You're right about that one guy in the saloon. Pat Buttram did the voice of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Disney's "Robin Hood". He also had a recurring role on "Garfield & Friends" as Cactus Jake. He was supposed to be a cousin (I think?) that Jon Arbuckle visited on occasion on that show.
Yeah, Kahla's like the third reactor that I've heard say he did a voice in Aristocats as well, but I've never seen it. I think 2 or 3 or those saloon guys also voiced the bullets in Eddie's toon gun in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which would make sense since that was what Zemeckis directed right before BTTF 2 & 3.
The "western" clothes that Doc dresses Marty in for 1885 are based on the outfits that Roy Rodgers wore in his western tv show in the 1950's. The signature song of Roy Rodgers and his wife was "Happy Trails to You" and as Marty drives off in the drive in Doc wishes him "Happy Trails".
While yes a train DID come, we were still supposed to assume the Delorean was what was triggering the railroad crossing. There were no digital signals at the time, so it just used vibration of the tracks
Two things. First. You're right about their Irish bloodlines probably being too close because it's a known fact that when the Irish started immigrating to the US, many Irish would only marry within their small Irish clans. Even talk show host Conan O'Brien confirmed this when he talked about a DNA test he had taken that showed he was almost 100% Irish and this was due to the fact the Irish frequently only married other Irish within their small group. Conan said he is Irishr than most Irish people in Ireland today. Second. My theory as to why we never got the flying cars and the real hoverboards as depicted in part 2 has to do with Marty not getting into the accident with the Roll-Royce. Just like Doc had an epiphany after hitting his head that led him to create the Flux Capacitor that made time travel possible, the driver of the Rolls-Royce was supposed to hit his head in the accident and have his own epiphany that would have led him to create the anti-gravity technology used in the flying cars and hoverboards but Marty, having learned his lesson, didn't race Needles just because Needles called him "chicken".
That's an interesting theory, but how do you explain the lack of self tying shoe laces on shoes? The lack of holograms from theaters that can make you think it's about to eat you on the street? The lack of 1980's style diner with AI simulations of Michael Jackson, Ronald Reagan and etc serving you? Thumb print door knobs? Enlarging dehydrated pizzas? Weather control to knowing the exact time the weather will be cleared? Or the self fitting jackets that can adjust to your size and self dry? Did the driver of that accident invent all those things too?
@@thewolfofwallstreet627 Well, those things might have fallen into place from others, because of the accident caused a massive change of events. It could be that even the technology that gave us the anti-gravity devices that made flying-cars and real hoverboards in that timeline was created by someone else but what led to it was the accident. It could be the child of the vehicle accident victim, in an attempt to relieve the suffering of their parent, ultimately led to all of those advancements in technology but none of that happened because Marty didn't get into the accident.
Where did you learn to shoot like that ?--Marty: 7-11, yes in the 80's there were arcade video machines in some 7-11, similar to the gun shooting game that Marty plays in part 2.
Yup, and the 90s, too. I have vivid memories of my brother and I being sent to the local convenience store to buy milk, but if we had spare quarters we would spend about 20 minutes playing on the Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat arcade machines. 😅
Just wanted to say that I'm loving your reactions, Kahla. You're very observant with details and I can tell you're not overly dramatic for the sake of viewership. Love that! Please keep this up. Don't change.
Thought the same thing of the person on his dads side looking like his mom, but just going with it. And I forgot the band ZZ Top made a cameo as 3 of the musicians playing at the dance.
