  • In the latest episode of WTF Happened to this Movie? we take a trip back to 1985 to explore the making of Robert Zemeckis' classic sci-fi phenomenon, Back To The Future, starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson. While the film was a massive success, it wasn't exactly smooth sailing from the start and took a while to generate the 1.21 gigawatts needed to make it the cultural powerhouse it is today.

    Oh my god! Can we get over the whole "incest" thing already? It's not like he has sex with his mom. She doesn't even know that she's his mom, and he's visibly disturbed by the fact that she has a crush on him since he does. It's just part of the humour of the situation.

    • @jerrellparker2891

      I agree. It's the inherent awkwardness of the whole situation that creates the tension and the humor. And it actually plays out relatively tame in the movie, considering where it could have gone and the fact that many of the studios at that time wanted "raunchy" content.

      Due to reports of long separated brothers and sisters having sexual feelings for one another, due to similarities in personality and a intangible familiarity/comfort/connection that you take as attraction, it's not that weird that Lorraine would find her son at the same age as her, the perfect man. And she's clearly obsessed with sex (as most teenagers are). Of course, Marty being in the know, is disturbed by her interest in him.

      It’s interesting how she has this innate attraction to Marty that she just assumes is romance... but really it’s, of course a much deeper connection that she can’t even explain; “it’s like I’m kissing my brother”

    @Vodhin 5 років тому +6

    What made BTTF a hit was actually the nostalgic aspect of going back to 1955. I was in my late teens in 1985 and I loved every aspect of this film: the story, the humor, the music... but working in a movie theatre showing this film I noticed how the audience showing up was mostly people in their 40's and 50's - sometimes families with kids in tow, but mostly parents having a date night without the kids. Sure there were younger people and older people, but a lot of the core audience coming to our theatre had been teenagers and twenty-somethings in the 1950's. Knowing that Spielberg's films always feature characters dealing with Generation Gap issues, I can see why he wanted to do this story - he knew this would be a hit with audiences covering a broad age group.
    But truly of note for BTTF is the grand setup of the humor at the start of the film. Everyone knows the difference between prudent middle-aged Loraine and her horny, boy-chasing younger self. Most will have caught the Uncle Joey Didn't Make Parole joke when Marty is introduced to Uncle Joey in his playpen as a baby in 1955 with - not one, but two - jokes: Marty's line "So you're my uncle Joey. Better get used to these bars, kid" followed by Loraine's Mom saying "We take him out but all he does is cry, so we leave him in there". We get two great jokes from one simple setup at the beginning. This film is full of little gags like this, and this attention to the subtleties if story elements makes this such a great film.
    We also know how George's character didn't change from 1955 to 1985 based on events at the beginning of the film, and how his character changed because of Mart'y interference in 1955, but it is actually Marty's character that changes the most: In the beginning of the film Marty is a dreamer, a ne'er-do-well, a wanna be rock star, a slacker, just like his father. By helping George in 1955, Marty's character evolves along the same lines as his father, finding courage and learning to take responsibility for his own future.
    Oh, and studios in the early-mid 1980's didn't require comedy scripts to be raunchy in order to get a green light. There are plenty of hits that were not: Splash, Ghostbusters, Airplane (1 and 2), Sixteen Candles, Stripes, The Breakfast Club, The Blues Brothers, 9 to 5, 48 Hours, Fletch, The Goonies, Beverly Hills cop, etcetera.

    I was there on opening weekend in 1985, when I was 10. That movie had everything. Dramatic tension and comedy. The extraordinary heroism of Marty. The over the top villainy of Biff. Authentic friendship, real romance, a father who must learn from his son, and one of the greatest soundtracks in movie history.
    I personally think the George McFly (version 2) figures out who Marty is and what happened. There are some videos that examine that hypothesis. It adds another brilliant aspect to the end of the movie.

