Watching this movie trilogy is something of a rite of passage in our family. My dad jokingly refused to let my hubby marry me until he'd seen all 3 films.

My absolute favorite movie and one of the very best examples of how to write a screenplay. I still occasionally notice details I haven't before in my literal dozens of times watching

🎶 "That's The Power Of Love!" 🎶 Fun Fact: The judge who stands up to say that Marty is "just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis, whose songs "The Power Of Love" and "Back In Time" are featured in this movie. Small Connection Fact: When Lorraine follows Marty back to Doc's house, she and Doc exchange an awkward greeting. This marks the only on-screen dialogue that Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson ever have, though they have appeared together in six movies. Automobile Enthusiast Fact: Writers Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis actually received a fan letter from John DeLorean after the film's release, thanking them for immortalizing his car.

The entire sequence leading up to the lightning strike is just a fucking anxiety attack simulator.

Oh man, one of the greatest stories ever written! Can't wait for parts 2 and 3!

Did you think the puppy in 1955 was Einstein? Thirty years back... 😄

The saying that Biff got wrong is "make like a tree...and leave".

I find it funny that everyone that see's Copernicus thinks it's Einstein, the Dog would have been 30+ years old 😂

When his band plays in the beginning, the guy saying they're too loud is Huey Lewis. The writer of the song and theme of the movie.

This movie is the definition of what I call the Swiss watch approach to filmmaking, where every element is important and gets set up, reminded and paid off perfectly. Also, a subtle detail that comes across on rewatch and becomes a theme in the series: the reason Doc kept the letter, altering his own future to survive, is foreshadowed when he has the moment looking at the photo and seems worried but shrugs it off; George knocking Biff out changed history, and yet the photo remains as it should be, thus fate is not immutable - history hasn't been predestined.

The author admitted that there's a certain weird-haired, bullying, not-too-bright politician the character of Biff is inspired by - and it shines through quite a lot especially in the second movie.

The second movie is what inspired me to become a physics teacher! :)

One of my all time fave movies. I was born in 84. So BTTF, Ghostbusters and Ninja Turtles were my jam haha When you watch part 2 keep an eye out for young Elijah Wood

*Christopher Lloyd* is also in *(Who Framed Roger Rabbit)* which would be a great movie to react to. Since it's one of the first real world animation splits

Fun Fact - Someone may have posted this, but the guy who told Marty that his band was "too loud" was the actual Huey Lews and it was his song they were playing. :)

What do we want?! - Time Travel!! When do we want it?! - That's irrelevant!! Outrageous! I'm very glad you've righted this wrong and watched the first in this iconic trilogy! 😁 Re your Freudian slip at the beginning - yanno, when Doc and Marty were driving, it was a manned-Delorean, and when Einstein was testing it, it was an unmanned-Delorean. Jus' sayin'... 😉

Family Ties was the TV show that MJF was on.

the 1950s expression Biff screws up is "make like a tree and LEAVE""

Great video :D. Saw this when I was kid, then a teen. Yet I still discover new things every time. Like Doc Browns gloves smoking after he zip lines down to the boulevard.

So most of the move takes place at night due to Michael working on Family Ties at the time. He was working on about 2 hours sleep for the entire shooting on this movie.

"When were skateboards invented?" According to my research around early November of 1955 ...

"I was too busy watching movies like Bloodsport" "Were they not allowed to show blood in the 80s?"

One amazing thing about these movies is that they are full of small details! You can watch the trilogy ten times and every time you discover new small things that connect the story. For example, the mall was called "Twin Pines Mall" in the beginning. But when Marty travelled back to 1955 and escaped farmer Peabody, he accidently run over one of the pines with his car. And when he's returned to 1985, the mall is now called "Lone Pine Mall". Also, when Doc Brown was climbing/hanging/slipping on the clock, he broke off a small part of the concrete with his foot. That piece was not missing in the beginning of the movie, but after Marty's return to 1985, you can see the missing piece. Have an open eye for details like these... They will appear again and again in all three movies. ;)

Abi, watching this reaction reminded me of another series on Hulu called "Future Man." They too parody the "You know the new sound you're looking for, well listen to this" scene. I think you would LOVE that series. It is silly, very topical which references a ton of other works, and is roll-on-the-floor hilarious. Three seasons, and complete now. I highly recommend it to you, and think it would make a great replacement for Community as you finish that series. And as far as I know, no other reactors on KZfaq have done it yet.

So glad to see you having so much fun 🙂 Also, I don't rembember the 80's movies being shy on showing blood.

Back to the Future is such a great 80s film, and I remember enjoying Michael J. Fox (and surprisingly a bunch of other famous actors) on the show Spin City in the 90s.

Skateboard was invented in 1958 The best movies the third one

Oh my god my childhood one of my favorites Back to the Future directed by Robert Zemeckis starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, Thomas F. Wilson and music score by Alan Silvestri. The soundtrack of the film is the music video of the song "The Power of Love" single by Huey Lewis and the News. By the way Huey Lewis makes a cameo as one of the teachers saying "Too darn loud". Thanks Abi great reaction and don't forget reacts Back to the Future Part II and Part III. Great Scott!, This is heavy!, 1.21 Gigowaaaaats😱😱😱

Those movies are full of little Easter eggs. For example at the beginning, the mall was called "Two Pines Mall". But after they changed the past and Marty came back, it was named "Single Pine Mall". Cause they hit one of the trees when they travel to the past.

