The Real Reason Marty McFly’s Dad Wasn't In The Sequel

Ойын-сауық

It's no secret that there were several re-castings throughout the Back to the Future franchise. Though the firing of Crispin Glover who played George McFly started a conversation around an actors likeness that was still being fought over during the 2023 SAG Strike. Re-casting George McFly is one thing, but using prosthetics and makeup to make another actor look like Crispin Glover in Back to the Future 2 was a step too far. But why exactly did George McFly get fired from Back to the Future?

    My headcannon about Jennifer looking different in Part II is that Marty's meddling in 1955 may have inadvertently caused one of Jen's parents to meet a different person so in the new timeline that Marty created her, genetics are slightly different. I guess it's like the old trope where someone accidentally kills a bug when visiting the distant past and when they return to the present they learn that hyperintelligent dolphins have won WWII or some other insane thing.

    I think it's pretty clear from the way the production handled the replacement casting, and what has come out after the fact, that Crispin Glover was treated poorly after the making of the first film. I also doubt that he wanted to be paid as much as the star of the film, but just the same as his fellow co-stars.

    Agreed. While I doubt his story of the moral of Back to the Future, because it’s not like the McFly family had really moved up in the world to being fabulously wealthy. After all, they still lived in the same home, and his older siblings (who were out of high school) were still living at home. Yes the house was marginally nicer and they drove nicer cars. But the moral shown in the altered timeline was that George had gained confidence to come closer to being the person he had always aspired to be.

    From reading everything - I get the impression that Glover had been a really difficult person to work with in the first film. There were quite a few scenes that took a whole bunch of takes because he couldn't follow instructions properly. The difference between glover and Lea Thompson was that the latter seemed to really help bind the cast together. There's quite a lot of stories of Glover being difficult to work with and him having a short temper. Another thing that really makes me not a fan of Crispin Glover is that Jeffrey Weissman actually helped Glover with the lawsuit - and Glover immediately told Universal absolutely wrecking Weissman's career. Whilst I agree Glover was treated unfairly over the likeness incident - it feels to me like it certainly didn't do himself any favours.

    I sort of disagree that what was gained at the end of the first movie was wealth. I mean they seem to be doing a bit better financially. However the parents’ relationship DOES seem to be stronger. And the monetary gain is tied more to George’s career. Which to me is way more about George achieving his dreams, rather than having more money. Although it’s definitely a bonus with the car Marty gets. Money seems to be a minor bonus to me, not the main thing that was gained. I’d say it’s a distant third to the parents love and George’s happiness with his career.

    I agree. If you examine the first scene with George in 1985, he is basically doing 2 jobs at his workplace, his and Biff's. The only reason that he wasn't advancing in that workplace was because of Biff's bullying. Another thing to notice is that the family didn't change houses, they just went from being a dysfunctional, middle class family to being a functional, slightly upper middle class family. They didn't switch to living in the kind of McMansion that we saw in a lot of other 1980's movies.

George McFly was integral to the first film but wasn't all that important to the plot of the second and third. He wouldn't have had much to do outside what we've seen in Part 2, and his death makes A LOT of sense and drama for the Alternate 1985.

    Ever since I learned of this after watching the trilogy, I kept pondering how potentially better the sequels could be if Gripson Glover reprised in Part ll especially. For what they managed to do I’m okay what we got. Just can’t help but sake the feeling they had missed narrative opportunities. It just sounds like they didn’t appreciate him enough to meet his revenue request. He was a significant reason why the first movie was such a classic. Of course it doesn’t guarantee the sequels would be as good, but I’m sure his role would have been just as great. Apparently he was suppose to be the dad ancestor for Part lll too.

It never occurred to me that there could or should be the narrative that money equals happiness. I mean, I get the viewpoint but it seems a bit too simplistic to me.

