we love rocket money!
There's a fan theory that Doc was actually suicidal & he was gonna take Marty with him. Long story short, prior to the time machine Doc Brown had been down on his luck as his house had burned down, many of his previous inventions weren't successful, & he was living in a garage (these & other subtle details were shown in the opening). So, the Time Machine was Doc's last attempt to create something successful, but he was worried it wouldn't, so he figured he'd kill himself should it fail, but he didn't want to die alone which is why he & Marty stood infront of the thing when they tested it in the mall parking lot. If it worked, Doc, Marty, & Einstein would have lived, if it didn't, then the car would have crashed into them at 88 miles per hour & killed them. It's a very depressing yet possible fan theory.
Back To The Future is my favorite movie trilogy, & in my opinion it's the most consistent film trilogy (at least in terms of quality). I hope you react to Part 2 & Part 3 as well ANGELINAA.
It's "make like a tree and leaf (leave)."
Wait wait wait, how does Loraine know what kissing her brother is like? How many years have been overlooking the creepiness of that line?
Laughing like George McFly is not a bug, it's a feature! Spread the joy!
Well, maybe an Irish bug, as Biff puts it. It’s a great dorky laugh, and I certainly enjoy it. 😄
@@0okamino Same😄
Every moment is a set up, a payoff, or an integral part of a character arc, or an Iconic joke. A perfect script in every way.
Another Zemeckis gem - IMO even better than BttF - is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Definitely should be on your radar, I highly recommend you check it out after you finish the BttF trilogy.
They literally use this in script writing classes as a perfect example. Not an ounce of fat on this script.
80’s scripts hit different, The Last Starfighter (1984) is another example (in my opinion) of a near perfect film.
Not just the script,, too. There's lots of visual gags or easter eggs. Like one of doc's clocks in the opening sequence references a man hanging from the clocktower.
But it's not? Like, there are numerous issues with the continuity in all three films. Changes nothing about their awesomeness tho. @@KS-xk2so
The moment when Marty hugs Doc at the clocktower hits WAY different when you're a kid vs. an adult. Because as a kid, you know what it means, but as an adult--after you've lost people you love to time--you *understand* what it means. Marty lost his best friend, got him back, and now faces losing him again, this time for good. He has no idea if his plan will work or not so this may be the last time he gets to see the most important person in his life. What a lot of us would give to be able to not just see the ones we've lost, but to have the chance to save them, man that shit HITS.
And I think it gives Doc a vital hint that Something Is Going to Happen to You, beyond just Marty missing you. He's going to see you in just a few minutes... right? He's hardly got time to miss you, unless.... Hmm, maybe I should hang on to the envelope and tape the letter back together....
I agree
@@a35362 He hung onto the letter by accident. Notice that after the tree limb falls, he just shoves them into his pockets and forgets about them. That's why he still had them when he got home.
I know what you mean, but realistically Marty would actually be fine, and perfectly able to save Doc even if that attempt had failed and Doc died.
Think the theoretical scene through: he would see Doc getting shot from far away (but actually die this time), then his past self would go back to the past and vanish from the timeline while the assault bus crashes and the men are knocked out / killed, Marty runs to Doc and finds that he's truly gone, maybe cries for a bit...
...then turns around and sees the extra plutonium Doc had sitting by in the big white van. Marty snatches a spare radiation suit, grabs a couple tubes, runs back toward the abandoned DeLorean, maybe gets a gas can and grabs some spare fuel along the way if gas was part of the reason the car died (the regular engine part still ran on gasoline, the plutonium only powered the temporal field capacitor), and gets to the DeLorean.
Worst case scenario, and likely in fact, it's surrounded by police now who are examining the damaged building and the car, and it gets towed away to a tow yard while the cops begin looking for the driver. Marty, hiding nearby, now realizes the new dilemma he faces, and tracks the car down to the tow yard. He manages to break into the facility after hours to find and steal the keys for the car, then breaks a window on the DeLorean. He puts the gas into the car, starts it up, drives it somewhere quiet and safe, then puts on the radiation suit, takes a plutonium tube out of the sealed pocket, inserts it into the car.
Bam. Time travel back to earlier that day while his past self is at school. Marty won't be missing the school day as his past copy is there doing everything normally, so he's free to go to Doc's house in the daytime and warn Doc about that night.
Except, oops, Doc isn't there----he's been gone all week, Marty realizes. So, best case scenario, Marty finds some notes from Doc that describe where he's going to be during that week, and Marty finds the number for the location (if there is one, as the question of where Doc disappeared to for a week never does get answered), or he finds out how to get there himself. He goes there, avoiding being spotted by passerby to the best of his ability, and tells Doc the news.
Worst case, he can't find anything that tells him where Doc is, and it's already past the time he talked to Doc on the phone that morning----and even then, Doc gave Marty no clue as to his physical location, just told Marty where to meet him.
So Marty decides what he needs to do in the end is actually rather simple: wait in Doc's garage through the day while his past self finishes the school day, goes home, goes through that night with his family, yada yada.
And then when it's about the time Doc said to meet Marty, just go to the parking lot of twin pines mall (Marty knows his past self will get there after Doc's already been there a few minutes on his own----remember Marty arrived there while Doc's van was already out in the parking lot) and meet Doc just as the man shows up. Marty has a few minutes before his past self originally arrives, and he quickly tells the Doc what's going on.
There's no way Doc wouldn't believe Marty, as he has, of course, built the time machine by now and wanted to show Marty, and seeing how frantic Marty is would easily convince him.
Marty tells him "we need to get out of here *right now,* Doc! Quick, let's get back to your house!"
Doc starts up the van, Marty throws his skateboard into the backseat, they roar off. A minute later, Past Marty shows up and realizes Doc isn't there.
Best case, Marty instantly heads for Doc's house, as he suspects maybe Doc is late or on his way and he might either catch up with him, or see him on the way to the mall. Therefore he won't be there when the terrorists show up.
