I like the theory that Biff couldn't afford to get his car cleaned a second time, but found great joy in doing it himself. He's happy because he actually likes his job
becasue george was only slightly more succesful at this point, and was bout to become far more when he got the book published. then we can assume he moves after that
But his one brother and sister have followed almost completely different paths, yet not enough to where they were wearing the exact same clothes and took that exact same photo together. The jailbird stays a jailbird. He's a nexus being,
@@Johnadams20760 I think they established that he was already a successful author and this was his latest novel. The total remodel of the house and the nice cars point to the fact that he wasn't just slightly more successful. They kept them in the same house so the audience could easily contrast it to the original timeline house. It's more effective visually and allows Marty to return to his same bedroom that he left at the beginning of the movie.
I like the theory that timeline B Biff (the nice one) has been trying to solve the mystery of who Calvin Klein really was. He gets most of the pieces and has some theories that it might involve time travel. He sucks up to the McFly's once Marty starts to look like a dead ringer for Calvin Klein. He's watching them, trying to find out what happened. Then when he sees them take off in a flying Delorean, he knows it's time travel. In the future, he already has the whole plan hashed out.
Biff showed himself to be a psychopath through and through. The amazing part is that he didn't end up in prison. We really see how evil he is in the second movie, and we got a dose of it in the first one. But part II Biff was next level. We even see in the second movie, his affable behavior at the end of the first was just an act.
What bothers me is all bets are off when Marty gets hit by the car instead of George. OK, so Marty gets George and Lorraine together; it's a different George! This is a confident George. This is a George that may find an even better girlfriend than Lorraine, and marry her, and produce different kids. Or maybe he and Lorraine DO get married, and decide to stop at just two kids. Marty would have had to go back in time further, and stop himself from stopping George from getting hit by the car. Only then could Marty's existence be guaranteed.
Well yeah, in the alternate line, they f**k at a different time or at a different angle and a different sperm makes different kids. But that's no fun is it? Pretending that the kids will be the same people but in a different situation is more fun.
I’m reminded of the scene where Marty is in the car with Lorraine, discovers that she smokes and drinks, and then she initiates the intended sexual encounter, not him, as his plan was to pose as the aggressor as George would rescue her. And now I think of the lyric “bad girl’s dream” in “Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News, whereas Lorraine says at the diner that Marty’s “…an absolute dream…!”
Meanwhile, let's just appreciate the fact that BTTF 2 didn't go with that deleted scene where old Biff ended up fading out of existence after sneaking a ride in the DeLorean! Yup, it's on UA-cam for all to see.😂❤
Maybe the solution is that alternative timelines can converge as well as diverge, so that events in 1955A (where Marty Prime is trying to instill confidence in George) might differ from events in 1955B (where Marty A is shocked to find that the confident, successful father he knows is a nervous wimp, being bullied by Biff), but they can both arrive at the same state of reality by 1985 (which would be 1985A, where George is a success and he and Lorraine are in love).
heres my theory: every time doc brown and marty traveled back in time and changed something, they destroyed their previous timeline, annihilating the entire population of the earth.
the fading photos imply there is no corpse doc brown until the instant biff decides to go back to 1955. We see photos react based on probability like when Marty sees his own grave but ends up coming out ahead. Honestly is probably a half corpse at that fading in more and more and only completed when the deloreon is struck by lightning. ALSO you could say it was only fully there when Biff made the choice to kill Doc. This stuff will make your head spin.
Biff only became nice in 1985 because he realises that he needs to learn his lesson after being bashed by George McFly and his experience crashing into a manure truck, would you still persevere to have your old attitude if such consequences happened to you?
In Timeline B, Doc Brown searched out Marty to make sure they became friends, stole the Plutonium to not change the future, and made sure to be in the lone pines mall at the same day, according to the letter. Then Doc set the time circuts to, instead of 1955, some time in -3000 BC or something, to kill Marty B. He didn't want to do this, but it was the only way to make sure 1955 doesn't get overwelmed with Marties.
He should have won an award, just for playing 'Gay Biff', at the end of the first film! He's just so damn Happy ;) And yes, if they released a set of figures, featuring every iteration of the character, ''even the one that's full of manure' (I heard a rumor he doesn't like it?¿¿¿?) I know it's scandalous to suggest but there is evidence, if you REALLY look close).
yes there are probably hundreds of theories you can think of in fact of the future. The obvious one is why they didn’t recognise Marty in 1985 from the market they knew in 1955. If I were George, I would’ve thought that 1985. Marty was the son of Calvin Klein Marty and that Lorraine had an affair with him
I don’t think it is surprising that George, Lorraine, and Biff don’t recognise Marty as a guy they knew for at most a week 30 years ago. They would all probably remember a guy named Calvin “Marty” Klein but struggle to remember what he looked like. If they did, they’d think the similarity in appearance to Marty is a coincidence. How well could you recognise someone you met for a few days decades ago even if their appearance didn’t change?
@@webguy943 remembering someone from 30yrs ago and remembering exactly how someone looked 30yrs ago is two totally different things, especially when you don’t have any pictures or anything to refresh your memory.. Of course they remember Marty they named their kid after him but to remember exactly how he looked 30yrs when he was 17 is something totally different, not to mention their son Marty didn’t start looking like the past Marty until just now, when their son was 10yrs he didn’t look like past Marty because past Marty was 17yrs old, so if they were to notice a resemblance it would be just now
Main problem for me, is that basically once Marty interfered with his parents’ meeting he was screwed. There was absolutely zero chance he would ever be born. Him(and his siblings) being born relies on one specific sperm hitting one specific egg - there is absolutely no chance that this now happens exactly as before, whether it’s the all powerful Biff timeline or the confident successful George timeline or even some other timeline where they stay broadly the same people. Nothing will happen quite the same - and especially in the two movie timelines where their lives are obviously very different there’s no chance of them having 3 children at the exact same time, never mind those 3 children being the same ones. In reality getting his parents back together at best results in several sisters or brothers of Marty being born, but not him or the sister and brother he knows.
Biff is funny. He has to be contextualized in another cinematographic historical era.Most of the initial critics at the character in this video are not fair if you don't judge a movie as a cultural product of an era. Biff tried to kill Marty.Biff tried to rape Loraine.But he is never depicted as a real threat but as a comedic relief villatin. He is a killer as much as Wile E. Coyote is for Road Runner. In the 80s there were still the "contract with the audience" of the "Hollywood happy ending". They weren't the times of the plot twists- or of the shades of grey.
Imagine the shock of Marty B when he goes back in time to find his confident, well-adjusted father was actually a nerdy wuss and that friendly, polite, and submissive Biff was a bully and potential r*apist.