Fun little Easter egg at 4:55 : When Marty comes out, he's standing by 2 movie posters: Return of the Creature and Tarantula. Both came out in 1955 and were Clint Eastwood's first 2 movie roles. Small roles, but it was his start. Marty says "Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this" Doc: "Clint who?" Marty points at the movie posters, "That's right you haven't heard of him yet"
You are right! What the hell would the townsfolk think if they heard the delorean’s engine trying to turn over in doc’s shop? Loved all your reactions to this great trilogy! 👏 👏
Thanks for the reaction! I agree with many of your statements. Just in case, there are 3 other (totally separate from each other) continuations from the trilogy: 1) A CBS saturday morning animated series from 1991-1992, now on DVD. 2) "Back To The Future: The Game," point-and-click video game from TellTale Games, once for computer and consoles, now just consoles, released from 2010-2015. See wikipedia for info. 3) A number of different comic books from independent comic company IDW Publishing from 2015-2022. Again, thanks! :)
I actually own both the game and cartoon series. The cartoon series was on sale for dirt cheap at the time, and it was listed as brand new, so I had to buy it. Not the best cartoon, as there was a lot of issues I had with it even back then. And, I still do now, but it's not a bad series. I can literally think of tons of other cartoons that were based on movies that were far worse, but this was fairly decent. I think the main issue people had with the cartoon was that it focused on Doc's kids rather than Marty and Doc themselves most of the time. And whenever Marty was on the show, he was portrayed as the lovable idiot rather than the street smart kid that he is, who just happens to let his naivety get him trouble sometimes. And while I can agree with those criticisms, my main concern with the cartoon is that it was just OK. It didn't really move the story forward much at all other than just showing audiences what Marty and Doc's life was like after the events of the original trilogy. I guess when you have a great trilogy like back to the future, where each sequel progresses the story in it's own way, you become kind of disappointed when a cartoon sequel to those films just takes a more self contained slice of life mixed in with time travel shenanigans approach. It's not bad. just not great. I think the video game was awesome, and I wish it had been used to make a fourth film because it would've definitely explored new aspects the movies never covered, and address some plot holes for fans that only follow the movies. Never read the comics though, but I do plan on collecting them sometime next year if possible. :)
I've ALWAYS said that about the Maggie character. It doesn't make sense that someone from the McFly side would look like his mom, unless George and Lorraine are cousins and don't know it. It would've made more sense if it were the Banes farm.
It may still happen. I met my husband in Atlanta and our families came from Illinois in different communities not far from each other. My husband looked a lot like my uncle and everyone in the family noticed the similarity. My husband was the only red head in his family and my uncle was the only one in our family. I now have several grandchildren with red hair but I think my kids marriage partners also had a part in that even though none of them married a red head. Genetics
In the commentary, cowriter Bob Gale said that McFly men get with someone who reminds them of Maggie. Look at the photo of William McFly, and see his wife. Looks a bit like Maggie, doesn't she? This explains George and Lorraine, as well as Marty and Jennifer.
I've been told countless of times there's someone else who lives in my city that looks exactly like me in spite me not having any relatives that look like me to my knowledge, so it's possible actually.
The reason 1945 Doc Brown dressed Marty in those fancy western clothes because in the 1940's, 50's and earlier golden years of Hollywood, that's how Cowboys were traditionally portrayed, as Hollywood used to love romanticizing that time period a lot. Hence, the flashy western clothes he gave Marty. It wasn't until more modern western movies like Clint Eastwood's "spaghetti westerns" and others started coming out that you saw that get toned down a lot in favor of some level of authenticity rather than romanticizing the era if that makes sense.
I've written a lot of comments because your perceptions of this story are the best I've seen and prompted me to fill in responses to some of your questions. Great Job! I'm subscribing to see more of your reactions.
In the commentary, Bob Gale said that all of the McFly men get with someone that reminds them of Maggie. This is why George got with Lorraine, and Marty gets with Jennifer.
7:38 - The DVD sets have a FAQ, which asks and answers your question here: Q: Lea Thompson plays Maggie McFly, Marty's great-great-grandmother, as well as Lorraine, Marty's mom. But Lorraine's family name is "Baines." Why did Lea play Marty's paternal great-great-grandmother, when she's really not part of that family? Is there something kinky going on in the history of the McFly family? A: Lea plays Maggie because we didn't want to make a Part III without having Lea in it, especially in a "Mom is that you?" scene! Of course, we thought about whether it made any sense; obviously, Maggie McFly and Lorraine Baines cannot be blood relatives. But we did come up with a satisfactory answer. It's a well-known adage that "men are attracted to women who remind them of their mothers." Clearly then, when Seamus married Maggie, that insured that the McFly men would have a genetic trait that attracted them to women who bear a resemblance to Maggie or Lea Thompson (even Jennifer is the same physical type!).
😄👍One thing in this film that I always have trouble getting past is the fact that in reality, there has never been such a thing as a drive-in theater with a flat parking area. They all had rows of steep berms that tilted the vehicles up towards an elevated screen. It would've been impossible to drive faster than 10mph in one, let alone 88 mph. 😜
Yes you do know the actor who spoke first in the bar. All three of the guys sitting at the table in the bar were regulars on 1940s -1960s western shows.
