- In this 1980s sci-fi classic, small-town California teen Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is thrown back into the '50s when an experiment by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) goes awry. Traveling through time in a modified DeLorean car, Marty encounters young versions of his parents (Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson), and must make sure that they fall in love or he'll cease to exist. Even more dauntingly, Marty has to return to his own time and save the life of Doc Brown.

I have no intent on claiming this footage as my own.
I am simply providing commentary and constructive feedback.
George and Lorraine are truely made for eachother. One is a Peeping Tom, the other is an obsessed stalker 😂😂
An obsessed stalker, that wants to do her son.
It's another one of those things that is all in the script, but you probably have to watch a few times to pick up. Lorraine's dad says *another* one of these kids jumped in front of his car, implying that it's not the first time it's happened - we then find out that Lorraine is deep in the "boy-crazy" phase of teenage life, and that implies she's not all that bothered about being seen - and some of the guys know it. Point is, teenagers do crazy things because of their raging hormones, and that was just as true in the '50s as it is now, despite their protestations otherwise!
@@joehoy9242 Yeah. Also: "I'm almost 18! It's not like I've never parked before."
@@joehoy9242 Right. "Another one of these kids..." The word is probably out that Lorraine undresses with her blinds up, and there's a convenient tree outside her window. She might be putting on regular shows - fully aware of what she's doing, yet still maintaining "plausible deniability".
Yeah, the characters started with flaws but ended up better versions of themselves. That's why the movie is taught in filmmaking schools, the script is close to perfect with the character development and all.
George started a cowardly insecure peeping Tom. His only motivation for dating Lorraine is Darth Vader's threat to melt his brain but it was his genuine care for Lorraine that made him face Biff. Even Marty transformed, at the end he's holding a package of his demo tape for the record companies, meaning he's more confident of his talents.
There's a term in cinema called "A Perfect Movie". Back to the Future is one of those movies. The reason is because of all the setup and payoff moments throughout; those little points of interest that seem mundane but later inform, compliment or overall affect the characters, plot and story, bringing everything full circle. A Perfect Movie.
I remember Quentin Tarantino mentioning this once in a interview
No movie is "perfect"
@@manvirshergill1739 they're not actually perfect there's just a term used in Hollywood for certain movies that beat a prerequisite basic criteria set fourth by Movie Makers and critics. the term itself is not to be taken literally
What other movies would you categorize as "perfect"?
@@omgbygollywow according to Tarantino he described the perfect movie as being something that can fit say formula, it may not be your cup of tea but it makes the criteria. Some movies which he mentioned would-be Jaws, The Exorcist, Annie Hall, and Young Frankenstein
Crispen Glover didn't like the end to this movie because he felt it was saying "money solves all of your problems," when: a) it wasn't the money, it was George developing confidence in himself and learning to like himself, and not letting people walk all over him, the money was a side effect, and b) money may not solve all problems, but if you grew up struggling for it, you know it makes a HUGE difference. I've literally seen reactors who know this and grew up this way, cry when they see that Marty gets the truck. It tells me that Crispen Glover has never had to struggle like this, and you don't realize how hard it is until you've had to do things like make the choice between eating and rent, or worse...
Yes! Definitely watch the rest of the trilogy! The time traveling gets a little more confusing.
I'm so hyped to watch the rest!!
@@DeashasAlwaysWatching when you watch the second movie, at the end it says "To Be Concluded..." You should probably hit stop because it starts showing scenes from part 3. You might not want spoilers.
@@DeashasAlwaysWatching don’t worry about that “to be concluded” - it’s fine.
The problem is when they made this movie it was not planned to be a huge hit. The producers looked at it as just another teen comedy with a couple of TV stars and hoped it would make a small profit for them. The ending with Doc coming back and yelling about their kids was truly meant as a joke.
"Yeah right. Like we're gonna make a sequel. Sure."
@@DeashasAlwaysWatching yes please do. Great reaction
About the Peeping Tom thing. The window shade was up while she was undressing. And after her father hits George he says “ANOTHER one of these kids jumped in front of my car. Which means she knows she is putting on a show for all the boys in town, and several have fallen out of the tree.
In the 1950s they didn’t have Internet porn they had in the tree porn.
