If you know a Doc, you better hang out with the guy as much as possible. The knowledge available! 🤯 But when the flux capacitor comes out better take two steps back
It can never be remade as long as the director and writer (I think those two) are alive. Basically part of their contract that it cannot be remade without their approval and they said it will be over their dead bodies.

"No wonder your president has to be an actor. He's got to look good on television." Joking aside. One needs to remember that in 1955, television was still a new medium. Harry Truman had been the first president to make ocassional televised speeches, and even have his inaugural address covered by TV stations. His successor, Dwight Eisenhower slowly inched things further with more TV addresses, but it was really five years after 1955, when the JFK era really ushered in the age of television being essential to a politician's career.
Still, it seems a bit odd to find the notion of a famous actor becoming president an odd one, considering they at that very moment had a sitting president elected on his public fame as Supreme Allied Commander in WW2. Fame is fame...
@@BDNeon I disagree that fame is fame. It is common now for people to run for office when their only qualification is being famous (Jesse Ventura, Steve Garvey). But it was unusual in the 1950s. Being Supreme Allied Commander involved a lot of strategic thinking, cooperation and leadership. Acting provides name recognition and some powers of communication but little else. Reagan did have experience as governor of California, but Doc wouldn't know about that (yet).
what really sells it is the performance, he stops and looks confused as if he actually sees the audience but shakes his head like "no no, thats ridiculous" and goes back into the scene.
@KamikazeCommie501 It wasn’t cringe for 1985. Doc pulls it off perfectly as opposed to several more recent attempts. It’s just a little weird looking back at it today.
I'm still wondering where I can get lamp shades that nice. I actually work in a small power plant in Massachusetts that was built in 1888. Nobody actually knows, but we all suspect Mr. Edison at least made an inspection of the world's first 10 power plants where I am now.
A gigawatt is equal to one billion watts, and most of us are familiar with a watt. The light bulbs in our homes are typically between 60 and 100 watts. So 1.21 gigawatts would power more than 10 million light bulbs or one fictional flux capacitor in a time-traveling DeLorean.
The light bulbs in our home are about 10w on average (led and similar). The old incandescent light bulbs (the 60-100w ones) are illegal at least in Europe afaik
So I don’t know if my calculations are correct but an average family home consumes about 33000 watt-hours every day, and watt-hours is watts*hours, so 33000/24 = 1375 watts every day? I think? Using that, 1.21 gigawatts can power 880,000 family homes for one day
1.21 GW is not that hard to come by. Hydropower, Windfarms, and Nuclear Power Plants are measured in GW. Using plutonium as fuel would absolutely provide the needed energy, but as doc found, getting ahold of nuclear material is not easy
And that plutonium would be available in every drugstore. People back than were as optimistic about advances in nuclear technology as people are today about I dunno AI and electric cars.
Marty: "I can't be stuck here, I got a life in 1985, I got a girl." Doc: "Is she pretty?" Marty: "Eh, kinda thinking of replacing her with another Jennifer as soon as I get back."
@@SeattlePioneer Not only that, but Jennifer herself will be the new main character and Marty will be the goofy clumsy incompetent comic relief who she's always gretting frustrated at.
Fun Fact: Doc is 35 in 1955 (Born in 1920 according to the novelization) meaning his hair shouldn't be going white yet, however, my personal headcannon is that one of his experiments damaged his hair, causing it to begin turning white.
theres such a thin line between overly cheese and enjoyably relaxed. Back to the future does a breakdance routine along that line, every element is uplifting and heartwarming.
No worries, all you need is about 10% of the average daily power consumption of New York City as a whole. (Yeah, I was bored one day and decided to figure that out. And yes, yes, that's also dependent on a number of variables, I know)
He also played the teacher in the scary as hell Amazing Stories episode "Go To the Head of the Class" which was also directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Spielberg.
Fun fact: in 1955, there actually was a power source capable of generating >1.21 GW of electricity, and it wasn't even that far away. The Grand Coulee Dam in Washing State had a nameplate capacity of 2.28 GW starting in 1949. However... there's no way they could convince the authorities to just *give* them that much power, even for a little while, since that would cause a blackout and mess up the grid in the region (and they'd laugh the idea of a time machine out of the room, and then a Federal agent would show up to confiscate the car for ARPA, the predecessor to DARPA). And there'd be no hope of assembling enough money to purchase that much and all the equipment necessary to then channel it to the car. The dam generates its energy with a series of turbines, so the moment their transmission lines started to blow out, the electricity would disperse, causing their plan to fail. With the lightning strike, it's going to more or less keep going roughly where they channel it, and presumably once they get it into the time machine's systems, it can convert the energy into time travel instead of heat, avoiding the issue.