Back to the Future is the 2nd Greatest Film trilogy on the planet. 2nd only to the Lord of the Rings.... so for a while thru the late 80s and 90s, it was certainly No.1
Very true. And they're the only two trilogies where there isn't really a weak link in the series. Every other trilogy in film history always has that one film that's bad, but it has it's key moments to make it decent but not great. I'm looking at you, "Godfather III." But with those two other trilogies you just named, every movie in the series is great, and each sequel progresses the story in it's own way to where you feel satisfied completely with how they're both wrapped up.
Family lines were very close back in the "old west" and still are in some community's around the U.S. and the world that have small populations. If you ever look into genealogy you might be surprised to see how many people are related to other people in their communities.
I remember when another reactor did a video on this exact same film, they said it was somehow cliche and boring to have Clara not believe Doc was from the future, after he told her. I just said in the comment section at the time that it would've been unrealistic for her to believe him immediately when you think about it. Yeah, it's a cliche trope of having a misunderstanding between lovers in a film only to have them end up together anyways. But, sometimes those tropes are used a lot for a reason, and this is one of those times that the trope made sense to use in this film. From an in universe perspective, would anyone truly believe you if you said you were from the future? And that you came to the past in a time machine? Most people would think you're insane. Full disclosure. I actually do believe there's time travelers that are walking among us right now in modern times. Some of them probably from the future, but they're not going to tell us who they are for obvious reasons. But even being one of those types of conspiracy nuts that I am, if someone just straight up told me they were a time traveler from the future, I wouldn't believe it either. I'd assume either they were trolling me, or they were on some type of drugs like alcohol, weed or something.
"Of course it's erased!" "But what does that mean?" "It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you." Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood was asked for permission about his name being used for Marty (Michael J. Fox) in the film. He consented and was said to be tickled by the homage. Historical Fact: Marty (Michael J. Fox) uses a "Frisbie's" pie plate to knock a gun out of Mad Dog's (Tom Wilson) hand. In 1871, the Frisbie Pie Company started in Connecticut. Their pie pans were thrown on the campus of Yale, and this eventually lead to the invention of Frisbees. Music Enthusiast Fact: ZZ Top was asked to be the town band. During one take, the camera broke. While waiting for the camera to be repaired, Michael J. Fox asked if they would play Hey Good Lookin' (1951) by Hank Williams, which they did. Afterwards, more requests were played. Two hours later, someone inquired if the camera had been repaired. Robert Zemeckis replied that it had been fixed for quite a while, he just didn't want to stop the party that had evolved.
A googol is 10¹⁰⁰, which is massive. To put it in perspective, there is an estimated 10⁸⁰ atoms in the observable universe. A googolplex is 10 to the power of a googol. It's impossible to write out all the zeros, even if each zero were represented by a single atom. We would run out of atoms.
I still can believe the train in 1985 demolishes the DeLorean and DOESN'T STOP! Not even brake. They don't even call it in! When Marty and Jennifer go back there are still parts everywhere. No cops, no rail workers, no clean up crew. I find this more implausible than the flying time-traveling locomotive. And Verne nearly pees himself. (Once you see it you can't unsee it.)
I thought about this too, but a train can take a mile or more to stop. It’s possible they did stop the train further down the track. Also it’s a movie 🤷🏼
If you loved this trilogy, here are some more time travel movie recommendations (if you haven't watched them already): "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home" (1986); "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1988); and "The Spirit of '76" (1990).
Those are good recommendations. Although if she watches the first "Bill and Ted" film, then she should definitely check out the sequel, "Bill and Ted: Bogus Journey", as that's an underrated classic imo. The third "Bill and Ted" film, "Bill and Ted Face the Music" is optional in my opinion. It's not a bad movie, but it does retcon events in "Bogus Journey" to make the plot work, and it has a few plot holes imo. Not a bad movie, but it's not required viewing imo, as Bogus Journey imo wraps up the "Bill and Ted" story perfectly if you stop at that film.
