If you haven't heard some of the bizarre tales about Crispin Glover's... shall we say, "unique" interpretation of how George McFly should've been portrayed, honestly, check out the special features on the Blu-ray. Apparently for the scene where he tells Marty "not you or anyone else on this planet is gonna change my mind", he insisted that he needed to be holding a broom, so he could do a "sweep of indignation", whatever that means. Never mind that George is walking home from school in that scene, no, he clearly must be carrying a broom with him. Also, he insisted that the new successful George at the end should have slicked-back hair, a tank top, and hiked-up pants. Half the challenge of working with him, according to Robert Zemeckis, wast just throwing the metaphorical blanket over his cage and getting him to behave like a normal person. The recasting for the sequel suddenly makes a lot more sense.
@@jbwarner8626 According to his co-star Lea Thompson, his performance in Back to the Future was a major reason for the film’s success, & the biggest laughs on set & during test screenings were by Glover’s lines.
I always love seeing an actor who is 100% different from the character they are best known for. He may be known as Biff but everything about this guy screams suburban nice guy funny dad.
I like how the answer to "who's the nicest famous guy you know" changes a couple times when he performs this song at different points in time, but Gary Busey being the biggest jerk remains constant :p
I think the Gary Busey thing might not be a joke (in case anyone wonders) -- there's other interviews by other celebs I've seen where they said or implied Gary Busey is pretty much an asshole.
@@njflyersfan74 Gary Busey has brain damage from a motorcycle accident. And if anyone saw him on Celebrity Apprentice he came across as sane compared to Meatloaf's freakout.
They ensure movies get made by getting reciprocation from the Director and Writer(s) about cast chemistry, script effect, and test screening palatability. Then after having inputs on cuts(usually ignored by more experienced directors) they decide with the studio on how much the film is worth for distribution long after they decide budgetary allocation for production. In short, they pay for the shit.
I just met Tom at LA Comic-Con on October 5th, got a pic with him, Michael, Christopher & Lea, in a group photo, even had them all sign a poster, also had a nice chat with him, super nice guy and down to earth, wish I knew about this song when I met him.
Cool song by a really cool f**kin' guy! I think the 4 "dislikes" (as of 1/18/21) votes are from Eric Stoltz, Crispin Glover, Gary Busey and an easily offended DeLorean owner!
I loved Tom as Biff but now my favorite role of his was the episode of Legends of Tomorrow where he serenaded a Minotaur with a James Taylor song. Honestly, Tom’s fun in pretty much every role he plays.
“How was that DeLorean? A piece of garbage.” Oof! That hurt Tom, that hurt! Also, there’s all of these questions, but does anyone ever ask him about Robert Zemeckis? I know I would. Zemeckis is a genius!
i mean, they look cool as hell... But it is a piece of garbage. Terrible electric system, the door hydraulics always go bad and it has the engine that Volvo used in the 260 series sedans and station wagons.
@@ZemeckisTEN you should look up the history of the DeLorean. it was rushed into production and put together by factory workers with no previous car building skills. all that plus ridiculous government regulations. the big 3 sand bagged John Z every which way they could. The car looks amazing but mechanically it is a major clusterfuck.
@@ZemeckisTEN The DeLorean is a real car. It would be pretty cool if Tesla bought whatever rights might be necessary and built an EV replica of the DeLorean, but with proper engineering.
He sings different versions of this song. E.g. originally he asked three times about Michael J. Fox and the third one he said "... he's an alien!", and he asked three times "was that real manure?" and says "no" for the first two times while answering "... it's a movie!" for the third one.
This is why i always try to challenge people I meet with questions they are not expecting. If I met Tom, I would probably ask about the guitars he has or some wicked obscure project.