If you go by the tangent theory in part two, several Marty(s) would have just vanished into thin air, because of all the alternate timelines created. And in plausible reality, Marty could have never gotten back to his own reality because he erased it the first time around. Great insights video 👍🏻
They don't *credit* Biff as much as acknowledge his role in their personal cause and effect; from their perspective, his attempted crime pushed George to stand up for Lorraine in a way she would cherish to the end. Biff didn't turn out nice. He's still a cowardly bully. He's afraid of George as the one guy who ever truly put him in his place (besides maybe Calvin who only appeared for a week). When we see him alone, observing the DeLorean fly off, we see him shed the nice guy façade-and 30 years later, he's still an utter monster who *then* gives his past self the power to become big like he always wanted, and thus was able to overcome his fear of George and "bully" him *completely* out of the picture.
Robert zemeckis and Bob Gail understood perfectly and this is notwithstanding the fact that it's fiction but when you stand up to a bully they respect you when you try to equivocate a bully or run from a bully they have contempt for you but essentially George broke him so thoroughly as well as Marty That Bitch by that time was essentially harmless. Side note don't forget that Thomas Wilson also played Maniac in the wing Commander series
Time travel is impossible, so there are no laws of physics for it. Most people get this wrong. If we start with the Einstein version of the theory, time and space coordinates would make it so that you would actually not be able to see yourself arrive. But if you could you would simply see it as a movie playing out in front of your eyes, the physical you would still be the you watching it, the you arriving later is only a lightshow. But since the physical you would no longer be in those space time coordinates, you would actually not be able to see that, even if in theory the version of you that is the light of you arriving happens later than your arrival. If it was possible to travel back in time. As soon as you would arrive in the past, you would start a new timeline, and you would stop existing in the original time-line. You can't change the past of your own timeline. There is no complete theory behind back to the future. It would not work. But in the back to the future universe, one can actually go back to the future in one's own timeline. But one thing to think about is this. When Marty A gets back to 1985, Doc would not want to accidentally send Marty B back to 1955, as that would change the past again, as the timeline has already been changed. If he thinks the new timeline is stable, he might trick Marty B to get in to the time-machine, as a way of killing him off. But he could have also found a way of making sure Marty B never traveled in time, as he has already changed his own future by saving his own life, but then he would need a way of fixing the Marty A issue. One of them could no longer be Marty McFly, either by one of them dying or one getting a new identity. The timeline ripple effect does not solve that issue. Marty A will never Merge with Marty B. Marty B has to be stopped from travelling back in time, in order not to change 1955 again. And Doc would have to have made sure to write documents for Marty A to study Marty Bs life, if doc intends for him to start living Marty Bs life. Doc would hav probably not wanted to have as close relationship with Marty B if he wants to be able to kill him off. But he would have had to trick him somehow. If Marty B travels back in time, there would be a Marty C. They never thought it through. It is as simple as that. But the best way to solve the issue is simply to kill off Marty B, instead of letting him travel in time. They could hav then used the time ripple effect to have marty A arrive, seeing himself leave, but then the whole world would glitch, and things would change (he would have then also arrived at the twin pine mall). They could have solved it by Marty Crying, looking down in to the asphalt and then suddenly hearing a car coming, and it is Doc, in the Delorean, and when he looks up, any trace of him travelling in time is erased, the van is no longer there. And they could zoom out to a panorama where it says Lone Pine Mall. Doc would not have to explain why everything changes other than saying it was a timeline ripple. And since Marty wasn't actually the brightest kid, he might never ask what happens to Marty B. Doc just saying this is your story now, giving him a couple of binders. And Marty as he wasn't the kind of guy that took care of his studies, would still arrive at his home, not reading, the binders, not knowing what has changed, until he realizes he probably needs to read up on things, when he realizes how much has changed. They need the timeline ripple effect to be able to get the time-machine from future Biff. And they would have to leave before the future corrects itself to the new future. They were really lazy with Jennifer. If Marty arrives in 1985, and intervenes with her meeting himself before he goes to the future, so she doesn't go along, on the ride, then she would stop existing. The fax could have been found in the car somehow. They never play up their relationship changing with when she realizes that the future is changed, so it isn't important for the storyline really for it to be her that reads the fax as the letters disappears. The audience would still get the meaning of it. But since they never formed a proper theory, their storytelling does'nt even work for their time travel universe. Some plotholes can be explained away, by sheer luck, after the fact. But some are still left in there. Time travel stories are difficult, because you have to invent your own timetravel universe with some logic to the rules. They would not be compatible with other theories. It is pointless to write a story where you leave your own timeline, to change the past. As you will disappear from the original timeline and if you could travel back to the future, you would have to solve the issue of there being more than one of you... or chose to kill yourself off. But then there is an original timeline where you are gone. And a new timeline without any clear narrator of what the results were. Then you have the issue of how to travel in time. I think the best solution would be with some kind of time portal solution. They you either have wormholes. Or lightnings. Or nuclear explosions. Or actually purpose built portals, but then you can never travel to a past before they were actually created for the specific purpose. you could of course give yourself some extra freedom by having aliens building those portals on earth, so there are portals that you can get to, if you find out, how (a bit stargate-y). With a portal, you could use the Time-loop theory, that you actually always traveled in time, so the timeline you are in, is influenced by time travel already. If someone always step out of that portal, at that very time, even in the original timeline, despite them being from the future, at least that lends some plausability to any such theory, withut there having to be an orginal timeline where the time travel never happened. But then you can never change the past as it always happened. So any such time travel story, would either be relevant for a plot twist, a fun history lesson style of adventure, or a character driven story, where the time travel isn't central. Or some kind of puzzle mystery, where you don't know what element of the story, will be solved by a travel in time, and the audience sits there guessing, trying to figure it out before it actually happens.
That's a great reply....I'm just witty enough to make a Biff theory video, but not near intelligent enough to depp dive into the scientific red tape that is the department of physics and how it relates to time travel to the past. If it does exist, it won't be via a machine that someone built in their garage, otherwise....someone by now would have built a functioning time machine in their garage, but since it's a crazy mysterious universe that we'll never fully understand....who knows, maybe there are space-time abnormalities scattered randomly out there like the one in the diner in that Stephen King JFK book.
It's not possible to invent a coherent theory of time travel, that's why it's amusing to see people take it too seriously. As soon as you go back in time and do something, you cause yourself to not exist, or, if you want to say, ok you exist but you're different because of the environment, where is that different person when you return to the future? Where is the Marty McFly that grew up in a wealthy well adjusted home, with experience driving his black 4wd in the mud?
I’m always confused as to how old Biff from the future was able to return the car back to the future he stole it from. That timeline would’ve changed and become the new timeline n which Biff was rich. The moment he gave the sports Almanac to young Biff, the timeline was altered.