1:38 If Doc never asked if Jennifer was pretty - meaning Marty forgets he has the newspaper - the entire movie trilogy wouldn't have happened. Kinda funny to think about.
Old Doc: No no no no, this sucker’s electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts- Young Doc: What did I just say? Old Doc: The flux capacitor stores- (REWIND) this sucker’s electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts- Young Doc: 1.21 GIGAWATTS?! 1.21 gigawatts! Great Scott! Marty: Wha- What the hell is a gigawatt?!
Young Doc: How could I have been so careless! One point Twenty-One Gigawatts of electricity! How am I going to generate that kind of power? It can't be done, Tom, CAN'T! Marty: Look, Doc, all we need is a little Plutonium. Young Doc: Pfft! While I'm sure that in 1985 Plutonium is available in every corner drugstore but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by. Marty I'm sorry but I'm afraid you're STUCK here.
Marty: Whoa, Whoa Doc. Stuck here? I can't be stuck here. I got a life in 1985. I got a girl! Young Doc: Is she pretty? Marty: Doc, she's beautiful. She's crazy about me. Look at this. (SHOW'S DOC HER PHONE NUMBER) Look what she wrote here, Doc. I mean, That says it all! (Doc looks away) Marty: Doc, You're my only hope!
@@frederikbeelen459 Young Doc: Marty, I'm sorry. But the only thing capable of generating one point twenty-one gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning. Marty: What did you say?! Young Doc: A bolt of lightning. And we don't even know where or when it's ever going to strike!
It probably vanished due to the butterfly ripple effect taking place. With Marty about to fade from existence, there would be no reason for Jennifer to write that she loves him on the back.
Didn’t they use prosthetics to make Christopher Lloyd look older in the 1985? That’s why I’m part 2 they have Doc say he got a face rejuvenation in the future, so Chris wouldn’t have to wear prosthetics the whole film time?
Apparently, he found the script quite sad; maybe that influenced his serious take on the role. I don't think he really knew his way round a skateboard or guitar like Michael J Fox did either. I think I read that Fox basically said that he was just playing himself how he was in high school in BTTF.
@tavellclinton9256 That's interesting and not something I was aware of. Normally, when you hear of the original casting choices with some films, you think: "Nah, I'm glad they eventually ended up with actor XYZ instead, I can't imagine anyone else playing that role." However, I don't think John Lithgow would have been a bad shout at all. I could definitely see him injecting some animated zaniness and charm but Christopher Lloyd did a brilliant job in the end as we all know.
I love all the coments here. Full of love and respect, and a wish that no remakes will ever be made. I am not so optimistic about that. I see it as inevitable. But if they do, Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox, God bless them, should simply say "Good luck with that."
@@Wildman-zh8lgBut I know my linguistics better than many other people do. I was making a different soft sound joke. I think the third letter of the alphabet of any language at least partly Latin-based started out as the letter “chee” instead of “cee.” Some Middle and Modern English words with “ch” come from Old English words with a soft “chee” (such as cherry, chest, chive, and kitchen).
It’s wild that they shot this scene with Eric Stolts. And then WENT BACK and shot it again with Michael J Fox. The series deals with changing things, back in time, and different people taking roles. And then that’s EXACTLY what they did with the lead character. And he was ERASED from the film’s timeline. It couldn’t be more perfect if they tried.
I love this film as a kid and it partly inspired me to learn electronics. The funny thing is that I now know what flux is and what a capacitor is and I know it sure couldn’t create a time machine! 😂😂😂
> My understanding is that Franklin's kite collected static electricity which was channeled to the ground so the electrical nature could be observed. Lightning didn't actually strike the kite, is my understanding.
I like to imagine that the mispronunciation of gigiwatts was caused by a closed loop, considering Doc first said the word gigiwatts as a knee jerk reaction after hearing it from his future self.
The original ending actually used a nuclear bomb test to get the power. That had to cut it during production because they realized it would be way to expensive and the movie had already run over budget.
There was an easier solution that they might’ve thought of if Bill & Ted had come out first. 1955 Doc Brown was, for lack of a better word, destined to build the time machine in 30 years. That version of him would now know about Marty’s predicament. So 1985 Doc could have theoretically hidden a Plutonium rod in a small lead box somewhere inside the car for the 1955 version of himself to find.
Given how Marty had changed the past by running over one of the twin pines of the mall location, changing it to the "Lone Pine Mall" and given how physical media like Marty's photo of himself and brother and sister change in real time, wouldn't Doc in the video where he says "I am standing at the Twin Pines Mall Parking Lot." Now be say "Lone Pines Mall Parking Lot."?
love the way Doc brown, grabs the the paper flyer , (as if to say) a solution would'nt present it self that quick in the world of scientific endeavours.
When Marty says 'what did you say?' Doc Brown says 'Bolt of lightning...' in the exact same cadance, pitch and tone as he literally just said it... Doing exactly what Marty just asked. Love it!