Yes, there is evidence in the movie that Lorraine was an exhibitionist in her youth.
I love it when George stands up to his bully and gets the girl. For someone who awkward and outout of place in school who got bullied alot, I can relate
When you watch the 2nd one turn the movie of after To Be Concluded comes up. The filmed part 3 at the same time and a trailer of sorts plays to hype up part 3. No spoilers before seeing it yourself
Ohhh thank you so much for telling me!!!
@@DeashasAlwaysWatching And stop the playback the INSTANT you see the "To Be Concluded." It jumps into spoilers REALLY fast, while the music is still playing.
Remember he was only there for a week. It's unlikely they would remember enough details about him to make that connection decades later.
one of the greatest movies ever made! great reaction!!!!!!
I agree :) and thank you!
Robert Zemeckis direct this trilogy. The same man directed Cast Away & Forrest Gump.
I haven't seen cast away or forest Gump 😳
Please watch them both it's Incredible. Both Starring Tom Hanks.
Zemekis also directed Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Contact both are also great movies, Roger Rabbit is even better than great and it's amazing in how they did the effects!!! Also, there are Roger Rabbit Easter Eggs in Back to the Future, Part II.
In regards to recognizing Marty ... I don't remember anyone that I only knew for a week in HS no matter what effect they had on me. But again it's a movie too about time travel so our minds need be a bit open 😉 great reaction as always hermosa ❤️
The idea that "Darth Vader" had a bigger impact on George (notice the front cover of his book) than this high school guy he knew for a blink of an eye makes sense. I'm more skeptical about if Lorraine would forget parking in a car and kissing a guy who reminds her of her brother. It's possible, though. My memories of high school aren't crystal clear as time and other subsequent important life events have dimmed or erased them.
There’s also a concept of contextual recognition, where you recognize someone based on your present context. Perhaps, since I have prosopagnosia, it is more obvious (since I have to rely on context more than faces to recognize people). Basically, because George and Lorraine would not expect their son to have been their strange friend 30 years earlier, they do not recognize him as such. Is the same concept of walking past a coworker when you’re visiting another place where you don’t expect him to be (I was once on an airplane with my boss (I saw him wearing a shirt with the company logo on it) but we didn’t recognize each other. I didn’t realize who it was until I was on the connecting flight.
As Doc says, people aren't thinking 4th dimensionally when they ask that question. What exactly would his parents do with the information of Marty looking like Calvin Klein? At what point would they even notice the similarity? Who's to say they didn't have a big fight 3 or 4 years prior because George was suspicious that Marty wasn't his? For some reason, everyone expects that when Marty travels back to the future, that somehow his parents will just suddenly notice the similarities. But the reality is that they would have noticed for quite some time, and I severely doubt their first thought would be "Calvin Klein was our son from the future!" And hell, even if that is where their minds went, I'm sure they would know better than to interfere with destiny. So they would pretend not to know, even if they did. Regardless, his parents noticing or not noticing would make no material difference in the way they would treat him in that scene.
It was also the simple fact that George and Lorraine grew up with Marty, and so saw his looks gradually change. They didn’t just suddenly run into this teenager who looked just like the teenager from 30 years before. So if the parents had thought about it, they would have long ago laughed it off. Or maybe George suspected Lorraine of looking “Calvin” up years later.
When you said “The adults in the world suck!” I was like Biff entrance stage right! Hahaha
Timing, she's got it!
🎶 "That's The Power Of Love!" 🎶
Fun Fact: The judge who stands up to say that Marty (Michael J. Fox) is "just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis, whose songs "The Power Of Love" and "Back In Time" are featured in this movie.
Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Writers Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis actually received a fan letter from John DeLorean after the film's release, thanking them for immortalizing his car.
Small Connection Fact: When Lorraine follows Marty (Michael J. Fox) back to Doc's house, she and Doc exchange an awkward greeting. This marks the only on-screen dialogue that Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson ever have, though they have appeared together in six movies.
Historical Fact: Apparently, Ronald Reagan was amused by Doc Brown's (Christopher Lloyd) disbelief that an actor like him could become President, so much so that he had the projectionist stop and replay the scene. He also seemed to enjoy it so much that he even made a direct reference of the film in his 1986 State of the Union address: "As they said in the film Back To The Future (1985), 'Where we're going, we don't need roads.'"
