Today's random fact

Michael J Fox was the first choice to play Marty McFly in Back to the Future, but he was too busy working on the TV series Family Ties. Therefore, the producers cast Eric Stoltz (he played on movies like Mask and Some Kind of Wonderful). After 4 weeks of shooting, Stoltz got the boot because he was playing the role too seriously (he wanted to make it an action movie, not a action/comedy like intented). Luckily, by this time, Fox had become available.

Elijah Wood made his film debut in Back to the Future 2 as one of the little kids playing the video game in Cafe 80's.
Flea was also in Back to the Future 2/3.

In some of the scenes (like when Marty escapes the Libyans by traveling back in time in the very beginning) the actor in the car is Stoltz.

You can't see Marty very clearly so they didn't bother redoing those shots.

I've got a back to the future question that's always bugged me.

Doc has ALWAYS said no one should know too much about their own future, and he always doesn't want to know his, and he doesnt want to tell marty his either. (Like in BTTF3, he said "That's how you get yourself into that accident" and marty asks for more info but Doc will not tell him more)

WHY THEN is the whole reason of going to the future in part 2 is to PREVENT Martys future kids from going to Jail? Not only is doc telling tons of info but he's going through time and changing it all. That is very Un-Doc like and has always bothered me.

If that bugs you, in BTTF3 he says "The future hasn't been written yet, so make it a good one!"

So how does BTTF2 make sense at all? 😛

So true 😛

He should have just let Marty by that Almanac cause maybe then a Rich McFly family wouldn't have gotten into trouble like that 😛