The very definition of "running it back."

2:45-I like how Doc points at the direction of the audience when he says that. Kind of looks like he's breaking the fourth wall.
what really sells it is the performance, he stops and looks confused as if he actually sees the audience but shakes his head like "no no, thats ridiculous" and goes back into the scene.
That's exactly what he's doing. He's pointing at audiences in 1985 watching the movie for the first time. He's pointing at the future.
He’s thinking fourth-dimensionally
I don't. It's bad enough that he said the name of the movie but taking it further like that was cringe. He took the meme too far.
@KamikazeCommie501 It wasn’t cringe for 1985. Doc pulls it off perfectly as opposed to several more recent attempts. It’s just a little weird looking back at it today.
Doc looking at the picture of Thomas Edison and calling him “Tom” is absolutely priceless.

True
1.21 giga times I would say
Doctor Brown: “Look at me! I’m an old man”
Me: “Well you look exactly the same”
He probably thinks about wrinkles 🤨

I like how Doc just assumed there would be atomic wars in his lifetime.
Considering what was going on in his native time period - it's not hard to imagine
We were all pretty much afraid of that
And that plutonium would be available in every drugstore.
People back than were as optimistic about advances in nuclear technology as people are today about I dunno AI and electric cars.
considering the heat between the soviets and USA then (Cold War)
It was right in the middle of the cold war, with the cuban misile crisis a decade away. The world WAS that affraid and certain about nuclear conflict

"What the hell is a Gigawatts!" LMFAO.
I used to play this scene when I taught students the metric system and how "Giga" is one of the prefixes.
If you’re a logophile like I am, you should know the meaning of “flux capatchittor” (instead of flux capacitor)!
If Marty didn't pocket that "Save the Clock Tower" flyer...he would never have found a Jigowatt lightning for Doc to use!

I love this film as a kid and it partly inspired me to learn electronics. The funny thing is that I now know what flux is and what a capacitor is and I know it sure couldn’t create a time machine! 😂😂😂
Killjoy. Next you'll say I can't make a magic potion with eye of newt.
1:17 Tom Edison right, what about Benjamin Franklin? he got a gigawatt of power when his kite was struck by lightning
>
My understanding is that Franklin's kite collected static electricity which was channeled to the ground so the electrical nature could be observed.
Lightning didn't actually strike the kite, is my understanding.
I did an oil painting of Doc on my channel. Awesome trilogy.
0:31 that's right, you're looking at the future right there!
I like to imagine that the mispronunciation of gigiwatts was caused by a closed loop, considering Doc first said the word gigiwatts as a knee jerk reaction after hearing it from his future self.
Love the music at 2:15
"This is it! THIS is the answer!"
doc: look at me i'm an old man!
me: you literally look the same, doc
0:22 Predicting Fallout?
God bless everyone.
0:44 what did I just say?
1:25 "It's a little hard to come by!" It would have been too funny if these two had attempted to steal plutonium from a government installation😆!
The original ending actually used a nuclear bomb test to get the power. That had to cut it during production because they realized it would be way to expensive and the movie had already run over budget.
There was an easier solution that they might’ve thought of if Bill & Ted had come out first.
1955 Doc Brown was, for lack of a better word, destined to build the time machine in 30 years. That version of him would now know about Marty’s predicament. So 1985 Doc could have theoretically hidden a Plutonium rod in a small lead box somewhere inside the car for the 1955 version of himself to find.
Its sad when you sit back and realize we will never get movies this good ever again
You probably havent watched much movies in the last 40 years
@@octoman511 movies have been awful for 20 years lmao
@@octoman511They have been pretty awful recently
I always wondered how did Marty could up a 1980s camcorder to a 1955 tv with only antenna inputs
2:41
Don: Next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!
Peter Griffin: Ah! Ah! He said it! He said it!
"is she pretty?"😂
IS SHE PRETTY?
Doc asking the important questions.
"Gigawatt" is my new catch-phrase! Giga-giga wat-wuuut? Yeah! Say that all the time
Those were the days mate. 🙏🏽
I too had a life back in 1985
I've just realized that Doc says "back to the future" and it's just like "Back to the future" title of the movie, it's crazy!
Any behind the scenes story about that 1.21 Gigawatts?
2:45 Iconic ❤❤❤
Given how Marty had changed the past by running over one of the twin pines of the mall location, changing it to the "Lone Pine Mall" and given how physical media like Marty's photo of himself and brother and sister change in real time, wouldn't Doc in the video where he says "I am standing at the Twin Pines Mall Parking Lot." Now be say "Lone Pines Mall Parking Lot."?
I love the jiggawatt scene
1:01 Great Scott!
doc, youre my only hope... nice nod to steven's friend
Star wars?
love the way Doc brown, grabs the the paper flyer , (as if to say) a solution would'nt present it self that quick in the world of scientific endeavours.
I was only 15 then. This movie is a load of fun!
"Im an old man" honestly thought he looked old in 55' as well. Just a few more wrinkles in 85'
Hey, while you're sending him back to the future, can you send me back to the past?
Is it me or can anyone else not tell how old Christopher Lloyd is at any time
1.21 GIGAWATTS!?!?!??
Imagine being stuck in 1955. Would have been older than my parents!!
If you were good at remembering sports scores you would be very rich. Live the life of having everything.
@@karamjitdedyal752Yeah, just look at Part 2
Yeh marty would have been 46 years old