I think the changes in the timeline hadn't fully taken effect when he arrived back in 2015, a deleted scene has him vanishing which would suggest the timeline changes were taking effect in waves, otherwise the changes would have been instantaneous and Biff would have vanished in 1955 possibly leaving the car stuck in 1955 and God knows what would have happened to Marty and Doc in 2015
I don't understand why anyone thinks there would be infinite Marties in 1955... After he solves the problem (getting his parents together) and returns to the future (a different future), he has no more need to go back to 1955.... the Marty who originally needed to go to 1955, never existed in the alternate timeline. Of course it's all silliness since time travel can't happen and these conundrums show why it's impossible.
Interesting theory, however, Marty 1 is same Marty who returns and has no idea how his parents are wealthy. Marty 2 can’t go to same past timeline as Marty 1 or they will collide at same entry in Farm. Unless that’s what doc knew what was going to happen, and Marty 1 who came back isn’t affected since he had already went back.
@@RAPIDREWINDYes. Marty still has his original memories of how his parents were at the beginning of the first movie and his original memories of how his whole life was up until the previous night when going back to 1955. It's strange to him how his parents are now so different, his older brother has a better education and job, his mother is thinner and no longer a full blown alcoholic, and his dad is now a successful writer and much more confident. And Biff is much nicer and no longer a bully. About the new meek Biff though, why did he go back to being a lowdown jerkass by 2015? That was the 2015 which stemmed from the new 1985 of improved characters, so why did Biff regress back to having bully characteristics and being someone scheming and stealing the time machine? I've always wondered that.
My idea for why Biff is so kind at the end is because he is afraid of George not only did he stand up to Biff showing he wasn’t afraid of him but also George witnessed Biff attempting to r**e Loraine which would get him prison time meaning at anytime George mcfly could just rat him out of committing a felony and getting him incarcerated
Because redemption is a hard road. Biff did indeed redeem himself but childhood traumas can leave scars on people's brains. Hope that answers your question.
One of my favorite things about this movie is that everyone has their own version of this theory in one way or another. My own version believes that Doc orchestrates it all because when he invented time travel the first time around only one person believed him and that person made a utopia. Doc, feeling resentment, orchestrates it so Marty will travel back in time and convince early Doc that time travel works.
one of the brilliant aspcts of the movie is that it doesnt get too sciency so as to stray from the entertainment, but it gives you just enough to get your wheels turning and start trying to fill in all the blanks.
@@xpusostomos ah. My mistake I explained poorly. Even Doc himself didn't believe it. He just randomly told the story to someone else about the flux capacitor and that person built the first time machine. Doc needs convincing to make the first prototype instead of give it away.
@@xpusostomos he stole one from the guy he told the idea to who invented in his stead. It's not that complicated. It doesn't have to be perfect. The point of the comment is that everyone who grew up with these movies imagined their own scenarios and fun ideas. That's the difference between a kid growing up with stories that people put thought and emotion into and living today in a world dominated by algorithmic copies of templates and chatbots asking rhetorical questions to try and pass a Turing Test to which nobody knows the outcome.
50? that's rookie numbers! :P j/k, I haven't seen the entire movie that many times, but I have seen the ending scenes with the car time travelling prolly over 1k times. Great Scott! My very favorite part of the trilogy was 'part 3' when Marty was just relaxing and chilling out at Doc's house with the hoverboard at his feet - just showing perfect contentedness. He really was right at home, and was just 'future boy' doing his thing! :)
Honestly, I'm glad I'm not too smart. This way I can enjoy the perfect movie. While the Matrix world burns in the Background. The Bombs fall, I'm grappling my Dog and BTTF BLUS As far as all the alternate poop. It's a movie I should just relax! -Joel
With his new found knowledge of what was going to happen, Doc rewired the time machine we see at the end of BTTF to send Marty to a time where Marty would be instantly killed upon arriving therefore preventing a never ending cycle of Martys going back to 1955.
Why the hell would there be that many docs and Marty’s??? I agree that yeah there’s 2 Martys and 3 docs (one dead) But if you watched the movie, it’s pretty straightforward Marty in 1955 Future Marty in 1955 Dead Doc 1955 Doc Doc from 1985 That’s it, there’s no reason there would be more Marty shows up when the first Time Machine goes back so now there’s only one Time Machine, Doc in 1985 is the now older 1955 Doc There’s not a billion martyrs and Docs, that makes no sense
I based that on the movie using the single timeline premise, sure it only shows the 2 Martys and 2 Docs alive at the same time in the same time period, but that was for the sake of telling the story in the most simplistic form, but in reality, each successive trip to 1955 from the mall parking lot by marty evading terrorists would ultimately lead to yet another Marty arriving in Hill Valley in 1955, same place, same time, and another Marty arriving shortly thereafter to steal the sports almanac from young Biff...it would be like that episode of Family Guy, Back to the pilot where that same point in time fills up with infinite Brian and Stewies.
@@RAPIDREWINDI get what youre saying BUT in BTTF film it's mostly a closed timeloop each time. AND they don't deliberately go back in time to interact with themselves. Ie. Marty doesnt wait on the sidewalk for the first Marty to stop him saving George. Then a third Marty yelling "no! Don't stop him from saving George." That would create an open timeloop (which would have been funny though) meaning no clean return or reoccuring, dramatic and problematic futures as by then even George would see multiple Martys. A bit like looking into 2 mirrors and seeing infinite reflections of yourself. In BTTF, the timeloop always closes for example in BTTF3 when Marty returns from the adventures of 2 and 3 he returned more or less to the same point in time after which he left which is why he isnt classed as a missing person in 2015 because they were always returning back to 1985 via the old west. If he had somehow got shot in 2015 or the old west then he would have been missing. A little like going on a vacation from work, you're always due to return but if you don't when they expect you, then everyone will consider you AWOL. The main issue for me is - was it the posh Marty who had a good life that went into the Delorean to go to 1955 in the lone pines scene? Or did the Doc play along all those years OR did everything change around Marty only when the original Marty went back to 1955? Great vid BTW ✨🏆✨ and like you mentioned, this film really does has some complexities, the deeper you go!
Marty "B" (from the timeline in which the mall is called Lone Pine Mall) and his Delorean (Delorean "B") materialize in 1955 at the exact same time/space coordinates at which Delorean "A" materialized. I presume that this somehow forces them to merge in some way. Does it create a new timeline? I don't know. Maybe. Perhaps the fusion results in Marty "B" replacing Marty "A." But if they don't get fused at all, then what does happen, physically, in that instant? Do they destroy each other?
Yes there are probably hundreds of theories you can think of in back to the future. The obvious one is why they didn’t recognise Marty in 1985 from the marty they knew in 1955. If I were George, I would’ve thought that the 1985 Marty was the son of the Calvin Klein Marty in 1955 and that Lorraine had an affair. in part two… maybe the reason why biff told Marty that he trashed his car in a race car accident when really he crashed a manure truck was that he was embarrassed about it. However, when Marty told him that he recalled him hitting a manur truck biff then asked Marty - how did he know about that? well, how do you expect biff he’s the one that calls the accident… don’t you remember him?
