When you guys watch the second movie, please DONT WATCH the post credit scene. Just stop when the title card shows up. It has major spoilers about the third movie.
Interesting note, when Marty and his band are trying out in the beginning, the teacher who tells them that it is too loud is Huey Lewis, the guy who wrote the song they are playing.
@@stevecole8783 that's because Huey Lewis and The News were big in the 1980's. If you had seen this film when it first aired in theaters, you would have recognized Huey Lewis right away, and the song Marty was trying to play.
This movie is a master class in scriptwriting. It's literally used in film classes as an example of how to write a great film script. Set-ups, payoffs, foreshadowing, character development, building conflicts and tension, delivering with satisfying resolutions...it's such an amazing movie.
@@peterlenham6904 So very true. I've seen this movie and the sequels dozens of times, and I'm always catching something new. **SPOILER** As I was watching this reaction, it occurred to me how bad an aim Doc has when facing the terrorists. In the third movie, it can be inferred that he's learned from this experience the necessity of being a better shot (especially given the setting of the third movie) and compensates by building the scope on his rifle which is so accurate that he could "shoot a flea off a dog's back".
@@peterlenham6904 Easily my favorite "little acting moment" is when Marty asks Doc if he ripped off the plutonium. He does this sign with his hands that probably means "cut the camera" and shakes his head at the question, but as he gets close to Marty (who is still filming) he says "of course!" Ha ha. It makes me crack up every time.
Just one big issue with Back to the Future........didn't his parents say to themselves as Marty grew older......"Gee, this kid we are raising looks exactly like the Calvin Klein kid that was in our high school for a week...."?
I pass by it everyday on the way to work and watch movies at the AMC there, well at least I did before the pandemic. I got to see a screening of this movie on it's 25th anniversary at the theater too.
The screenwriter was inspired when he found out that his father was class president in high school and wondered if they would have been friends had they been the same age. This is generally considered one of the best screenplays ever written and is usually taught in screenwriting classes as an example of a “perfect” script.
Yes, I love especially the part where everyone thinks his parents are together and the future is fixed, problem solved. You forget that just because the future is fixed, it doesn't mean Marty get's back to his time and the tension ramps up again even higher than before.
It really is the perfectly written movie honestly. Zero fat on it at all. That's why I'm so happy with all the bullshit remaking of movies going on, that Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, who own the rights, have literally said "Over our dead bodies."
Actually, he was inspired when he saw the 1979 movie "Time After Time" which stars Mary Steenburben (who is in "Back To The Future III"). They even went to the same date in "Time After Time" - November 5th.
It's not insane to me anymore. When I grew in the 80s into the 90s, there weren't all of these distractions and content. The same movies were played all the time. People these days also don't seem to like going backwards and watching older things. At least a lot of us are getting great RUclips content out of it.
Someone reacting to BTTF was the very first reaction (other than to music), that I ever saw and that was my exact reaction... 'How on God's green Earth is there someone on this planet that HASN'T seen Back to the Future yet?!?' lol Now, almost a year and a half later, I'm doing reactions (mostly to TV shows). Funny how things work out lol.
Trivia: The cliffhanger ending of the film was not originally intended to set up a sequel, but rather just as one last joke. It was admitted by the writer that if they originally intended the following two sequels, the ending would not have had Jennifer get into the car with Doc and Marty. (This situation is resolved in a clever way in the beginning of BTTF Part 2, which was released 4 years after the original).
I'm always blown away when I find people who have not seen Back to the Future. It was a staple for me growing up when we would rent movies at the video store. I guess I'm just getting old...
I saw it for the first time when it aired on ABC I think it was a movie Saturday night. Taped it on VHS at that time and wore that sucker out. Then saw Back to the Future 2 on rental VHS and finally saw Back to the Future 3 when it came out in theaters.
@@GuardianOwl We used to tape movies off TV all the time. Had a copy of Home Alone and Terminator 2, among others. If you were really good you would hit pause between commercial breaks.
The first part I saw was part 2. I thought it was so cool to see what 2015 might look like. But I was a bit confused by the plot since I didn’t see part 1 first.
Back to the Future is, simply put, one of the very best movies ever created. It's so solid in terms of script, acting, soundtrack and everything else that it's ... timeless, heh. 31:44 - One of my favourite details is that when Marty just arrived in 1955 and escapes the shotgun-wielding Peabody, he drives over one small tree, having the consequence that in the future it transforms the "Twin Pines Mall" into the "Lone Pine Mall". Check the signs both times when Marty arrives at the parking lot.
When they made this movie the ending was just supposed to be a joke and no sequels were planned. Everybody thought they were teasing another one so they decided to make more after this one's success.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Except now the door should remain closed. No more Back to the Future. No remakes, no nothing. Look what happened to Ghostbusters, they made a new one in 2016 and it was absolute garbage. Especially ruined with Political Correctness and feminism.
The writing in this trilogy is impeccable, there is not a wasted line or piece of fat anywhere in the script. You guys will enjoy 2 & 3 as much as the first one.
The ending scene of this was kind of a joke ending, not a true setup for sequels. But once it was decided to make them, they filmed 2 & 3 back to back.
In all the interviews, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale say they would've ended the movie differently if they'd known they would be making sequels, because they ended up stuck with the things they ended the first movie with.
In fact in the theatrical and VHS release at least, there's a "To be continued..." card as the ending theme "Back In Time" starts, but it was removed from the DVD release. They hadn't actually planned sequels but people saw this and wanted it to be continued... so they shot parts II and III all at once and released them a year apart in the late 80s.
Did you guys happen to notice that in the beginning when they went to the mall, the sign says "Twin pines mall" But when marty is rushing there at the end after coming back from 55, the sign says "Lone pine mall" Because in 1955 Marty ran down one of the pine trees in the car. A really easy to miss, but awesome detail.
The creators of this trilogy have stated numerous times that there's not going to be a 4th or any remake/reboot while they're alive. It truly is a masterpiece of a trilogy and needs to remain as is forever.
Mark my words, the _millisecond_ they both leave the scene, whatever executives with the ability to do so will greenlit a remake/reboot/streaming show ASASP.
I think it was a missed oppertunity to do one more film, set in 2015 (30 years after the original). with the story of marty or kids, or maybe emmitt's kids, trying to find out why our 2015 is different from the one in BTTF2.
The song he plays at the dance is Johnny B Goode, by Chuck Berry. The person that Marvin Berry called when saying 'You know that new sound your looking for?' So Technically he invendted Chuck Berry's Rock career.
Doc taking Marty und Jennifer to the future was actually just intended to be a fun bit at the ending, it wasn’t done to seriously set up a sequel. When they actually did do the sequel(s), it was a bit of a headache for the filmmakers to figure out the story with the setup they had restricted themselves to at the end of the first movie.
