Hey all, we hope you dig our new style of video! We had a blast making it. Next week will be Part 2 and the week after that Part 3. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for a series of movies or one-off we could cover!
"Back of the Future" is one of those rare trilogies where all three movies are great. As in, yeah, they are not all equally great, but even the weakest (whichever you think it is) is still a great time.

I love part 2. Despite the ridiculous idea of going forward in time to change something, I loved the darkness of Alternate 1985. The scene in Doc's messy lab is great sci fi. It's doom and gloom, until they find the top of Biff's cane. The movie needed to be different than the original movie.

Wait, the film doesn't want us to think Marty gave that guy the idea to become mayor. Remember, Marty said "That's right, you're gonna be mayor." He said that, already knowing it. Since the guy would eventually become mayor, no matter what, he liked the idea when it was brought up. I never believed they wanted us to think Marty was responsible for it.

Exactly! They have all these little easter eggs with the Mayor, the skateboard, Johnny B. Goode and so on, but the movie is not really saying that Marty was responsible for those things happening/existing... people in the 50's were just amused when Marty said or did something they didn't know yet.
Goldy Wilson would have been mayor ethier way, Marty if anything just put the idea in his head sooner
One of the BTTF fan theories I've heard is the reason the 2015 of that timeline is more advanced than ours with flying cars and hoverboards, etc is that in thier timeline Chernobyl never happens so more research goes into nuclear power until they eventually get fusion (remember the Mr. Fusion) so in the messing with the timeline to correct the President Biff 1985 Doc inadvertently causes Chernobyl and pretty much puts a halt on nuclear power developments.

Possibly, though the idea of having a tiny fusion reactor in homes even in the 2200s may be a stretch. The necessary strength of such a containment vessel to hold a fusion reaction would mean the future is able to almost break the laws of physics as we know them, or it's just a marketing gimmick and doesn't actually use fusion power. Though, using a minitarized reactor to power the flight boosters of the car would make some sense.
The screenplay for Romancing the Stone was written two years before Raider of the Lost Ark was released. It is in my opinion the best romantic comedy ever. I make a point of watching it at least once a year. Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner have great chemistry. It's not a perfect movie but as romantic comedies go, it is the cream of the crop.

Came 6th the year of release & given that it was the same year as Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Temple of Doom and Beverley Hills Cop, not a bad effort.
The creator of the BTTF movies got the idea from a visit to his grandmother's house. She had an old photo album and he saw pictures of his parents when they were in high school and he wondered what it would be like to go back in time and meet and interact with them at that age.

I love these movies but I just thought of a plot whole. Did Doc miscalculate the time it would have taken for the car to reach the wire. If the car would have started when the clock went off Marty would have gotten to the wire before the lighting bolt hit the clock tower. The car stalling is the only reason why the car got to destination at the precise time the lighting bolt struck the clock tire and the lighting traveling across the wires.

What really bothers me is that Dave and Linda disappeared piece by piece, but when Marty's time came, he just faded away... Can't really think of an in-universe explanation for that.
Crispin Glover did not reprise his role for both BTTF sequels, George McFly was actually played by a different actor for two of the 3 films.
George McFly is supposed to be the typical Highschool Poindexter or Nerd that everybody picks on who is either nervous or awkward around most people, when it comes to working up the courage to ask a girl to a commitment, he becomes both awkward and nervous at the same time, that is what he was in the original half of 1955 timeline.
12:28 People who played PC games in the 90s probably also remember Tom Wilson as Todd "Maniac" Marshall in Wing Commander 3, 4 and 5. He also voiced the character in the Wing Commander cartoon series. He's awesome in that role too, and there's some outtakes from Wing Commander 3 you can find that's mostly just Tom Wilson being hilarious.
Him slowly fading on the photograph is just a result of the uncertainty of the future. The photograph is part of a future which is not certain anymore. His actions during 1955 altered the probability of being born but it did not make it impossible, at least until this particular moment. Remember, the future of his present (that exact moment during this evening in the year1955) is still unknown, everything is possible but him being born is slowly getting more and more unlikely. In contrast killing one of his parents with a head shot or something could be a way to make him disapear on the photograph (as well as in person) instantly instead.

