Great way to start a Sunday, thanks guys. A few fun things. 1. The Jaws movie is a direct reference to Jaws 4: The Revenge(1987), with the log line of: “Chief Brody's widow believes that her family is deliberately being targeted by another shark in search of revenge.” 2. The Nike shoes with power laces exist, Nike made them as a gag in 2015/2016. Link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUddwH8_Etk 3. While we as the audience were supposed to take this movie “seriously” when it came out, at this point it is more of a self-satire of time travel and how crazy it is. 4. So that trailer has nothing to do with anything modern. The second and third movies were filmed back-to-back, and that trailer was in the theaters at the end of the second movie. 5. The movies somewhat address this, but since they were released other science fiction has addressed it in a simpler way. What was happening to old Biff in 2015 after the car came back was most likely a ripple effect. He was the only one being affected right at that moment because he was at the center of the effect since Old Biff gave the book to Young Biff, so the radical changes that resulted in the alternate 1985 started with Biff at the center, and the ripple would get larger and larger as Young Biff advances through time normally, gambling and getting richer and more powerful, changing the universe along with him. If Marty and Doc had stayed in 2015 for too long, theoretically the ripple would have cascaded out to them and that entire universe would have morphed around them into whatever corrupt and insane version of 2015 Biff wanted. 6. Finally, as a rule for most time travel stuff, the most important thing to remember is that everything is relative in relation to you, the time traveler. No matter which direction you are going in time, backward or forward, you are still moving forward in time in your personal timeline, as you are having the experience of traveling in time. Therefore, they had to ensure that everything basically played out to the same result. There can be minor hiccups along the way, but Marty must go from 1955 to 1985 on his own, so he can then give Doc the car and Doc can go forward to 2015 at the end of the first movie, and off we go to this movie.

Did anyone notice that one of the young boys trying to work the arcade game in the Cafe 80's is Elijah Wood?

To answer your question at the start, no, I don’t normally watch the YouTube edit when it goes live if I have watched the full length watch along. I will try to remember to give them a watch (or at least hit play when doing something else) in the hope that it helps out your channel

RE: All the time travelling. Don't ask questions that get the viewer thinking.

It's interesting watching you guys react to this film, because it occured to me that there are references in this movie that you'd only get if you were watching it in the 1980's. I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out, and remember the reference in the cafe 80's with the heads that are glitching. That's a reference to a little known 80's scifi show called "Max Headroom". And when Marty is confronted by a "Max Headroom" version of Ronald Reagan, his order is interrupted by the leader of the time of the Iatola, in Iran. That was a reference to the geo political turmoil of the region during Reagan's era in the White House in the USA. All of these references would be COMPLETELY lost in 2021 to anyone who didn't grow up during the era or studied the era in detail. I love you two and I'm so glad to see you watch this! Please keep going and enjoy the finale to the Back to the Future trilogy!! :)

Jennifer’s presence seems unnecessary, but she’s what allowed Future Biff his opportunity. If Doc and Marty hadn’t had to go chasing after her, they would have just time traveled out and that would have been that. So, she’s a plot device more than a character here. The 2015 scenes were never meant to be serious. In the commentary Zemekis says he knew any predictions he made would be wrong so he just didn’t bother. He seems to have gone with the “what do we imagine the future to be like” and that’s what he made. The whole thing is meant to be over the top, the wide-open mouth acting, as you put it, the ridiculous fashion styles (though parts of that are turned out to be more accurate than I like to think), the needlessly complicated tech gadgets, like fingerprint scans replacing doorknobs. Basically, 2015 was running completely on Rule of Cool. The one prediction he did make is completely forgivable, the news headline that mentions Queen Diana, because no one could have predicted a) the divorce b) her death or c) the fact that going on seven years after 2015, Elizabeth still hasn’t stepped down, so she wouldn’t be queen anyway.

Zemeckis and Gale never intented for BTTF to have a sequel. The 'cliffhanger' ending to the first movie was done as a joke. Zemeckis said if he thought there would be a sequel he would never have put Jennifer in that scene and had difficulty trying to write her 'out' of the story. Also Crispin Glover who plays George didn't return for the sequels as there was a falling out between him and the studio which explains why he was written out of the wealthy Biff 1985 timeline and also why he's upside down in 2015 (so you don't recognise it's a different actor). All scenes in the movie of Crispin Glover were taken from the first BTTF and he managed to sue the studio for using his likeness without permission.
