I was really hoping to watch this with my son since we both love the movies. Not only is a lot of the content weak, it is highly frustrating to hear grown adult men cursing like immature junior high boys. It never raises the quality of a show but lowers it significantly, which is not something this episode can afford based on its content. There are many great analysis videos of BTTF done by adults. I'll keep moving on.

Yes, Doc Brown is not wrong to say "jiggawatts". Well, there is a mistake in the dialogue, but it's not that. The prefix "giga-" is Greek and it shares the same root as the word "gigantic" (in fact, "gigantic" is really the "giga-" prefix and the "-tic" suffix, with an "n" thrown in the middle to make pronunciation easier). Now, say "gigantic". Say it and stop before the "n". "j-eye-gah". And, yup, that's how you should really say "giga-". Christopher Lloyd isn't quite getting it right. He gets the "soft G" right, but it's also a "long I" as well. But, yup, the scriptwriters did their research, because if you were a scientist from the 1950s, then you would only know the correct Greek pronunciation. The modern (wrong) "hard G" pronunciation hadn't been coined yet. It's absolutely right that Doc Brown would say "j-eye-gah-watts". He says "jiggawatts" instead, but it's close enough. No, the real mistake is he says "one point twenty one". But every mathematician / scientist worth their salt - and, come on, the inventor of time travel qualifies - knows that there is no "twenty" on that side of the decimal point. Indeed, "point two" is a fifth, not "twenty". I attribute this to Christopher Lloyd being an actor and that it was written "1.21" in the script, so not being mathematical, he read it as "one point twenty one", but he should have read it as "one point two one". So everyone has a go at "jiggawatts", even though the "soft G" is actually correct and historically accurate for a 1950s scientist, but the real mistake is "one point twenty one". The correct dialogue should be "one point two one j-eye-gah-watts!!". Which I think actually has a better rhythm to it.

His first attempt was to (meekly) punch with his right but Biff grabbed that hand, leaving George with only the left for his second punch. He didn't have much of a choice, the left hand punch only succeeded because he worked up enough courage to put some force into it and because Biff was blindsided by his unexpected resolve.

One of the BTTF fan theories I've heard is the reason the 2015 of that timeline is more advanced than ours with flying cars and hoverboards, etc is that in thier timeline Chernobyl never happens so more research goes into nuclear power until they eventually get fusion (remember the Mr. Fusion) so in the messing with the timeline to correct the President Biff 1985 Doc inadvertently causes Chernobyl and pretty much puts a halt on nuclear power developments.

Possibly, though the idea of having a tiny fusion reactor in homes even in the 2200s may be a stretch. The necessary strength of such a containment vessel to hold a fusion reaction would mean the future is able to almost break the laws of physics as we know them, or it's just a marketing gimmick and doesn't actually use fusion power. Though, using a minitarized reactor to power the flight boosters of the car would make some sense.

I haven't seen the whole thing, but it seemed to imply he went further into the future and saw that a massive ecological disaster occurs in the 2040s due to the tech being in rampant use as seen in 2015. i guess if everyone has their personal fusion reactor in their home, I could see the potential issues.

I like to believe that it was Marty himself, after he had to give up his music and went to work at CusCo, he did something at that job that led to the creation of flying cars and hoverboard technology. When Marty DOESN'T get into the crash racing Needles and doesn't give up his music, he doesn't go to work at CusCo so whatever he might have doesn't happen. Sort of the opposite of the Bill and Ted future where their music leads to a high-tech utopia, but Marty's music causes technology to be less advanced.

I never thought the Mayor ORIGINALLY got the idea from Marty. Put it this way. Some things are destined/fated to happen whether you go back in time and try to alter it or not. The day Marty showed up, saw his teen father and biff, and talked to the mayor. Maybe something else happened in the original timeline that day that gave the guy the idea to run for mayor in the future but because Marty was there, he became the influence that was always going to be there anyway.

The thing about the head disappearing is that when a change in the timeline occurs it takes time in the era the change was made for a wave of corrections to make it's way back from the end of time to the point where it was changed. So as the wave goes back in time it takes out the older brother, then the second child, then finally gets to Marty. But then if Marty gets erased nothing in the movie happens and we have a major paradox. When they travel in time to another point they fly over the wave and so are unaffected by it.