I guess the movie just wants to show changes happening in a fun way, even if it doesn't make much sense in the real world... It's like when the headlines in the newspapers change in part 2 - the news about George and Doc are still about George and Doc after Marty destroys the almanac, while it would have made more sense if the new headlines were completely unrelated to any of the movie's characters.
Awesome video, guys!! I *love* the format.
Preface: I've always enjoyed these movies Even if you accept the bonkers logic of the photo plot device, they would be disappearing from youngest to oldest as the differences additively propagate thru the timeline. The second movie has no acquaintanceship with logical consistency at all. Jennifer ceases to exist, and once someone steals your time machine in a changeable timeline, it's game over. It isn't coming back, also you'd cease to exist immediately. I love the second movie. 😀

@@jackdelane I totally agree with you. The ripple effect moves into the future, and would've erased the existence of Marty's older siblings who were born a longer time ago first, so them vanishing from the photo in the order that they did makes total sense. Also, the ripple effect hadn't arrived in 2015 yet when old Biff got out of the time machine and Doc and Marty got in it so that's why the neighborhood still looked the same, and Biff hadn't disappeared yet. Old Biff in the deleted scene was actually shown vanishing right after Doc and Marty took off from the ground in the DeLorean. And also, Biff vanished before the 2015 neighborhood changed because it was said that Biff died one year later from the alt. 1985 in 1986, so the ripple effect had only reached the mid 80s at the time Biff vanished. The ripple effect didn't reach 2015 until a little bit later so that neighborhood and 2015 as a whole didn't change until after Doc and Marty had already got to 88mph and vanished, so we were never shown the 2015 of the rich Biff future. Of course by the time Doc and Marty got to 1985, the ripple effect had passed that time already so they saw the alt. 1985 as soon as they got there
A generation is roughly measured by a span of thirty years. Austin Powers did thirty because they were referencing BTTF. But, outside of those two, u don't know another thirty year mark example for a time travel movie. I was 15 years old in 1985 and saw this twice on opening day. I knew a guy who worked in the movie theatre so could sneak in for free. That summer I ended up seeing BTTF 23 times. Yes, it's the most I've seen any film by far. The next closest I saw that many times in a theatre was Star Wars and it was 3, but it was 1977, I was eight and it was harder to be independent then. Anyway, I was really obsessed with that film, even belonged to the BTTF fan club, and 35 years later, my love and interest in the film, the trilogy actually, has not wavered. And the weird beauty of BTTF, is it's the gift that keeps on giving as I keep periodically finding out new things about it still, like from a channel like yours so cheers! I love hearing young people can discover this film, and fall in love with it too and I love hearing the reasons why. But, it proves my generation's love of it goes beyond just nostalgia; there's something about this franchise that speaks generationally all across the board, crosses color lines and nationalities and seems to while being a complete fantasy speak universal truths that brings us all in. I know. This is heavy. 🤙

I must have seen that movie at least 50 times. And it has Mary Steenburgen in it, who is in BTTF 3.