When I'm flying in a plane or I'm on the street There's a lot of friendly people that I like to meet They shake my hand, but never ask my name And they start asking questions that are always the same "Hey, what's Michael J. Fox like?" He's nice. "What's Christopher Lloyd like?" Kinda quiet. "What's Crispin Glover like?" Unusual. Stop asking me the question! I went to the bar mitzvah of my nephew Josh Now I'm not Jewish, but I like to nosh Put on my yarmulke, started to pray When the rabbi leaned over and I heard him say, "Hey, was that real manure?" No, it wasn't. "How was that DeLorean?" A piece of garbage. "Do those hoverboards really fly?" It's a *movie!* Stop asking me the question! "Can we take your picture? Come on, look mean!" "Would you call my friend a butthead on his answering machine?" Questions, questions, fill my head I went to my doctor, my doctor said, "What does a key grip do?" Set up lights. "What does the best boy do?" Help the key grip. "What does a producer do?" I don't know! Stop asking me the question! "Do you all hang out together?" No, we don't! "How's Crispin Glover?" I never talked to him! "Back to the Future 4?" Not happenin'! Stop asking me the question! "Hey, who's the nicest famous guy you know?" Adam Sandler. "Who is the biggest jerk?" Gary Busey. "How much money do you make?" More than you do, so stop asking me the question!
Funny guy. You can tell he still loves the fact that he was part of such an iconic movie, despite the endless questions. Bit harsh on Busey, though. Guy smashed himself up in a motorcycle accident and suffered serious brain damage, so that might explain his "eccentric" behaviour.
🤣 who ever did this guys research of his future look in back to future 2 nailed him.. either that of biff just went full on I’m gonna get that look down
Wow, that was awesome. Now I regret all the times I could have seen his show at Zanies and decided to do something else, like study or work, instead. I could afford to lose part of a letter grade.
i would of asked him what was it like being apart of legends of tommorow and thanks for being about of my childhood because to me you played one of the greatest villians of all time. i'd make my questions more about him :D
@@maxgemstone7257 I don’t understand what you mean. That’s a pretty good question. That guitar looks pretty unique so I would also want to know what guitar that is.
The DeLorean being a piece of garbage isn't surprising at all. I've toured several movie and TV sets and seen props used and they are literal hunks of trash that are molded into something that resembles the actual item being depicted in the cheapest way possible. For example, was touring an old set from Kong: Skull Island and the makers left a downed helicopter from the film there. The ranch it was on in Hawaii left it there as a landmark of where the scene was filmed. Up close you can easily tell it's a bunch of scrap metal welded into a helicopter shell. During transport of the prop to the set, the top case of the propeller broke so they painted a cooking wok (yes a real one) the same color and jammed that in there. The props are almost always designed to be thrown away or not used again so film companies never spend on those these days because you can just CGI it in post.
If I ever met him now I'd ask him why he thinks Gary Busey's such a jerk, hoping it has something to do with throwing water in Sal's face for confusing him with Nick Nolte.
Adam Sandler must’ve pissed him off one day or Matt Damon is just so much nicer. I wonder how Adam feels about it. I imagine Adam sat there watching one of these videos expecting to hear his name then hearing Matt Damon. WTF. 🤣
Who's the nicest deity you know? Vishnu. Who's the biggest jerk? Jehovah. Is it bigger than Michael J. Fox's? I don't look down there. Stop asking me the question...
Fun fact: if you meet him in person and try to ask those questions, he will simply hand you his business card that has the answers.
Really
Now that’s is cool
Must be nice to never ever have to lift a finger after playing the same character 7 times.
He should update it with a QR code that links to this video :)
@@joepermenter7228 after nailing it 7 times
"Hey, man, you were so great in Back to the Future! Would you mind answering a couple questions?"
Tom: (sighs and takes out guitar)
I bet he always carries a ukulele with him just to be prepared
OMG totally. LMAO
It's on a card he'll give you
And now he gets asked to sing this song all the time. He should write a song called "Tom's Not Gonna Sing That Song Any More!"
lol that would be amazing :)
“STOP ASKING ME TO SING IT!”
He had such a smile when he said "Back to the Future IV" wasn't happening.
Hah!
Same here!! No need to...
😂maybe he is just glad he doesn’t have to be in a manure science again
Crap but hey, we really don’t know. I mean literally time changes. Pun intended. Funny how nice people ? Are the best a holes in tv and movies.
Third part was already forced
Biff really mellowed as he got older 😊
Shut up butthead 😂
That punch really did him some good.
I keep hearing that Tom’s very nice in person, and proof of that is that on Crispin Glover, he stops at ”unusual”.