Great analysis, guys! A few things to comment on... What was a 17-year-old doing hanging out with an older guy? In other words, why would they be friends? The circumstances on how they met, and became friends, was told in one of the BACK TO THE FUTURE comic books by IDW. The movies have limited time that cannot cover absolutely everything, and if you consider the comic books (and in some cases, prose novels & video games) canon, they provide some good supplementary info. Also, asking that question dates you guys to the past three decades. Prior to more recent decades, intergenerational friendships were not uncommon. The type of age segregation we see today, so strongly culturally enforced, i.e., the contention that people from different generations cannot possibly have enough in common to garner friendships, that it's "creepy" and must denote something sinister, etc., etc., is a more recent idea. That was not the case in the past and such friendships were not so negatively hyper-scrutinized. Also, not to nitpick, but that pic of the birds you referred to as budgies was actually parakeets 😛

BttF is still one of my all-time favorite movies and trilogies, despite some of the problems with logic if you examine it closely. The biggest question, for me, is, what was Doc's plan for fixing Marty's kids in the future? They go into the future to fix an issue that hasn't happened yet, fix it and then go back 1985 before it has even occurred...and then 2015 rolls around and...what? They do it again? On its face it makes no sense, but of course the reason they did this is simple: BttF 1 had ended on this funny note with no plan at that time to make more movies and since they had done that they had to move forward with it. Another thing that's kind of interesting is Doc's feelings about gambling. In part 2, he tells Marty "I didn't invent a time machine for gambling! I invented it to travel through time!". Yet, if you watch Doc near the beginning of the first movie he explicitly tells Marty that he's going to get the next 25 World Series scores. And Doc has the wrong way of thinking for how to deal with Clara Clayton. Marty suggest that they bring her along with them (in part 3) and Doc doesn't think this is a good idea, but the truth is *they MUST bring her with them!* Since she is not supposed to be there in 1885 (and neither is Doc!) they need to get her out of that timeline as quickly as possible. Along this line, when Doc writes to Marty in the 1955 Western Union letter and tells him not to come get him, that again is the opposite of what Doc should have said! Doc being in a timeline he wasn't supposed to be in, for 100 years? He should have told Marty to have 1955 Doc set the time to the day he arrived and get him the heck out of there!

Nobody watching a movie in 1985 was considering CGI as a special effect alternative to makeup effects. Computer animation in 1985 was more of an animation novelty that was still in its infancy.

the reason why most time travel movies go back 30 years is because it's more relatable to the viewer. if you go back further you lose the audience because everything becomes drastically different and no generation watching will show interest. Doc spent his whole life failing at inventions. his time machine was the first one that actually worked. so much so that he was betting his life on it. if you notice when he does the test with his dog he stands in the path of the time machine. if it failed it would have killed both him and marty. it was never explained in the movie but it was explained off camera that Marty met doc because on a dare from Needles Duglas Marty broke into the doc's lab to steal something and Doc caught him. Doc promised not to turn him in if Marty agreed to assist him with experiments and run arends for him he didn't have time to do himself. Strickland told Marty Doc was bad news because Doc brown gained a reputation for causing trouble with his experiments and lost his entire family fortune for his crazy stunts. everyone viewed doc as a failure and someone that caused trouble. The clocks in Docs house are 25 minutes slow because he was testing the idea of time relying on someone to be around to keep in sync. that's why he wasn't back at his house for a long time. the case of nuclear material was there because they actually gave him 2 cases to build an atomic bomb but doc only took 1 with him to test the time machine. you see that each case held 12 vials and 24 was stolen by the Libians. He planned to use 1 case to test and run trials before travelling back himself in time. a lot can happen in 30 years and if you have been working on a project for that long it can be hard to remember when you exactly began it. he suddenly remembered after marty questioned him about how it worked and he focused by telling Marty about the Flux Capacitor. a lot of people think the reason why Lorane drinks is because Biff DID SA her and she was traumatized by it to the point that she became an alcoholic. Marty's interference stopped it by sending George to the car. George's character is suppose to be the nerd of the 50's and he fit that stereotype perfectly. you have to realize in the 50's the entertainment at the time romanticized strong men who protect women and Lorane wanted a dream guy that was tough and could fight for her. that's why she fell for Marty at first because he always helped her standing up to Biff even though he never really faced Biff in an actual fight. that's why she shifted to George after George laid him out in 1 punch. Doc kept failing because it was the doc brown of 1955. remember in that time he failed at doing everything. he didn't have a single thing that worked because his knowledge at the time was based on theories and technology that didn't yet exist. he never experimented with those types of things and was new to it all. even his theory of time interference was wrong. Uncle Joey was always going to be in jail because Joey WANTED to be in jail. Just like George and Lorane was always to be together even if it wasn't for love at first. Goldie Wilson the first time became mayor after he was fired from Coruthers malt shop taking odd jobs and working his way up to being Mayor he didn't get the idea for it until after Rett Wilson disgraced his office and was fired. When Marty suggested it to him it did change history but only in the sense that Goldie didn't go through the same number of jobs as he stayed and the malt shop longer with the idea of becoming Mayor. the photo was showing how time was being altered. in this film franchise time runs at the same pace as the people native to it. changes in the past cause the future to change and it runs in ripples. doc even calls it the ripple effect. spreading from the past and eventually hitting the future. since Dave was the first born it was erasing him first, then his sister, and last Marty. it's also the reason why Marty still had memories of the alternate time line when he returned it had not been enough time for the ripple to effect him. by part 3 however it had because you heard him say to his parents "thank god you're all back to normal" meaning as the ripple travelled along his native time line he at some point became the Marty that grew up in the changed timeline. the skateboards actually were invented by surfers in the 1940's and already existed. Marty's little stunt actually was the idea to make it into a kids toy which didn't happen until the late 1960's. again they are saying he made it happen earlier than it should have. he didn't cause it.