i recommend you react to : ★ *The Frighteners* (1996) 🔥 starring *_Michael J. Fox_*_ (Marty McFly)_ Directed by *_Peter Jackson_*_ (The Lord of the Rings)_ ★ *The Addams Family* (1991) 🔥 starring *_Christopher Lloyd_*_ (''Doc'')_ Directed by *_Barry Sonnenfeld_*_ (Men In Black)_ ,
theres a plot hole that could of avoided all the stuff in the movie and had a quick conclusion to the story lol when marty travels to the 1800s to get doc and breaks the fuel line all he needed to do was just syphon gas from the other deloreans tank and swap the fuel lines cause the car he travels back in is the one doc stores in the mine so its aged, the gas dried up, and the tires rotted off but thats the same one doc was stuck by lightning in so in theory that ones still in the 1800s in the same mine with a full tank of gas cause its only been a few days since it was stored there for doc and marty in 1955 to find...but im sure they new that cause doc uses that deloreans parts and converts them for the time machine train in the finale of the movie
The only problem is would that have affected the time line though? Keep in mind that if we're going by "butterfly effect" rules, then logic dictates that if you go back in time and even kill something as insignificant as a fly, or move a small pebble, then that could escalate into altering major future events down the line. Marty and Doc probably didn't want to take that chance, so they probably didn't even want to consider that option if at all.
You should definitely do a reaction to the Ape Reboot trilogy (or quadrilogy)! It’s one of the best series of modern films in recent years and has some amazing storytelling!
I know you probably get this a lot but you are so gorgeous I actually paused to go grab something and as I went back I was like, "holy shit you ARE SO BEAUTIFUL" for like a full minute
Who knows how would have been the second and third movies had Crispin Glover joined the cast. Love the trilogy of course but the absence of George and the lack of presence of Lorraine (or alter ego like in this one) as a an active character is something i miss. Just a very very minor detail but i like they´ve got the original actor and actress to play Marty´s siblings in that little scene at the end.
LOL 😹 But he's a really nice guy and was very cool about it. He even lend Michael J. Fox the poncho he wore in "The good, the bad and the ugly". They thank him after the credits
Hi Kahla, I love your great reactions, and thank you for watching the 'Back to the Future' films, what is considered to be the Greatest Trilogy EVER , a trilogy where all 3 are superb, brilliant, and a masterpiece in there own way. __ I love the fact that you watch & listen and pick-up on things that a lot of reactors completely miss. __ The Doc had the technology & components of the Hover Board to help him. __ Looking forward to your next reaction 🙂 ❤
Doc said that Clara is one in a googolplex. A googol is a 1 with 100 zeros behind it, a massive number. A googolplex is a 1 with a googol zeros behind it. It's a truly insane number.
Thanks Kahla. Was wondering when you were gonna get round to this. I shall look forward to watching this over the weekend. Like auto dropped for you and the channel - pre-watch that is 🤗
The three cowboys in the bar are all actors from the heyday of westerns, and at least one of them has done some voice acting. I think part of the reason this movie is so good is that it's basically the original idea, but after having time to get to know the characters.
A little backstory not shown in the trilogy. When they were maybe twelve, Needles dared Marty to break into Doc’s lab, to steal something. Doc caught Marty, and took him on as his assistant.
Tom Wilson is actually the nicest guy in real life. He even has a comedy song that he plays about the questions he regularly gets about Back To The Future. Look up Biff's song. It's less than 2 minutes but it's hilarious.
Fun fact: Needles' gang is made up of one member from each of the Tannen gangs. The guy riding shotgun in his truck was in Buford's gang. The guy in the back in yellow was in Griff's gang (he was the one playing "chicken" noises in the last movie) and the one in the back in shades was in Biff's gang (he was the one who made fun of Marty's jacket).
Doc could've used cylinder motors to make the car move up to 88 miles per hour that were made in the 1880s. 1885 in fact is when motorcycles were first built but in Europe.
In the 40s and 50s, western movies and TV shows we're all the rage. They weren't very realistic, however. That's why Doc dressed Marty in those clothes. Stars of the era, like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers wore outfits like what Marty was wearing, this is what Doc knew of the time, thus why he gave Marty the clothes.
Back in the old West of America, people would pump up water using hand pumps buried into the ground to a water basin. Sorry but this was 70 years before water filtration, so the water usually had sediment in it....
Glad you realized that Marty couldn't kill Buford because if he did then There's no Biff and if no Biff then there's no one for George to knock out so Elaine can fall in love with George and Marty And His Brother and Sister won't exist
You're thinking of googol, which is 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. Googolplex is 1 followed by googol zeroes. It's still a very theoretical number with little practical use, though! Googolplex is so big a number that there aren't enough particles in the universe to write it down fully.