@@RAPIDREWIND Not OP but as far as the Old West set goes, its just a grassy field now. They originally left it standing after filming to be a tourist destination, but sometime in the 90s the lot was struck by lightning (I know, how ironic), and the entire thing burnt to the ground sadly. I've watched a video where a couple visits it, and you can find bits and pieces of debris, say from a wagon or a part of the water tower, in the lot, but nothing is left standing.
Biff would have gotten revenge on George after the big punch there is no way Biff would have been a wimpy coward from that night on he would have ambushed George at some point after school. So the ending with wimpy Biff waxing George's BMW makes no sense.
I guess with this movie, certain disbeliefs have to be suspended. I don't know if Biff would have suddenly turned nice after one punch.. .or if George beat him into submission several times afterwards.
Well, Biff did show his true colors by shooting him in the alternate timeline. Maybe when he didn't own the cops in the OG he did some time in prison for trying to rape Lorraine, was taught a trade in waxing cars, and he came out a reformed man??
I don't think Biff was being nice at the end of BTTF he had at best been house trained because George was no longer a wimp who could be pushed around by him! he was as hateful as ever.
What about the first thing doc did was send Einstein the dog 1 minute into the future & he came back aftet a minute....why aren't they two einsteins.? When Marty goes to the future there are two Martys... 😂... .. Which i thought would would be impossable because would be a future where Marty just dissapeared that day he left in the Delorian and there would not be two of him as long as he's there from the past but would not make a good story though...... It is just a movie for entertainment .
Yes, that part bugged me, too. In some (maybe most) time travel stories, when a person travels forward in time he does not find a future version of himself, because he has disappeared from the timeline by making the trip. Now when Doc went to 2015 solo, it made sense that he was able to see and interact with future Marty, Jennifer, and their kids. But when he took 1985 Marty and Jennifer with him to 2015, there ought not to have been any future versions of those two. Sending Einstein into the future simply removes him from the timeline and puts him back one minute later.
What if Marty met Kyle Reese? 2:52 Meritocracy has never been the status quo. Kakistocracy (the technical term for what we nowadays call "idiocracy") has always been the status quo. 2:56 🙃
I understand your thinking on this you do have some miscalculations and incorrect assumptions. To be fair, I grew up with this movie and between this and The Terminator, somewhere along the lines, I started having fun dissecting movies and their timelines based upon the movies description of time travel. For example with The Terminator, the movie and story that we watch is actually the third timeline or altered timeline. When watching Back to the Future, it actually all equals out and I would love to show you, I'm just not willing to make a UA-cam video, "cause I'm a slacker" !
would be something I'd love to have a conversation about, I grew up a kid in the 80s with this movie as well but knew i'd probably get a few things wrong when I made this. I'm actually working on another one...a bttf theory of everything kind of video that will attempt to chronical every possible timeline, the cause and effects, the paradoxes, the works....but it will take a long time to produce as I want to get it as complete as I can despite my lack of theoretical physics expertise.
@@RAPIDREWIND I would definitely love to talk to you and I think that some of the information that I have, I have spent WAY too much mental power thinking about this stuff, might help with the upcoming video. I love the fact that you do this and that this movie is still such a fantastic movie after all of these years, I started watching reaction videos a few years ago and try to never miss a reaction to this movie.
Heres a thought in 1885 Doc buries a Delorean in a cave How is it Young Doc in 1955 had no knowledge of it in part 1 of the movie? couldnt Marty have used that to go home? an in 1885 Marty rips a fuel Line Isnt there another Delorean Buried there ?they could have taken that home right?dont forget Mad Dog Tannen in a deleted scene he murders the Marshal but u see the Deputy arresting him say hes being charged for robbing a stagecoach so murder was legal then? ad where did Doc get the Time Circuits to build the Train? and once again Doc has a hover conversion done to a time machine in he video game there were 3 Docs one in Jail one with Marty in a Lab and another from an Alternate time line that wanted to marry Edna Strickland I love the story just confusing to understand
Young Doc had no knowledge of the buried Delorean in 1885 because that was a different Doc who obviously didn't know that it was there, that's why it took Marty going back to him and telling him about it to give him that information that it was there. If there are multiple versions of you in a timeline you aren't going to all have the same shared memories, and thus one version of you could do something (In this case hide the Delorean) and another you ain't gonna know about it. And if they had used the buried Delorean then that would've negated Marty going back to 1885 because they would've taken the Delorean from the mine in 1885 to use and it wouldn't have been there in 1955 for Young Doc and Marty to get it running to return to 1885 in the first place. And even IF they had done that they didn't have gas, remember? That's why they had to use the whole train scheme in the first place to push the car up to 88 MPH because gas hadn't been invented yet. They had even tried horses and very strong alcohol, both of which failed to achieve the necessary speed. Doc said that Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor, but the Delorean still needs gas to power the ordinary combustion engine. Doc in 1885 also says that there probably wouldn't be gas station until sometime in the next century.
If I have to watch another damn foreigner talk about American movies I will crap myself. Watch movies from your own country. You are from Canada and NOT the USA!
@stevent7944 and Michael J Fox is Canadian, you must really be beside yourself with anguish watching a Canadian star in an American movie when by your rational, he would have no business being in it.
@@RAPIDREWIND confused matthew is a guy who made a bunch of UA-cam videos reviewing a bunch of movie's and both back the future part 2 and star trek Generations are movies that he had mostly negative things to say about.
Oh no Infact he brings up an interesting point about biff that biff is the way he is at the end of the first movie because Marty was able to get the book back from him at the end of the second movie@@RAPIDREWIND

I like the theory that Biff couldn't afford to get his car cleaned a second time, but found great joy in doing it himself. He's happy because he actually likes his job
the real question is: why are they still living in the same house?

@@Johnadams20760 I think they established that he was already a successful author and this was his latest novel. The total remodel of the house and the nice cars point to the fact that he wasn't just slightly more successful. They kept them in the same house so the audience could easily contrast it to the original timeline house. It's more effective visually and allows Marty to return to his same bedroom that he left at the beginning of the movie.

I like the theory that timeline B Biff (the nice one) has been trying to solve the mystery of who Calvin Klein really was. He gets most of the pieces and has some theories that it might involve time travel. He sucks up to the McFly's once Marty starts to look like a dead ringer for Calvin Klein. He's watching them, trying to find out what happened. Then when he sees them take off in a flying Delorean, he knows it's time travel. In the future, he already has the whole plan hashed out.
That's a pretty good theory. The pieces fit without contradicting canon.
Biff showed himself to be a psychopath through and through. The amazing part is that he didn't end up in prison. We really see how evil he is in the second movie, and we got a dose of it in the first one. But part II Biff was next level. We even see in the second movie, his affable behavior at the end of the first was just an act.
Have you heard he is based on Trump 😂

The movie came out 1989, not 2016.
The original Marty didn't get mad when someone called him chicken. So Marty changed in the sequels because he had anger management issues.