Hahah really love your reaction to the movie. I just watched it again yesterday. Love your commentary, you've earned a new Subbie. Greets from the Netherlands Abi! 😉

17:15 Bullet proof vests had been available for over a hundred years.

You Are Awesome 🤩I saw this i in a theater the day it was released… I was in High School. The entire place Cheered at the end, just cuz it was so extraordinary of a film . Nothing had been done like it before . It Still gets the respect it deserves and now has new generations loving it . Makes me smile 😊 love your vibe & style .. ⭐️

I think the teakettle scream at the end was the best part of all of this lol. Back to the Future really was a big part of the culture, which is way so many shows refer to it. And if you ever read the books Ready Player One & Ready Player Two, it gives so much that will make you love it

Your reaction was so brilliant! Loved it. Keep them coming please!

Im all for this. The whole trilogy!

Chance was the dog you were trying to think of. Homeward Bound was a childhood favorite of mine. ^^

The acting is one of most charming and awesome things about the film.

"If you wanna rock and roll, you gotta get ready to shed some blood" You. I like you.

Doc Brown out here changing lives and fighting terrorism.

Great reaction! 😊 This was one of my favorite movies growing up in the 80s. This one, and it two sequels still remain my all-time favorite movies. And this is one of my favorite Michael J. Fox movies. You'll really enjoy the next two. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

I saw somebody remark that the most unrealistic aspect of this movie was getting a delorean to do 88MPH. :D

The puppy in the past isn’t actually Einstein, or Einstein’s doing quite well for a 30+ year old dog I forget if it was a KZfaq commentary or a podcast, but I heard someone give an interesting nuanced explanation for Doc and Marty’s friendship being like kindred oddballs or something, and then laughing because in the script or something it’s just because Doc has the biggest amp in town 😂. There’s some comics and one of them actually tells the story of how they met

The actress playing Marty's mom also starred in Howard the Duck. It is a must watch if you are an MCU fan since Howard was featured in the GotG credits scene, and he was at the battle in Endgame.

a popular saying back in the day when you wanted someone to "get out of here" was to tell 'em to make like a tree and leave u know cuz trees usually got a buncha leaves but Biff gets it wrong cuz he so stoopid

this is one of the best back to the future reactions I've seen...your smile is awesome

Should watch 2 & 3 on the same day. They're worth it

Love this movie, grew up on it, my name Dorian rhymin with Delorian was enough to be hit with back to the future references for some reason, lol at mandalorian easy Freudian slip to make, ya Michael J Fox definitely played a significant part in my childhood with a lot of things he appeared in, glad to see you reacting to this

Just discovered your channel, and I am highly impressed! Very good reaction, enjoy your energy, and your references, thank you, hope to see more, and subscribed now

The skateboard was invented in 1958. 3 years after Marty "really" invented it.

Fun fact you probably missed: Twin Pines Mall the place of where Doc and Marty first use the time machine becomes Lone Pine Mall when Marty comes back from the past because he hit one of the pines with the Delorean when he went to the past.

When you see Part 2 (if you havn't already), you should stop at the To Be Continued title card at the end, because they play a preview for 3 that spoils it.

we did a thing called "young ameritown" where we all played our own business owners and went around for services for supplies and stuff

As an ‘83 baby I absolutely loved this movie as a kid, and even today I probably own about 12 Back to the Future shirts that I wear more anything else.

80s except horror movies they rarely showed Saving Private Ryan level of blood

No spoilers but as a heads up there are *"Easter Eggs"* throughout this trilogy that connect the movies to one another

This is hilarious because I mentioned on the What We Do In the Shadows reaction that that was one of my “5 Films on a Desert Island” and this is coincidentally one of the others ha! Glad you loved it, it’s such a great damn movie. No doubt you’ll be watching the rest. Great reaction!

At the end of the BTTF2, you'll see a sign that says "To be concluded". Right after that, there is a trailer of the third movie that spoils too much stuff. If you want to go blind into BTTF3, I suggest you to stop watching when you see that sign ;)

It shouldn’t surprise me anymore that there are people out there that haven’t seen Back to the future but it does😂but always happy to see someone else discover it! The music is so good & I love that they jsut set up everything in the beginning all for it to come back around in the end this is my fav trilogy of the 90’s when it comes to 90’s or 80’s films. There’s a handful of stuff I still haven’t seen

Loved the reaction. This is one of my all-time favorites. The whole trilogy is good. I saw the original in the theater when I was 8.

Thank you for reacting to one of my favorite movies. Enjoyed every second of it. Keep it up 👌

skadeboarding came up in the 1940s xD the kid was just impressed xD

Just brilliant!

My favorite part of reactions to this movie is young people's assumption that we had no technology in the 80s. And yes Abi, they showed blood in the 80s. Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out in 73 and it was very bloody.