Worst case, Marty thinks Doc is late but doesn't leave, instead he waits for Doc. The terrorists show up and Marty doesn't realize what they're there for or who they are. They see Marty while rushing into the parking lot.
Luckily, they don't realize Marty is associated in any way with Doc, and they probably drive with tires screeching right past him and exit the lot on the other side while Marty stands there confused. And then probably heads for Doc's house anyway.
By the time Past Marty has gotten there, present Marty has told Doc everything that he needs to do, and now present Marty is hiding in the house while Past Marty shows up confused on the doorstop. Doc lets him into the house and explains to him (longer than this, but I've shortened it to the basic idea): "Marty! You need to get into my time machine here and go back to 1955! Remember this: you need to make sure you avoid your parents, and simply talk to my past self, and tell him about the lightning strike so you can get back home, and make sure you remember this: on your way back to the present, return a few hours earlier so you can catch me at Twin Pines Mall at the exact moment I arrive, and tell me that I'm going to be shot by terrorists and we need to leave immediately----"
"Shot by terrorists?! Jesus Christ, Doc!"
"Don't interrupt me you little shit, my life is at stake!!! Sorry Marty, it's the crazy talking. Anyways, I know all this seems unnecessary, but you need to do it exactly as I say to avoid anything terrible happening or the timeline shifting any more than it has! Oh, and it wouldn't hurt for you to also teach your father in the past to toughen up a little bit, just *don't mess up his meeting with your mother!* Do you understand?! Sometimes people are meant to be hit by cars from time to time Marty, for God's sake, _don't be a hero!"_
"Doc, what the hell are you talking----"
"Marty, DO NOT PLAY THE GUITAR AT THAT DANCE! Chuck Berry can figure out his own goddamned shit, you'll be screwing up things enough as it is by interacting too much with your father!"
"Doc, I don't underst----"
"I've written all this down precisely (PRECISELY!!!) on this notepad so you can read it any time you need to refresh yourself on the exact instructions and the order in which you must carry them out!"
"Doc, it says here that you aren't a fan of Johnny B. Goode anyway, what's that all about----"
"Don't think too hard about the comments I've written in the margins, Marty!"
"But who the hell is Johnny B. Goode?!"
"Great Scott, somehow all of this has already happened and that song no longer exists! Marty, trust me, just do exactly as I've said! Here, get in this car out here now, remember to hit 88 miles per hour, DO NOT HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH YOUR HEAD AT ANY TIME UNLESS THE CAR IS OFF AND WON'T START, I've wired a deliberate short circuit to jump start the battery from the top of the steering wheel, so IF YOU HIT THAT WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING THEN IT'LL PROBABLY EXPLODE! FOR GOD'S SAKE MARTY, DON'T BE A FUCKING DAREDEVIL!!!"
"Doc, I was never even going to hit any----"
"MARTY, THE TIME MACHINE IS NOT TO BE USED FOR FINANCIAL GAIN!!! DON'T TOUCH THE ALMANAC, NO MATTER WHAT!"
"What almanac?!"
"Sorry, I must be remembering the original draft, that's not until we go to the future----GREAT SCOTT, HOW DO I EVEN KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THAT ALREADY?! WHICH DOC BROWN AM I?!?!??!!! Never mind, it's probably all your fault anyways Marty, god dammit, get into the car and hit 88 miles per hour before I turn into a fucking pickle!"
"I'm gonna go drive to the pharmacy first and pick you up some meds, Doc----"
"FOR FUCK'S SAKE MARTY JUST DO AS I SAY!!!"
@@Bro-cx2jc You know - aside from casting problems - (What with Christopher Lloyd being ancient now and Michael J. Fox in no shape to play Marty anymore due to the medical issues he has on top of his age) - if they ever DID make a Back to the Future #4 - your thumbnail sketch there is about as good a starting point as anything else I've ever heard of! 🤣🤣
My grandmother took me to see this in the theater as a birthday present. She wanted to see Yentil, but since I expressed interest in BTTF seeing the poster at the multiplex, she wanted her grandson to see what he wanted to see. She was 34 in 1955 so to be watching a movie with nostalgia, and that was acted well and just plain fun, she loved it. She would tell my mom that she was pleasantly surprised at how much fun she had.
Thank God your Grandma relented. I think as a kid--you would have been bored out of your mind at "Yentil."
In 2000 I was 8 years old in our local supermarket there was corner with VHS tapes and my mum would sometimes buy me some. However there was no real separation - genres, years of production, classics and absolute garbage, all together. It was like a scavenger hunt.
So one day I found 4 tapes that looked particularly cool, so I convinced mum to buy them all.
It was Back to the Future trilogy and Independence Day. I felt like a won a jackpot that day.
you definitely did.
Was it the trilogy box set with the 4th tape of behinds the scenes?
@@Starbug1S1 the 4th tape was Independence Day and it was not even box set just three parts. Although their covers are so similar, they feel like box set even if they are not
Lol I saw this on my 8th birthday when we rented a VCR and I was allowed to invite two friends to spend the night. Best birthday of my life. 8 year olds and BTTF are the perfect mix! (Also, my very first date, at 13, was to see Back to the Future III in the theater! Terrible "date," perfect movie.)
Now that was one lucky draw
I suggest "Who framed Roger Rabbit". The film also stars Christopher Lloyd and is directed by Robert Zemeckis.
Hell yeah, funny and some scary bits too
One of the best of all time. Ending scared to shit out of me
I do not! That movie scared the crap outta me as a kid and I still refuse to watch it.
This is a wonderful suggestion. I feel like she would love that movie.
As long as we are throwing out movies I grew up on. I'd like to throw out The Brave Little Toaster.