Restrictions tend to force better creativity. It ended up pretty good. Unlike with JJ Abrams, who just blows up worlds and/or does nonsense with dimensional travel to get his way.
true, most of the time, with JJ Abrams too. In this case though - mild spoiler alert - it’s pretty obvious though that they had no idea what to do with Jennifer in the sequel.
7:37, love the part where he says, "Wait a minute Doc are you telling me you built a time machine out of a Delorean?" "The way I see it, if you're gonna built a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
@@Menaceblue3 Technically John DeLorean didn't distribute Colombian white powder, he was dragged into a sting operation by the DEA. But yes, he was in dire financial straights at that point.
I love the "Do... you... know... what... this... means? It means that *this* damn thing doesn't work at all!" I also love the part where he tells Doc the story about the falling in the bathroom.
Yepp, one of the worst constructed cars of the decade. It was plagued with so many problems that it took more time in the shop getting repaired than you did driving it. Yes, it was absolutely notorious for stalling at any given moment, as well as the ignition to be ultimate crap. The battery was too small in both wattage as well as amperage to effectively turn over the ignition. It had a tendency to not ignite at all when wet or cold. When stalled the igniter ran full of fuel and was choked by it. The gull wing doors were also terribly designed. They were far too low-opening so that even an average sized person usually bumped their head hard on the underside of the doors. The list goes on and on and on. That's what they played on so nicely in this movie. It was a rolling piece of junk, and the 88 mph supposed minimum for the time jump were not impressive even for 1985. Other standard street legal cars easily topped the 120 mph mark at the same time.
@@RustyDust101 Maybe it had something to do with 88mp/h or 140 Km/h often being the highest reading on American car speedometers as you weren't able to drive faster legally on public roads. Even if the vehicle was actually capable of higher speeds. IIRC on cars in Japan the highest shown was usually 112mp/h. In Europe the tacho had to show at least the top speed of the vehicle + a safety margin. Of course it was also entirely feasible to drive full speed on an Autobahn.
The funny thing is, the ending was never intending to set up a sequel. The idea was just to have one final joke. The outcry for sequels was so great, the original team all came back (more or less) to create a satisfactory middle and end chapters. If you want a great movie that came between this one and the second one made by many of the same people, watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you will love it.
@@-M0LE yeah, when I said satisfactory what I meant was , they didn’t leave it to lesser writers to create studio cash in sequels which was still fairly industry standard for the time.
Not so much. There was no “to be continued” at the end, and we were used to watch good stories in a single movie back then (kinda miss that). Producers themselves wasn’t heading for a trilogy, placed the last scene as a joke, and decided to go on once they saw the success of the first one. All of this makes the overall trilogy quality even greater.
I don't think most people waited. I think most , like I did, just took the To Be Continued as just an ending idea like a joke and no sequel to be expected. I was surprised to learn later it was happening about several months prior to the sequel opening.
The scene where Doc scoffs at the idea of actor Ronald Reagan becoming President is hilarious and spot on! He Ioved the scene so much, he asked the projectionist to loop it.
Believe it or not, I've seen a couple reactors who didn't know Reagan was an actor! They had to quickly look it up to confirm it! And of course they didn't know who Jane Wyman, Jerry Lewis, or Jack Benny were either.
Fun fact: They played the ever-loving-shit out of Huey Lewis' Power of Love back then. I remember being a little kid in the car with my mom, and every radio station seemed to be playing it 24 hours lol
There actually wasn't a sequel in mind when the ending was filmed according to the director. It ended up writing them into a bit of a corner with some things, which you'll see when you watch the sequels.
Michael J. Fox is the only actor to have a movie & TV sitcom show to be #1 at the same time when this happened in '85. Back to the Future & Family Ties. Don't know if he still is the only one though.
Tim Allen had #1 TV show - Home Improvement, #1 Movie - The Santa Clause, and #1 Book - Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man all at the same time in 1994.
Thanks for making those of us that grew up in the 80s and 90s feel super old. I can't believe there are adults that have never seen Back to the Future. I'm guessing you guys are like what, 22-27?
Actually, this is the one line in the movie I don't like. It always feels wrong that Doc would curse in front of a kid (not adult) - just seems crass. But I'm old fashioned.
I’m so glad you guys got started on the Back to The Future franchise, it’s literally one of the most clever, well written and influential movies of all time.
So many tiny details in the movie too, like, when Marty goes back he runs over one of the pine trees, and when he gets back to the future, the mall is renamed from Twin Pines Mall to Lone Pine Mall.
Here's two more Easter Eggs (changes)... The movie theater in 1985 (original) was a porno theater, in the (new) 1985, it's a church. AND... when Doc slips on the ledge of the clocktower, he breaks out a piece of it. In the (original) 1985, it's fine. In the (new) 1985, that broken chunk is still gone.
I just discovered this channel due to this video. BTTF is my favorite trilogy and I think the RUclips algorithm has figured that out, because it recommends me every reaction video for it. Needless to say, I've already gone back and watched 10 other videos last night.
BTW... the "To Be Continued" at the end wasn't added until the VHS release of the movie. Originally there was no plan for a sequel. It was just a gag they put at the end of the movie, but after a couple years of being asked about it and the movie being a huge hit, they ended up writing a script for a sequel. The sequel ended up being so large in scale that the head of the studio said he would not finance it as a single film, since it would be their most expensive movie ever made at the time. So the third act of the sequel was branched off and became a third movie entirely and both part 2 and 3 were filmed back to back.
I just said that too but I see you beat me to it. And I only found out yearrrrrs after the fact, and I was actually a fan of Huey Lewis and the News back then. 😂
Personal favorite moment: Doc's reaction when the model car sets the pile of rags on fire: 20:34. Looking forward to part II and III. You guys are going to love them.
@@charmawow I can’t speak on Lord of the Rings because I was never into that all that much but for me it’s Star Wars at number one and BTTF at number 2.
You two are so much fun to watch these classics with! I grew up on these films, so it's great to see how well they hold up and continue to entertain. They really don't make 'em like they used to...
One of the best soundtrack in all of cinema...It's insane how perfect the notes are at each moment...that theme explode always at the perfect moment ! Just amazing !
I just realized: Even if Doc hadn't taped the letter and got shot at the end, Marty could still easily saved him. There's a bunch of plutonium just sitting there.
They filmed the school scenes at Whittier High School and the mall scene was filmed across the hills at Puente Hills Mall. Spent a lot of time at the mall, visiting a cute girl in Kit's Camera :-D
Yep. I was born and raised in Whittier and we used to bring visiting friends and relatives to Puente Hills Mall and show them where those scenes were filmed. Bizarre point of pride for my town, but it was a huge deal.
There was a very popular show in the 70's called Love American Style. It was an anthology series about love stories. One segment called Love in the Happy Days became the show Happy Days.