It's heavy but very intriguing. I was 10 years old in summer of 1985 and I saw Bttf twice, but I wanted to see it more times. Everyone I knew loved that movie, and I and almost everyone I knew loved Huey Lewis' Power of love and it was played on the radio alot as soon as the movie came out in theaters. But we never got tired of the song, at least not for the remainder of the summer. I had some great times growing up in the 1980s. Part of what made it great was playing with friends, riding bikes, playing baseball, going to the pool, and listening to the popular music of the time. I noticed even then how each summer had a particularly good hit which almost everyone loved and where those songs always thereafter reminded me of that summer. In 85 it was Power of love. In 86, it was Peter Cetera's Glory of love. In 87, it was several different hits, Heart's Alone, Phil Collins' Land of confusion, Bob Segar's Shakedown, and La Bamba from movie of same name. In 88, it was Def Lepard's Pour some sugar on me and Guns'n roses Sweet child of mine. In 89, it was Madonna's Express yourself and Fine young cannibals' She drives me crazy. Going the other way, in 84 it was Billy Joel's For the longest time and Kenny Loggins' Footloose. In 83, it was Survivor's Eye of the tiger and Michael Jackson's Beat it. In 82, it was Human League's Don't you want me baby and Daryl Hall and John Oats' Private Eyes. And I remember in 81, Oak Ridge Boys' Elvira. Before then, since I was only 6 in 81, I was really young and didn't follow music hits as well, and I remember that songs I did know were like songs from Seseme Street and such. Anyway, all these songs mentioned above are definitely nostalgic to me

@@Ernie_Centofanti Yeah, Mary Steenburgen has done a great convincing job playing roles in time travel stories. And I too loved "Time after time" with her and Malcolm McDowell. I also loved 1970s film "Somewhere in time" with Christopher Reeve. Both of those films (and also Bttf 3 which involved the old west part of the era) involved traveling to the era of the late 19th century/early 20th century which I find to be a very fascinating time, it's the fashion of the era, it was very classy, folks dressed so sharp and formally, and the architecture and styles of buildings and houses, the outside structures as well as on the streets carriages, railings, and street lamps had the same refined qualities to them. It was the same indoors, the rooms (or often called quarters) inside buildings and homes were of such fancy interior decorations, furniture, artifacts, household items and appliances. In general, appearances of everything and everyone as well as attitudes and demeanors were so polished in a way that's virtually nonexistent today. There was also terminologies for things that nobody today uses such as chesterfield, parlor, or inkwell. The music in the late 1800s/early 1900s was, well I like it because of the sort of charm it had. Folks were definitely much more simple than today. But it was still a great progression from 100 years before then. We were now well into the Industrial revolution. Unlike earlier, there was now electricity, telephones, phonographs/victrolas, telegraphs, trains, ice boxes (which were closer to refrigerators than anything anyone had in the 18th century and before), steamships, and the first silent films and first motor cars. And seeing old photos of events of the era such as the World's Fair and bandstands in the park, and there were many well arranged gardens, flowers, and greenery, in parks and outside houses as well. Overall, it's a really fascinating era and I love films taken place then or where someone time travels to that era
Doc's strategy for saving Marty Jr. from prison is seriously flawed, because Marty Jr. nevered learned the lesson that he shouldn't associate with bad people and that he shouldn't commit crimes. Griff was arrested for causing damage to the court house building. That is a relatively small offense. He'll be out on bail the same day. His sentence will be less than one year even with past offenses. Also, Griff is not the only bad person in this world. It's only a matter of time until Marty Jr. runs into other bad people who persuade him to commit crimes and cause him to end up in prison. The only real way to save Marty Jr. from prison is to give him a proper upbringing that teaches him not to commit crimes or associate with bad people. Doc and Marty leave 2015 thinking they had saved Marty. Yes, they saved him that time, but there will be other opportunities for Marty Jr. to get himself into trouble. Without having learned the lesson of not committing crimes, Marty Jr. ends up in prison anyways at a later date for another crime. That was a mission fail for Doc and Marty.

I don't think the movie was trying to get us to believe Marty gave Goldie the idea to run for mayor. They were just showing us that he used work in a cafe. Also, Lou the manager is skeptical about there being an African American mayor. It's one of the examples they show of changes that occurred between 1955 and 1985. It's like when Marty watches the exuberant service at the gas station. They're introducing you to the historical era. If you pay attention they show you a lot of contrasts between the two eras.