Hell yeah Christopher Lloyd is gold in every movie he's in
They did not have skateboards back in 1955. Also--a fun fact: Did you notice that when Marty came back to the mall at the end, it was now named "Lone Pine Mall." At the start, it was the "Twin Pines Mall." Marty had run over Peabody's twin pine with the DeLorean.
I never noticed that wow
@@Dr.Zoidberg_2914 oh the trilogy got tons of little easter eggs and continuity jokes like that. It's almost endlessly rewatchable
A few fun details:
~ At the beginning of the movie, the ledge on the clock tower is intact; when Marty returns to 1985, the ledge is broken (from Doc's mishap)
~ In addition to writing The Power of Love, which Marty and his band perform at the audition, Huey Lewis is the guy with the megaphone who tells them they're "too darned loud"
~ When Marty returns to Twin Pines Mall (after killing one of Peabody's pine trees), it's called Lone Pine Mall
~ Old Man Peabody and his son Sherman were named in honor of the old Peabody and Sherman time travel cartoons
Wow, I've seen this movie a hundred times and I've NEVER noticed that ledge!
Did you notice 1955 Mayor Red Thomas sleeping on the bench when Marty comes back lmao
There's a lot of cool details you notice on later watchings. For example, when Marty goes to meet Doc it's at the Twin Pines Mall, but when he returns it's called Lone Pine Mall because Marty destroyed one of the old man's pine trees when he left the farm.
The next two are just as awesome!
Nice catch!! I’ve watched Back to the Future so many times & never noticed that detail! That’s so cool!
alot of people don't realize the bum on the bench in 1985 was the mayor in 1955.
Wow!! I love those kind of catches. Now that is someone who really cares about making a good movie, to have that kind of detail The mall changes, its name, and the bum was the mayor. Awesome I’ve watched these movies for years and years never knew about those little details. Makes me wonder if I missed more.
@@PV1230 As I understand it, the mayor-as-wino/bum hasn't been confirmed. But keep an eye on the damaged ledge of the clocktower: it makes an appearance in the next film (and wasn't there in the beginning).
@@PV1230 It's not, Michael J. Fox adlibbed the name Red. Mayor Red Thomas is seen as a photo on the side of a campaign van, which is set decorator Hal Gausman, and the bum is played by George Buck Flower. Flower was 20 years younger than Gausman in 1985, so Red Thomas would have to somehow de-age and then become immortal to be the same character.
3:46 Not only "playing music" but playing HIS music. That was Huey Lewis himself- the singer, producer, and creator of the song Marty was playing (and his other one "Back In Time")- that was the #1 hit during the movie's run. 15:28 Even though the skateboard was invented in the 50s- the first brands didn't come out until 1963. Apparently, the inventors got their idea from some mysterious Hill Valley kid who was only in town for a week. 23:22 The drunk was the 1955 Mayor. 23:44 It runs on regular gas. Also, you missed the transition from the Twin Pines Mall to the Lone Pine Mall due to Marty destroying one of Old Man Peabody's Pines. You missed a lot more too -- wish your reaction was longer. But, you were hilarious, as always.
Also the original DeLorean was apparently known for having electrical problems. Which is way the car doesn't start some times.
The drink isn't actually the Mayor, they look similar but canonically they are not the same character.
the drunk was not the mayor two totally different actors
The drunk is actually his uncle Joey who's always in jail or on the streets. They reference it in the sequels when baby Joey is in the crib and he said you better get use to those bars. The mom said he just likes to lay in his crib all day. Also when they made the welcome home cake in part 2 but he didn't make bail.
@@gerhen4505 It was plagued with a myriad of problems. The engine was so underpowered, the speedometer maxed out at 85mph. The front suspension was too high. The weight distribution was too far rearward. So on and on, but man it is so cool....
I grew up in the '50's and when I watched this when it first came out, I was stunned by all the nuances they got right about all the things alien to the people in '55 meeting someone from '85. (Of course, the people making the movie also had lived to some degree in that past - not like it would be if the movie was being made now.)
What sort of blew my mind was seeing things I remembered from my childhood and yet by '85, I had not really thought about the vast changes that had occurred slowly enough to not see. This movie could be shown in a history class and every line in '55 could warrant a discussion of changes. (And also, many viewers today don't get.)
The astonishment of Doc hearing Reagan had become president would have been universal at the time, as in '55, he was a grade B movie star, that few paid attention to outside the film industry. (And Doc suggesting Jerry Lewis and Jack Benny would be an equal joke, for VP and Treasury Secretary.)
In '55, people were just starting to get tv's, with a vast change in just a few years. But the idea at the time that anyone would have two tv's would have been almost unthinkable, even though people now can't grasp how that idea was still so radical.
On the other hand, as with all notions of time travel, predicting future changes flops really bad, as you will see in the sequel where they go to an envisioned 2015. Including just as it was astonishing to the '55 people that a black man could become mayor in a general election in 30 years, to us in the 1985, that a black man could be president in a mere 30 years seemed like an unrealistic goal when the movie was made.
One thing they got right about the future was wide screen TVs. Also, in the BTTF universe, time travel can easily and drastically alter future events so it's just a different timeline, so they have that to let them off the hook. Still I don't disagree and they flopped on so many things and were more about exciting physical technology. They had no chance of getting fashion right nor would anyone else.
@@ebashford5334 Yes, I don't think they flopped as much as nobody gets this right. For years and years, everyone thought flying cars were just around the corner. Isaac Asimov's 3-volume classic science fiction, Foundation, is set a thousand years in the future. But being written before transistors started making an impact, he had a character pull out a slide rule to make calculations. (Bet almost no readers of this statement ever even heard of these but when I was in college in the early '70's, no self-respecting scientist or engineer was without his trusty "slip-stick" before electronic calculators made these obsolete.)