One of the jokes that I believe was intended but is now kind of missed completely is that the Time Machine is a Delorean. We wouldn’t have known this as kids but the basic reputation of the delorean when this movie came out was in and of itself a joke. The whole premise and history of the making of this car is hilarious, down to it being just an absolutely awful car. The only thing the car had right was its design. It was synonymous with lofty goals but criminally flawed. To me the joke should have been obvious from an adults perspective of the time. Well this won’t end well!! But alas the movie saved the reputation of the delorean and is the only reason it’s now seen as an iconic car.

This is one of those "only in the movies" kind of things that you have to just roll with. It is a necessary plot device to convey the stakes and sense of urgency of what's happening to the audience. They could have simply talked about it, but having a visual reference more easily drives the point home. I don't have a problem with it, even though it raises logical questions.

12:28 People who played PC games in the 90s probably also remember Tom Wilson as Todd "Maniac" Marshall in Wing Commander 3, 4 and 5. He also voiced the character in the Wing Commander cartoon series. He's awesome in that role too, and there's some outtakes from Wing Commander 3 you can find that's mostly just Tom Wilson being hilarious.

To be fair, the movie never outright states that Marty is responsible for either Goldie Wilson becoming mayor or for inventing skateboards. For mayor Wilson, I always felt like it was the first small scale example of the dangers of time travel. Marty opens his big mouth and reveals that Goldie is going to be mayor. We know that he was going to be mayor anyway, it is possible that he became mayor a bit sooner after Marty’s reveal. The skateboard thing, obviously he never invented the skateboard or anything. I felt like that was a playful way of taking the fish out of water trope and turning on its head of that. Like instead of Marty being confused and asking all these questions in the strange environment, he’s the one having everybody else in their natural environment question him, and his crazy modern alien ways. as far as we can see, Marty was not directly initially responsible for the creation of skateboards in general. Somehow it seems that his influence actually never affected the creation of the skateboard or the timeline in that sense at all weirdly enough. which I guess makes sense, it was what a couple of dozen people in this one random moment in 1955 that saw some kid modify a scooter and skate down the street. So I guess it’s plausible enough if you assume that nobody that had witnessed the event was inspired to create the skateboard.

It is iconic, and it is rare for all the film squeals to be just as great. Michal J Fox has done a lot of things, and yet, we know him as Marty Mcfly only. Strange how it works. But you know, nobody believed in this, it went through a ton of rejections to get somewhere and it still stands the test of time. It does well. There is a real place dedicated to this as well. I wonder if we ever get prequels, or sequels after this...but mind you that is almost like swearing, since it will be mucked up somehow

Very few people mention the scene where Marty tears the top off of a 50s orange crate scooter and it turns into a skateboard. Those type of scooters didn't have anything like the type of wheels or trucks that a skateboard needs to function. The wheels were usually made of metal, and wouldn't go very fast, and you couldn't steer by shifting your weight on it. Second, you wouldn't make sparks by scraping a piece of wood on the pavement.