Also it bothered me when I got older that Doc Brown couldn't create Gasoline......I mean he's a Scientist who built a time Machine so wouldn't he know the simple formula for taking oil and chemically refining Gasoline?
Yes, but he was under a time constraint of a matter of days. Oil wells were not super common back then. He'd have to travel to find crude oil, prob in a different part of the country, transport it, and THEN refine it.
@@michaeljacyna1973 He was in California.... There was plenty of visible oil in California and eastern experts said it would be worth a fortune. The early oil ventures in the 1850s and 1860s were well-funded, but all of them failed. The drillers spent $1 million and their poor quality oil was worth only $10,000.[4] Prospectors after 1848 discovered an increasing number of oil seeps-oil seeping to the surface. In Northern California, there were oil seeps in Humboldt, Colusa, Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties, and in the asphaltum seeps and bituminous residues in Mendocino, Marin, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties. In Southern California, large seeps were found in Ventura, Santa Barbara, Kern, and Los Angeles Counties.[5] Interest in oil and gas seeps was stirred in the 1850s and 1860s, Interest became widespread after the 1859 commercial discovery of oil in Pennsylvania. Soooo tell me more....
@@michaeljacyna1973 Crude Oil is actually quite prevalent in California, as for refining oil into gas it is mostly just heating the oil to release the hydrocarbons....
Poor Marty has been concussed at least three separate times in a matter of days.
You're right about that one guy in the saloon. Pat Buttram did the voice of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Disney's "Robin Hood". He also had a recurring role on "Garfield & Friends" as Cactus Jake. He was supposed to be a cousin (I think?) that Jon Arbuckle visited on occasion on that show.

The use of the organ, when Doc was frightened -- that was brilliant!
38:56
Little Verne struggling to keep a straight face and gesturing to the cameraman that he needs to go pee. 🤣
Oh wow! I didn’t even notice that 😂
Fun Fact: Needles is played by Flea, the bass player for The Red Hot Chili Peppers
The "western" clothes that Doc dresses Marty in for 1885 are based on the outfits that Roy Rodgers wore in his western tv show in the 1950's. The signature song of Roy Rodgers and his wife was "Happy Trails to You" and as Marty drives off in the drive in Doc wishes him "Happy Trails".
Neat fact look behind Doc and Marty when talking to the train driver you can see them unloading the clock from the train

Two things.

27:08 A googol is a one followed by one hundred zeroes. A googolplex is a one followed by one googol zeroes.
The entire Tannen line are some of the best antagonists of any movies, in my humble opinion. Such a great foil for Marty.
Thomas F. Wilson is the unsung hero of the trilogy.
@RobFMDetroit Every now and then he pops up in Adam the Woo's videos. Apparently they're good friends.
Lol! Buddy, you need to watch more movies then.
@@BarbaraWaskelis-bl5ug I have. This is just my opinion. Soooo yeah

This one is my favorite it ties everything up nicely 🙏❤️🙏
Fun little Easter egg at 4:55 : When Marty comes out, he's standing by 2 movie posters: Return of the Creature and Tarantula. Both came out in 1955 and were Clint Eastwood's first 2 movie roles. Small roles, but it was his start.
Marty says "Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this"
Doc: "Clint who?"
Marty points at the movie posters, "That's right you haven't heard of him yet"
Seen this movie so many times didn't know that was an Easter egg.
Doc used the tech from the hover board as a jumping off point to build the new time machine locomotive.
You are right! What the hell would the townsfolk think if they heard the delorean’s engine trying to turn over in doc’s shop? Loved all your reactions to this great trilogy! 👏 👏

Q: Lea Thompson plays Maggie McFly, Marty's great-great-grandmother, as well as Lorraine, Marty's mom. But Lorraine's family name is "Baines." Why did Lea play Marty's paternal great-great-grandmother, when she's really not part of that family? Is there something kinky going on in the history of the McFly family?
A: Lea plays Maggie because we didn't want to make a Part III without having Lea in it, especially in a "Mom is that you?" scene! Of course, we thought about whether it made any sense; obviously, Maggie McFly and Lorraine Baines cannot be blood relatives. But we did come up with a satisfactory answer. It's a well-known adage that "men are attracted to women who remind them of their mothers." Clearly then, when Seamus married Maggie, that insured that the McFly men would have a genetic trait that attracted them to women who bear a resemblance to Maggie or Lea Thompson (even Jennifer is the same physical type!).