Over the years, it is funny to see popular depictions of what people imagined the future to be like. Often it is just an extension of current technology and tastes, like endless Jaws movies or fax machines everywhere. Around 1910, it was common to take ordinary picture postcards of a village or town, with drawn-on blimps with wings above, elevated rapid transit trains overhead and subway entrances labelled "to New York City" no matter how far the village was from the city.
New technology which can overwhelm things often comes out of nowhere, or at other times, winds up with totally unanticipated effects. Computers could be imagined to grow ever more powerful but no one foresaw the internet, along with email, Google, online porn sites, UA-cam, Ebay, and the withering of brick and mortar stores and physical mail.
@@ebashford5334 They almost got right the Cubs winning the World Series in 2015. That actually did happen in 2016.
In the 1980s a lot of older folks did still roll with this slicked-down 1950s look or at least the horn-rim glasses. The horn rims are becoming stylish again nowadays, but nothing was more out-of-style in the eyes of young people in 1985. To me the style made some of my teachers look like they’d be happy to vacation at nuclear bomb testing sites.
@@ebashford5334 if you think of some of the music and wild neon-techno-type clothing styles that people were seeing in the 1980’s like from punk music and new wave and such, it’s not too much of a stretch to envision a world which simply continued in that direction until pretty much everyone dressed like David Lee Roth or Sid Vicious.
It hasnt aged. This movie is timeless perfection.
Fun fact: in the "Darth vader" scene, the original plan was to have actual Van Halen music playing, but Eddie was the only one who signed off on it, so they improvised.
What you're hearing is just Eddie by himself playing a few solo riffs.
That particular piece is called _Out The Window._ You are correct that it being made under the name Edward Van Halen excluded it from any rights issues with the band’s music.
Doc took a chance on the letter because he knew the timeline had already been changed thanks to George standing up to Biff.
yep, was foreshadowed. practically every scene and line of dialogue in this movie has a purpose. masterful writing.
He also had been replaying that video tape of himself saying "they found me" and "run for it." That had to have been stuck in his head for awhile too.
@@asdfasdf7199It also means Marty has been to the past several times before. Getting hit by the car happened before.
@@taoist32 What? Doesn't mean that.
Realistically, he couldn't have known if Marty's actions had actually changed the future for the better, but in the logic of the movie, that makes sense.
I was born in 1980, and this movie was such a huge part of my childhood. My siblings and I used to build the time machine out of refrigerator boxes and stuff. That's why I love reaction videos. It's really wild to see the reaction of a younger person to something that was so influential to my generation.
Another interesting fact: The reason Biff blocks George’s first punch is because he’s actually left handed and tried to punch with his right, which Biff caught and thus, George ends up knocking him out with his left hand.
Back To The Future is my favorite movie trilogy, & in my opinion it's the most consistent film trilogy (at least in terms of quality). I hope you react to Part 2 & Part 3 as well ANGELINAA.
What about the human condition trilogy? it's widely considered consistent in terms of quality so is the dollar's movies and some other's.
@@Mr.GoodkatDo you think OP even has heard of The Human Condition trilogy? That's giving them a LOT of credit.
You have quickly become a channel I come back to for fun reactions, and I’m so glad you’re finally getting to my favorite film series ever since I was a kid. The movies came out before my time, but I was obsessed with them and still consider them favorites.
If no one else has said it yet, and if you haven’t already watched it pre-releasing this one; At the end of Back to the Future 2, stop the movie right after the “To Be Concluded” logo at the end because immediately after that, there is a “trailer” for the third movie with some VERY heavy spoilers for Part 3.
As an older viewer, I'm not QUITE old enough to have seen this in theaters, as I was a toddler, but I definitely watched it on VHS when I was still a kid. Every time I've seen it again over the years, I find more to appreciate about it -- it holds up incredibly well and is just so immensely watchable and enjoyable through and through. I really look forward to seeing the entire trilogy on the channel. It works really well as one longer story told in three parts, and outside of the Lord of the Rings is probably one of the most enjoyable trilogies I've ever seen put to film. You have a lot to look forward to!
Dude McDonalds had the VHS as some "dinner and a movie" promotion and my mom picked it up (1991-ish) and thats how I first saw it too. Favorite trilogy of all time.
Y’all are adorable. This movie came out when I was 13. I’m basically 1 year younger than those Stranger Things kids.
Me too with the vhs. My mom hid it until I was older because I kept saying “holy shet Doc!” She asked me where I heard it and I told her Marty McFly.
I actually caught 2 and 3 in the theaters. I was disappointed to see “To be continued” at the end of two as that meant several months or years before the next movie would hit the big screen, but well worth the wait.
Wow. I’m clearly a geriatric viewer.
Ange, to this day this movie is consider one of the most "perfect" ever made. The script is actually taught in film schools all over the US. Such a great, fun film. I remember watching it back in the 80s, and being upset every time the "To be continued" came on the screen. As a child it seemed like decades before 2 and 3 were released. By the way, while the sequels aren't as good as the original, they are still amazing. Brilliant really, considering how they worked within the confine of the first film. You'll see what I mean.
First movie is 10/10, the second is 9/10 and the third is 8/10. I think the first movie is pretty much required for anyone IMO. Such a classic.
Actually second is 7/10 and third is 9/10…lol…
I saw this movie on opening weekend, in the summer of 1985. It was great!
It was supposed to be a single movie; no sequels were planned, but the studio wanted Gale and Zemeckis to do a sequel. In the commentary, they said that IF they had known it was going to be a franchise, they never would have added Jennifer at the end of the first film. When you see part 2, you'll understand what they did with her. For a time travel franchise, they weren't all that imaginative.
Same ! I saw it opening weekend as well.. I was going into my Senior year
thats my birthyear - lol :D
1985 my favorite year…the year i graduated HS and had high hopes for my future…
This movie is such a classic! Traveling from 1985 to 1955 was such an inventive idea back then, Huey Lewis’s Power of Love is such a bop, and this was before the whole time travel genre was starting to get tiring.
