what is happening in the tunnel. Logic would say that Doc would just go to the other end of the tunnel to get Marty. But instead Doc picks him up just in time with the banner by the entrance way. I say it must have been re-planned several times, or at least once. The whole storyline of part II is about going back to fix past mistakes.
BTTF is my favorite trilogy of all time so I love that you guys are watching and enjoying them (for the most part) I can't wait for y'all to watch Part III to see how everything gets wrapped up!
Dude! It's my favorite trilogy too! I've got so much BTTF stuff. A replica of the flux capacitor, Mary's multicolored hat from 2, and the photo of his siblings from 1 (among other things)
Griff was like that because the doc explained his bionic implants went wrong, or something.
People always miss that line.
Fun fact... Writer Bob Gale has confirmed in interviews that alternate timeline Biff was based directly upon a certain former US President, lol
If you’re wondering why there was a glitching Ronald Reagan in the diner, this movie came out at the same time that the amazing Max Headroom was a thing.
The use of "to be continued" at the end of the first movie presents this like a serial from the '40s & '50s that could only be seen in a theater.
The woman that hit the pillar at 7:09 was supposed to go inside with the two other guys and fall on a soft mat for the stunt, but she ended up going down outside of the building onto the hard floor breaking many bones. She got $13K for workers comp, but she also got an undisclosed amount from the studio. Pause it at 7:11 and use "" to go frame-by-frame. You can see her falling down outside. She actually brought up concerns with the stunt many times before it actually happened.
Those stainless steel sunglasses were real back it the 80s. I had a pair. It was some sort of mirrored plastic, but you could definitely see through them.
I know I'm late to the party 😂, but the way Doc explained time travel in this movie was amazing!!! One of my favorite scenes from a movie EVER!!!!
I’m sure it’s been asked, just wonder why George doesn’t appear on the thumbnails for videos. Love your reactions guys. Fellow Canadian here. Keep it up.
George isn't as pretty.
In the Cafe '80s, the automated waiter is "glitchy" because it is mimicking an early '80s show called Max Headroom. Also, the competing digital characters were Ronald Reagan (also referenced in the first movie as being president in 1985) and the Ayatollah Khomeini, Iranian political and religious leader from 1985 who was considered a rival of Reagan and the U.S.
"The fixed timeline has no Doc and no Marty."
That's a non issue.
Think about the original trip.
For a whole minute, that timeline had no Einstein.
Until he came back a minute later.
No big deal.
Think about Marty in the first movie.
Sure, when he left and went to the past, that timeline had no Marty... but he actually came back ten minutes earlier, so in the end for ten minutes that timeline had two Martys, then went back to one.
Bottom line... it doesn't really matter if anybody leaves their own timeline, as long as they come back.
And if they don't... it's just one more unsolved missing person case.
So that's what happened to all these "missing persons". Now we know 😀😎🙂
@@Lightmane Not all of them. There's Cecilia Dasenberg who the authorities still don't know what happened to her on August 17, 2005, but I can assure you she didn't time travel. [DON'T ASK!]
@@David-qi1ys my comment was sarcasm
@@David-qi1ys Then again, there's Johann Heisenberg, who the authorities still don't know what happened to him on January 29, 3005, but I can assure you he did time travel. {DON"T ASK ABOUT THAT EITHER - IT"S STILL CLASSIFIED}
@@Rocket1377 - Thought you meant George McFly and I was confused.
Can’t wait to see y’all’s reaction to the third movie, keep you the good work!
please watch part 3!!
I just watched this and when Simone talks about how Doc Brown talks to Doc Brown and she says "this is so messy and I don't like it" is so funny! I'm making a character for the Alternity TTRPG that can time travel and I'm going to use that line. LOL!
*Jennifer & George McFly* were both recast but for different reasons
This movie is an incredible example of attention to detail in script and story writing. And the re-filming of some of those scenes from different perspectives is so so good.