    This is actually the reason in part 2 they wound up having George Mcfly dead in alt 1985 and went that route. not sure what they would have done otherewesie. also why even what scenes he was in barely, it was very limited. honestly though. Glover was being an idiot tryign to demand how the people paying his paycheck end a movie. he also wanted as much money as Fox but he was nowheree near the tar Fox was at the time. and honestly he is wrong. anyway having more money etc.. meant george and lorraine were both in a healthier relationship becasue he gained confidence, stood up for himself, and confidence also bring more financial success as wlel, it wasn't like they lived in a big mansion. they were literally in the same house. the success was he became a sci fi writer nd had his first novel published at this point. he looked happier, healthier. the kids instead of working at Mcdonalds had a job that likely meant he had to go to college for . same house. just cleaner. a little more updated. having a slightly nicer car. but i do wonder if he would have played shemus mcfly instead of fox if he was in part 3

As stated that’s what they did with Marty’s girlfriend, replaced the actress.

Yes, they’re a little richer but that’s not the point. The message is still one of self-respect.

    It makes me wonder what the original storyline was supposed to be in Part 2 and if Part 3 was changed at all. I do however like how they brought back Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters Afterlife. It was a great sendoff to a guy who meant a lot to some of the other actors.

    The ending of the first movie resulted in the increased confidence and self esteem that McFly snr had after he laid out Tannen and got his girl. I have seen this movie umpteen times over the past 3 decades and that is the thing that I picked up on, not the money. I would love for someone to make a video to discuss how Marty's parents dont seem to recognise him from 1955.

    Never in all these years did I notice it wasn't Glover, he definitely has good reason to be mad about his likeness being used, but I still side with the studio execs that there is no way he should have gotten the same pay as Michael J Fox for that supporting role. (Great work by the make up artists though!)

    I do wonder why this is so frequently an issue when Jenifer's actress hasn't spoken out either. Growing up I never caught it , but when people see her in back to back viewings on DVD they see it right away. I also wonder why are AI and George McFly style moves so bad? Dumbledore on Harry Potter had more then one actor Every American President has been plaid by a look a like multiple times Stan and Ollie and other Biographical films don't use the original actors What is the difference between John C. Reilly and the digital Tarkin model? Would you be less mad if Roug one used a live action actor in heavy make up to play Tarkin? what about Val Kilmer's replacing of Michael Keaton? Steve Whitmire replacing Jim Henson? Glenn Strange replacing Boris Karloff? Johnny Depp's Ed Wood? jim carrey as andy kaufman? Tom Hanks as basically every one? CGI is a tool. One that is had it not been used would have been replaced by make up. These characters would have STILL been in there respective movies. CGI is still a mask . a mask worn by Andy Serkis or some one of the like. You can't hold it but it is a form of make up. Ideally done with respect. Not always expected do be respectful Martin Short , or Darrell Hammond has proven impersonation doesn't have to be respectful. But I feel CGI is fair game, so is make up. Certain people need to be in certain movie. If some one quits or gets fired or dies they ARE replicable. Some times you are the David Prowse, the Jeremy Bulloch, the Anthony Daniels, the Kenny Baker. Some times you are Brandon Routh or George Clooney. Some times you are Dan Castellaneta or Dave Coulier some times you are Mike Weinberg. You NEVER want to be Mike Weinberg. This kind of thing happens Its not wrong and some times you should just deal with it rather then start drama Space Jam 2 and Forest Gump also used digital actors with no objections and so does all the animal movies and half the little kid movies.

    Back To The Future is one of the greatest trilogies in cinema history, and some of the greatest movies ever on their own merits. It would've been interesting if Crispin Glover had come back because with the original George, the films would have probably been written differently, to incorporate more of him into the story, and probably would have changed the flow and the specifics of the plot of the movie in a big way. But as it is, they're still impeccable and absolutely worthy sequels even with diminishing George McFly's presence.