I wonder how many people would recognize the name of the various presidents if you went to a time 30 years before they were president. In the very early days the presidents had been prominent in the American Revolution, so they would probably be recognized. I think Donald Trump was famous 30 years earlier as a wealthy real estate developer. Biden was a fairly prominent Senator who had campaigned for president in 1987 (and had to withdraw because he'd lied about various parts of his background). If you went back to the late 70s and said George Bush was president in the late 00s, people might recognize the name and think you're talking about his father, who was the former head of the CIA. But I think that's about it. For most of American history, the reaction would be something along the lines of "Bill Clinton? Who the hell is that?"
Marty's band, The Pinheads, is also a cameo of Huey Lewis' band, The News.
"They found me. I don't know how, but they found me."
"Who, the hippies?"
😂
HAHahah
@@DeashasAlwaysWatching I never thought is was an odd choice until your comments. Now I'm wondering, "So, why would Libyan terrorists use a VW van? Was that the only thing that the airport Rent-A-Car had?"
@@KevinSchmitt77 this is a stretch, but it might be because many Arab organizations and countries were aligned with the Nazis during an after World War II.
Perhaps this is the brand of vehicle they're most familiar with ?
If the VW is the only vehicle jobless hippies can afford, then it's plausible terrorists too.
1:39 Michael J. Fox was 23 when he played the 17-year-old Marty McFly in this film. He turned 24 between the wrapping of filming and the film's initial release date.
Trivia regarding Marty’s parents, not recognizing him: There is a stripped it, but I’m shot scene where George his father looks at an old picture from the dance, and then looks at Marty and realizes what happened.
Fell in love with your personality instantly. Subscribed here and joined your Patreon. People's opinions differ on the order of greatness, but the whole trilogy is a must-watch for everyone. Most iconic time travel movies of all time. Thank you!
okay i just subscribed ... thoroughly enjoyed your reaction ... keep making it fun to watch you and your channel is sure to compete with the best of them
Awee thank you :)
You have to watch the whole trilogy. It’s mandatory. And besides that, it tells one giant, continuous story. 😊
Exactly part one is Marty's parents story... although originally the To Be Continued...thing was actually a joke due to that period of time in the 80's, they never actually were going to make any sequels...but, the demand was big enough so they did. I'm glad they did. 😊
_"The adults in this world suck!"_
~ Deasha, circa 2023
I never thought about a simple answer of Marty: "Sorry Lorraine, but I have a girlfriend". But it's Hollywood and we must extend the movie for other 20 minutes...
Watching the entire trilogy is worth it. They all follow the same premise to a degree: Doc and Marty time travel; They mess something up in the timeline; And the Delorean breaks down - it was never well built.
Love your reaction. Nice job on the ending prediction. You nailed it
Thank you!! 😁
I dont think that George & Lorraine really thought much about the similiarity. They saw "Calvin" for a week in 1955 and then they never saw "Calvin" again. I don't think that in 1985, they thought about how their 17yo son looked like a guy they saw for a week 30 years ago. That's not how memory works.
Yeah, they saw their son develop slowly from a baby...it wouldn't occur to them at any point, "Hey, doesn't our son look like that guy we saw once?"
The father says "Another one of these damn kids jumped in front of my car" ... which means George isn't the first kid to fall out of that tree while watching Lorraine change in front of an OPEN Window! I don't blame George for peeping ... he just accepted Lorraine's VERY Generous Open Window invitation.
I'm surprised that so few reactors comment about how "accident-prone" Lorraine's dad is.
Yeah. Lorraine knows she's putting on a show.
GREAT reaction!!!😂👍👍👍👍👍 I wish you the BEST on hitting 10,000 subs!!!
Thank you so much :)
21:43 People always ask this, but why would they remember this random person they knew for a single week (less) _30 years ago?_
"he was not bird watching...he was boob watching!". 🤣😂🤣😂
Lorraine: You know what I do in that situation?
Deashas: Put your clothes back on?
I'm dead! 😂😂😂😂😂❤
3:09 Even in 1985 California where the movie takes place, it was illegal to have an open container in a car. Drinking beer while driving was a definite no-no. Biff had balls.