I'd say that there is a plot hole that most people have not thought of. Doc tells Marty that he had been standing on his toilet to hang a clock, he slipped and fell hit his head and when he came to he had a vision, the flux capacitor. When Marty went back in time to November 5th 1955, he calls Doc from the dinner. He gets no answer. Could Marty calling Doc have been when doc was standing on the toilet to hang his clock and when the phone rings with Marty calling Doc, could that have been what caused Doc to loose his balance and fall hitting his head?

No. That would be a predestination paradox. The only things he caused were the changes he made because he went back. His father becoming an author and his family becoming more successful, Twin Pine Mall becoming Lone Pine Mall and Doc wearing a bulletproof vest. ANYTHING that originally happened he had nothing to do with.
I’m going to guess that Doc Brown went back to his house and got the plutonium while Marty was in school for the day (but forgot the camcorder). Then he drove back to the Twin Pines Mall to call Marty and wake him up to come over with the camcorder. And maybe he called from a payphone.
20:09 Consistency is not a strong suit of BTTF triology. Based on BTTF2 logic, upon arriving in the year 2015, Doc and Marty COULD have run into Doc (from the first time Doc traveled to October 21, 2015). There should be 3 Docs in October 21, 2015: 1) Dead Doc in a grave due to passing away. Very few people live past the age of 95, 2) Doc from his first trip to 2015, 3) Doc from his trip to 2015 with Marty and Jennifer. The first Doc is no problem because he's in a grave. However, it is totally possible that third Doc could run into second Doc. Upon arriving in 2015, third Doc does not give any warnings to Marty about avoiding running into second Doc.

If original Marty prevents affluent Marty from returning to 1955 in any way (including knocking him away and returning to 1955 himself), then that action would cause a temporal anomaly that would destroy the space-time continuum. A temporal anomaly is a condition where 2 dimensions with opposite results alternate infinitely. If affluent Marty never goes to 1955, then original Marty disappears. If original Marty disappears, then he never gets a chance to push affluent Marty aside and travel to 1955 himself. These 2 dimensions alternate infinitely destroying the space-time continuum but hopefully limited to our own galaxy (best-case scenario).

Not sure if that was the better archetype. The other main point is that Douglas and Turner lack chemistry and that cannot be fought easily BUT then again... Michael Douglas.

Did anyone see "Parent Trap 2" in 1986? You will not believe the real life last name of the little girl in it who played all the pranks against CKH and her famous bestie. IT WAS TANNEN 🤣
That's not a pothole in the original timeline Goldie got the idea to be mayor elsewhere and this one he got the idea from marty.
0:11-> Christopher Lloyd is effortlessly Harold Lloyd worthy successor.
Goldy would have been mayor no matter what. That's pretty obvious.

Ronald Regan?!?! the ACTOR?!
"Plothole ridden"? It's considered one of the most perfect scripts without plot holes (or with the least ones) and taught as such in film schools. "But the plutonium is in his appartment, where they two boxes of it" - it was in his appartment at the morning. Marty met him at the mall almost 12 hours later. Did you geniuses consider Doc might have passed by the home and picked it up? "In the whole 3 films we never get any inkling on why this man [Strickland] thinks Doc is bad news" - because in the small town he has a 30+ years reputation as a "mad scientist" type, lost in his own world, doing potentially dangerous and mostly failed experiments, and wasting his parent's inheritance (the "estate") in the process? DUH!!!!! "Why wouldn't he remember why he knows the date before he puts it in" because people sometimes have numbers, dates, etc stuck in their mind, and might use them without remembering the context. E.g. when aksed to set a PIN for some service, I could type some numbers that just roll of my mind, and then realize "hmm, that was my hometown's area code". "That doesn't make any sense, he is an educated boy, he knows the word 'destiny'" - did you seriously thought they implied that he said the wrong word because he didn't knew the other one? He was obviously nervous from talking to a girl... "How would that skateboard exist if Marty haven't invented skateboards yet?" They didn't imply Marty invented the skateboard. Just that he made a makeshift skateboard in a small town. Doesn't mean it caught on from there. Some other guy could very well have invented the skateboard later independently in both the "original" and "tainted" timelines. I mean this is like watching Beavis and Butthead debate philosophy