What bothers me is all bets are off when Marty gets hit by the car instead of George. OK, so Marty gets George and Lorraine together; it's a different George! This is a confident George. This is a George that may find an even better girlfriend than Lorraine, and marry her, and produce different kids. Or maybe he and Lorraine DO get married, and decide to stop at just two kids.
Marty would have had to go back in time further, and stop himself from stopping George from getting hit by the car. Only then could Marty's existence be guaranteed.
Well yeah, in the alternate line, they f**k at a different time or at a different angle and a different sperm makes different kids. But that's no fun is it? Pretending that the kids will be the same people but in a different situation is more fun.
I’m reminded of the scene where Marty is in the car with Lorraine, discovers that she smokes and drinks, and then she initiates the intended sexual encounter, not him, as his plan was to pose as the aggressor as George would rescue her. And now I think of the lyric “bad girl’s dream” in “Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News, whereas Lorraine says at the diner that Marty’s “…an absolute dream…!”
Tom Wilson played an awesome Biff.
can't imagine anyone else in that role
If George C Scott were younger at that time, he could've played a good Biff too.
Personally, I think Crispin Glover's genius is under appreciated in the movie.
Meanwhile, let's just appreciate the fact that BTTF 2 didn't go with that deleted scene where old Biff ended up fading out of existence after sneaking a ride in the DeLorean! Yup, it's on UA-cam for all to see.😂❤
It's because he died in the 90's. The timeline changed right when he gets back.
Maybe the solution is that alternative timelines can converge as well as diverge, so that events in 1955A (where Marty Prime is trying to instill confidence in George) might differ from events in 1955B (where Marty A is shocked to find that the confident, successful father he knows is a nervous wimp, being bullied by Biff), but they can both arrive at the same state of reality by 1985 (which would be 1985A, where George is a success and he and Lorraine are in love).
How is it converging when it's different?
This is the reason time traveling into the past is impossible

heres my theory: every time doc brown and marty traveled back in time and changed something, they destroyed their previous timeline, annihilating the entire population of the earth.
I really love the Back to the future fandom.
the fading photos imply there is no corpse doc brown until the instant biff decides to go back to 1955. We see photos react based on probability like when Marty sees his own grave but ends up coming out ahead. Honestly is probably a half corpse at that fading in more and more and only completed when the deloreon is struck by lightning. ALSO you could say it was only fully there when Biff made the choice to kill Doc. This stuff will make your head spin.
Of course that raises the question of what higher power is capable of calculating probability of future events to cause the right level of fade.
Biff only became nice in 1985 because he realises that he needs to learn his lesson after being bashed by George McFly and his experience crashing into a manure truck, would you still persevere to have your old attitude if such consequences happened to you?
In Timeline B, Doc Brown searched out Marty to make sure they became friends, stole the Plutonium to not change the future, and made sure to be in the lone pines mall at the same day, according to the letter. Then Doc set the time circuts to, instead of 1955, some time in -3000 BC or something, to kill Marty B. He didn't want to do this, but it was the only way to make sure 1955 doesn't get overwelmed with Marties.
and technically it would get overrun with Marties, so there is some validity there.
@@RAPIDREWIND Thanks!
How would going all the way back to 3000BC have anything to do with it?

(I heard a rumor he doesn't like it?¿¿¿?)

yes there are probably hundreds of theories you can think of in fact of the future.
The obvious one is why they didn’t recognise Marty in 1985 from the market they knew in 1955. If I were George, I would’ve thought that 1985. Marty was the son of Calvin Klein Marty and that Lorraine had an affair with him
I don’t think it is surprising that George, Lorraine, and Biff don’t recognise Marty as a guy they knew for at most a week 30 years ago. They would all probably remember a guy named Calvin “Marty” Klein but struggle to remember what he looked like. If they did, they’d think the similarity in appearance to Marty is a coincidence. How well could you recognise someone you met for a few days decades ago even if their appearance didn’t change?
@@anthonytarczynski5423 i still remember ppl from high school. It was 30 yrs ago.

@@webguy943 remembering someone from 30yrs ago and remembering exactly how someone looked 30yrs ago is two totally different things, especially when you don’t have any pictures or anything to refresh your memory.. Of course they remember Marty they named their kid after him but to remember exactly how he looked 30yrs when he was 17 is something totally different, not to mention their son Marty didn’t start looking like the past Marty until just now, when their son was 10yrs he didn’t look like past Marty because past Marty was 17yrs old, so if they were to notice a resemblance it would be just now
Main problem for me, is that basically once Marty interfered with his parents’ meeting he was screwed. There was absolutely zero chance he would ever be born. Him(and his siblings) being born relies on one specific sperm hitting one specific egg - there is absolutely no chance that this now happens exactly as before, whether it’s the all powerful Biff timeline or the confident successful George timeline or even some other timeline where they stay broadly the same people. Nothing will happen quite the same - and especially in the two movie timelines where their lives are obviously very different there’s no chance of them having 3 children at the exact same time, never mind those 3 children being the same ones.
In reality getting his parents back together at best results in several sisters or brothers of Marty being born, but not him or the sister and brother he knows.
My guess is Doc Brown went to the future and found out Biff was the one who killed him.
Biff is funny. He has to be contextualized in another cinematographic historical era.Most of the initial critics at the character in this video are not fair if you don't judge a movie as a cultural product of an era. Biff tried to kill Marty.Biff tried to rape Loraine.But he is never depicted as a real threat but as a comedic relief villatin. He is a killer as much as Wile E. Coyote is for Road Runner. In the 80s there were still the "contract with the audience" of the "Hollywood happy ending". They weren't the times of the plot twists- or of the shades of grey.
Imagine the shock of Marty B when he goes back in time to find his confident, well-adjusted father was actually a nerdy wuss and that friendly, polite, and submissive Biff was a bully and potential r*apist.
If you go by the tangent theory in part two, several Marty(s) would have just vanished into thin air, because of all the alternate timelines created. And in plausible reality, Marty could have never gotten back to his own reality because he erased it the first time around. Great insights video 👍🏻
Biff is the most impactful character in the series.
They don't *credit* Biff as much as acknowledge his role in their personal cause and effect; from their perspective, his attempted crime pushed George to stand up for Lorraine in a way she would cherish to the end.
Biff didn't turn out nice. He's still a cowardly bully. He's afraid of George as the one guy who ever truly put him in his place (besides maybe Calvin who only appeared for a week). When we see him alone, observing the DeLorean fly off, we see him shed the nice guy façade-and 30 years later, he's still an utter monster who *then* gives his past self the power to become big like he always wanted, and thus was able to overcome his fear of George and "bully" him *completely* out of the picture.
Robert zemeckis and Bob Gail understood perfectly and this is notwithstanding the fact that it's fiction but when you stand up to a bully they respect you when you try to equivocate a bully or run from a bully they have contempt for you but essentially George broke him so thoroughly as well as Marty That Bitch by that time was essentially harmless.
