I love 2, it's my all-time favorite time travel movie well along with Endgame. Ending on a to be continued... was one of the first time I remember ever knowing you knew right away a sequel was coming.

2021-08-06 04:08:54 +0000 UTCI know, I kinda liked the original Jennifer myself and they should've just kept her for the other two movies instead of getting Elizabeth Shue to replace her.

2021-07-16 03:59:20 +0000 UTCA couple bits of trivia. Michael J Fox not only played Marty Mcfly's son in the movie. He aslo played his daughter. Which is funny and creepy at the same time. Also Crispin Glover did not reprise his role of George Mcfly. They could not come to an agreement. So what they did is hire someone else and they used prosthetics on his face to make him look as close to Crispin as possible. They made a lot of people, including me think it was Crispin. I was fooled for many years. So Crispin sued them for that and for not being paid for them reusing footage of him from the first movie and he won. While this movie is not as good as the first one, i still loved it. Being an 80's kid i liked their take on what the future would look like. The cubs may not have won the world series in 2015 but they won it the next year in 2016. Close enough. One thing i felt the movie did was take away the impact of George knocking out Biff. After the first one i'd imagine Biff never bothered George again. But in this one you see after the knockout he's still a jerk and nothing has changed. And still looks like the kind of guy who would try and get even with George.

2021-05-20 19:51:20 +0000 UTCI just ran across this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-Ap5Av9oks), and I wonder if it explains some of the difficulties with the second script. In my opinion they recapture some of the old feel with the third.

2021-03-22 22:35:44 +0000 UTCI had no idea either. Your post made me curious though, and I found this article: https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-hoverboard-scene-in-back-to-the-future-2-nearly-kil-1713294885

2021-03-03 07:29:17 +0000 UTCI went back and watched the “spoilers/trailers” after watching the third last night and I guess it didn’t give away too much, just enticed you more! I loved being able to watch all 3 together so closely, really a great, fun, clever, and nothing like it trilogy!
Cassie
2021-03-03 07:28:05 +0000 UTCYes, it was just too overdone I think! They sure do make the characters play a range of ages, personalities (like his parents) and that’s fun to see. I just watched the 3rd one last night and it really was just so FUN and I feel like I haven’t seen anything else like it!
Cassie
2021-03-03 07:23:44 +0000 UTCYes, I agree, didn’t love it as much as the first, felt like they were trying too hard in the future part, but still very enjoyable and likable!
Cassie
2021-03-03 07:20:55 +0000 UTCIf you watch close during the chase scene early in the movie when Marty is running from Griff's posse, the female punk's guide wire snaps and she seriously hurts herself. They kept that take in the movie because it was the only one they could get. She may have broken her back, I don't recall right this minute.

2021-03-02 00:39:19 +0000 UTCI totally agree about the 2015 part of the movie being too cartoonish. For me the movie really takes off when they go back to the alternate 1985. Thomas F Wilson does an amazing job at playing rich/evil Biff and MJF gives a great dramatic performance when learning of his father's death. When they go back to 1955 I love the double Marty and Doc escapades and callbacks to the first movie. Really clever writing. Part 3 is probably my least favorite, but I still think it's great (that says a lot for the quality of these movies). Thanks for doing these... Can't wait to see your reaction to the conclusion of the trilogy!

2021-03-01 17:47:48 +0000 UTCWell done for stopping it were you did, weird choice to include those clips / spoilers. The script for this one was way clunkier and less satisfying than the first..and set unrealistic expectations for some of us about 2015. Marty is a great movie hero for sure.