12:09 "What age do you have to be to be in the middle of the street?"
It was the 1950's and this was a quiet, residential neighborhood. _Younger_ kids, around 8 to 12 years old, I think, would set up _games_ in the street. They were fairly _simple, straightforward_ games, and it was presumed that they would be able to get all the paraphernalia involved in the game out of the street whenever a _car_ came along.
When I was a kid in the 1960s, kids still had homemade wooden go-karts. Marty "invents" the skateboard here by pulling the sides off the kid's go-kart. (I saw this movie in a movie theater when it first was released; in 1985 I turned 29 years old. This film truly is a classic and makes me miss the 1980s. (Having been born in 1956 I still vaguely rember the era of tail-fin cars, also.) By 1985 had seen Michael J. Fox in the TV sitcom "Family Ties" (in which he's a conservative Republican supporter of then-President Ronald Reagan and disagrees philosophically with his ex-hippie parents, with whom he lives along with his 2 sisters) and Christopher Lloyd in the sitcom "Taxi" (in which he's one of the cast of several taxi drivers; who's an eccentric, much like Doc.) Both shows are probably represented on UA-cam, in case you're interested in seeing these actors' career histories. Family Ties is still in cable-TV reruns.
17:27: Unfortunately, I’ve had a similar experience with manure lol.
Oh nooooo
23:31 in 1955, you couldn’t buy saucy pictures if you were under 21. Films existed, but you generally had to go to a theater, and again, they would card you. George was only 17, so he had to content himself with the live-action stuff.
"They found me..." The hippies? LOL
Haha he wasn’t bird watching he was boob watching right into the mom hitting on her own son 😂 😂😂
MJF was 24 when he made Back to the Future, while also filming Family Ties full time.
That "teacher" is also the captain of the aircraft carrier in the original top gun. And many 8thers.
Subscribed! Turn off #2 when you see “To Be Concluded”, or you’ll watch a spoilery trailer for #3. And please keep in mind that the “future” for #2 is not the filmmakers making predictions of what life would be like, they were just trying to make an entertaining movie.
Ohhh thank you for letting me know :)
They had to put prosthetics on Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover in order for them to play Marty’s parents because they are the same age as Michael J Fox
Yes, you must watch the other 2
I will be :)
I don’t think there were skateboards in the 1950s. Marty ripping the kid’s cart in two would have demonstrated a new toy.
We did have the idea of separating the two halves of clamp-on roller skates and nailing them to a board, though.
I loved your reaction, thank you!!!! I needed it after one of the worst nights of my lonesome and miserable life... Have an excellent day and I'm saaaacribing😊😊😊
Hey I'm really happy that I could brighten your night. Lonesomeness sucks and happens to alot of us, I also watch some of my favorite youtubers when I'm feeling alone
Never stop enjoying seeing people reacting to Loraine hitting on her son, or the moment they realise the importance of the clock tower and the bolt of lightning.
I liked your insight and reactions
Fox was 21 or 22, when he did this; he was close enough to teenage years. That, and his height, made him look quite young.
It's "gigawatts," but the writers weren't science-savvy, so they went to a seminar, and the German scientist pronounced it "jigawatts," so they believed that's how it's *always* pronounced, so they wrote it that way. It's the gif/jif argument, but from the 1980s.
How come no one ever asks how Lorraine knows what kissing her brother feels like?
Michael J. Fox was 23 when he played Marty McFly in this movie.
This movie ages amazingly well.
he peeped and she was a stalker when she liked a boy. i'd say they even themselves out to make a perfect match
michael j fox was actually only 24 when he made this movie...funny thing is that the actors who played his parents were 3 years younger than he was
Instantly subscribed. Please do the rest of the trilogy ❤
26:49 When you're the _protagonist_ in an _action_ flick, you've got to have the most _incredibly_ strong arms.
"I'm definitely getting a sandwich and milkshake first!" I love a woman with her priorities straight 👍
If I was pointing at you I wouldn't say a movie title . . . unless it was "Drop Dead Gorgeous" or "The Woman In Black" 😜
The Back to the Future trilogy is like just one complete story to me. I can't see only watching one movie without the others, it is like only watching the first act of a movie then leaving. I recommend watching the complete trilogy!