Side note don't forget that Thomas Wilson also played Maniac in the wing Commander series
Time travel is impossible, so there are no laws of physics for it. Most people get this wrong. If we start with the Einstein version of the theory, time and space coordinates would make it so that you would actually not be able to see yourself arrive. But if you could you would simply see it as a movie playing out in front of your eyes, the physical you would still be the you watching it, the you arriving later is only a lightshow. But since the physical you would no longer be in those space time coordinates, you would actually not be able to see that, even if in theory the version of you that is the light of you arriving happens later than your arrival.
If it was possible to travel back in time. As soon as you would arrive in the past, you would start a new timeline, and you would stop existing in the original time-line. You can't change the past of your own timeline.
There is no complete theory behind back to the future. It would not work. But in the back to the future universe, one can actually go back to the future in one's own timeline.
But one thing to think about is this. When Marty A gets back to 1985, Doc would not want to accidentally send Marty B back to 1955, as that would change the past again, as the timeline has already been changed. If he thinks the new timeline is stable, he might trick Marty B to get in to the time-machine, as a way of killing him off. But he could have also found a way of making sure Marty B never traveled in time, as he has already changed his own future by saving his own life, but then he would need a way of fixing the Marty A issue. One of them could no longer be Marty McFly, either by one of them dying or one getting a new identity.
The timeline ripple effect does not solve that issue. Marty A will never Merge with Marty B. Marty B has to be stopped from travelling back in time, in order not to change 1955 again. And Doc would have to have made sure to write documents for Marty A to study Marty Bs life, if doc intends for him to start living Marty Bs life. Doc would hav probably not wanted to have as close relationship with Marty B if he wants to be able to kill him off.
But he would have had to trick him somehow.
If Marty B travels back in time, there would be a Marty C.
They never thought it through. It is as simple as that. But the best way to solve the issue is simply to kill off Marty B, instead of letting him travel in time. They could hav then used the time ripple effect to have marty A arrive, seeing himself leave, but then the whole world would glitch, and things would change (he would have then also arrived at the twin pine mall). They could have solved it by Marty Crying, looking down in to the asphalt and then suddenly hearing a car coming, and it is Doc, in the Delorean, and when he looks up, any trace of him travelling in time is erased, the van is no longer there. And they could zoom out to a panorama where it says Lone Pine Mall.
Doc would not have to explain why everything changes other than saying it was a timeline ripple. And since Marty wasn't actually the brightest kid, he might never ask what happens to Marty B. Doc just saying this is your story now, giving him a couple of binders. And Marty as he wasn't the kind of guy that took care of his studies, would still arrive at his home, not reading, the binders, not knowing what has changed, until he realizes he probably needs to read up on things, when he realizes how much has changed.
They need the timeline ripple effect to be able to get the time-machine from future Biff. And they would have to leave before the future corrects itself to the new future.
They were really lazy with Jennifer. If Marty arrives in 1985, and intervenes with her meeting himself before he goes to the future, so she doesn't go along, on the ride, then she would stop existing. The fax could have been found in the car somehow. They never play up their relationship changing with when she realizes that the future is changed, so it isn't important for the storyline really for it to be her that reads the fax as the letters disappears. The audience would still get the meaning of it.
But since they never formed a proper theory, their storytelling does'nt even work for their time travel universe. Some plotholes can be explained away, by sheer luck, after the fact. But some are still left in there.
Time travel stories are difficult, because you have to invent your own timetravel universe with some logic to the rules. They would not be compatible with other theories.
It is pointless to write a story where you leave your own timeline, to change the past. As you will disappear from the original timeline and if you could travel back to the future, you would have to solve the issue of there being more than one of you... or chose to kill yourself off. But then there is an original timeline where you are gone. And a new timeline without any clear narrator of what the results were.
Then you have the issue of how to travel in time. I think the best solution would be with some kind of time portal solution. They you either have wormholes. Or lightnings. Or nuclear explosions.
Or actually purpose built portals, but then you can never travel to a past before they were actually created for the specific purpose. you could of course give yourself some extra freedom by having aliens building those portals on earth, so there are portals that you can get to, if you find out, how (a bit stargate-y).
With a portal, you could use the Time-loop theory, that you actually always traveled in time, so the timeline you are in, is influenced by time travel already. If someone always step out of that portal, at that very time, even in the original timeline, despite them being from the future, at least that lends some plausability to any such theory, withut there having to be an orginal timeline where the time travel never happened. But then you can never change the past as it always happened. So any such time travel story, would either be relevant for a plot twist, a fun history lesson style of adventure, or a character driven story, where the time travel isn't central. Or some kind of puzzle mystery, where you don't know what element of the story, will be solved by a travel in time, and the audience sits there guessing, trying to figure it out before it actually happens.
That's a great reply....I'm just witty enough to make a Biff theory video, but not near intelligent enough to depp dive into the scientific red tape that is the department of physics and how it relates to time travel to the past. If it does exist, it won't be via a machine that someone built in their garage, otherwise....someone by now would have built a functioning time machine in their garage, but since it's a crazy mysterious universe that we'll never fully understand....who knows, maybe there are space-time abnormalities scattered randomly out there like the one in the diner in that Stephen King JFK book.
It's not possible to invent a coherent theory of time travel, that's why it's amusing to see people take it too seriously. As soon as you go back in time and do something, you cause yourself to not exist, or, if you want to say, ok you exist but you're different because of the environment, where is that different person when you return to the future? Where is the Marty McFly that grew up in a wealthy well adjusted home, with experience driving his black 4wd in the mud?

I do not claim that negative energy ✝️
I’m always confused as to how old Biff from the future was able to return the car back to the future he stole it from. That timeline would’ve changed and become the new timeline n which Biff was rich. The moment he gave the sports Almanac to young Biff, the timeline was altered.
I think the changes in the timeline hadn't fully taken effect when he arrived back in 2015, a deleted scene has him vanishing which would suggest the timeline changes were taking effect in waves, otherwise the changes would have been instantaneous and Biff would have vanished in 1955 possibly leaving the car stuck in 1955 and God knows what would have happened to Marty and Doc in 2015
Well if Marty Prime is replaced by Marty B in the middle of the night... Marty B Goode.
I don't understand why anyone thinks there would be infinite Marties in 1955... After he solves the problem (getting his parents together) and returns to the future (a different future), he has no more need to go back to 1955.... the Marty who originally needed to go to 1955, never existed in the alternate timeline. Of course it's all silliness since time travel can't happen and these conundrums show why it's impossible.
Interesting theory, however, Marty 1 is same Marty who returns and has no idea how his parents are wealthy. Marty 2 can’t go to same past timeline as Marty 1 or they will collide at same entry in Farm. Unless that’s what doc knew what was going to happen, and Marty 1 who came back isn’t affected since he had already went back.
it is a head scratcher for sure.