I was going to say, it's like watching two monkeys trying to passionately hug the same football, but that works too.
Ya'll should read the BTTF comic book, it fills in lots of gaps.
I was born in September of 1979. I am towards the end of Gen X.
The parts that I do not like about what they did for the aging affect in "BTTF I" they had going on for the middle age thing going on for the parents and other characters that were supposed to be in their forties and Doc who was supposed to be an old man anyway, had prosthetics used that were just too heavy to really see the expression on the characters' faces, at least they did loads better with the make up for the BTTF Sequels, even the make up for "Grandma" Loraine and "Grampa" George McFly, but still, the aging make up for a 47 year old Marty Sr. still would have been done better.
No, the mayor did not get the idea from Marty.
In back to the future 2 how can 1985 Marty goto 2015 and see his older self?? How can that be possible???

II is the one everyone likes, and talks about the most by a wide margin. Rotten Tomatoes gives you two scores, the pretentious conservative white males on (ironically) the left side, and everybody else on the right. That's why they gave it 63%, and the _real_ audience gave it 85%.

Seen part 1 n 2 over 100x each,,,. Gremlins about 100x it just wnt off... and the Goonies! Woa,,, more then 300x... know the whole movie by heart...

Tom was is sponge bob 4 times and a couple of other things.
Twin pine mall was 911 upsidedown. Just sayin.
I imagine the fading brother of the future would look like Marty's hands and everyone else would be screaming "WTF" like that episode of The Twilight Zone about those hero astronauts fading out of existence. One plothole that's never discussed, why would they take a photo of that well without anyone to pose in front of it?
look into a deeper 911 the walk, the wire secret message that twin towel burn
The guy never should've been mayor? I disagree.
3:24 - Reagan did love Bttf, and he really was painted in a positive light when Doc asks "Who's the president of 1985? Ronald Regan?? The actor??" 3:32 - Not a Biden fan I take it? Now I could definitely understand you saying "look what we ended up with" if you'd made this video 2 years earlier

@@thecaveofculture Yeah, that's who I was hoping he meant. I agree with him then.
Love BTTF but it was rotten with parts where he gives people ideas they already had. What about the scene where he gives Lorraine his name and she says "what a great name!" If she loved it so much, why didn't she use said inspiration to name her firstborn Marty instead of the third?

Y’all need to stop overthinking this movie. She says “what a nice name”, that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s her absolute favorite name for a boy. Maybe she’s always loved the name David (or Dave) for a boy’s name before meeting Marty, or maybe that one was George’s idea, or Dave was named after a beloved relative. Then they have a girl child as their second whom they won’t name Marty obviously. Unless she explicitly said “I’m going to name my firstborn Marty”, there’s no reason to assume she was going to do that.

You talk like they gave birth to a baby the next day. It was like 10 years later after they’d forgotten 1955 marty
The thing that bothers me most: in the original timeline, the mcflys live ina house. They have one shitty car outside of the truck Marty has somehow acquired. In the new timeline, George and his kids are successful and confident people. Yet they all still live together in the SAME house!!! And still with only one car besides Marty’s truck!

Not true. Biff was waxing their BMW and Marty's truck was in the garage. And maybe they had others parked on the street to make room for Biff's truck.
i wonder if they just copied The Karate Kid idea of old man and teen boy are bff's idea except they gave us zero context.
One plothole: Why would the McFly's successful children still live with their parents? I kind if see why Marty's sister might, but why would Jimmie "I always wear a suit to the office" Olsen?

Quick reminder, Ronald Reagan was the best president our nation has ever had.
I love back to the future, but these two British kids’ personalities are so irritating, that I can’t get through this video.
Wait.... Aren't you from the UK?? How are you sitting here talking about Reagan? You were not even over here.
Trump > Biden
17:20 -> The Trilogy is a whole homogenous movie perfectly seamless.