All 3 movies are great, people all have their favorite and debate which one is best, but almost everyone agrees all 3 movies are good or great.
It's like only watching "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". The story continues in the next two movies so if you only watch the first one you miss out on the way the story is supposed to be enjoyed.
the actor that plays Biff is the nicest guy in real life. he does stand up comedy
This is one of the best trilogies in film history.
I saw this movie in a double feature at the drive in on cape cod with Teen Wolf (also with Michael J Fox) when I was 6. Alot of fun.
a really great reaction video, i enjoyed it. Thank U :)
thank you happy you enjoyed it
Believe it or not, there was no sequel planned. The movie was such a huge hit they decided to make 2 more. One of the best trilogies ever, along with Indiana Jones and Star Wars.
Some Back to the Future Easter Eggs: In one of Back to the Future's most celebrated Easter eggs, Twin Pines Shopping Center (truly Puente Slopes Shopping Center in Industry, California) gets to be Solitary Pine Shopping Center after the film, calling back to the minute that Marty crashed down one of Farmer Peabody's pines with the DeLorean in 1955. Whereas the destiny of Back to the Future's Libyans is vague within the film, Doc's to begin with the occasion of getting shot by them gives watchers a small foretelling. Take note that Doc's bullet holes aren't dying. Perhaps typically chalked up to the PG rating, but still, getting shot close-range by a machine weapon would create something. Either way, in conclusion, it's uncovered that Doc wore a bulletproof vest. Is he wearing the bulletproof vest here, or is this not the correct timeline? Let's take off that to the time travel specialists.Doc Brown's house at 1640 Riverside Drive is actually a popular property in Pasadena, California. This is the "Gamble House", once owned by David and Mary Gamble of the famous "Proctor and Gamble." The house's interior is actually that of Robert R. Blacker, as filming inside the Gamble house is prohibited.
This was such a well worked out story. Thanks for your great reaction.
Glad you enjoyed it
This movie had such high hopes for us for 2015. :D
Everything did. As a 70-year-old man, I am so disheartened.
Yes
:)
Marty McFly was only 23 when they were filming
Michael J Fox was around 23-24 when he made this movie.
Fun fact: the guy who played the principal/teacher also played as Commander Tom “Strider” Jardian in the first Top Gun.
Literally is seen in the first 15 minutes where he tells Goose and Maverick “they’re going to “Top Gun”.
Michael J Fox was indeed in his 20's when he filmed this movie.
Hello Deashas! Shout Out from the US Marine Corps! You are absolutely adorable! Found your channel not too long ago and can't wait to watch more movies with you! You are the first one that finally answered the two questions that I have always said about this movie how do they not recognize their future son as the Marty that helped them get together and on top of that lightning could strike any time in that one minute I don't want to nitpick but God finally somebody asked those two questions I've been asking since I was a little kid. I saw these movies in theaters when I was a kid my father would bring me. Is one of the most epic trilogies of all time like Star Wars 4, 5, and 6. Anyways
As someone growing up in the '50's, they really nailed EVERY nuance on how things were different back then. (Of course, the movie was made by people who also dated back.) They captured details about life back then which had gradually changed over the years, so gradual, living through them made one forget how it was.
On the other hand, while the plot line of the sequels were also excellent, their idea of life 30 years later, i.e., 2015, is really way off. We never got flying cars and the concept of the internet was not even being considered, at least in terms of its effects on everything.
I mean, for Part II, that _is_ the point. They've talked about how other depictions of the future never get it right, and almost immediately become dated; and decided to intentionally lean into it.
My favourite movie
The question of, "Where was Einstein during that minute?" is a somewhat complex question, but it boils down to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (the physicist, not the dog). That is, the answer to your question depends on your frame of reference.
From Einstein's frame of reference, there was no "somewhere else;" he traveled instantly from 1:20 AM to 1:21 AM. However, what has actually happened is that the Flux Capacitor has "stopped time" for the DeLorean and it's occupants. In effect, Einstein is suspended in time until 1:21 AM; it's sort of like when you're unconscious - you have no sense of lost time; the time you're unconscious seems to pass instantaneously.
