I never even noticed that they used different actors 😂😂.

I always saw the versions of them played by different actors just as little hiccups in the timeline due to screwing around with it.

Also to add to the facts. Not did they only use Crispin's face mold, they also used recordings of him speaking from the first movie. Using either direct movie words or making adjustments to the voice for whatever words they needed but didn't have. That's how far they went.

You get your damn hands off my likeness

Claudia Wells is an Angel, literally. She was and still Gorgeous til this day, and for her to put her career on hold to take care of her Mommy/Manager is the most loving thing any child can do for a dying parent. Love her.

Why is Hollywood so brazenly scummy

As a fan of BTTF, I knew what this video was about before clicking on it.

At least the original Jennifer got to return in the bttf game

Not trying to say the info on this video is wrong, but Crispin Glover wasn't mad about getting less money. In an interview back in 2013-2014 he mentioned that it was because of a difference of opinion in the script and a fall out that caused him to not be in the second movie. The lawsuit was because they used his face mold without his permission. Producer Bob Gale lied about Crispin asking for more money which is not true in the new Blue Rays that came out. He still talks about it whenever interviewers bring it up clearing his name. He explains it here on this interview at the 2:29 minute mark: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndOletx5x5rNeHk.html

This franchise is literally my favorite when comes to film, like these are my favorite films of all time, and I just learned today that those 2 actors were replaced for the sequal, I literally never noticed.

As a multiverse fan thoerist it makes sense that the actress was changed something gonna change in the present if you play time travel

While I enjoyed Elizabeth Shoe in "Adventures in Babysitting", she seemed so strained in BTTF. As if this was her first time out.

From what I read, this led to new industry rules about using likenesses as well.

Crispin Glover is a WEIRD guy and I’d be more than happy to get paid $125,000/$300,000… but not if I knew I was being underpaid. He was right to turn it down and the fact THEY PUT HIS FACE ON ANOTHER PERSON, didn’t pay him for his likeness, absolutely sue them!

Claudia’s such an angel, honestly.

Lol I didn't even notice that they used different actors 😂🤣

It wasn't about the money. They used his face mold without his permission (which set precedent laws for deep fakes even before the tech was invented) . That's why in bttf 2 his character was inverted upside down saying "it was for his back" but in reality, they used Crispin's face but it didn't look right so they inverted the actor upside down to try and hide the flaws.

$300k today is $125k back then. That’s really depressing

When you watch a short and they talk so fast you give up

Crispin Glover is one of my favorite actors and is very underrated.

This is also a reason why I don’t think there will be any reboot anytime soon unfortunately

Crispin Glover didn't change the law with his lawsuit, but instead, he changed the contracts for actors going forward. Now, your likeness and previous footage is allowed to be used in future projects, whether or not you're part of it.

Okay, the reason why Glover sued was because they used stock footage of him from the first film without paying him any extra royalties. Weismann played George in 2015 and 1985 (where they used prosthetics to ‘age’ him and sunglasses and turning him upside down to further hide it) and in the 1955 scenes, his face was always away from the camera.

Was Jennifer really supposed to be a main character? I heard they weren't actually planning to make a second movie and the ending of the first movie with the "to be continued" was intended to be a joke, but fans took it seriously and expected a sequel, so begrudgingly, they made a second one and had to start it where the first one ended. They said they wouldn't have set the sequel up this way if a sequel had actually been planned because they wouldn't have taken Jennifer to the future then since she wasn't important to the story

This is a VERY reductive video on what actually happened behind the scenes. It wasn't a simple "different actor hired for the role" and much more of a personal vendetta between the Crispin Glover and Bob Gale.

Right now I'm suing a producer who doesn't want to pay me for my editing job on his pilot episode.

As a kid, I knew it was an entirely different actor during the scenes with old man George McFly hovering upside down in 2015. It was as clear as day. But in the 1955 scenes and even his very short appearance at the end of Part 3, I always thought that was Crispin Glover. As long as it’s from a distance or he’s wearing sunglasses with minimal to no dialogue, you couldn’t tell the difference.

Good for him

Claudia Wells has a store called Armani wells in studio City, Ca. She is such a nice person.

Love how they just drop Jennifer on the porch in the nightmare timeline 💀

More specifically, they used parts of his old face mold that he had cast for the first movie to basically put his face over the other actor.

Great Scott

Imagine if the estate of Bruce Lee sued Jackie Chan because his old manager encouraged him to get plastic surgery in order to look more like Bruce Lee.

Fun Fact: Crispin Glover was an absolutely awful actor to work with, which is why they offered him less for the second movie because they never wanted him there in the first place.

I just watched the 1st and 2nd movie yesterday and wondered why they didn’t use the same actress who played Jennifer in the 1st one. Thank you for coincidentally answering my question

I love hearing crisp and talk about that story but he'll go through it and tell you if you don't know who go through and tell you the whole story what happened how it is what was going on it's actually really intriguing story when you listen to him

That's bogus, pay the man fairly

I knew all of this. This has been my favorite movie my entire life

So Jerry from Rick and morty is based off of him?

I just love it how u can barely tell the difference with the actor change

My great Aunt's husband was killed in a car accident and she was left to raise her 2 sons who were both disabled, and when asked if she wanted to press charges her boys looked at her and said "pressing charges and a little money wont bring Daddy back." Just food for thought, Jesus loves you, thanks for reading

I saw these movies for the first time on TV when I was in the 8th grade and I never even knew of these recasts till this video

I love BTTF.

Considering how much of a difficult jerk he was to work with in the original it’s no shock that his screen time and pay would’ve been less than the easier actors with bigger parts.