What?! How have you not seen this already?

doc brown invented the bulletproof vest

Good reaction 😉

You never know what will happen when you turn on your tablet, today I found a reactor that I instantly fell in love with. Not sure how I’ve never found you as I am an avid reactor fan. What a great surprise! The best part about you tube,well, other then you 😀

Maybe the two most universally beloved movies you should see are "The Princess Bride" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" (AFAIK you haven't seen either... ) I mention them here specifically because Christopher Lloyd is in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" He's every bit as good in that as he is in this. What a fun, outrageous performance.

For so many years I was very judgy of Marty's grandfather, but those kids kinda did jump in front of his car.

I mean, George fell from the tree. Close enough to jumping in front of the car.

It just occurred to me, even if the Doc had been killed at the end, Marty could have taken some plutonium and recharged the Delorean and had a second go, since one assumes the plutonium was still there. Also the scene with Biff and Lorraine in the car. I don't think it was meant to imply a rape in the high school car park with all those people walking around, as I don't think Biff was that stupid since he was obviously scared of the Deputy Principle, but certainly he would have been feeling her up in a big way.

Omg, lessgoo... 🤘😝🤘 When you mentioned your only reference being _Rick & Morty,_ it reminds me of how as a kid before I saw this movie I'd seen the _Muppet Babies_ episode heavily based on this and *that's* what got me obsessed with time travel stories. *Edit:* the 80s was such a different time that Marty's dad being a creepy peeping Tom could just be dismissed as some kind of a comedy but ❗ 😳 Classic line: "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

Another neat fact: Marty was originally played by Eric Stoltz, and they shot like 3/4 of the movie before dumping him! They wanted Michael J. Fox but he wasn't able to break previous contracts. Eric is a "method actor" (which a lot of actors find annoying) and also took the role WAY too seriously, he thought Marty's character was tragic and depressed. Here's some clips: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ld2ll7GS2LfGpmQ.html also here's Tom Wilson (Biff - he's actually a really nice guy) on working with Eric Stoltz, it's worth the listen: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbOhoLOG2qi3noU.html

Oh my gosh I’m having so much fun on this one I feel silly hehehehehehe

To be fair; it is a ‘manned DeLorean’.

Skateboards were popular in the 60's

This really is a great film

Yeah its a bit of a commitment. But you gotta watch all three of them now. One of the few worthwhile threequels.

Love your reactions. This was a great one. I assume you meant community theater when your referenced Lea Thompson's somewhat broad performance. (Although I would, myself say that it's a directorial choice that most of the performances are a bit broad and cartoony). Just for educational purposes, off off Broadway (sometimes referred to as "downtown theatre" is a wonderful community of amazing artists who bring some of the best innovation to the stages of New York. Off Broadway has become just a Broadway lite showcase for established film and television actors.

So the original script makes this a lot more obvious, but the three parts of back to the future each represent a different phase of psychoanalysis, which zamecus was really into at the time. In the original script, it opened with Marty’s girlfriend, talking about family trauma being behind why he was too scared to send his audition tape and how her therapist says that family history was how to fix things. Doc is Marty’s psychiatrist. His dad his super ego. Biff his ID. In ep 1 he has to go back and strengthen his super ego to be able to not be controlled by his ID. (I’ll expand on this in the other comments for parts 1 & 2) Also best reaction channel. Thanks for making watching tv feel more communal during the pandemic

Back then goofy and campy was upbeat mood today everyone is depressed and down lot of fun parties everywhere everyday in the 80s

Skateboards were in California back then but few heard of them until the 70s

Great Reaction... Great Movie...

Sesame Street muppets "7 bat's, ah ah ah ahh"; I believe he was just called "The Count".

I was on a skateboard in the 1970s.

Great sense of humor, great tastes and my god you’re beautiful. Can’t wait to see what you think of the whole trilogy.

If you want other movies that were "pop culture" inspirations:- The Matrix (Red pill - Blue pill) Predator (get to the choppa!) The Terminator (I'll be back) The Terminator 2 (asta la vista baby)

What a delightful surprise to see this drop! Honestly thought you'd have already been exposed to it. Also surprised to see you have an appreciation for scotch whisky, also. We'll have to toast with some Macallan at some point. Maybe when you finish Community, since Jeff is an avid scotch enthusiast like me. Bonus Abi is good Abi. I like these surprise movies.

"C'mon George don't make us think you're a weenie when you're really a Polish...dog...sausage?" - Abi 2022

Great movie

The bulletproof vest was invented in the 1940s by the 80s most of the technology that you see now we had back then except that it was just less technologically evolved but we pretty much had the same things that we have now

Cobra Kai writers want to do a Back to the Future project some day

Oh my gosh Homeward Bound I just got the biggest goosebumps

Rick and Morty were based on the characters in BBT not the other way around

BTW, great reaction

There are some small changes in 1985 like the name of the mall.

80s rock band 🎸

Get ready for a ride Abi. I think you'll like this.

Michael J Fox was like the Tom Holland of the 80's only more famous.

That is not Einstein. Dogs don't live that long. But the Doc always had a pup with him