(Fun Fact: I actually have the same birthday as Michael J. Fox, June 9th)
It’s scary that the time jump from 1985 to 1955 is less than the time jump from 1980 to today 😬
And yet, I don’t think the culture shock would be quite as big!
@@Daveyboy100880 You sure about that? A high-schooler from today that went back to 1985 would probably wander around aimlessly looking for a wifi connection.
@@Merecir I was thinking more in the opposite direction - a high-schooler from 1985 would probably do okay in 2023. A high-schooler from 2023 would struggle if they went back just five years!
You do have the Mcfly laugh 😂👍
I remember watching this as a young kid when it barely came out on video rental. The movie left me in the biggest cliffhanger ending I have ever saw. The plot got so awesome from me . When I returned the movie rental, I asked the rental clerk for part 2, and he responded with a cheekygrin and said , " they haven't even made it yet, kid. "😮. One of the most anticipated sequels at the time.. ..
Fun fact: They removed the ' To be Continued' ending on all copies for some reason. 🙃
They didn't have "To be Continued" at the start. That was only added later.
I saw this the summer after I graduated high school. It was getting major buzz so our family went into the city to see it. Of course I liked it. I can remember when Marty first got to the town square and you saw the five guys at the gas station flaunting over the car, an older guy behind us muttered something like "oh yeah, remember when gas stations used to be like that". I think the older generation appreciated and enjoyed seeing the small details of life in the mid 50s.
By far one of the best movie franchises ever. Some of Micheal J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd's best work.
Watched this in 1989 when I was 5 years old and my mind was blown. The relationship between Doc and Marty, and how they sort of gave each other a second chance at a different life is endearing. The sequel Eerily foretells a future similar to the one we’re in. I think you’ll be intrigued by it.
Far more time has passed from 1985 to today 2023 (38 years) than the 30 years Marty went back in time. The film itself is a time capsule!
Your enthusiasm for a movie that was a huge part of my childhood made my day, Thanks for the content
BttF is a masterclass in storytelling by way of set-ups and payoffs. There are loads of details early in the film that are referenced in one way or another later in the film.
Fun fact about the song that Marty played, Johnny B. Goode. It was in fact an oldie by Marty's perspective. It was first released in 1958 and was one of the songs that started the rock-and-roll movement. So while it was a song from the '50s, it was from the late '50s and just three years after 1955. So it was close enough in style to what those teenagers like, but just a little ahead of their time.
Also, at the end, Marty ad-libbed the crazy guitar solo that was clearly from the '80s. So that's why everyone was confused by the style at that point.
The Gibson ES-345 that Marty borrowed from Marvin was also not even produced until 1958. For a guy who is playing high school dances in small towns, Marvin seems to have some big connections, more than just being related to Chuck Berry. 😄
If you think about this from '55 Docs POV, he invented time travel *on paper* and in doing so apparently summoned a child from the future who he will one day befriend. It would be quite wild.
I wrote a little scene in my head where Doc Brown first befriends Marty by having him get some dog food for Einstein and Marty becomes interested in one of Doc Brown's experiments when he gets back with the dog food.
I saw this in the theater in 1985 when I was a kid. And then it took FOREVER for the next film to come out.
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet...but your kids are gonna love it" has to be one of the greatest lines in movie history.
And dead ass accurate of all generations and the changing music tastes.
LOL, that face Ange made when calling George a looser is priceless. I need that as an avatar.
26:55 Yup, we know the feeling. We've been watching it over and over for almost 40 years now.
I first watched this a few years after it came out, Around the time 2 was on tv, then I watched 3 also on tv with my parents, we didn’t have much for spending money at the theater and younger me didn’t handle theaters well. I will say, the more you watch it, the more you pick up on the film each time. There are details you may have missed, which doesn’t take a way from watching it, they enhance subsequent viewings. Thank you Ang and Rees for making and editing this fantastic commentary and reaction!
Timeless classic. I grew up watching this trilogy as a 90s kid. My dad would explain all the references to me. There are SO many.
So glad you loved this film! Can't wait for your reaction to the next ones!! 😄
I love seeing people watch my favourite movies for the first time. I'm so happy to see you're having such a good time watching!
Immidiatly watching your video on BTTF 2 after this
I am a child of the 80's and when I was 8 or 9 the Third film had just came out, my family made a weekend of it and we rented the first two films. We had a pizza party with our cousins and all went to the theater to watch the third. It was an amazing way to have family time, something that nobody does in my family anymore. But we did stuff like that with other movies too, like Terminator I & II, Lethal Weapon I, II, III & IV, Die Hard I, II & III, Beverly Hills Cop I, II & III, the Predator and Alien movies as well.
Can't wait to see the rest of your reactions to the trilogy ❤loved these movies growing up
Steven Spielberg presents means he was the producer, not the director
27:00 "I could watch that whole thing over again"
you definitely should, many more times. I think this is one of the most rewatchable movies ever. so many details that you don't even noticed until you watch it like 3 or 4 more times.
Steven Spielberg was a producer. This is one of the first films for Amblin and Universal. Robert Zemeckis was the director who was Spielberg's younger film protege. After Back to the Future they made who framed Rodger rabbit, then the back to the future sequels back to back.
HAHAHA.....You do have the George McFly laugh!!! 😂😂😂 Nice reaction. I saw it in the theater when it first released in summer 1985. I was a pre-teen. I remember excited about #2 because we’d see what “the future” in 2015 would be like. I guess there was a lot more enthusiasm for the future than there actually was. There was a lot more misses than hits when it came to correctly predicting future technology. Hope you complete the trilogy. It’s a classic.
The best MOVIE ever made. It has everything that makes the medium of movies unique. Incredible story...editing...music...acting....all of it is pitch perfect. You can't make them better than this.