From Doc & Marty's frame of reference, the DeLorean vanishes because for the 1 minute, it exists outside of spacetime. It reappears at 1:21 AM when the Flux Capacitor reinstates it in spacetime. In other words, from their frame of reference, the DeLorean _doesn't exist_ for one minute.
This is why the DeLorean is iced over upon it's return; any moisture on the surface would freeze instantly because there's no heat or energy outside of spacetime.
Regarding Lorraine and George recognizing their son as "Calvin Klein":
The answer is "no." Many people reacting to this film ask this question. Try to remember that you and I (the viewers) are skipping over 30 years' worth of events. For Lorraine and George, "Calvin" was some kid who showed up for 1 week while they were in high school, helped them out a bit, then disappeared out of their lives. Lorraine and George graduated, went to college, got married, had kids, got jobs, etc, etc...they would've forgotten the details of that week over those 30 years.
Secondly, if you were to ask Lorraine or George in 1985, they would insist there is no similarity between their son Marty and Calvin because no matter your age, your parents always see you as they way you looked when you were a child. So Lorraine and George would see Marty as a child, while they'd see Calvin as a peer.
yes a wired cable can hold tonnes of weight :) notice the cables in the gyms machinery, theyre very thin but pull stacks weighing 200kg + :)
I was interested in this video because it's on one of my favorite movies of all time, but the Pride merch in the background convinced me to sub immediately. Hell yeah.
BTTF is the first film appearance of Billy Zane as Biff's crony Match.
Great Scott, I love your reactions!!! (They're not heavy)
Cute eye makeup, BTW 😍
Glad you like them!
Most of us familiar with this trilogy were answering every question as we watched. It's nice to see you liked.
28:15 Yeah, I think there are differences. Subtle? Nope.
Definitely watch the sequels
Great reaction 👍❤️ and yes the second one and third one is just as good
I'm so excited :D
@@DeashasAlwaysWatching great reaction and you look great 👍

watch all three, it is the perfect trilogy. literally
To be fair, $300 in 1955 money would be worth $16,935 today. Marty caused a lot of damage to Biff’s car.
All I can say is that when you watch Back to The Future II, don't watch the previews of Back to The Future III, there are plot spoilers in those previews.
We still have Toy'R'Us here in Canada so next time you visit and want some nostalgia check if where you're going has one.
7:45: "They found me!, i don't know how, but they found me!" "the Hippies?!" 🤔 😂 great reaction to a classic! i subbed for more!
Just came across your channel and subscribed. Loved your reaction, and you seemed to pick up on things that a lot of other reactors really didn't which is nice. I also just love your vibe as a person.
As most people mentioned, when talking about the "perfect movie" this is one of the candidates. So much so that this is pretty much a staple in film school and is talked about in one way or another. To add a couple of things, it's also worth sharing that when you watch BTTF 2 you should be prepared for an actress change in who's playing Jennifer. Claudia Wells mother was diagnosed with cancer and she stepped away. In the second film it's Elisabeth Shue, who you would definitely recognize as Stillwell from The Boys. There was no plans for a sequel when they made BTTF, and so on top of having to recast an actress, they had to refilm the ending to the first film. Robert Zemeckis(director) said that if he'd known there would be a sequel, he wouldn't have involved Jennifer at all. There's a whole bunch of trivia involved with this movie like Michael J. Fox being the second actor to play Marty, or why Crispin Glover (Marty's dad, George) isn't in the sequels, or what Michael J. Fox's schedule looked like filming this movie.
You asked about watching a breakdown video, and honestly I'm not sure. You did pick up on some stuff I don't think some really did. On the other hand, there are a ton of setups and payoffs in this movie and different details between the past/future that you may have missed. There also might be tidbits like the Marty replacement discussed. It could possibly be a thing you watch and record and then decide on your own if you feel as if you learned a lot?
I don't know, I'm not a streamer.
The Libyan terrorists driving a voltswagon is actually very politically relevant, considering that many Arab states were militarily or politically aligned with the Nazis during World War II.
Hence the VW bus.
The Libyans had also been involved in direct conflict with American forces in the early 80s and were a common "generic terrorist" for US made 80s films.
The 80s were a wild.