Yes, I remember " Love American style" and that episode: Love and the Happy days that sprung the 80s sitcom. I believe Love American style was in the mid to late 60s. Lol, Guess I'm a real old timer. I felt The Love Boat was a reboot of Love American style. Both enjoyable show's.
I definitely remember that show as a kid. Used to come on Friday nights right after The Partridge Family, and I used to love the theme song... But not as much as the theme song to The Courtship of Eddie's Father, by Harry Nilsson.
A little known Robert Zemekis film is his first movie, I Want To Hold Your Hand. It's about a group of teenagers trying to see the American debut of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. An ensemble cast with familiar faces makes for a fun time.
Shit, I remember that film...my mom was/is a huge Beatles fan and watched any film about them...I haven't seen it since I was probably twelve, and I never knew Zemeckis did it.
One time there i was minding my own business when some crazy old codger with a cain shown up, said he's my distant relative, i didn't see any resemblance
The power of love is the theame song for the movie sung by Huey Lewis and the news....Huey was the guy saying your just to darn loud in the audition....great cameo
For all the people like me who can remember the movie from when it came out (cinema or video rental): If it took place now Marty would go back to 1991! 😲
Doc Brown: Oh yeah, future boy? Well, tell me, who is President of the United States in 2020? Marty: Donald Trump. Doc: Donald Trump?! The real estate tycoon?! Next, I suppose you'll tell me that Arnold Schwartzeneggar became Governor of California.
Fun Fact: On October 26, 1985, a group of people showed up at the mall used to film the Twin Pines Mall location to see if Marty would arrive in the DeLorean.
"Orgy, American Style" is a play on an old tv show, "Love, American Style" which was half-hour rom-com vignettes, always featuring different characters & premises. I don't recall the air dates, but I wanna say, late '60s, early '70s.
What Love American Style was a way for ABC to air pilot episodes that they didn't pick up. One episode was the original pilot for Happy Days. It was called, Love and The Television Set. When Happy Days was picked up, they changed the title to Love, and The Happy Days.
@@visaman That wasn't the only thing they did with _LAS._ A majority of the show was made explicitly for that show. And there was also _Barefoot in the Park,_ an adaptation of the Neil Simon play of the same name that had run as a short-lived series. When it was cancelled they ran reruns of it on _LAS._
The guy with the bullhorn that said they were too loud was Huey Lewis and the song Marty was playing was "The Power of Love", By Huey Lewis and the news.
Good Easter Egg that's easily missed is the name of the mall (Twin Pines) at the beginning of the movie vs when Marty comes back from 1955 (Lone Pine). Remember when he crashed into the barn in 1955 he hit one of the two pine trees planted by Mr Peabody, hence the name change of the mall in the new 1985.
My favorite movie of all time. And why I love watching reactors is that sometimes your comments give me things I never saw, even after 100+ viewings: 1) Samantha's COAST GUARD chuckle- made me realize it was because of Marty's vest. How did I miss that? 2) TBR's OR ANYONE ON THIS PLANET COMMENT - I never quite connected that to Marty eventually convincing George, as an alien from another planet. Wow. Thanks. P.S. A sequel was not planned. Had they planned it, they would not have put Jennifer in the DeLorean.
And if you want to be 100% spoiler free for part 3, be aware there’s a trailer for it immediately after the end of part 2 (it played that way in theaters back then too).
I remember watching this as a kid (in the late 80s/early 90s) and thinking about how alien the world from 30 years prior would have been. Now we're more than 30 years in the future from when this was made....time flies!
I went to a screening of bttf 2 on 21st october 2015, and as I'm british, it was the first (and only) time I cheered in a cinema when Doc said the date :)
@@MrFlashpoint1978 the only other time I witnessed a UK cinema audience erupt in cheers was during a screening of Ichi The Killer, believe it or not. However, it was past midnight in Leicester Square so everybody was drunk. But it was still a blast!
Fun fact: In the beginning, Marty goes to "Twin Pines Mall" to meet Doc Brown, but at the end of the film, if you read closely, the sign changed to "Lone Pine Mall", because when Marty went to 1955, he drove into one (of two) of old man Peabody's pine trees. Hence the continuity. How trippy is that?
Whenever I hear people say that they haven’t seen Back to the Future I immediately think, “oh they just haven’t seen it in the last few months”. As someone who has watched the trilogy a couple times a year for the last 27 years, it astounds me that there still people who have yet to see this masterpiece.
Thank you! None of the reactors ever know to make that connection. Due to MTV, we all recognized Huey the moment they showed his face when the movie came out. It was hilarious to see him complain that the music was too loud. The band "Huey Lewis and the News"= two tracks from this movie.
The thing I'm really loving about your channel the most is that nearly all of the films you're watching are from my early adulthood (I was born in 1965). This trilogy also happens to be my favorite. 4:09 If you didn't catch it, the guy with the megaphone is Huey Lewis 22:59 And a very young Billy Zane (on the left) I so glad that you guys enjoyed this movie, you're going to really love the sequels.
There was no plan for a sequel when they made this movie -- In fact, they had a lot of problems getting it green-lit and even had to recast Marty after filming most of it. The TO BE CONTINUED wasn't added until after the sequels green-lit on VHS. They filmed both 2 and 3 at the same time. Also, Doc's 1955 dog was named Copernicus.
Of course, the most unrealistic part of this franchise is the idea that a Delorean would ever reach 88 mph in less than three hours. ;-) Edit: I'm not saying it had an underpowered engine for a solid stainless steel car, but... ...it had an underpowered engine for a solid stainless steel car. It accelerates *very* slowly for a supposed muscle car.
The first film was actually made without any sequels in mind. The "To Be Continued" title card at the end was added later once the movie went to home video (it might have been on the version you watched, but some versions don't have it). The 2nd and 3rd film were shot back-to-back like the Lord Of The Rings films...Part 2 came out in December 1989 and Part 3 was out the following summer. I was twelve years old when the film first came out, and saw it at least three times. This was the movie that made me realize what a "screenwriter" does...somebody sat down and figured out how all the story elements worked together, and how all the dialogue either gave hints about what was coming, or made a joke about what had happened. You may not be aware that "Pepsi Free" was the name of a spin-off soda in the 80s (less sugar or calories, or something). I'm always concerned that people who weren't alive then won't get that joke. There's actually a can of Pepsi Free on a shelf in Marty's bedroom. Been looking forward to this reaction video since you announced it. So glad you enjoyed it!
@@labyfan1313 i just made a list of my top 100 movies of all time on Letterboxd & I couldn't figure out which Star Wars and Back to the Future movie to put on the list
You guys are AWESOME. I love your reactions to Retro films. I got you Subscribed and Thumbs Up everytime. On the Rez it can get lonely with the lock downs and such, but you two make me feel like I'm watching these "old films" with you. So, thanks. 😅🎥🎞📽🎬📺
Just to see Sam's huge smile during the Johnny B. Goode part was more than worth the watch for me. I love that this film finds more and more audiences as new generations come up.
There wasn't originally supposed to be more movies. The "To Be Continued" thing at the end was, at the time, just a gag. However, parts 2 and 3 were filmed either simultaneously or back to back, so once they knew there would be sequels, they did them at once.