The second movie has no acquaintanceship with logical consistency at all. Jennifer ceases to exist, and once someone steals your time machine in a changeable timeline, it's game over. It isn't coming back, also you'd cease to exist immediately. I love the second movie. 😀

@@jackdelane I totally agree with you. The ripple effect moves into the future, and would've erased the existence of Marty's older siblings who were born a longer time ago first, so them vanishing from the photo in the order that they did makes total sense. Also, the ripple effect hadn't arrived in 2015 yet when old Biff got out of the time machine and Doc and Marty got in it so that's why the neighborhood still looked the same, and Biff hadn't disappeared yet. Old Biff in the deleted scene was actually shown vanishing right after Doc and Marty took off from the ground in the DeLorean. And also, Biff vanished before the 2015 neighborhood changed because it was said that Biff died one year later from the alt. 1985 in 1986, so the ripple effect had only reached the mid 80s at the time Biff vanished. The ripple effect didn't reach 2015 until a little bit later so that neighborhood and 2015 as a whole didn't change until after Doc and Marty had already got to 88mph and vanished, so we were never shown the 2015 of the rich Biff future. Of course by the time Doc and Marty got to 1985, the ripple effect had passed that time already so they saw the alt. 1985 as soon as they got there

You missed the point on the clock tower quite spectacularly. Doc didn't cause it to get hit by lightning. They were there preciously because they knew it was going to get hit. The equipment he installed was to direct the electricity to the DeLorean, not to attract the lightning in the first place. The actual plot hole here is that at best the picture Marty had would tell them to the minute when it was hit. In what universe has anything ever been hit by lightning for a full minute? A lightning strike lasts about a microsecond. Doc even said they would have to know to "the precise moment."

About the plotholes, I understand your point at 21:26 about "films show us things because they want us to think something" and it is true and very important. So often you hear fans going "Ohh but it's explained in a cut scene" or "ooh but if you read the original book" or "no see you can infer that there really were these other things going on in the background that explain it" no. The text of the story tells us something, and if that something is unsatisfatroy it's a plothole. A plothole is still a plothole even if there are ways to patch it up! I'm with you on that! That said, no I don't think the Goldie Wilson thing is a plothole, because I don't think they were ever implying a predestination loop, instead they were simply showing the realistic reaction of the character upon hearing about his future. Think about this: how would YOU have written the scene to avoid that supposed predestination? You can't. When Goldie hears "he's going to me mayor" his reaction MUST be "that's a great idea!" if you had him go "No way." that'd feel like Marty interfered and changed his future; if you make it so that he clearly already had the idea to be mayor then the whole scene crumbles down. It simply was a natural reaction. Same goes with the skateboard kid. Similarly the clock tower. I NEVER got the impression that they implied that Doc caused it, in fact the whole reason he had to be there is that he needed to know in advance where the lightning would strike. If he could simply summon lightnings with his rod there'd be no reason to know where it was going to strike. Doc didn't cause the lightning he just needed to channel its electricity. I think a much stronger point could instead be made about the Chuck Berry scene or the one where Lorainne saying that Marty is a good name. Those DO read like predestinations, and while logically they are not, because we know the timeline changes with no predestination, they come off as weird writing choices in light of this fact. Also when you think about it George and Lorainne must have forgotten about the name by the time they had a son because they DIDN'T name their firstborn Marty! (...Okay that had me thinking, imagine if Marty went back to 1985 and found he and his brother swapped names, that would have been freaky!)

Romancing the Stone was the movie Robert Zemeckis made to prove to the studios that he could stand alone as director. Once that was successful he was allowed to make Back to the Future. Michael J.

My theory on ‘having it both ways’ is that although it is THIS Marty’s first time time traveling, it’s not the first time the loop has gone through. We see another Marty going back at the end of the movie, a Marty who grew up in a world where the mall was ALWAYS called Lone Pine, and Wilson made the decision to run in 1955. Then when he goes back, that Marty may or may not hit that tree, or talk to Wilson, or do any other of little things that will tweak it for the Marty HE will see at the end of HIS journey. But as long as the little changes don’t prevent the core causal loop from occurring, it will just keep cycling.
