Why does Part II of Back to the Future rarely get played?

there's a paradox where marty should have ceased to exist the way he is as soon as new biff gave old biff the sports almanac

the first one had its share of contnuity errors.

After reading that I wonder if some of the errors were because Michael J Fox wasn't originally cast as Marty.

Eric Stoltz was the first Marty and scenes were shot again later with Fox.

This is true. He would have made a bad Marty though. When you think of it, no one could be McFly except for Michael J. Fox

No. George McFly and Lorraine were married still and had all their kids but Biff murdered him. Biff mentions all 3 kids and how they are worthless (Right before Marty finds out George is dead).

So in theory, you can't change the past to affect the future.... The future is already set.... Marty had to succeed in the past or else he wouldn't exist to come back from the future...
Right?

sorry, i'm, having a philosophical debate and he's caliming something else...

nope, in BTTF 1, the mall they meet at is called "Twin Pines Mall"...when Marty goes back in time, he runs over one of the two pine trees that old koot was growing, and in the end of the movie, its called "Lone Pine Mall"

My favorite hoot is when Marty gets out of the car the first time in teh future. There's a poster behind him that says 'Surf Vietnam' (from Apocalypse Now: "Charlie Don't Surf!!")

I liked all three OK: Number one is still the favorite.

Seeing ZZ Top in the third one was pretty good too.

FWIW

Another vote for 3 being the worst. I dunno, I just didn't like it as much.

I think part of why I enjoyed 2 so much (other than the fact that hoverboards kicked serious amounts of a$$) is that it took soooooo damn long to come out. I remember seeing the previews at the end of part I announcing the sequel, and it was a good few years after that until anything happened. Once it was finally released, I was in love.

I is definitely the best, though.

Of course we couldn't think of anyone else being Marty..but thats cause we only know Marty as Michael J. Fox.
