Back to the Future II

[coldmeat]

I'm just watching this movie again. I love these movies, but I've always wondered about this one.

Why go to the future? Why couldn't the doc just warn him about what's going to happen?

 

[mugs]

He might forget. Kids don't listen.

I could come up with no less than a trillion questions like that about most sci-fi movies.

 

[Goosemaster]

"...but will it blend?"

YES. GOD YES.

I don't want to see him replace 'h' with ''' hundreds of billions of times.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Because that would make for a sucky script?

Because it wouldn't be much of a movie then.

Because the future is causal. It hasn't been written yet. It can turn out differently.

Great Scott! You think Marty would be able to grasp everything Doc tells him about him and his kids' future, remember it 30 years down the road, and stop it from happening when he could just go in a time machine and take care of it then and there?

This is heavy....

 

[coldmeat]

Watching it again, I'm noticing a lot more holes in their timelines. Biff gives the book to himself then travels to the same future he left from? Then doc and Marty travel back to 1985 but are somehow now in the timeline where Biff has all of his money?

 

[imported_Imp]

Anyone know of they filmed I and II simultaneously? Or did they redo everything in I for II again... Don't feel like googling. Cool movies. I use to love III, but became less fond of it as I got older.

I think II and III were filmed at the same time.

When Biff returns in the DeLorean, he collapses. That's because the timeline is "catching up," and he's dead at that time in the new timeline.

Yeah, they reshot some of the scenes from BTTF. Crispin Glover won a lawsuit over that, because they used a different actor in those scenes. The "To be continued..." card at the end of BTTF was added for the VHS release, it wasn't in the theatrical release.

That's the great thing about the movies... kids can watch them and enjoy it, but there's always more for the astute watcher (usually just meaning someone older that can catch the little nuances). I watched them a lot as a kid (I've always enjoyed movies with the crazy inventors ) and I rewatched 'em again maybe a year ago... I saw a couple things that I didn't even remember and it made me realize just how seamless half the stuff truly is.

There's that word again... why is everything in the future so heavy? Did something happen to the Earth's gravitational pull?

Best. Trilogy. Ever.

Also, Hollywood please DO NOT remake these movies. BTTF wouldn't be BTTF without Fox and Lloyd.