Jennifer needed to be with them because when she's found by the cops later, it distracts Doc and Marty, so old Biff can get their discarded book and the rest of the shenanigans can happen.
The actors in this trilogy are ALL amazing.
Zemeckis didn't want to make BttF 2, but the first was so popular they strong-armed him into it, saying "If you don't do it, someone else will" so he stayed on to make sure the sequel fit the first movie. They also reshot the end of the first movie to make the cliffhanger to go into movie 2.
The second and third movies were written together and shot after each other and directly meant to be sequels to each other.
The sequel was so much darker and I love it for that. The franchise never recovered from the lighthearted romp that the third film was.
The glitchy Reagan was a send-up of a "futuristic" (for the mid-80s) television character called Max Headroom.
Doc Brown went from ripping up the Letter about The Future to Let's Fix all in Convenient Issues, Always a Great Ride through Time, I'm totally on Board with the Sports Almanac Time Line
There was about 4 years between the release of back to the future part 1 and back to the future part 2!
Back To The Future was released in 1985, and Part 2 was released in 1989. That's 4 years, not 15.
This movie actually came pretty darn close to prophecy.
The Chicago Cubs won the world series in 2016, after more than a century.
A sequel wasn't originally intended--the end tag was just a joke. But it was 4 years before its hit status led to release of sequels, not a mere 2.
1. Doc meeting himself in 1955 and handing him the correct tool didn't alter anything, since it was the tree falling onto the cable that caused the problem at the climax of the first movie.
2. When the Delorean got struck by lighting and vanished, that wasn't a 99 (would be a mirrored 99), it's just a swirl to indicate something goofed up, instead of the usual straight fire trails.
The video reference you missed in the Cafe 80s was Max Headroom. Once you see an episode of that, you'll understand the style of the video characters.
Here it is 2022 and I STILL don't have a hoverboard! BTW there are very strong parallels in this movie with "It's a Wonderful Life" with James Stewart - a 1940's movie well worth reacting to.
Bonus Fun Fact: We actually get a sneak peak at the villain of the next film (Mad Dog Tannen) on the TV outside of Biff’s complex!
As a kid I never figured out, Jennifer was a different actress, lol.
7:32 - And there he is ... Charles Fleischer. The voice of Roger Rabbit himself. Yep, nobody asked, but I'm telling you anyway. Cheers. Oh, and there again, talking to Biff at 15:23! I never noticed that before, and that's saying something since these 3 movies have been a favorite of mine since I first saw them in theaters in the 80's. I've watched them dozens of times each over the years. Thanks, kids, for giving me the chance to pot something I've missed for 35 years!
I think I speak for just about everyone when I say that in addition to your thoughts and logic on the story/script, the acting and filmmaking in general, what we might potentially enjoy is to see more discussion and insight as to how these films personally impacted you. ie; Did you genuinely enjoy it ? Would you watch it again ? How would you rate it on a scale of 1-10 ?
When a person recommends a film to a friend, family member, or colleague, the FIRST thing we want to know being the person of influence is, “Did you like the movie ?” “What did you think ? and would you watch it again?”
Just some things to consider, coming from another lover of film classics.
George, I assure you that in 1985 and 1989 we knew there would NOT be flying cars by 2015 or 2021! LOL! I guess you know about the flying car at part 1 being more a joke at the end. @ 4:28 What you said there George is the same argument I made with a friends decades ago about flying cars. Except I said the word "dimension" rather than "axis" but is means the same. LOL! Of course back then or at least the 90s somebody made a fan driven flying car that was dangerous as hell, and this friend said we see these everywhere in a couple of years. NOT!! LOL! Most will never be ready to deal with the 3rd dimension called "up" on their own. 😁 You guys are going to really enjoy Part III. I hope you know about Clint Eastwood and his first Spaghetti Western in 1964 that made him very famous, as it will help a lot in part III. You saw a glimpse of it when Biff was in the hot tub with the two women. ✌😎
They didn't need to save the clock tower, as after the lightning was used in 1955 the clock tower was still working. You can see the clock still working near the end of the original movie.
