Old Biff shouldn't even have changed the timeline in the 1st place. Period. Blaming Marty is like saying Bruce got his parents killed in Batman Begins for asking them to leave the theatre even though Joe Chill shouldn't even have killed Bruce's parents in the 1st place. If someone commits a crime it's the fault of the person who commited it
This is most of my collection. The TOMY 1/10 replicar is too big to fit in there, but everything else does! Sorry for the lackluster photo quality. Hard to photo the light up sign!
I previously posted my signed Pepsi Perfect bottle by Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Today I got to add a signed Sports Almanac and some signed purple Calvin Klein’s!
Yeah, that Bob Gale.
It’s called Interstate 60. It features Michael J Fox (briefly) and Christopher Lloyd (also briefly), and it’s got a great cast including Gary Oldman and James Marsden. And it’s… meh. Interesting idea but oh boy, the execution was sadly lacking. Still I’m glad I saw it. It’s over 20 yrs old. It’s not even in the same ballpark as BTTF though.
Yes, she shouldn't have tried to bust her brother out. But loyalty is always admirable, especially when it involves family.
She must really love her brother.
My question is, assuming she is a first time offender, why was her punishment so harsh?
10 year sentence...sure. But TWENTY!?! Goddamn, 2010s Hill Valley ain't playing around.
Still think the smartest thing Doc could have done is just TELL Marty what was going to happen to his future children on that date and let him take care of it.
I enjoyed Eric Stoltz as an actor and even find him more attractive than Michael J Fox, but I’d like to bring something up and see what others think of this from the fraction of footage we see of him as Marty.
First and foremost, I am only analyzing his portrayal of Marty from an aesthetics point of view. The performance itself isn’t really seen in what’s been released so I’m just going to talk about how Stoltz was styled by the make up and costume teams.
Although the narrative makes a more subdued contrast between Marty and his door mat father, I think Stoltz looks like he has too much of an edge to play Marty. He doesn’t look as tough and mean like Biff, but he looks like he could be in Biff’s posse. It almost feels like the costume designer was paying tribute to the Jailhouse Rock aesthetic we see in the Elvis photos but with 80s versions of the same or similar clothing. Feels more Uncle Jesse or Night Rider than Marty McFly.
Marty hates being called chicken, but personality and looks wise you wouldn’t think he’s all that tough. I think it shows how Marty is the middle ground between Biff and his father and how he is probably the most secure and authentic in his presentation. Marty doesn’t take anyone’s shit but he also has vulnerability, can be funny and silly and isn’t too proud to ask for help or express helplessness. It would have been a total waste of Michael J Fox’s warmth and charisma to not paint Marty with these kinds of brush strokes.
If Marty wasn’t like this he wouldn’t be as relatable or the films as profitable and I think the film wouldn’t be as successful. It’s important fr audiences to identity with protagonists instead of just admiring or aspiring to be them. I think Stoltz physical appearance as styled makes Marty come off as more arrogant in vein of an 80s rockstar than a humble kid who plays the guitar earnestly through hard work and practice.
Anyone else feel this way about how Marty looked when* *being played by Stoltz?
Even the gap between the 1980s and the 2010s (in universe) still resembled one another. There was still an 80s aesthetic to everything (for obvious reasons).
But man, is the 1950s so different than the 1980s
A person from the 50s would acclimate better to the 20s than a person from the 80s to the 50s.
Cars are slower. Everything is quieter. People still wear hats. Music is still slow. Television is a luxury. People are still friendly and open (as long as you're the right color lol).
Keep in mind, in 1955 America hasn't even launched a satellite into space yet. So much in fashion, culture and technology changed in 30s years. It honestly looks like Marty went back 60s years, not 30.
This is why no remake of BTTF would work. The quantum leap of the 30 year gap makes the Marty fish out fo water jokes work better.
A kid from 2026 to 1996 would mostly have to adjust to there being no social media. But how he was dressed wouldn't stick out too much.
It was really fun to build, I recommend getting it if ur a huge bttf fan like me.
Is there a way to get the back to the future GOG version some how
Those of you with technical electronic skills. How hard would it be to wire a 1985 camcorder into a 1955 TV?
I was -19 years old when the film was released. In other words, I completely missed the 80s and the 90s. Born too late to enjoy this masterpiece in the theatre.
I was at my local liquor store this afternoon, standing by the seltzers waiting for my wife to text back what she wanted and I heard clocks ticking. I knew it was BTTF but had to give it that extra second or two for confirmation.
n the opening scene in Doc Browns shop there’s a black clock with the streetlight… anyone know anything about it?

The classic 1989 sci-fi film Back to the Future Part II famously predicted that households would utilize advanced pizza hydration technology by the year 2015. In this cinematic vision, characters placed a tiny, dehydrated disc into a high-tech Black and Decker hydrator, instantly producing a full-sized hot meal.
While real-world modern culinary engineering has not yet perfected this instant expansion process, the amusing fictional concept explicitly reflects imaginative late 20th-century expectations regarding future domestic convenience.
