An alternate universe Back To The Future🤔 Alterante universes have basically become a genre now. However, in the 1980's this would've been a revolutionary plot device. Just as long as the making of the alternate universe movies didn't negatively effect the originals by splitting up writers, reducing budgets, and a slew of many other things that could damage the original trilogy I'd have been on board.

@Pewskeepsi, it couldn't have happened for the second movie. Marty in this narrative is a reactive character, and (other than the letter, scheme to reunite his parents, and altering the destination by 10 minutes) doesn't often plan ahead. In fact, the sequel runs with that idea making him extremely impulsive any time someone calls him out. Marty wouldn't have enough time to stop and consider his life and what he missed out on since he never stops moving to the next situation. However I agree, yes it would have made for an interesting sequel.

It's weird how Eric is considered a dramatic actor but he was absolutely hilarious as Lance in Pulp Fiction. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.

Gale admitted that if Michael J Fox was cast in the first place, Cohen very well might've ended up playing Biff.

Scrapping the futuristic ending also gave them the opportunity to use some of its elements for the sequel where they travel to the future. If the alternate 1985 already had flying cars and similar things, there wouldn't be much left to be futuristic in 2015.

I don't believe the theory that Eric Stoltz played the character in a way that the director and writer didn't want him to play it. It is pretty obvious if you go through the earlier scripts, that Back to the Future had more of a somber tone Eric was merely playing the role the way according to that creative direction. There is no way that they shot over 90 percent of the movie with an actor that wasn't acting the way that the director and writer that they wanted him to do it. It seems like later on, they made a creative choice to have more of a comedic/light-hearted tone. Considering the opening act of BTTF still has a bit of that depressing tone. This blog post talks about it in detail.

Back to the future is still great to watch even today.

Failure and set backs are a blessing many times. Lloyd and Fox ended up being part of a perfect movie.

8:34 that’s great that Eric Stoltz saw the film as a tragedy. However while in 1955 Marty just wants to get back to the future while fixing it. He doesn’t know that there will be any changes to the future. He might guess that things could be different but for all he actually knows he was there originally. So the tragedy one happens when Marty returns home and actually figures it out and feels that is was bad that he didn’t live that different life. However, if my drunk mother was no longer a drunk and my waste of a space father was now a famous author and bought me the car I really wanted and I still everything else was just about the same, where is the tragedy?

Back to the Future has always been one of my favorite movies since 1985, but I’d still love to see that Eric Stoltz version out of curiosity.

Eric Stoltz ended up playing the lead character in THE FLY II (whose name was Martin - and later turned into a human/fly hybrid), so it looks like Eric ended up playing Marty McFly after all.

Man, I knew a lot of this but there was actually a lot I _didn't_ know as well. The stars *_really_* aligned to give us the movie we know and love today!

Had no idea about some of these original ideas! I really do like the idea that the future ends up like the Jetsons and retro future sci fi. I never liked the whole rock n roll sub plot as much, as it's kind of a thin joke that rock n roll happens becuase of any one song. Chuck Berry just would've wrote something else, etc... anyway love this movie, great video and great topic

As much as Michael J Fox is definitely the perfect fit for the mass hit appeal of the movie, I think what Eric Stoltz was going for might've been incredible to me. I always viewed the role as he did and he really seemed to sell it, and that's with Back to the Future being one of my top 5 movies 😅

Really wanna see all the Eric Stoltz scenes! Not only because I wanna see how he plays Marty, but also how he plays the role with the other actors. Ever since I heard about the story with Eric Stoltz, I noticed more and more things in the movie like actors have slightly different haircuts or makeup in scenes where MJF is not in the picture. When Marty punches Biff in the Cafe it's the most obvious scene which is cleary not Michael J Fox: The lightning is different and Thomas F. Wilson has for some reason less wrinkles. Also the scenes where Marty wears the Anti-Radiation Suit, he looks taller, now I don't know if that is also Eric Stoltz or if that's his stuntman.

Such a rocky road to perfection, loved this vid ❤ (also loved the title anecdote at the end 😂)

Ironically, all of this is because of a 1980s-obsessed genius from 2045 who disliked ‘Space Man from Pluto’ so much, he built a simulation we all unknowingly (‘til now!) live in, and kept patching the damned movie until he got it jussst right. Unfortunately, WE don’t remember seeing Stoltz’s Marty play the Psychedlic Furs’ “Love My Way” to a gymnasium of baffled 1955 teens. Poor Stoltz. Last I heard, he got relegated to another life role in the simulation by some even bigger retro geek, selling drugs from his house, wearing a bathrobe and eating cereal all day.

Like in the Flash movie, theres a reference to stoltz actually being marty. Maybe in another universe this actually happened along with the fridge as the time machine

The one change I would of agreed with was George looking at the 1955 newspaper clip of Marty playing Johnny be Good and saying "nah cant be".

This video is how I really got info about the Eric Stoltz version of BttF. And man, all I can say is: Release the Stoltz Cut. I fully admit that it’s probably not as good, but I am really intrigued by a version with Marty portrayed with a serious and tragic pathos. It’s so fascinating that Stoltz and the Two Bobs could look at the same story and come to such different interpretations, and I’d love to see a taste of Stoltz’s point of view.