😄👍One thing in this film that I always have trouble getting past is the fact that in reality, there has never been such a thing as a drive-in theater with a flat parking area. They all had rows of steep berms that tilted the vehicles up towards an elevated screen. It would've been impossible to drive faster than 10mph in one, let alone 88 mph. 😜
Yes you do know the actor who spoke first in the bar. All three of the guys sitting at the table in the bar were regulars on 1940s -1960s western shows.
Also Pat Buttrem was the guy on that sixties show called Green Acre's which was a 60's comedy made by the same people who did The Beverly Hillbillies
Also Docs bandana is the remains of yellow shirt he wore in part 2 and had a cowboy theme. The train wad a 1/3rd replica. Very well done
Back to the Future is the 2nd Greatest Film trilogy on the planet. 2nd only to the Lord of the Rings.... so for a while thru the late 80s and 90s, it was certainly No.1
Very true. And they're the only two trilogies where there isn't really a weak link in the series. Every other trilogy in film history always has that one film that's bad, but it has it's key moments to make it decent but not great. I'm looking at you, "Godfather III." But with those two other trilogies you just named, every movie in the series is great, and each sequel progresses the story in it's own way to where you feel satisfied completely with how they're both wrapped up.
Family lines were very close back in the "old west" and still are in some community's around the U.S. and the world that have small populations. If you ever look into genealogy you might be surprised to see how many people are related to other people in their communities.
I remember when another reactor did a video on this exact same film, they said it was somehow cliche and boring to have Clara not believe Doc was from the future, after he told her. I just said in the comment section at the time that it would've been unrealistic for her to believe him immediately when you think about it. Yeah, it's a cliche trope of having a misunderstanding between lovers in a film only to have them end up together anyways.
But, sometimes those tropes are used a lot for a reason, and this is one of those times that the trope made sense to use in this film. From an in universe perspective, would anyone truly believe you if you said you were from the future? And that you came to the past in a time machine? Most people would think you're insane.
Full disclosure. I actually do believe there's time travelers that are walking among us right now in modern times. Some of them probably from the future, but they're not going to tell us who they are for obvious reasons. But even being one of those types of conspiracy nuts that I am, if someone just straight up told me they were a time traveler from the future, I wouldn't believe it either. I'd assume either they were trolling me, or they were on some type of drugs like alcohol, weed or something.
"Of course it's erased!"
"But what does that mean?"
"It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you."
Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood was asked for permission about his name being used for Marty (Michael J. Fox) in the film. He consented and was said to be tickled by the homage.
Historical Fact: Marty (Michael J. Fox) uses a "Frisbie's" pie plate to knock a gun out of Mad Dog's (Tom Wilson) hand. In 1871, the Frisbie Pie Company started in Connecticut. Their pie pans were thrown on the campus of Yale, and this eventually lead to the invention of Frisbees.
Music Enthusiast Fact: ZZ Top was asked to be the town band. During one take, the camera broke. While waiting for the camera to be repaired, Michael J. Fox asked if they would play Hey Good Lookin' (1951) by Hank Williams, which they did. Afterwards, more requests were played. Two hours later, someone inquired if the camera had been repaired. Robert Zemeckis replied that it had been fixed for quite a while, he just didn't want to stop the party that had evolved.
‘Biff and his kinfolk are too much!’
Wonderful reaction gorgeous
A googol is 10¹⁰⁰, which is massive. To put it in perspective, there is an estimated 10⁸⁰ atoms in the observable universe. A googolplex is 10 to the power of a googol. It's impossible to write out all the zeros, even if each zero were represented by a single atom. We would run out of atoms.
They hit a real DeLorean witht that train
"Marty" had to take lessons on how to play the guitar and ride horses for this role. Fortunately he was a fast learner.

Awesome!
I still can believe the train in 1985 demolishes the DeLorean and DOESN'T STOP! Not even brake. They don't even call it in! When Marty and Jennifer go back there are still parts everywhere. No cops, no rail workers, no clean up crew. I find this more implausible than the flying time-traveling locomotive.
And Verne nearly pees himself. (Once you see it you can't unsee it.)