I find it interesting that they usually add the small details you wouldn’t think about: for example, Marty’s attitude change after seeing how big Biff is gets extended to Marty’s rash nature whenever someone calls him a chicken in the 2nd and 3rd movies. It feels interconnected (maybe not so much in the first movie, but the 2 movies afterwards for sure).
This trilogy is one of the few films that I can enjoy and glad they didn’t make any more sequels (because modern sequel movies to classics are mostly misses, like the Terminator movies for example).
Fun fact: George fails at punching with his right hand, but succeeds with his left.
In the fifties, left-handers were commonly trained to use their right hand as children, and studies suggest that it was psychologically harmful to them. George probably didn't really realize he was left handed. But when he pushes the weasel to the ground on the dance floor, he does it with his left hand.
Please please please react to the rest of them. I think it's an unwritten rule that you can't just only watch the first one when it comes to this Trilogy. There might be riots if you don't.
Ange would be so fun to hang out with. But I feel I could never match her funness levels. Does it work like that or maybe her fun-ness would help bring more of my fun-ness out?
The sequels are kinda bad tbh. I mean they're not terrible? But really bad compared to the original
Oh my God, what took you so long? You have no idea what you've been missing! And as great as this first installment works as a stand alone film, just wait until you watch the sequels! If there was ever a perfect trilogy, this is it!
LOTR and Bourne series are also close to perfect
yeah honestly i have nitpicks about all 3 movies and can't really hold them up as some of the greatest of all time but no ther trilogy has ever done so well so consistently. it is the best trilogy ever made. people like to point to star wars and even though i'll put up any of the original movies against any in BTTF and declare star wars the winner, star wars does not mesh the movies together nearly as well as bttf. and bttf is the better trilogy
@@johnpaullogan1365 Lord of the Rings, however, meshes PERFECTLY. That has my vote for best trilogy of all time. But BttF is so much damn fun it HAS to be on anyone's Top 2 or 3 trilogies list.
@@Pixelologist it's good but i felt it suffered from being a book adaptation. a lot of stuff had to be cut and there are places it kinda apparent that somethings weren't fully explained. i mean bttf has its problems too. like why didn't biff return to alternate 1985 instead of the one marty and doc were but lotr i think i would have appreciated more if i hadn't read the books multiple times before seeing
This right here is my favorite movie trilogy of all time! Glad you loved it! Can't wait for the next two!
The 50s expression that Biff got wrong was "make like a tree and leave." (As in tree leaves)
I was 8 years old when this came out. When I first saw it. I sat stunned for like 5 minutes when saw the flying car.
I remember watching this as a kid and laughing at my parentswhen they would point out the 50s parts. Now my kids laugh when I talk about the 80s parts.
this movie is basically perfect even to this day. The special effects hold up so well. And what's great is the detail put into this movie. Pretty much every little thing has a purpose to the story. The car not starting has a purpose that isn't to just build tension.
This script is actually studied in most film schools because on a technical scale, the movie is perfect.
Truly a phenomenon.
1 of 2 films that starred a Michael J. Fox in the same year while doing the tv series, Family Ties.
Christopher Lloyd's most iconic role (still) among many roles.
Huey Lewis and The News with their 2 songs are still great.
No.1 film of 1985 and Oscar-winner for Best Sound Effects Editing.
Wendie Jo Sperber (Marty's sister) passed away in 2005.
By all means, please react to the sequels as they are perfection too.
Hi Ang! Love your reactions so much. You are the most entertaining reactor on UA-cam.
The line Biff keeps messing up is "make like a tree and leaf" (leave.) But of course Biff keeps saying "make like a tree and get outa here".
Also, the reason the teacher told Marty his band was just too loud is because the teacher is Huey Lewis who wrote and performs the song Marty's band was playing and they were playing it a little more hard rock than the song actually is, and as the creator of the song, Huey is pretending to be not so impressed with Marty's version.
It was a visual gag for people who knew who Huey was.
Hahahaha OMG! That was hilarious watching you laugh like the dad laughs hahahaha. I saw this in the theater when it first came out. I loved it then, and I love it now. It's a classic adventure movie. EASTER EGG: If you rewind to the very beginning when Marty goes to Doc Brown's place before school and the camera is scanning everything, you will notice some "foreshadowing." There is a photo of Doc hanging from the clock, which actually happens later in the movie. So much fun!
Was it a photo of Doc? Or was it a photo of Harold Lloyd hanging from the clock in the silent movie "Safety Last"?
Foreshadowing in Back to the Future
At the start of the film, we see a representation of actor Harold Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock, from the film Safety Last. This foreshadows Dr. Emmett Brown hanging from the clock tower on November 12, 1955
@@JohnRandomness105
This movie is considered, by many, to be one of the most perfect movies ever made. The casting, emotions, expressions, writing, acting, timing, editing, cinematography, etc... all run like clockwork. Pun intended.
Hi Angie! Doc and Marty are not related. According to Bob Gale who was the co-writer for the Back to the Future trilogy, when Marty was about fourteen-years old, he heard stories about a dangerous lunatic scientist, so being curious he decided to go find out for himself. Doc caught the young Marty sneaking around his lab, but he was so glad that he finally found someone who liked all his inventions. Their friendship grew from there, and Marty takes on the role of an assistant at times for Doc. That event still happens, but now thanks to the time machine, it’s no longer the first time that Doc meets Marty.
While Emmett “Doc” Brown looks almost the same in 1955 as he did in 1985, there are slight differences in his hairstyle, color, and make-up to differentiate between the past and present Doc Brown.
It’s not clear when skateboarding was invented but it’s believed to have been created sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s when surfers in California wanted something to do when the waves were flat. Back then it was known as sidewalk surfing. In 1955 most people had probably never seen a skateboard before, and the skateboards that did exist at that time would have been very crude compared to what we have today.