    5:30 Stuff like this makes it so painfully obvs to me how bad my facial blindness rly is xD Id legit not know those were two diff ppl if not for havin it ptd out. The slightly darker hair is like the only visible diff id even notice, and honestly that i cud see comin down to lightin and natural change with age; esp bcuz i can see that Claudia Wells isnt bathed in nearly as much bright light as Elisabeth Shue But yeah, even knowin there are key diffs when i rly start to look deep, those are just a blur of small diffs as far as my memory is concerned; and bein aphantastic as i am, i dont actually have visual memory... So i know that makes the facial blindness worse too Lookin closely i see diffs in nose shape, head size, eyes entirely, teeth, and eyebrows; but i gotta rly study to see all that and i know that in an hr i wont be able to say for sure which one had which features, unles my brain obsessed over it and even then i dont think id remember each one correctly Whereas most other ppl wud be able to say stuff like who has the bigger nostrils, just from their memory if theyve watched stuff with both actresses in it. Even without them ever rly considerin that they actually know that fact; its just there, in the memory banks waitin to be retrieved when prompted It scares me sometimes how well such folks, like a friend of mine, can see a person on screen or even hear a voice and go "Oh, i know exactly who that is" even when they, to me, dont at all look like the person they then show me on their phone xD

    I never saw ending as money making happiness, more as self confidence makes both, happiness and wealth. About lawsuit, it's little bit slippery - on one side, Glover is right, but on other, most of the scenes are no different from scenes made with stunt doubles... I think, if their contract allowed reusing footage in sequel, most of the scenes could pass under common practice used for stunt doubles (same haircut, minor makeup, distant shooting), but some step way over the line, like the floating one or any where he speaks any line.

    Isn't the other part of the story surrounding the recasting of C. Glover that the director, producers, and to some extent his co-stars disliked having to work with him? Supposedly, he was being very difficult, always disagreeing with or questioning the direction or the script, and sometimes randomly incorporating weird acting choices for his character because that's what he felt like doing at the time. The crew just grew tired of that and, quite understandably, IMHO, wanted to avoid having to deal with that for the sequels, back to back no less.

    2:53 I don’t agree that the moral of Back to the Future is about money making people happy. I think what happened with George is that, by standing up for himself, he was able to gain the confidence that he didn’t have prior. Clearly they aren’t a whole lot more rich in the altered future, after all the adult children still have jobs (they even have better more fulfilling jobs) and they all live in the same house together still. What George’s confidence gave the family was the ability to realize more of their potential. Similar to how Marty changes and outgrows his need to not be a “chicken” in the second film, this ability makes it so his bully (or frenemy or whatever Flea’s character is) has no power of Marty and he’ll have one less barrier to realizing his best self. In my opinion Glover probably made up this excuse after the fact to make himself seem less materialistic.

    The whole "money equals happiness" ending that Crispin Glover dislikes requires a more nuanced conversation. In the real world, the idea that money equals happiness can end up being true when you take into consideration someone's material conditions. In Glover's case, when you consider that he wanted to be paid the same as some of his co-stars for the sequels, one can say that money might have meant happiness for him in that moment. I think it's a little bit of both - wealth, required to live with dignity and meet the economic standards acceptable in the eyes of society as it champions an idealized "shining city on a hill" image of itself, and family - that truly makes people happy. While I don't deny the possibility of coming around to accepting one's "new" family, and the movie does make it seem that Marty did, I just think that most people would not abandon the memories of their old family in favor of a new, wealthier one. In a country like America, family and capitalism lie at the core of the ideals which it was founded on, and one cannot exist without the other. Both are the necessities to happiness.

    I disagree with him on the ending of the first movie. Yes, they were in a more desirable financial situation but they weren’t exactly rich. Money wasn’t the “reward” it was a product of the ripple effect. Because George stood up to Biff in the past, Biff no longer got credit for George’s work in 1985 and therefore George probably was in a different position with higher pay. He also finally had the courage to publish a novel which most likely included some type of book advance. That might of even been what was used to pay for the new Toyota. To George, finishing the book was his biggest accomplishment and the lesson he wanted to pass down to his kids “If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.” There are still many similarities between their class status at the beginning and end of the movie including - they still live in the same house and even though Dave now works at an office, he and Linda still live at home.