I thought about this too, but a train can take a mile or more to stop. It’s possible they did stop the train further down the track. Also it’s a movie 🤷🏼
Great video!
Thanks!
If you loved this trilogy, here are some more time travel movie recommendations (if you haven't watched them already): "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home" (1986); "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1988); and "The Spirit of '76" (1990).
Those are good recommendations. Although if she watches the first "Bill and Ted" film, then she should definitely check out the sequel, "Bill and Ted: Bogus Journey", as that's an underrated classic imo. The third "Bill and Ted" film, "Bill and Ted Face the Music" is optional in my opinion. It's not a bad movie, but it does retcon events in "Bogus Journey" to make the plot work, and it has a few plot holes imo. Not a bad movie, but it's not required viewing imo, as Bogus Journey imo wraps up the "Bill and Ted" story perfectly if you stop at that film.
i recommend you react to :
★ *The Frighteners* (1996) 🔥
starring *_Michael J. Fox_*_ (Marty McFly)_
Directed by *_Peter Jackson_*_ (The Lord of the Rings)_
★ *The Addams Family* (1991) 🔥
starring *_Christopher Lloyd_*_ (''Doc'')_
Directed by *_Barry Sonnenfeld_*_ (Men In Black)_
,
theres a plot hole that could of avoided all the stuff in the movie and had a quick conclusion to the story lol when marty travels to the 1800s to get doc and breaks the fuel line all he needed to do was just syphon gas from the other deloreans tank and swap the fuel lines cause the car he travels back in is the one doc stores in the mine so its aged, the gas dried up, and the tires rotted off but thats the same one doc was stuck by lightning in so in theory that ones still in the 1800s in the same mine with a full tank of gas cause its only been a few days since it was stored there for doc and marty in 1955 to find...but im sure they new that cause doc uses that deloreans parts and converts them for the time machine train in the finale of the movie
The only problem is would that have affected the time line though? Keep in mind that if we're going by "butterfly effect" rules, then logic dictates that if you go back in time and even kill something as insignificant as a fly, or move a small pebble, then that could escalate into altering major future events down the line. Marty and Doc probably didn't want to take that chance, so they probably didn't even want to consider that option if at all.
You should definitely do a reaction to the Ape Reboot trilogy (or quadrilogy)! It’s one of the best series of modern films in recent years and has some amazing storytelling!
Pfft, she should watch all the Planet of the apes films because they're all good; minus the one directed by Tim Burton obviously.
I know you probably get this a lot but you are so gorgeous I actually paused to go grab something and as I went back I was like, "holy shit you ARE SO BEAUTIFUL" for like a full minute
Aw! Thank you 🥰
Who knows how would have been the second and third movies had Crispin Glover joined the cast.
Love the trilogy of course but the absence of George and the lack of presence of Lorraine (or alter ego like in this one) as a an active character is something i miss.
Just a very very minor detail but i like they´ve got the original actor and actress to play Marty´s siblings in that little scene at the end.
A Google plex is 1 with 100 zeroes after it
This is one of those trilogies I do not mind rewatching. Till the next one.
"Dang, is that gonna affect Clint Eastwood's career?" Right? I was wondering the same thing!
LOL 😹 But he's a really nice guy and was very cool about it. He even lend Michael J. Fox the poncho he wore in "The good, the bad and the ugly". They thank him after the credits
@@DameMitHermelin That's really cool!
Never get tired of watching this legendary saga. Another awesome reaction.
Hi Kahla, I love your great reactions, and thank you for watching the 'Back to the Future' films, what is considered to be the Greatest Trilogy EVER , a trilogy where all 3 are superb, brilliant, and a masterpiece in there own way. __ I love the fact that you watch & listen and pick-up on things that a lot of reactors completely miss. __ The Doc had the technology & components of the Hover Board to help him. __ Looking forward to your next reaction 🙂 ❤
Doc said that Clara is one in a googolplex. A googol is a 1 with 100 zeros behind it, a massive number. A googolplex is a 1 with a googol zeros behind it. It's a truly insane number.
Thanks Kahla. Was wondering when you were gonna get round to this. I shall look forward to watching this over the weekend. Like auto dropped for you and the channel - pre-watch that is 🤗
are we not gonna ask the question who the hell had a kid with buford tannen?
Looking forward to watching your reaction, bc I love your reactions, but my God…you’re stunning. 😅
I love that they made Marty handy with a sidearm. Just good enough, to get himself killed.