Nice reaction! I think this is one of the best film's ever made. I know that's a bold statement but I really can't find much if any flaws in it. Just a perfect and flawlessly executed script combined with terrific acting. Michael J Fox as Marty, Christopher Lloyd as Doc and Tom Wilson as Biff...not sure someone could have assembled a better cast!
I was 4 in 1985, mom and dad left my brother and I with the sitter then went to see BTTF opening night. They came to get us later and said EVERYONE in the theater cheered when George knocked out Biff.
I remember October 21, 2015 very well. I was at work doing the usual monotony, but that day the movie's future became the past. As a movie fan, it was rather depressing.
BTTF is so ingrained in the I the culture. Most anyone that hasn't seen it can still give you a pretty good description of it. Remember, without Doc and Marty there would be no Rick and Morty. 😁
Hey guys! You guys are incredible movie reactionists!!! Very professional and great chemistry between yourselves and the wonderful films you view. I love your Back to the Future trilogy reactions. Now these films being incredible as they are and fun for the entire family is what brings most enduring value of the American Film experience. It's a great Universal Picture.
Hey TBR... I really like both your reactions during "Back to The Future" so much. I was 18yrs. when this movie was released and I have enjoyed watching this over the years... it was great to see how you both were invested in watching this. From when you were cringing over Marty's mom having a crush on Marty to when you were laughing about Doc... again I really enjoyed your reactions here and Thank you for your channel .
Fun fact. Rob Zemekis got the idea for the movie, when he thought 💭 to himself. Would he befriend his father if he met him back in high school. And thus a classic movie series for all time is born.
I thought that in 9th grade when it turned out my drivers ed teacher also taught my dad drivers ed when he was in high school. Then I saw his yearbook and he was so different to me, and to himself now But I didn't write a million dollar movie :(
mike math In real life, The jump from generation to generation is so drastic. In the 40's loads of people lived in the city and survived two world wars and listened to the radio . The 60's loads of people are living in suburbs, with a car and a TV set. In the 80's families start moving to the boonies, with 2 and 3 cars, and 2 and 3 in the house. So things definitely change. When I grew up, to learn most things you had to take private lessons or sit in a library for hours researching. Now it's all at the swipe of your phone.
@19:29 According to urban legend the arm swing shot where Biff gets punched is actually Eric Stoltz and not Michael J Fox. Thomas F Wilson who played Biff doesn't remember re-shooting that specific moment and thinks it is archive footage from when Stoltz was playing the role of Marty McFly.
Seeing your poll list, I urge you to do "Forbidden Planet" some day. Your Patreon members may be too young to be familiar with it, but it's superb. It would be sad if your reactions were limited to movies popular with young people right now, because that leaves out a lot of great movies.
@@rabbitandcrow Also excellent. Both are gems of 50s science fiction. For God's sake, don't react to the inferior remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
Have only just started rewatching the Back to the Future trilogy this week, for the umpteenth time. You guys are so fortunate to be catching up with so many classic movies, with so much current day dross being shovelled at us.
What an amazing movie! Sam and I had so much fun with this and we can not wait to watch the next 2!!
Thank you all for the support!
1 of my favourites.. Best script that was ever made.
You guys have a very good eye for spot details before they happen in the movie. Another good reaction.
Def watch parts 2 and 3!
The greatest trilogy of all time
When you guys watch the second movie, please DONT WATCH the post credit scene. Just stop when the title card shows up. It has major spoilers about the third movie.
Interesting note, when Marty and his band are trying out in the beginning, the teacher who tells them that it is too loud is Huey Lewis, the guy who wrote the song they are playing.
And supposedly, someone once told his band that they "were just too darn loud" in one of their own auditions.
Seems like anyone under 40 doesn’t get that one.
@@stevecole8783 that's because Huey Lewis and The News were big in the 1980's. If you had seen this film when it first aired in theaters, you would have recognized Huey Lewis right away, and the song Marty was trying to play.
@@stevecole8783 I know, right? Every reaction I see, they don’t notice, and I just feel older. 😅
I have never been early enough to a BttF reaction to be the one to get to tell them about Huey's cameo or the pine tree mall sign. One day.
This movie is a master class in scriptwriting. It's literally used in film classes as an example of how to write a great film script. Set-ups, payoffs, foreshadowing, character development, building conflicts and tension, delivering with satisfying resolutions...it's such an amazing movie.
...and a little of incest, just to pay a complete homage to the greek drama ;-)
It's very smart. You find something new everytime you watch it.
@@peterlenham6904 So very true. I've seen this movie and the sequels dozens of times, and I'm always catching something new.
**SPOILER** As I was watching this reaction, it occurred to me how bad an aim Doc has when facing the terrorists. In the third movie, it can be inferred that he's learned from this experience the necessity of being a better shot (especially given the setting of the third movie) and compensates by building the scope on his rifle which is so accurate that he could "shoot a flea off a dog's back".
@@peterlenham6904 Easily my favorite "little acting moment" is when Marty asks Doc if he ripped off the plutonium. He does this sign with his hands that probably means "cut the camera" and shakes his head at the question, but as he gets close to Marty (who is still filming) he says "of course!" Ha ha. It makes me crack up every time.
Just one big issue with Back to the Future........didn't his parents say to themselves as Marty grew older......"Gee, this kid we are raising looks exactly like the Calvin Klein kid that was in our high school for a week...."?
Old Man Peabody was breeding pine trees. Marty runs over one of the trees as he escapes. In the future the Twin Pines Mall becomes the Lone Pine Mall.
This was exactly what I was going to point out when they mentioned how the movie paid attention to details.
The deets.
I have yet to see one person reacting to this movie that actually caught that detail the first time.
I live like 15 minutes from the mall that they used in the movie It's called The Puente Hills Mall it's in City of Industry near Whittier California
I pass by it everyday on the way to work and watch movies at the AMC there, well at least I did before the pandemic. I got to see a screening of this movie on it's 25th anniversary at the theater too.
The screenwriter was inspired when he found out that his father was class president in high school and wondered if they would have been friends had they been the same age. This is generally considered one of the best screenplays ever written and is usually taught in screenwriting classes as an example of a “perfect” script.
Yes, I love especially the part where everyone thinks his parents are together and the future is fixed, problem solved. You forget that just because the future is fixed, it doesn't mean Marty get's back to his time and the tension ramps up again even higher than before.
It really is the perfectly written movie honestly. Zero fat on it at all. That's why I'm so happy with all the bullshit remaking of movies going on, that Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, who own the rights, have literally said "Over our dead bodies."
yep , had the same reaction, great great script, and thanks nice note
Actually, he was inspired when he saw the 1979 movie "Time After Time" which stars Mary Steenburben (who is in "Back To The Future III"). They even went to the same date in "Time After Time" - November 5th.