The clock strike is glossed over, but its plausible that Hill Valley historians determined it was struck exactly at the stroke of 10:04 based on how the inner workings of the clock were stopped at. That info would've been passed on through the legend and made it into the pamphlet that the lady gave Marty, thats why Doc reads "At precisely..."
Michael J. Fox was 24 years old when he did this movie. He just has resting old guy face.
He definitely wasn't a teenager playing a teenager in this movie but he was only 23 during filming. Not quite in his 30s like you mentioned. Lol
The joke about Jack Benny being the Secretary of the Treasury was actually very good. Jack Benny’s meme was that he was the cheapest man in Hollywood.
One sketch had him dictating a letter to the Diamond Almond Company about how dissatisfied he was with their product-while he was eating the almonds he was “complaining” about-so they would send him a free can (to be fair, almonds were expensive back then). When he got done, he asked his secretary if she needed the address, and she said, “I’ll just send it to the same place I sent all the other letters.”
18:16 "I guess. But they gave you a _time;_ an hour and a minute. In 60 seconds, how many times could lightning strike?"
😳 Oh. You know, I've picked apart a _lot_ of technical details with this movie to find mistakes, and seen plenty of reactions from _other_ people, doing the same. You're the first one to spot that particular _one,_ though.
And that's a good point. The clock has been stopped at 10:04, but how precise is that? You're right. 60 seconds is quite a long span of _time,_ especially from the perspective of a _lightning_ strike.
Great reaction 🔥😁😁😁🔥
Thank you
The original ending was originally intended to be just a joke. When they made the film they had no idea just how successful it was going to become, never mind that it became one of the most beloved films of all time. Its success is what ultimately led to the two sequels (which were filmed back-to-back).
Personally I find _Back to the Future Part II_ (1989) to be the weakest of the trilogy - not that it is bad (far from it); to me it is just not *as* good as the other two and it can be a bit confusing, although there is still plenty to enjoy about it and technically it is very impressive considering the time that it came out. _Back to the Future Part III_ (1990), while not *quite* up to the standards of the first film, is still very good indeed.
In February 2020 there was the global premiere of _Back to the Future: The Musical,_ the stage musical adaptation of the first film, in Manchester, here in the UK. I went to see it at the Adelphi Theatre in London in June of last year and I am really glad I did because it is a great way to retell a familiar story with a different medium. I treated my mum to it last month by paying for her ticket and she enjoyed it so much that she wants to see it again and treat one of her friends to the entry ticket for it later on this year. She thought that the DeLorean absolutely stole the show and it was so clever the way they made the car look like it was travelling along long roads (making great use of the turntable on the stage).
The two people who adapted the film for the stage were none other than the two Bobs who wrote the original film: Robert Zemeckis (who, as you noticed, was also the director of the original film) and Bob Gale. Alan Silvestri not only allowed the use of music he had already composed for the film, but also he came back on board to help write some new songs unique to the stage adaptation (although the stage version does still contain the songs _The Power of Love, Back in Time, Earth Angel_ and _Johnny B. Goode_ - they had a licence to include all four of those as well).
Admittedly some changes had to be made in order for it to work on the stage (for instance, Doc no longer has a dog, and instead of Libyan terrorists murdering Doc he gets poisoned by the plutonium he loads into the car. These two changes are no surprise because a dog would have been frightened by the lights and sound effects, especially the loud bangs and vibrant flashes when the car time-travels. Also, removing the Libyans meant that they didn't have to worry about having to deal with two vehicles on stage; it was probably enough of a challenge with just the one!). However, for the eagle-eyed viewers the stage adaptation is littered with several Easter Eggs, some of which reference the films.
fox was 23 when they filmed this
born in 1961 they filmed in 1984-1985
That principal's mouthwash just ain't cutting it.
24:03 I think it's more that teenagers do lots of creepy stuff, and you can't really hold it against them 30 years later. George was a creepy peeping tom, but he's a nice guy now.
Also, part of the reason he was spying on Lorraine is he didn't have the confidence to actually approach her or any other girl. That changed in this movie.
12:01 "Did she take his _pants_ off?"
Well, _someone_ did.
If anyone's a dreamboat, it's Lea Thompson.