I would love to say you are the most beautiful woman in the world
You're so sweet and gorgeous lady I love for you to react to a western call the War wagon with John Wayne and Kurt Douglas
The three cowboys in the bar are all actors from the heyday of westerns, and at least one of them has done some voice acting.
I think part of the reason this movie is so good is that it's basically the original idea, but after having time to get to know the characters.
Yes, the actor in the saloon voiced the Sheriff of Nottingham in Disney's _Robin Hood._
The close up for "or horrible" got me.... that was awesome.
A little backstory not shown in the trilogy. When they were maybe twelve, Needles dared Marty to break into Doc’s lab, to steal something. Doc caught Marty, and took him on as his assistant.
First😁 love your vids Kahla!
keep up the good work
Thank you!
Am I wrong or is the actor who played the Colt salesman also one of the bad guys in Blazing Saddles?
I was trying to remember where I saw that guy! Good eye. 👍
During the hanging scene, Michael J. Fox was actually seriously injured.
The best trilogy ever made.
Tom Wilson is actually the nicest guy in real life. He even has a comedy song that he plays about the questions he regularly gets about Back To The Future. Look up Biff's song. It's less than 2 minutes but it's hilarious.
Fun fact: Needles' gang is made up of one member from each of the Tannen gangs. The guy riding shotgun in his truck was in Buford's gang. The guy in the back in yellow was in Griff's gang (he was the one playing "chicken" noises in the last movie) and the one in the back in shades was in Biff's gang (he was the one who made fun of Marty's jacket).
Doc could've used cylinder motors to make the car move up to 88 miles per hour that were made in the 1880s. 1885 in fact is when motorcycles were first built but in Europe.
The actor who played the gun salesman also played in the Mel Brooks movie Blazing Saddles.
In the 40s and 50s, western movies and TV shows we're all the rage. They weren't very realistic, however. That's why Doc dressed Marty in those clothes. Stars of the era, like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers wore outfits like what Marty was wearing, this is what Doc knew of the time, thus why he gave Marty the clothes.
Back in the old West of America, people would pump up water using hand pumps buried into the ground to a water basin. Sorry but this was 70 years before water filtration, so the water usually had sediment in it....
Yes, Lea Thompson shouldn't have played Maggie McFly, I don't think they thought of this in casting.
Glad you realized that Marty couldn't kill Buford because if he did then There's no Biff and if no Biff then there's no one for George to knock out so Elaine can fall in love with George and Marty And His Brother and Sister won't exist
A googolplex is the number 1, followed by one hundred zeros.
Is a very theoretical number. Doesn’t get used a whole lot.
You're thinking of googol, which is 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. Googolplex is 1 followed by googol zeroes. It's still a very theoretical number with little practical use, though! Googolplex is so big a number that there aren't enough particles in the universe to write it down fully.
No that’s a googol. A googolplex is the number 1 followed by 10^100 zeros, significantly more than a googol.
Also it bothered me when I got older that Doc Brown couldn't create Gasoline......I mean he's a Scientist who built a time Machine so wouldn't he know the simple formula for taking oil and chemically refining Gasoline?
Yes, but he was under a time constraint of a matter of days. Oil wells were not super common back then. He'd have to travel to find crude oil, prob in a different part of the country, transport it, and THEN refine it.
@@michaeljacyna1973 He was in California....
There was plenty of visible oil in California and eastern experts said it would be worth a fortune. The early oil ventures in the 1850s and 1860s were well-funded, but all of them failed. The drillers spent $1 million and their poor quality oil was worth only $10,000.[4]
Prospectors after 1848 discovered an increasing number of oil seeps-oil seeping to the surface. In Northern California, there were oil seeps in Humboldt, Colusa, Santa Clara, and San Mateo Counties, and in the asphaltum seeps and bituminous residues in Mendocino, Marin, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties. In Southern California, large seeps were found in Ventura, Santa Barbara, Kern, and Los Angeles Counties.[5] Interest in oil and gas seeps was stirred in the 1850s and 1860s, Interest became widespread after the 1859 commercial discovery of oil in Pennsylvania.
Soooo tell me more....
@@michaeljacyna1973 Crude Oil is actually quite prevalent in California, as for refining oil into gas it is mostly just heating the oil to release the hydrocarbons....