Theres people that haven't seen Back to the Future??? This is insane! lol
It's not insane to me anymore. When I grew in the 80s into the 90s, there weren't all of these distractions and content. The same movies were played all the time. People these days also don't seem to like going backwards and watching older things.
At least a lot of us are getting great RUclips content out of it.
Right?!
Yeah blows my mind also then again it makes me feel old.
Someone reacting to BTTF was the very first reaction (other than to music), that I ever saw and that was my exact reaction... 'How on God's green Earth is there someone on this planet that HASN'T seen Back to the Future yet?!?' lol
Now, almost a year and a half later, I'm doing reactions (mostly to TV shows). Funny how things work out lol.
@@LarryBonson
Back to the future part ii technically happened in the past....
If you really think about it!
Trivia: The cliffhanger ending of the film was not originally intended to set up a sequel, but rather just as one last joke. It was admitted by the writer that if they originally intended the following two sequels, the ending would not have had Jennifer get into the car with Doc and Marty. (This situation is resolved in a clever way in the beginning of BTTF Part 2, which was released 4 years after the original).
i've never felt more validated than when michael j fox called out how they dealt with her.
I'm always blown away when I find people who have not seen Back to the Future. It was a staple for me growing up when we would rent movies at the video store. I guess I'm just getting old...
I know. But it's nice watching reactors I've come to enjoy viewing movies for the first time that I have loved for decades now.
I saw it for the first time when it aired on ABC I think it was a movie Saturday night. Taped it on VHS at that time and wore that sucker out. Then saw Back to the Future 2 on rental VHS and finally saw Back to the Future 3 when it came out in theaters.
@@GuardianOwl We used to tape movies off TV all the time. Had a copy of Home Alone and Terminator 2, among others. If you were really good you would hit pause between commercial breaks.
Yes, and every copy was always rented out every time I went to the video store! And I would end up renting WarGames...again!
The first part I saw was part 2. I thought it was so cool to see what 2015 might look like. But I was a bit confused by the plot since I didn’t see part 1 first.
Back to the Future is, simply put, one of the very best movies ever created. It's so solid in terms of script, acting, soundtrack and everything else that it's ... timeless, heh.
31:44 - One of my favourite details is that when Marty just arrived in 1955 and escapes the shotgun-wielding Peabody, he drives over one small tree, having the consequence that in the future it transforms the "Twin Pines Mall" into the "Lone Pine Mall". Check the signs both times when Marty arrives at the parking lot.
also in Back To The Future III, Clayton Ravine turns into Eastwood Ravine