@@RAPIDREWINDYes. Marty still has his original memories of how his parents were at the beginning of the first movie and his original memories of how his whole life was up until the previous night when going back to 1955. It's strange to him how his parents are now so different, his older brother has a better education and job, his mother is thinner and no longer a full blown alcoholic, and his dad is now a successful writer and much more confident. And Biff is much nicer and no longer a bully.
About the new meek Biff though, why did he go back to being a lowdown jerkass by 2015? That was the 2015 which stemmed from the new 1985 of improved characters, so why did Biff regress back to having bully characteristics and being someone scheming and stealing the time machine? I've always wondered that.
You just have to be careful.
My idea for why Biff is so kind at the end is because he is afraid of George not only did he stand up to Biff showing he wasn’t afraid of him but also George witnessed Biff attempting to r**e Loraine which would get him prison time meaning at anytime George mcfly could just rat him out of committing a felony and getting him incarcerated
1950s America would say Biff was just "getting fresh" with Lorraine.
Another question. Why old Biff became bad again if the future they went to was nice Biff’s?
I'll have to figure that one out
Because redemption is a hard road. Biff did indeed redeem himself but childhood traumas can leave scars on people's brains. Hope that answers your question.
Biff tannen is one of the greatest movie villian. He's on the same level as Darth Vader or many other great villains of our.generation
Your timeline looks like organic chemistry.
One of my favorite things about this movie is that everyone has their own version of this theory in one way or another.
My own version believes that Doc orchestrates it all because when he invented time travel the first time around only one person believed him and that person made a utopia.
Doc, feeling resentment, orchestrates it so Marty will travel back in time and convince early Doc that time travel works.
one of the brilliant aspcts of the movie is that it doesnt get too sciency so as to stray from the entertainment, but it gives you just enough to get your wheels turning and start trying to fill in all the blanks.
why would he need to convince early Doc that it works?
@@xpusostomos ah. My mistake I explained poorly.
Even Doc himself didn't believe it. He just randomly told the story to someone else about the flux capacitor and that person built the first time machine.
Doc needs convincing to make the first prototype instead of give it away.
@@Loreweavver if doc didn't make the first one, how did he go back in time to convince himself?
@@xpusostomos he stole one from the guy he told the idea to who invented in his stead.
It's not that complicated. It doesn't have to be perfect. The point of the comment is that everyone who grew up with these movies imagined their own scenarios and fun ideas.
That's the difference between a kid growing up with stories that people put thought and emotion into and living today in a world dominated by algorithmic copies of templates and chatbots asking rhetorical questions to try and pass a Turing Test to which nobody knows the outcome.
50? that's rookie numbers! :P j/k, I haven't seen the entire movie that many times, but I have seen the ending scenes with the car time travelling prolly over 1k times. Great Scott! My very favorite part of the trilogy was 'part 3' when Marty was just relaxing and chilling out at Doc's house with the hoverboard at his feet - just showing perfect contentedness. He really was right at home, and was just 'future boy' doing his thing! :)
Honestly, I'm glad I'm not too smart. This way I can enjoy the perfect movie.

-Joel
A more reasonable explanation is that Biff was humbled when he was knocked out by George and spent the next 30 years kissing his butt
With his new found knowledge of what was going to happen, Doc rewired the time machine we see at the end of BTTF to send Marty to a time where Marty would be instantly killed upon arriving therefore preventing a never ending cycle of Martys going back to 1955.
Why the hell would there be that many docs and Marty’s???
I agree that yeah there’s 2 Martys and 3 docs (one dead)
But if you watched the movie, it’s pretty straightforward
Marty in 1955
Future Marty in 1955
Dead Doc
1955 Doc
Doc from 1985
That’s it, there’s no reason there would be more
Marty shows up when the first Time Machine goes back so now there’s only one Time Machine, Doc in 1985 is the now older 1955 Doc
There’s not a billion martyrs and Docs, that makes no sense
I based that on the movie using the single timeline premise, sure it only shows the 2 Martys and 2 Docs alive at the same time in the same time period, but that was for the sake of telling the story in the most simplistic form, but in reality, each successive trip to 1955 from the mall parking lot by marty evading terrorists would ultimately lead to yet another Marty arriving in Hill Valley in 1955, same place, same time, and another Marty arriving shortly thereafter to steal the sports almanac from young Biff...it would be like that episode of Family Guy, Back to the pilot where that same point in time fills up with infinite Brian and Stewies.
@@RAPIDREWINDI get what youre saying BUT in BTTF film it's mostly a closed timeloop each time. AND they don't deliberately go back in time to interact with themselves. Ie. Marty doesnt wait on the sidewalk for the first Marty to stop him saving George. Then a third Marty yelling "no! Don't stop him from saving George." That would create an open timeloop (which would have been funny though) meaning no clean return or reoccuring, dramatic and problematic futures as by then even George would see multiple Martys. A bit like looking into 2 mirrors and seeing infinite reflections of yourself. In BTTF, the timeloop always closes for example in BTTF3 when Marty returns from the adventures of 2 and 3 he returned more or less to the same point in time after which he left which is why he isnt classed as a missing person in 2015 because they were always returning back to 1985 via the old west. If he had somehow got shot in 2015 or the old west then he would have been missing. A little like going on a vacation from work, you're always due to return but if you don't when they expect you, then everyone will consider you AWOL. The main issue for me is - was it the posh Marty who had a good life that went into the Delorean to go to 1955 in the lone pines scene? Or did the Doc play along all those years OR did everything change around Marty only when the original Marty went back to 1955? Great vid BTW ✨🏆✨ and like you mentioned, this film really does has some complexities, the deeper you go!
Marty "B" (from the timeline in which the mall is called Lone Pine Mall) and his Delorean (Delorean "B") materialize in 1955 at the exact same time/space coordinates at which Delorean "A" materialized. I presume that this somehow forces them to merge in some way. Does it create a new timeline? I don't know. Maybe. Perhaps the fusion results in Marty "B" replacing Marty "A." But if they don't get fused at all, then what does happen, physically, in that instant? Do they destroy each other?
...or George just made Biff his bi+
Yes there are probably hundreds of theories you can think of in back to the future.
The obvious one is why they didn’t recognise Marty in 1985 from the marty they knew in 1955. If I were George, I would’ve thought that the 1985 Marty was the son of the Calvin Klein Marty in 1955 and that Lorraine had an affair.
in part two… maybe the reason why biff told Marty that he trashed his car in a race car accident when really he crashed a manure truck was that he was embarrassed about it. However, when Marty told him that he recalled him hitting a manur truck biff then asked Marty - how did he know about that? well, how do you expect biff he’s the one that calls the accident… don’t you remember him?
An older script for the first movie shows George, the sci-fi guy, quietly knowing that Marty was Calvin. Lovely ending scene!