You know I kind of like the part with the different pictures and Back to the Future 1 and 2 but you can see that the brightness is different and stuff like an evil dead 1 2 and 3 because you can see that the brightness is different just like the endings are different man you should watch Evil Dead 2

Using crispin’s face mold (without his permission)is equivalent to one of the big reason actors were on strike. It’s not too far off from getting replaced by ai especially without compensation. Even if it’s just for small roles.

I remember this, don't understand why they thought this was necessary since they already recast another character

Crispin Glover was a phoney. He wanted $1 Million for the role and the studio wouldn't pay it. So he refused the role, later claiming he was upset because the movie had "bad values" and favored money over true happiness. What a crock. If he was against the idea of being a money grubber he wouldn't have asked for such a high salary, or later sued to get more money.

Doc was the only one who was never young in the film even in the 50s he was still a old man

Man, this series did have a number of hiccups in production. Even the for first movie, a handfull if scenes were already filmed with Eric Stoltz, but halfway through they deemed his acting too "intense", and recasted Michael instead and refilmed everything.

And I totally root for crispin Gloverbtw they did him dirty

Actually, Jennifer wasn't in the 2nd move much because they didn't have an idea for her. When they originally did the ending of the first one they did it as a gag, not as a sequel set-up. The director said that if he knew that he would be doing a sequel he would not have Jennifer go to the DeLorean with Doc and Marty

Why wouldn’t they wanna pay him the same amount of money? Couldn’t they pay everyone else a little less? His character wasn’t any less or more important than others.

Crispin swears he appears in a tiny way in order to convince the audience. Unless it's maybe in a spliced piece of footage near the end, just before he puts young Loraine's jacket on in the background (after the dance/stage scenes) I can NOT find anywhere he appears.

They didn’t want him back because according to most reports he was a pain in the ass to deal with. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well I do hope for a future where I don't get sued. Sadly I have been sued before but fortunately it was a case where my insurance covered payment

That's being sued by the cast. That's being sued by one person.

I think him being dead in the alternate 1985 works perfectly with the dystopian timeline

I heard Elisabeth Shue won a Claudia Wells lookalike contest

God bless Crispin Glover! ❤

The studio did nothing wrong. The actor they had quit and they tried to their best to replace him without be to jarring to the audience. They weren’t stealing Glover’s face they were using the already established face George McFly had in the first movie.

Never noticed

Speaking of being sued - how do you monetize your vids despite using copyrighted background music?

Personally, just put it in the contract that you get paid by how much screen time you have. How is that unfair? You get 5 minutes of screen time so you're gonna get about $125k. You're in the move for about 1 hr and 35 mins, you get $300k

I knew something was different about her.& Crispin glover is a great man & should do more assassin movies❤❤❤

He did right by suing them. I always thought it was him acting in part 2 until I heard about this story.

It’s crazy how well he played the young and old version of himself lol

Crispin Glover looks like that guy who played young Bruce Wayne in Gotham TV series

Claudia didn't sue because they didn't use her likeness and illigally made a copy of her face with a face mold

I know there was a couple of weird stuff I seen but I tried not to pay no attention to it because I was so into all three back to the future movies. But I knew something wasn't right. And I'm keep hearing about this back to the future 4 and they never did it yet.

I’d like to note many other actors/ members on this set (as well as a few of his other projects) have spoken out about glover being a bit difficult to work with…

You mean Crispin Glover sued not it was sued by the cast 😂

This is by far the greatest actor that ever played a simp by far & he's gangsta ASF in this film!!!

Greatest of ALL time, I dont know about all that. Ive seen them all twice and they're okay.

Dude signed a contract and then regretted it. That’s it. Should never have a penny more than the amount he signed up for

Jeffery Weissman is an amazing guy!

So Crispin is actually the same person as he is in his movies, just like most other actors.

Wait till they hear about Eric Stoltz

Ya. That’s what happens when you rip off someone’s biography 🤷🏻

Well, George McFly was told to never come back in here 🙄

If Glover had to do just as much work. It's bogus to be offered less than half

Him suing set a new standard for Hollywood!! Where actors have to get paid for using their likeness

It’s my favorite movie of all time for me it’s the goat movie

Back to the courtroom.

This is common knowledge amongst the back to the future community

Only shocked that George mcfly was shot dead by lead bullet in 1973 March 15.

I dont wanna see this video ever again

I can’t ever understand a word you say but it’s funny 😂

You know how many actors and actresses this has happened to over the years body doubling an actress copying

1985 125,000 is 300,000 in 2024 how do this guy do math?? It wasnt actually in the 50s 😂😂

Wow i never knew that about the father

Hearing some these actoragetting paid more than me and they complain about it, id be happy to get that amount

They offered him less money because they did not want him to return because every other actor hated to work with him!

And he effectively killed his career

He was nobody at this point though. They didn't use prosthetics they just hung him upside down for bttf2. It's all on the extras on the blu ray

Maybe that actor wasn’t as well known as the other actors. I don’t know this for sure but I don’t think I remember him in anything else back then. I hope he feels stupid now for basically talking himself out of what I think is one of the most iconic movie series of my lifetime

Pretty rotten: He was a key character ..

Crispin glover demand same importance with Michael j fox but failed, so he resigned, that is why George mcfly is someone else,

Wasn't bad enough that his character almost lost his wife and life bcuz of his kid they also did that!? Jeeze he was done so dirty

How you going to sue them because the guy’s makeup is made to look like you? It’s not like you’re in the credits. The actor is credited for playing the character. That would be like if the actor for batman was replaced but they still used the same batsuit. What, you’re going to sue them because they got a new actor to play the character you left behind? That’s stupid.