They should remake a woke version of this movie and call it "Black To The Future".

You can also check out alanda Parker. She is very witty.

It is nice they're hitting up a lot of movies that I consider classics but they've seemingly missed.
When they made this movie the ending was just supposed to be a joke and no sequels were planned. Everybody thought they were teasing another one so they decided to make more after this one's success.
Never hurts to keep the door open a crack.
@@dialecticalmonist3405 Except now the door should remain closed. No more Back to the Future. No remakes, no nothing. Look what happened to Ghostbusters, they made a new one in 2016 and it was absolute garbage. Especially ruined with Political Correctness and feminism.

They couldn't figure out what to do with Jennifer after they wrote the teaser which is why Jennifer is out cold for most of part II.
The writing in this trilogy is impeccable, there is not a wasted line or piece of fat anywhere in the script. You guys will enjoy 2 & 3 as much as the first one.
There's a bit of fat in the 3rd one though. Like Marty imitating Clint Eastwood in front of a mirror.

I love part 3! The first film is untouchable, but part 3 definitely deserves some more love
The ending scene of this was kind of a joke ending, not a true setup for sequels. But once it was decided to make them, they filmed 2 & 3 back to back.
In all the interviews, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale say they would've ended the movie differently if they'd known they would be making sequels, because they ended up stuck with the things they ended the first movie with.
@@tylerfoster6267 Yep, like Jennifer. lol
In fact in the theatrical and VHS release at least, there's a "To be continued..." card as the ending theme "Back In Time" starts, but it was removed from the DVD release. They hadn't actually planned sequels but people saw this and wanted it to be continued... so they shot parts II and III all at once and released them a year apart in the late 80s.
Exactly
U got 69 likes so I can’t like
Did you guys happen to notice that in the beginning when they went to the mall, the sign says "Twin pines mall" But when marty is rushing there at the end after coming back from 55, the sign says "Lone pine mall" Because in 1955 Marty ran down one of the pine trees in the car. A really easy to miss, but awesome detail.

The creators of this trilogy have stated numerous times that there's not going to be a 4th or any remake/reboot while they're alive. It truly is a masterpiece of a trilogy and needs to remain as is forever.
If you've never played the Telltale game, it's a great addition to the series and can be seen as a Part 4.

Mark my words, the _millisecond_ they both leave the scene, whatever executives with the ability to do so will greenlit a remake/reboot/streaming show ASASP.
My fav movie of all time. And I’m down for a sequel reboot .
I think it was a missed oppertunity to do one more film, set in 2015 (30 years after the original). with the story of marty or kids, or maybe emmitt's kids, trying to find out why our 2015 is different from the one in BTTF2.
The song he plays at the dance is Johnny B Goode, by Chuck Berry. The person that Marvin Berry called when saying 'You know that new sound your looking for?' So Technically he invendted Chuck Berry's Rock career.
Doc taking Marty und Jennifer to the future was actually just intended to be a fun bit at the ending, it wasn’t done to seriously set up a sequel. When they actually did do the sequel(s), it was a bit of a headache for the filmmakers to figure out the story with the setup they had restricted themselves to at the end of the first movie.
and if they knew they were gonna do a sequel they would've never put Jennifer in the car at the end
Restrictions tend to force better creativity.
It ended up pretty good.
Unlike with JJ Abrams, who just blows up worlds and/or does nonsense with dimensional travel to get his way.
true, most of the time, with JJ Abrams too.

7:37, love the part where he says, "Wait a minute Doc are you telling me you built a time machine out of a Delorean?"
"The way I see it, if you're gonna built a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"
Yes.... let's build a time machine from a car who's designer distributed fine Colombian white powder to keep his company afloat
@@Menaceblue3 Technically John DeLorean didn't distribute Colombian white powder, he was dragged into a sting operation by the DEA. But yes, he was in dire financial straights at that point.
I love the "Do... you... know... what... this... means? It means that *this* damn thing doesn't work at all!" I also love the part where he tells Doc the story about the falling in the bathroom.
Yepp, one of the worst constructed cars of the decade. It was plagued with so many problems that it took more time in the shop getting repaired than you did driving it.
Yes, it was absolutely notorious for stalling at any given moment, as well as the ignition to be ultimate crap. The battery was too small in both wattage as well as amperage to effectively turn over the ignition. It had a tendency to not ignite at all when wet or cold.
When stalled the igniter ran full of fuel and was choked by it.
The gull wing doors were also terribly designed. They were far too low-opening so that even an average sized person usually bumped their head hard on the underside of the doors.
The list goes on and on and on.
That's what they played on so nicely in this movie.
It was a rolling piece of junk, and the 88 mph supposed minimum for the time jump were not impressive even for 1985.
Other standard street legal cars easily topped the 120 mph mark at the same time.
@@RustyDust101 Maybe it had something to do with 88mp/h or 140 Km/h often being the highest reading on American car speedometers as you weren't able to drive faster legally on public roads. Even if the vehicle was actually capable of higher speeds. IIRC on cars in Japan the highest shown was usually 112mp/h. In Europe the tacho had to show at least the top speed of the vehicle + a safety margin. Of course it was also entirely feasible to drive full speed on an Autobahn.
The funny thing is, the ending was never intending to set up a sequel. The idea was just to have one final joke. The outcry for sequels was so great, the original team all came back (more or less) to create a satisfactory middle and end chapters. If you want a great movie that came between this one and the second one made by many of the same people, watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you will love it.
2 was more than satisfying
3 was awesome
@@-M0LE yeah, when I said satisfactory what I meant was , they didn’t leave it to lesser writers to create studio cash in sequels which was still fairly industry standard for the time.
The 4-year wait for the sequel was painful.
An amazing trilogy. Timeless.
Not so much. There was no “to be continued” at the end, and we were used to watch good stories in a single movie back then (kinda miss that). Producers themselves wasn’t heading for a trilogy, placed the last scene as a joke, and decided to go on once they saw the success of the first one. All of this makes the overall trilogy quality even greater.
I remember that wait. By the time the movie was released on VHS, a sequel had been confirmed.
Just imagine if it stayed that way. Because they only decided to make a sequel when fans of the first film persisted.
I don’t do sequels… Even back then..
I don't think most people waited. I think most , like I did, just took the To Be Continued as just an ending idea like a joke and no sequel to be expected. I was surprised to learn later it was happening about several months prior to the sequel opening.

There actually wasn't a sequel in mind when the ending was filmed according to the director. It ended up writing them into a bit of a corner with some things, which you'll see when you watch the sequels.
Michael J. Fox is the only actor to have a movie & TV sitcom show to be #1 at the same time when this happened in '85. Back to the Future & Family Ties. Don't know if he still is the only one though.