The first BTTF didn't have a sequel planned. It was just supposed to be Marty, Jennifer and Doc going off on an adventure together (a cute ending leaving the rest up to the audience's imagination). When they decided to do a sequel (because the first movie was such a massive hit) they found they were stuck to continue it because they brought Jennifer along. So they had to find a way reducing her part of the story. One of the writers of the movie said something along the lines of "If I had known we were going to do a sequel, I would never have brought Jennifer along at the end of the movie!" LOL
ELB Doc Brown's initials are Emmett Lathrop Brown (it was in the animated series that we got to know his middle name)
Ronald Regan (in the Cafe 80s) was modeled after a fictional character from the early 90s called "Max Headroom" - which was a computer generated image (Matt Frewer) which was glitchy like in BTTF 2.
At 16:47 would that be a para " docs" LOL
From Wikipedia:
Director Robert Zemeckis said that initially, a sequel was not planned for the first film, but its huge box office success led to the conception of a second installment. He later agreed to do a sequel, but only if Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd returned as well. With Fox and Lloyd confirmed, Zemeckis met with screenwriting partner Bob Gale to create a story for the sequel. Zemeckis and Gale would later regret that they ended the first one with Jennifer in the car with Marty and Doc Brown, because it required them to come up with a story that would fit her in, rather than a whole new adventure.
I was just wondering when you were going to watch this! I’m a child of the 80’s so I’m loving that you two are watching these.
this is my fav of all the part 2 movies. Sequels can be good or bad it goes both ways too many examples to name every one
October 2015 was a huge deal. Lots of Malls etc had Back to the future pop displays and cosplay shows.
the glitchy computers is a reference to Max Head Room a sci-fi character who appeared in a few things.
"Since when did you become the physical type?" is one of my all time favorite quotes. The delivery and facial expression(s) are so perfect!
The glitchy computer version of Ronald Reagan when Marty entered the 1980's themed diner when he first arrives in the future, was glitchy because it was a nod to a computer animated character from the 1980's named Max Headroom, which glitched that way when he talked.
Can we get an ETA on the BTTF 3? You guys were great as per usual, can't wait for the next instalment...
I had mirrored sunglasses just like Doc (later the pro-wrestler and Canadian National treasure Bret “the hitman” Hart had them too) and yes you can see through them.
28:08 no 19th century scientist ancestor seen sadly. Doc's family, von Brauns, were in Germany until 1908
George on Flying Cars: THANK YOU. They ARE a terrible idea, and for exactly the reason you outlined.
Guys, thank you for this reaction, thank you for the good mood! Waiting for part 3))
First off, always love your reactions and perspectives to movies! Sometimes thought provoking and other times just plain funny. Keep'em coming!
Second, this movie series is a classic for so many reasons. The hidden gems along the way of the changes in the timeline, such as Twin Pines mall becoming Lone Pine Mall after Marty ran over the pine tree in the past, or that Biff is having trouble getting out of the DeLorean when he returns from the past because he changed the past which meant he was fading like Marty was in the first movie (although more about it was in a deleted scene), really reward a person for paying attention but doesn't distract from the movie itself. And although all the actors help this story come to life, I always enjoy Thomas F. Wilson who plays Biff because he's a super funny and nice guy in real life, but he plays a real s.o.b. in these movies so good.
Edit: Doc helping himself with the weather equipment wouldn't stop what was already in motion most likely since in the original timeline/story it came unplugged due to Doc adding tension on the line when he was trying to plug it back it at the clock tower.... but glad to see you both are thinking forward.
Indeed - it's also implied somewhere in outside material that in the Dark Timeline, Lorraine eventually murders Biff for what he did to her and her family.
Biff and western union guy are both "freaks and geeks" vips/veterans.
Why won’t you watch Part III!?!? My favorite film series of all time
I love watching old movies that are set in "the future" that is now our past. 1984, 2001, 2010, Escape From New York, Blade Runner, Mad Max.