The Biff hypothesis* It's a common mistake but a theory is a completely different thing.
I live by where they filmed part 3.
Very cool....anything left from the sets?
@@RAPIDREWIND Not OP but as far as the Old West set goes, its just a grassy field now. They originally left it standing after filming to be a tourist destination, but sometime in the 90s the lot was struck by lightning (I know, how ironic), and the entire thing burnt to the ground sadly. I've watched a video where a couple visits it, and you can find bits and pieces of debris, say from a wagon or a part of the water tower, in the lot, but nothing is left standing.
Biff would have gotten revenge on George after the big punch there is no way Biff would have been a wimpy coward from that night on he would have ambushed George at some point after school. So the ending with wimpy Biff waxing George's BMW makes no sense.
I guess with this movie, certain disbeliefs have to be suspended. I don't know if Biff would have suddenly turned nice after one punch.. .or if George beat him into submission several times afterwards.
Well, Biff did show his true colors by shooting him in the alternate timeline. Maybe when he didn't own the cops in the OG he did some time in prison for trying to rape Lorraine, was taught a trade in waxing cars, and he came out a reformed man??
9/11 written all over this movie.
There's no October 7th fortunately
The numbers on 1955 Biff's car's license plate add up to 11.
Marty has broken the temporal prime directive is what u saying
Biff suffers under Marty (washing cars in the end), succeeds on his timeline. Two sides of the same coin.
Bro it's a movie!! Are you right in the head
No shit it's a movie lol.
Smarter than I...
I don't think Biff was being nice at the end of BTTF he had at best been house trained because George was no longer a wimp who could be pushed around by him! he was as hateful as ever.
Why Marty is the only mcfly who doesn’t have to deal with a Tannen? Why did they put Flea instead of a Tannen? Who’s Biff son and Griff’s father?
doesn't say who Griff's dad is in the movie, but in the animated series, there is a Biff Junior , so...I'd suppose he was Griff's father.
It's a lighthearted comedy. That's it. Pretty much all the theories are just concoctions of our imaginations.
and a huge thank you to robert zemeckis for triggering my concoctions :)
What about the first thing doc did was send Einstein the dog 1 minute into the future & he came back aftet a minute....why aren't they two einsteins.? When Marty goes to the future there are two Martys... 😂... .. Which i thought would would be impossable because would be a future where Marty just dissapeared that day he left in the Delorian and there would not be two of him as long as he's there from the past but would not make a good story though...... It is just a movie for entertainment .
Yes, that part bugged me, too. In some (maybe most) time travel stories, when a person travels forward in time he does not find a future version of himself, because he has disappeared from the timeline by making the trip. Now when Doc went to 2015 solo, it made sense that he was able to see and interact with future Marty, Jennifer, and their kids. But when he took 1985 Marty and Jennifer with him to 2015, there ought not to have been any future versions of those two. Sending Einstein into the future simply removes him from the timeline and puts him back one minute later.
What if Marty met Kyle Reese?

Also an admittedly more out of context confused matthew quote I feel like is just as appropriate to movie biff is a big problem in this movie.

I understand your thinking on this you do have some miscalculations and incorrect assumptions. To be fair, I grew up with this movie and between this and The Terminator, somewhere along the lines, I started having fun dissecting movies and their timelines based upon the movies description of time travel. For example with The Terminator, the movie and story that we watch is actually the third timeline or altered timeline. When watching Back to the Future, it actually all equals out and I would love to show you, I'm just not willing to make a UA-cam video, "cause I'm a slacker" !
would be something I'd love to have a conversation about, I grew up a kid in the 80s with this movie as well but knew i'd probably get a few things wrong when I made this. I'm actually working on another one...a bttf theory of everything kind of video that will attempt to chronical every possible timeline, the cause and effects, the paradoxes, the works....but it will take a long time to produce as I want to get it as complete as I can despite my lack of theoretical physics expertise.
@@RAPIDREWIND I would definitely love to talk to you and I think that some of the information that I have, I have spent WAY too much mental power thinking about this stuff, might help with the upcoming video. I love the fact that you do this and that this movie is still such a fantastic movie after all of these years, I started watching reaction videos a few years ago and try to never miss a reaction to this movie.
We need Rick Sanchez to explain

Don't out that face in your video again
Heres a thought in 1885 Doc buries a Delorean in a cave How is it Young Doc in 1955 had no knowledge of it in part 1 of the movie? couldnt Marty have used that to go home? an in 1885 Marty rips a fuel Line Isnt there another Delorean Buried there ?they could have taken that home right?dont forget Mad Dog Tannen in a deleted scene he murders the Marshal but u see the Deputy arresting him say hes being charged for robbing a stagecoach so murder was legal then? ad where did Doc get the Time Circuits to build the Train? and once again Doc has a hover conversion done to a time machine in he video game there were 3 Docs one in Jail one with Marty in a Lab and another from an Alternate time line that wanted to marry Edna Strickland I love the story just confusing to understand
Young Doc had no knowledge of the buried Delorean in 1885 because that was a different Doc who obviously didn't know that it was there, that's why it took Marty going back to him and telling him about it to give him that information that it was there. If there are multiple versions of you in a timeline you aren't going to all have the same shared memories, and thus one version of you could do something (In this case hide the Delorean) and another you ain't gonna know about it.
And if they had used the buried Delorean then that would've negated Marty going back to 1885 because they would've taken the Delorean from the mine in 1885 to use and it wouldn't have been there in 1955 for Young Doc and Marty to get it running to return to 1885 in the first place. And even IF they had done that they didn't have gas, remember? That's why they had to use the whole train scheme in the first place to push the car up to 88 MPH because gas hadn't been invented yet. They had even tried horses and very strong alcohol, both of which failed to achieve the necessary speed.
Doc said that Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor, but the Delorean still needs gas to power the ordinary combustion engine. Doc in 1885 also says that there probably wouldn't be gas station until sometime in the next century.
If I have to watch another damn foreigner talk about American movies I will crap myself. Watch movies from your own country. You are from Canada and NOT the USA!
I'll send you some assvwipe, go crap yourself
@stevent7944 and Michael J Fox is Canadian, you must really be beside yourself with anguish watching a Canadian star in an American movie when by your rational, he would have no business being in it.
At 1:05 I have to quote confused matthew and say Scotty doesn't talk like that. Lol
well, he does say that exact line in Star Trek Generations, who is Matthew?
@@RAPIDREWIND confused matthew is a guy who made a bunch of UA-cam videos reviewing a bunch of movie's and both back the future part 2 and star trek Generations are movies that he had mostly negative things to say about.
@@thewewguy8t88 ahhh ok, I'll have to check it out....thought you were referring to yourself in the first person haha
Oh no Infact he brings up an interesting point about biff that biff is the way he is at the end of the first movie because Marty was able to get the book back from him at the end of the second movie@@RAPIDREWIND