I’m so glad you guys got started on the Back to The Future franchise, it’s literally one of the most clever, well written and influential movies of all time.
So many tiny details in the movie too, like, when Marty goes back he runs over one of the pine trees, and when he gets back to the future, the mall is renamed from Twin Pines Mall to Lone Pine Mall.
Here's two more Easter Eggs (changes)... The movie theater in 1985 (original) was a porno theater, in the (new) 1985, it's a church. AND... when Doc slips on the ledge of the clocktower, he breaks out a piece of it. In the (original) 1985, it's fine. In the (new) 1985, that broken chunk is still gone.
I was going to mention the theater marquee
I just discovered this channel due to this video. BTTF is my favorite trilogy and I think the RUclips algorithm has figured that out, because it recommends me every reaction video for it. Needless to say, I've already gone back and watched 10 other videos last night.
BTW... the "To Be Continued" at the end wasn't added until the VHS release of the movie. Originally there was no plan for a sequel. It was just a gag they put at the end of the movie, but after a couple years of being asked about it and the movie being a huge hit, they ended up writing a script for a sequel.
The sequel ended up being so large in scale that the head of the studio said he would not finance it as a single film, since it would be their most expensive movie ever made at the time. So the third act of the sequel was branched off and became a third movie entirely and both part 2 and 3 were filmed back to back.
Note the cameo by Hewey Lewis as the judge of the school talent contest.... claiming that "They're just too loud!" all while playing a his song :)
I just said that too but I see you beat me to it. And I only found out yearrrrrs after the fact, and I was actually a fan of Huey Lewis and the News back then. 😂

They filmed the school scenes at Whittier High School and the mall scene was filmed across the hills at Puente Hills Mall. Spent a lot of time at the mall, visiting a cute girl in Kit's Camera :-D
Adam the Woo has a good video on filming locations for this and other movies.
Yep. I was born and raised in Whittier and we used to bring visiting friends and relatives to Puente Hills Mall and show them where those scenes were filmed. Bizarre point of pride for my town, but it was a huge deal.
Back to the future is my fav movie of all time. Glad you guys liked it
There was a very popular show in the 70's called Love American Style. It was an anthology series about love stories. One segment called Love in the Happy Days became the show Happy Days.
This was the first time I really noticed the theater sign referencing that. 😆
Yes, I remember " Love American style" and that episode: Love and the Happy days that sprung the 80s sitcom. I believe Love American style was in the mid to late 60s. Lol, Guess I'm a real old timer. I felt The Love Boat was a reboot of Love American style. Both enjoyable show's.
Good eye 👁!!!
I definitely remember that show as a kid. Used to come on Friday nights right after The Partridge Family, and I used to love the theme song... But not as much as the theme song to The Courtship of Eddie's Father, by Harry Nilsson.
These two are the cutest reactors on RUclips. Great to see you both watch these movies and share the experience together.
A little known Robert Zemekis film is his first movie, I Want To Hold Your Hand. It's about a group of teenagers trying to see the American debut of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. An ensemble cast with familiar faces makes for a fun time.

Fun Fact: On October 26, 1985, a group of people showed up at the mall used to film the Twin Pines Mall location to see if Marty would arrive in the DeLorean.
"Orgy, American Style" is a play on an old tv show, "Love, American Style" which was half-hour rom-com vignettes, always featuring different characters & premises. I don't recall the air dates, but I wanna say, late '60s, early '70s.
If you notice in the "new" timeline, that theater is now a church.
What Love American Style was a way for ABC to air pilot episodes that they didn't pick up. One episode was the original pilot for Happy Days. It was called, Love and The Television Set. When Happy Days was picked up, they changed the title to Love, and The Happy Days.
@@visaman That wasn't the only thing they did with _LAS._ A majority of the show was made explicitly for that show. And there was also _Barefoot in the Park,_ an adaptation of the Neil Simon play of the same name that had run as a short-lived series. When it was cancelled they ran reruns of it on _LAS._
This is the best trilogy EVER. It's so original. Is Epic. Unforgettable.
The guy with the bullhorn that said they were too loud was Huey Lewis and the song Marty was playing was "The Power of Love", By Huey Lewis and the news.
And the irony that he’s now experiencing hearing loss. Love Huey… one of my 80’s faves.
Good Easter Egg that's easily missed is the name of the mall (Twin Pines) at the beginning of the movie vs when Marty comes back from 1955 (Lone Pine). Remember when he crashed into the barn in 1955 he hit one of the two pine trees planted by Mr Peabody, hence the name change of the mall in the new 1985.
Huey Lewis cameo,Perfection 👌
I laughed my butt off when he said... Too darned loud.
My favorite movie of all time. And why I love watching reactors is that sometimes your comments give me things I never saw, even after 100+ viewings: 1) Samantha's COAST GUARD chuckle- made me realize it was because of Marty's vest. How did I miss that? 2) TBR's OR ANYONE ON THIS PLANET COMMENT - I never quite connected that to Marty eventually convincing George, as an alien from another planet. Wow. Thanks.
P.S. A sequel was not planned. Had they planned it, they would not have put Jennifer in the DeLorean.
Don't know if you're going to watch parts 2 & 3, but don't be surprised if you don't notice a new actress playing Jennifer. LOL
And if you want to be 100% spoiler free for part 3, be aware there’s a trailer for it immediately after the end of part 2 (it played that way in theaters back then too).
And the disappearance of George's father.

Fun fact: In the beginning, Marty goes to "Twin Pines Mall" to meet Doc Brown, but at the end of the film, if you read closely, the sign changed to "Lone Pine Mall", because when Marty went to 1955, he drove into one (of two) of old man Peabody's pine trees. Hence the continuity. How trippy is that?
Alan Silvestri, the composer for this, also composed the music for Predator
And Flight of the Navigator
And a little film called The Avengers. He's still working on film scores.
Whenever I hear people say that they haven’t seen Back to the Future I immediately think, “oh they just haven’t seen it in the last few months”. As someone who has watched the trilogy a couple times a year for the last 27 years, it astounds me that there still people who have yet to see this masterpiece.
This movie is like a great blend of adventure, sci-fi and teen comedy rolled into one. And the other parts build on the first so well.
Great flick, great frigging flick, the movie is brilliant

This to me, is not only my favorite movie of all time. It is definitely the "perfect movie" for me. I just love everything about and everyone in it.
4:07, that's Huey Lewis in a cameo!
Thank you! None of the reactors ever know to make that connection. Due to MTV, we all recognized Huey the moment they showed his face when the movie came out. It was hilarious to see him complain that the music was too loud. The band "Huey Lewis and the News"= two tracks from this movie.
The thing I'm really loving about your channel the most is that nearly all of the films you're watching are from my early adulthood (I was born in 1965). This trilogy also happens to be my favorite.