As discussed on one of the commentary tracks, some executive also wanted Marty to constantly be eating raisins as product placement for California Raisins. On film it looked like he was eating bowls of dirt, so the product placement turned into a homeless guy sleeping on a bench with a California Raisins ad on it. The sponsor was not happy and did not pay.

I'm kinda surprised you also didn't mention the OTHER start of the film. See, they switched the time machine into a DeLorean for the film, but they kept the bomb ending at first, but how did they know when the bomb test was going to be? Well, in the novelization of the film, George Gipe had used an early screenplay that had the film start with Marty in school where they screened a film of a nuclear bomb test that was filmed in 1955 with the date and time it was filmed as well as the location. Doc calls Marty at school and Marty received detention from Principal Strickland for taking private calls on school hours. Later that day, Marty has to escape detention and make it to the school audition, which takes place at the YMCA in the book. It's funny because the book has the original opening that works with the bomb ending, but it actually ends with the lightning strike at the clock tower instead of the bomb ending they planned to still use for the film...until it was changed, showing just how last minute the new start of the film was changed as George Gipe probably had the screenplay from before Eric Stoltz was cast. In the book, the description of Marty is almost dead on to what Eric wore in the film, including the US Patent on the electric guitar on his t-shirt and green sneakers. In the book, instead of the life preserver joke, the comments by Marty's grandmother in 1955 was that he worked at the carnival or circus.

Simply the greatest film and film series ever made. Thankyou for sharing this suoerb video.

I hope that all of the Eric Stoltz footage gets released in 2025 for the movie's 40th anniversary.

Thank you

Eric Staltz is the original Marty McFly who grew up on the estate always knowing it to be Twin Pines Mall. After he altered his parents meeting, the exact time and place of the mating ritual that made him meant that a different sperm cell got ti the egg. Hence the Lone Pine Marty grew up to look like Michael J Fox, and Eric Staltz faded into the obscurity of time as the ripple effect inevitably caught up with him.

I love this channel because, as a film buff, I feel like I already know everything about these classics... but you always seem to come up with new knowledge that I've not yet been privy to. Like the ending where George is the Heavyweight Champ of The World. That's hysterical! Plus all the BTS footage and photos that are fascinating. Keep these comin'! Cheers and Happy New Year!

Thank you! Thrilled you’re digging the videos. And same to you!

Love this movie with Michael j fox the musical is amazing too saw it in London

amazing how great Michael j Fox did considering he was probably exhausted the whole time shooting it.

The Chuck Berry scene is always funny 😂 It never even occured to me about Marty's being outside of his own (new) upbringing like that, that's an interesting point and idea A "Grandmaster"-like Doc Brown though? Fantastic 😂

I've seen all these "what could have beens" in separate videos. It's great to see them all in one spot! 👌🏼 One trivia that got missed out is why Doc pronounces it jigawatts instead of gigawatts. If it had been the correct pronunciation, then it would have been less memorable.

I think they did a good job with the corrections and it also helped other movies along the way like Bill and Ted

I can't find any clips where Eric Stoltz speaks in the scene? I would love to see this and listen to the difference in voice from Michael J. Fox. Still the best movie of the 80's ever!🏫

*"The space-time continuum is full of infinite possibilities and alternate timelines in it's unending books and crannies. These include events and histories that could happen, have happened, may never happen, have been erased from existence or exist entirely as conjecture. How then do we classify this tale? For now, suffice to call it entertainment. As a physicist, I can speculate no further."* - Dr. Emmett L. Brown

Stoltz did Mask about the same time. Ironically, Mask and Back to the Future are my two favorite movies!

Robert Zemeckis made the right decision not to have any remakes, reboots, sequels, etc.. considering how many of those we have now from well known IPs

​@@detroitdiezel7856Universal had the rights to make sequels. And told Zemeckis and Gale if they didn't do BTTF 2 they'd make it without them. After 3, Zemeckis and Gale gained the rights back, which is why Universal haven't been able to make any more after that. The stage musical remake was the two Bob's idea.

"Space man from Pluto" hahahaha Whether it's on Reaper's reviews or this channel, I love that clip from the simpsons "oh how convenient". You guys are knocking it out of the park with the quality man, remember me when you hit 500k subs

I don't know what Sid Sheinberg was thinking. Even in the 80's that title would have been box office poison and laughed at. His rationale contradicts itself since he thinks BTTF is too genre, but Spaceman From Pluto isn't. Despite him saying some might say it evokes Sci-Fi movies. I.e. genre. I'm sure to this day people would be saying that movie lied as none of the characters are spacemen.

@@davidjames579 He was clearly not in touch with the modern audience. 'Space man from pluto' sounds like a movie that'd get made in the 50s. Although I guess if Marty's dad writes a book about the space man from pluto (inspired by marty's time machine) then the title makes sense.

Headcanon twist: Despite looking more like George, Eric Stoltz’s version of Marty McFly is actually Marty Tannen. He completely destroyed his own timeline, thinking he had fixed it.

Excellent video!

When I first saw the idea for a time-traveling fridge it actually reminds me of the Tardis

I think the original would've been really interesting. But I think the end result was a perfect balance between comedy and sober themes. I truly love this trilogy.

It's quite astonishing, when you go looking for production photos, just how much of the movie seems to have been completed before they recast. It seems a good number of plot-critical scenes actually have alternative versions featuring Stoltz somewhere, but maybe not quite enough to make the full movie. Even getting to see what there is would be fascinating.

Lovely. A definite group effort.