      FYI, Indy would have suffocated and died in that fridge (even if he'd somehow survived the blast concussion and impact on landing). Those old refridgerators didn't open from the inside. There was almost an epidemic of children dying in discarded refridgerators from the '50s clear into the '70s. My generation had this drilled into our heads all throughout childhood. It was pretty much rule #1: Don't play in old refridgerators, you will die.

      There's tube amplifiers, which is the traditional way, but is expensive, fragile and not the most practical, but sound amazing, and there's transistor amplifiers which work in the same way a radio does with transistors. Very durable and user friendly, but sounds different.

      In the 40s and 50s there was a very depressing series of deaths by kids who played with trashed refrigerators in junkyards or in someone's garage. At the time the doors on the fridges latched so they could not be opened from the inside, and kids died of suffocation before anyone found them. There were safety campaigns urging people to remove the doors from trashed fridges. That would have been a lot more on the conscious in the 80s than now.

    From someone here who has lived through the time when this movie came out, I must say that it really touches my emotions to see that it's still being talked about today, Oct 2019, 4 years after the future. I mean the future from 1985. Nevermind that. I was alerted about the premiere of Back To The Future by a family member, knowing that I had an interest in anything to do with time travel. I didn't even know who MJF was. I never had watched Family Ties back then, and still, haven't. I did know of Christopher Lloyd as the crazy looking character from Taxi, which I only watched on occasion. When I watched the previews to the movie, seeing that Lloyd was playing the part of a crazy scientist, I knew right then this movie is gonna be BIG, well, for me at least. Now learning little by little, all of the complications and setbacks the film had during production, getting the right cast members, plot and film studio to accept it, I think to myself WOW! Great Scott!! This movie almost wouldn't have ever existed. It was DENSITY!!

    The success of back to the future is mostly due to the fact that both directors along with spieldbirg payed an outragous attention to small details that people would not normally pay attention to but was well noticed by the viewers . people spent years trying to find a mistake in that movie because of the insignificant impacts that Marty had imposed in the pass and change little details in the future even if they were very small details .. Like the ''Twin Pine Mall '' for starter , whitch turned into the '' Lone Pine Mall '' because of Marty running over one of the pines with the Delorean . Or Marty causing Chuck berry to right the song ''Johnny Be Good '' when he actually learned it from chuck berry's albums himself . or when he influenced Goldie Wilson to become Mayor discovering that it was actually him who caused Goldie to go for politics and mayor

    My mom took me to see BTTF in July 1985 and it is the only movie that I can say actually changed my life. I was never a car kid, but when I saw a DeLorean, I knew I needed to have one, and that is finally something that I'm working on making reality. I also developed my first movie crush in Lea Thompson. She woke my hormones up at 8 years old. I was fortunate enough to see all 3 films in the theater. Two years ago I showed my son the trilogy for the first time on vacation and it truly is a movie that you pass down to your children and they their children. And Back To The Future has only gotten more popular over the decades and there is a never ending demand for a 4th film. Only reason I wish they'd make one is that a fourth Future is the only movie that could pummel an Avengers movie in head-to-head box office combat.

The sequel came, the actors returned and were great, but the script was not up to snuff. That aside. This first movie, is etched in time and can never capture the same magic due to the context of the age, the optimism of the 80's youth and the aspirations brought on by new tech like the casset tape.*

    Also, for the sequels, they did something "very right" -- they basically stuck with Hill Valley and the characters, and continued to put them into different timelines. They could have tried to "expand" it, by moving to New York, or by adding a secretive time police, or by someone else building a time machine for nefarious purposes (yes, they kind of took the idea with Biff creating his 1985), or something else, but they didn't. They kept the formula as it was, and it worked just great (IMHO) :-)
    Something that even continued with the Telltale game, except they added Edna Strickland as a main character. But other than that, it's just like a continuation of the movies, giving "more of the same" that never felt like mindless recycling.

No doubt it being much cheaper was a factor, but he said its futuristic looks was what made them choose it. Besides, the car wasn't involved in many if any stunts (except the barn sequence), so they didn't need a whole fleet, only one or two.