Awesome! Thank you so much and same to you!
There was no plan for a sequel when they made this movie -- In fact, they had a lot of problems getting it green-lit and even had to recast Marty after filming most of it. The TO BE CONTINUED wasn't added until after the sequels green-lit on VHS. They filmed both 2 and 3 at the same time. Also, Doc's 1955 dog was named Copernicus.
Of course, the most unrealistic part of this franchise is the idea that a Delorean would ever reach 88 mph in less than three hours. ;-)
Edit: I'm not saying it had an underpowered engine for a solid stainless steel car, but...
...it had an underpowered engine for a solid stainless steel car. It accelerates *very* slowly for a supposed muscle car.
The first film was actually made without any sequels in mind. The "To Be Continued" title card at the end was added later once the movie went to home video (it might have been on the version you watched, but some versions don't have it). The 2nd and 3rd film were shot back-to-back like the Lord Of The Rings films...Part 2 came out in December 1989 and Part 3 was out the following summer.
I was twelve years old when the film first came out, and saw it at least three times. This was the movie that made me realize what a "screenwriter" does...somebody sat down and figured out how all the story elements worked together, and how all the dialogue either gave hints about what was coming, or made a joke about what had happened.
You may not be aware that "Pepsi Free" was the name of a spin-off soda in the 80s (less sugar or calories, or something). I'm always concerned that people who weren't alive then won't get that joke. There's actually a can of Pepsi Free on a shelf in Marty's bedroom.
Been looking forward to this reaction video since you announced it. So glad you enjoyed it!

I see the back to the future movies in a lot of people's top movies of all time list... you've GOT to watch the rest of the trilogy now
O we definitely will!
For me Back to the Future trilogy is tied with Indiana Jones for my favourite trilogy and movies of all time. Star Wars original trilogy comes in 3rd.
@@labyfan1313 i just made a list of my top 100 movies of all time on Letterboxd & I couldn't figure out which Star Wars and Back to the Future movie to put on the list
You guys are AWESOME. I love your reactions to Retro films. I got you Subscribed and Thumbs Up everytime. On the Rez it can get lonely with the lock downs and such, but you two make me feel like I'm watching these "old films" with you. So, thanks. 😅🎥🎞📽🎬📺
Just to see Sam's huge smile during the Johnny B. Goode part was more than worth the watch for me. I love that this film finds more and more audiences as new generations come up.
There wasn't originally supposed to be more movies. The "To Be Continued" thing at the end was, at the time, just a gag. However, parts 2 and 3 were filmed either simultaneously or back to back, so once they knew there would be sequels, they did them at once.
Nice reaction! I think this is one of the best film's ever made. I know that's a bold statement but I really can't find much if any flaws in it. Just a perfect and flawlessly executed script combined with terrific acting. Michael J Fox as Marty, Christopher Lloyd as Doc and Tom Wilson as Biff...not sure someone could have assembled a better cast!
I was 4 in 1985, mom and dad left my brother and I with the sitter then went to see BTTF opening night. They came to get us later and said EVERYONE in the theater cheered when George knocked out Biff.
I remember October 21, 2015 very well. I was at work doing the usual monotony, but that day the movie's future became the past. As a movie fan, it was rather depressing.
My favorite movie franchise of all time. You guys are in for a treat.
A Western Bundle would be fun. Unforgiven, Silverado etc.
Love your channel, such a sweet and calming couple, big hugs from Scotland.....
BTTF is so ingrained in the I the culture. Most anyone that hasn't seen it can still give you a pretty good description of it. Remember, without Doc and Marty there would be no Rick and Morty. 😁
The teacher who said Marty played too loud was Huey Lewis, the creator of the song Marty was playing and some of the soundtrack.
Huey Lewis, was the judge that said its just too darn loud, in a cameo appearance & of coarse the film is full of his great tunes
Hey guys! You guys are incredible movie reactionists!!! Very professional and great chemistry between yourselves and the wonderful films you view. I love your Back to the Future trilogy reactions. Now these films being incredible as they are and fun for the entire family is what brings most enduring value of the American Film experience. It's a great Universal Picture.
Hey TBR... I really like both your reactions during "Back to The Future" so much. I was 18yrs. when this movie was released and I have enjoyed watching this over the years... it was great to see how you both were invested in watching this. From when you were cringing over Marty's mom having a crush on Marty to when you were laughing about Doc... again I really enjoyed your reactions here and Thank you for your channel .
This is one of those classic movies that never get old
Fun fact. Rob Zemekis got the idea for the movie, when he thought 💭 to himself. Would he befriend his father if he met him back in high school. And thus a classic movie series for all time is born.
I thought that in 9th grade when it turned out my drivers ed teacher also taught my dad drivers ed when he was in high school.
Then I saw his yearbook and he was so different to me, and to himself now
But I didn't write a million dollar movie :(
mike math trust me none of us thought of creating a 100 million dollar blockbuster.
mike math In real life, The jump from generation to generation is so drastic. In the 40's loads of people lived in the city and survived two world wars and listened to the radio . The 60's loads of people are living in suburbs, with a car and a TV set. In the 80's families start moving to the boonies, with 2 and 3 cars, and 2 and 3 in the house. So things definitely change.
When I grew up, to learn most things you had to take private lessons or sit in a library for hours researching. Now it's all at the swipe of your phone.
Why is that fun?
Jigs Arquiza didn't say it was fun. Just pointing out life was different. The only constant is change.
@19:29 According to urban legend the arm swing shot where Biff gets punched is actually Eric Stoltz and not Michael J Fox. Thomas F Wilson who played Biff doesn't remember re-shooting that specific moment and thinks it is archive footage from when Stoltz was playing the role of Marty McFly.
Seeing your poll list, I urge you to do "Forbidden Planet" some day. Your Patreon members may be too young to be familiar with it, but it's superb. It would be sad if your reactions were limited to movies popular with young people right now, because that leaves out a lot of great movies.
Back to the Future came out 36 years ago. Not a young movie anymore,but yes old time classics like The Forbidden Planet would be great to watch again.
If we're talking oldie, oldie sci movies, I'd go with The Day The Earth Stood Still.
@@rabbitandcrow Also excellent. Both are gems of 50s science fiction. For God's sake, don't react to the inferior remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

Have only just started rewatching the Back to the Future trilogy this week, for the umpteenth time. You guys are so fortunate to be catching up with so many classic movies, with so much current day dross being shovelled at us.