Whatever he is making - he deserves every cent.

Don't feel bad Tom. My friend is a producer and I've asked her and I still don't know what she does. LOL.

Great! :-D In these 1:44 minutes I went from utter indifference to really liking this man.
I love everything about this.
The fact that Biff is a character that you would never imagine playing a musical instrument makes one more aware of how great of an actor Tomas is!
He plays a guitar and there's another clip of him doing the same song with a ukelele. Obviously talented.
If you ask me, this is one of the greatest actors in the world, ever, period.

Oh yea
It was made better as time went on. That version your referring to is 15 years old.
He also has changed his answer about who the nicest famous person he knows is. But so far I’ve only seen Busey as the worst.
Fact: All you need is one celebrated role to be paid forever.
“Stop asking me the question!” 🤣🤣
This man is a national treasure. XD
This is why i always try to challenge people I meet with questions they are not expecting. If I met Tom, I would probably ask about the guitars he has or some wicked obscure project.

A sensational song.
i’ve watched this like 30 times
Crispin Glover, Gary Busey, and five producers disliked.
I'm sure Crispin Glover would agree that he's unusual.
i made it my goal in life to meet him and ask him every question that isn’t movie related at all
Ask him about his work on SpongeBob
I think he has a nice singing voice!
Funny guy. You can tell he still loves the fact that he was part of such an iconic movie, despite the endless questions.
Bit harsh on Busey, though. Guy smashed himself up in a motorcycle accident and suffered serious brain damage, so that might explain his "eccentric" behaviour.
he may well have been a bell end before that though
@@stevenfairlie3407 Possibly. But then again, he _is_ an actor...

This should have been in Back to the Future the musical
This is fabulous
Hilarious! Truthfully, I'd ask him more about his acting on Freaks And Geeks over BTTF.
Биф, ты прекрасен!
"Al, Al, it's your cousin - Marvin. Marvin Yankovic! Here's that sound you were after!"
this is the best version
Excellent!

Did Gary Busey dislike this?? 😆
Gary Busey dislikes everything😂😂
Can you call my friend a butthead on his answering machine?

How do the hoverboards fly?
IT'S A MOVIE!!!!
Was that real manure?
What does a producer do?

Back to the Future 4?
Play the video game.
Grip here, we don't fix the lights lol.
Still got mentioned by Biff, eh?
@@tombstoneharrystudios584 what do you do?
I wonder if he has done anymore standup
No questions about Lea Thompson? 🤔
There was a version he did at a convention where he sang "What's Lea Thompson like? Hoooot....".
Was that Wren from Corridor in the crowd at the end?
I drive a DeLorean and let's just say Tom was spot on on that line. The quality control in the North of Ireland in 1982 was.. not great. :)
One question,What is the original song?
The melody is familiar to me
What's Eric Stoltz like?
"Who?"
hahahahhaa que genio !!! 👏👏👏👏👏
You think he gets questions about Wing Commander?
That's hilarious!
Legend 🤣
Bttf 4 more likely as days go on
😂 it's a mooovie ❤
The bully essentialy becomes the good guy
If I met him I'd ask "is Gary busey really a jerk, or does his name just kinda sorta rhyme with "more than you do"?
... unusual 🤣
He is sick and tired of people asking him questions about the movie, so he came up with a song so everybody can stop asking him questions.