The song that Marty plays at the dance is Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry. It was one of the most iconic songs from the 1950s, but it was released in 1958. There is a part of Marty’s performance where the lead singer of the band, Marvin Berry, calls his cousin Chuck telling him to listen to Marty play over the phone. So the joke is that Marty McFly helped inspire Chuck Berry to write and perform Johnny B. Goode.
When Marty first went back to the past, he ran over one of those pine trees - which is where the mall would have eventually been built. So, Marty ran over the pine tree, which turned it into Lone Pine Mall when it was originally Twin Pines Mall
So glad that you enjoyed this! For me it’s just as good today as it was when I first saw it in 1985. Timeless indeed! No go watch parts 2 & 3. :) Thx for sharing!
Loved your reaction, Angie!! Back to the Future is one of my favorites.
The guy who says that Marty's band is "too darn loud" is Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis and the News. He wrote two songs for the film and the song Marty's band is playing in this scene is actually his song! 3:43
At the beginning, Marty meets Doc at the Twin Pines Mall. After Marty goes back in time, while escaping from the Peabody's he runs over a small pine tree and you hear the guy say "My Pine! why you!" 7:22 Later when Marty tries to save Doc he arrives at the Lone Pine Mall. 24:00
Skateboarding - In its earliest days, skating was a hybrid of surfing, scootering, and rollerskating which made it difficult to pinpoint early inventors and innovators. It wasn’t until skateboarding gained traction in the mainstream in the 1960s and 1970s that people started paying attention to these trendsetters. 15:28
Just found your channel. Enjoy this franchise.
Apparently skateboards had been invented before 1955, but were not a big thing except as something for surfers to do during downtime. (Jan and Dean's song "Sidewalk Surfin'" came out in 1964.) And a lot of the modern tricks were not possible until they went to urethane wheels.
Doc does look different in 1955. His hair is shorter, not as frizzy, and still has a touch of blonde.
Originally, there was a title card at the end of the film that said "To Be Continued," but it was a joke, there were actually no plans for sequels. However, the film was so popular that in 1988 they cooked up a follow-up script. There was actually enough material for two films, so everything for both sequels was shot in one session to save money. Part 2 was released in 1989. Part 3 was released in 1990, the same week that part 2 came out on VHS.
The first skateboard wheels were made of ceramic ( with added ingredients to make them tough enough ).
If you love Doc's crazy eyes so much, you should really watch the 70s show, Taxi. The same actor played possibly the greatest character in TV history, Jim Ignatowski. The scene with him at the DMV getting his license is a top 5 funniest scene of all time.
"I'm afraid you're just too darn loud." -Huey Lewis' character's famous response to The Pinheads playing Huey Lewis' song.
It's "Make like a tree and leave."
Skateboards existed as you saw it before he removed the crate. They became more like what we know of them today in the early 1960s.
Christopher Lloyd was in 84 episodes the the TV series Taxi (1978-1983) I really enjoyed that series. A nice 1/2 hour comedy.
Watched it originally opening weekend. I've seen the series dozens of times.
I saw this in theater on opening night, It was AMAZING. I could watch it again tomorrow and luv it just as much!
This trilogy is truly one of favourites growing up 😊 My Dad showed it to me and I just instantly thought it was so awesome especially the first one because I love the plot and love the characters especially Christopher Lloyd and Micheal J Fox as both Marty and Doc honestly icons in movie history 👍 and I’m proud that George stood up for himself and protected Lorraine ❤ also that punch to Biff was so epic😁 and I like that Marty was able to change his life and his family’s lives for the better because his parents look so much more happier 😊 can’t believe it took you this long to react to this movie and I’m happy you did because I enjoyed your reactions so much and I can’t for you to see the next 2 movies 😉😁😄
I'm so glad you decided to watch this! I really hope you watch the rest of the trilogy, the other films are excellent especially the third one!
Great Scott!!! Angelina's enthusiasm and energy is perfect for this movie. 1.21 gigawatts of movie reaction energy.
I've literally seen more than a dozen reactions to this movie, and you're the first one to point out that he shouldn't have maxed out all his levels before plugging in, good catch.
I saw this the night it was released the summer before my Senior year. Everyone cheered and applauded so loudly at the end. I will never forget the sound of that, and I can barely remember what I ate yesterday. We knew we were watching another epic Spielberg creation that night . Your reaction was so satisfying and exactly how I want someone to react to this movie . Epic reaction for an Epic flick .. 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠✔️
I love this series so much and I’m glad that you’re watching it!!🔥🔥🤞 the first movie is the best one in my opinion
Yay! Im glad you reacted to this. Its my favorite movie of all time
So excited you’re doing this movie! I hope you continue with the trilogy. One of my favorite trilogies.
Oh god, I’m an older viewer… Great Scott, that’s heavy! 😭😭😭
Still, it doesn’t matter how old a film is - if it’s good, it’ll be entertaining for any audience and Back To The Future is, simply put, a perfect movie. Perfect plot and script, perfect performances, perfect everything! To this day, movies aspire to be this good. Hopefully Ange digs the next two as well!
Well Ange, you've come out of your cave, and you're not a Back to the Future virgin anymore!😉😆 The Back to the Future trilogy is best viewed in a short time together to get this best experience out of the films. It is a great trilogy experience! There was no sequel planned after this. The ending of the film was basically a joke. But, the film did so well they made two sequels. I saw these in the theater when they came out, and it was a great movie experience. Nice reactions to your very first BTTF film, Ange!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
I think this was the perfect first video to watch on this channel. That laugh is endearing. I'm glad you liked the movie!
This was one of my favorite reactions of yours. I think this movie was perfect for you. It's so much fun.
Never worry about your laugh... I FKN LOVE IT!!!!! 🤪 First time watching a reaction of yours and I must say.. I LOVED IT!! Great reaction.. I really enjoyed! Subscribed.. and also going to watch more of your reactions after this one! Hope you hurry and do Back To The Future 2 and 3 soon.. PERFECT TRILOGY!!.. Thx again.. I had a blast watching!
Newcomer to your channel here. *_L O V E D_* your reaction. It took me back to when I sat down with my daughters for their first time and was almost, albeit bittersweet, more fun when the memories combined with your video.
The first time I watched this was work related. I used to do a movie review/trivia segment during my broadcasts on our local radio station in my home city. After watching this (including the numerous re-watches per the girls demands ), waiting for part two to come out was worse than waiting between seasons of "Game of Thrones" 📆.
Thanks for allowing me to hitch a ride on your excursion through time. I'll be sticking around for the rest of the trilogy and other first time views of classics I love.
Great reaction. You definitely need to watch all 3 parts. One of the best movie trilogies ever. There is so many details and perfect acting of all characters...I love all 3 movies.
I watched this as a kid on VHS in the early to mid 90s. Used to watch all three regularly. My favourite trilogy.
Best movie ever… period. Or should I say movies. It’s really one movie split into 3 parts. Everything is seamlessly and cleverly tied together throughout (all 3). It is extremely well written and, as you’ve seen for yourself, acted. Glad you enjoyed it, and great job commenting!
The sequels are full of forced humor and rehashed plot points from the first one. They suck. I've never understood why they get so much praise compared to the original. The original is leagues above the other two.
@@Progger11I don't know what you're talking about. The second and third build on the first and actually get better as they go. The second is actually my favorite of the three.
Hi Angelina, it's great you've seen this awesome sci fi classic :) I love this trilogy, please react to parts 2 & 3 asap.
Back to the Future is my favorite movie & this is by far my favorite reaction video on the internet! You're hilarious & just so much fun to watch. 11/10
your reactions are awesome! love it so much :)
Robert Zemeckis is a great director. Check out Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
^ Definitely this. Such a great movie.
Okay, the laugh comparison is HILARIOUS. Lol, you don't have to be self-counscious about it-just continue to enjoy life and spread happiness through your laughter and rest assured people around you will continue to love you for it! Plus, your viewers already have a blast watching your videos, so why fix what isn't broken, right? xD
_This film is about time_
- Steven Spielberg
What might be the greatest irony is that despite its status as _the_ perennial 80s film (a status perhaps only challenged by Ghostbusters), it has proved in the years since to be a timeless story. Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale, and Steven Spielberg gave to the world a wonderful yarn of imagination and heart that informed a core part of my adolescence. Ever since, it has remained to me as evergreen as the Lone Pine of Lone Pine Mall...
This is one of the greatest films ever made!
1985, I was 11 when the movie released. Before the internet... Saw the trailers for this on broadcast television, or in the leadup to another movie in theaters, so honestly I was excited and interested to go see it. Michael J. Fox had been in the TV show Family Ties for a while so we knew of him, and I always loved sci-fi as a kid. So I made my disabled dad take me to the only movie he and I ever saw in theaters together... Back to the Future. Occasionally when I re-watch, the nostalgia the movie engenders is absolutely unfathomable.
And yeah, I've probably seen this trilogy as many times as I've seen Star Wars. It's one of the good ones that can't possibly be done better. Iconic, unforgettable, brilliant... perfect.
The only thing I wish... I wish I had made time to go to "Lone Pine Mall" on October 21st, 2015 for the 30th anniversary of the first use of the time machine, supposedly there was a gathering of fans.
Oh, man, I just realized a paradox in the film, based on a detail that most of us are very impressed with. When Marty returns to the present the mall is called the Lone Pine Mall rather than the Twin Pines Mall. The only reason it's called the Lone Pine Mall is because he traveled back in time already and ran over Mr. Peabody's pine tree. But when he gets to the Lone Pine Mall, the other Marty hasn't yet traveled through time and Doc is getting shot - again, even though both of those events would have had to have already taken place in that timeline in order for the mall to be called Lone Pine.
I believe it's a "Pre-destination paradox" - in which Marty has to go back in time from 1985, in order to run over the 2nd pine tree, so that it will be called Lone Pine Mall in the future. The original Marty (the one we follow throughout the trilogy), will always remember when it was called Twin Pines Mall.
@@TheRealThunder Yeah, for some reason I had never noticed that paradox before. I think they could have avoided it by having Marty arrive to a sign that said Twin Pines Mall, but after the other Marty traveled back in time and OG Marty ran back to his house it could show the sign saying Lone Pine Mall. Otherwise you have the added paradox of multiple Martys arriving in the same spot at the same time.
FYI: Since I assume you'll move on to the second and third parts of this trilogy, may I make a recommendation? Before you watch BttF 3, take some time to watch "Goin' South" (1978) and "Time After Time" (1979). They are both quoted and used heavily in Part 3. I won't say how or why, not gonna spoil anything, but you will be in a far better place to appreciate all the jokes and wit (including in the casting) if you watch those two films first. Don't worry, they are both excellent movies which I'm sure you'll find entertaining! :)
Time After Time is my favorite of all movies.
@@Ernie_Centofanti Wonderful film, innit? I sure miss David Warner. What a great actor he was. :(
i love this movie, i recently watched it in theaters in october 15th hehe and it was such a great experience watching it in the big screen~
First time viewer, loved this reaction. I will check out your other stuff and you have a new sub.
BEST.TRILOGY.EVER! 🥰👍
watch Pleasantville
Second that.
Beautiful film with far too few reactions to it.
Watched this in theaters when it came out, and it's still one of my all time favs! I've seen it over 1,000 times, and it NEVER gets old!
One of my absolute favorite movie trilogies! Cant wait for you to watch the rest! These are my go-to comfort movies. Everything from the acting, the dialogue, the plot, the music, the comedy - it’s like a warm blanket on a cold day.
