BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985) - FIRST TIME WATCHING - MOVIE REACTION!! (Part 1) 

This movie has extreme continuity so there are many details that change while he is time traveling, ads, dialogues, also many references, etc. The script is phenomenal.

FYI: The judge who told Marty's band: "You're just to darn loud!" is Huey Lewis (The power of love!) himself in a cameo!!

I felt so old when you called the power of love a golden oldie.

Basically, the genesis of this film was writer Bob Gale was visiting his parents and going through some stuff in the attic. He found his father's high school yearbook and learned that his father had been class president. Gale never really liked the his own class president when he was in school and began to wonder, if he had gone to high school at the same time as his parents, would they have been friends? Thus he got the idea of a teenager going to school with his parents. Going to the 50's, really just came down to math, with Gale figuring that the parents would be in high school 30 years earlier.

The machine you mention in the opening is called a Rube Goldberg machine.

Part two goes up tomorrow! :)

"Maybe she should have chased someone else" is superb unintentional foreshadowing

4:14 You cut it out but one of the judges said he was too loud. That was Huey Lewis who wrote and sings "The Power of Love".

Back to the future is one of the best trilogies ever

Ohhh my favorite movie trilogy after the original Star Wars trilogy! And girl you must be psychic or something 😳 Fun fact: the guy who told Marty that his music was too loud was actually played by Huey Lewis, the one who sang "The Power of Love". He said that a teacher once told him his music was too loud when he was a kid too, so he wanted to play that role.

Interesting thing about the casting. Michael J. Fox was always their first choice to play Marty but he was on a popular show at the time called "Family Ties" and the people running the show wouldn't let him have time off, so they went with another actor named Eric Stoltz. After a few weeks, it became clear that Stoltz just wasn't working out. He wasn't a bad actor, but he was giving a DRAMATIC performance in a movie that's supposed to be a comedy. So they made the tough choice to let him go and bed the "Family Ties" producer to let Michael do the movie. The compromise was basically "Family Ties comes first", so Michael would work on the show by day and the movie at night (which is why so much of it is set at night or indoors). The Eric Stoltz/Michael J. Fox debacle affected some of the other actors too. An actor named JJ Cohen was supposed to play Biff, but he didn't look physically imposing next to Stoltz (who is taller than Michael), so they cast a taller actor (Tom Wilson) and Cohen was instead cast as one of Biff's gang (he's the one who makes fun of Marty's "life preserver" jacket). Also Melora Hardin (who later played Jan on "The Office") was supposed to play Jennifer, but after Stoltz was replaced with the shorter Michael, they decided she was too tall next to him, so Claudia Wells was cast instead.

This reaction was VERY different from many I've seen. A nice "fresh" take and great choice of clips. Great job.

You have a great laugh.

Lorraine's infatuation is to be expected. Being his mother, she'd no doubt feel an almost immediate connection to Marty. Being 17, she could easily mistake that for "love at first sight."

Another fun trivia bit... the guy in the gym who tells Marty that their band is too loud is played by Huey Lewis and “The Power Of Love” that the band was playing was written by him. 👍🏻

The Pinheads are actually The News, and Huey Lewis is the second judge from the left who thinks they are too darn loud.

2:40 In the UK, it would be a "Heath Robinson contraption", across the Pond they use "Rube Goldberg machine".

omg I loved your figuring where the plot's going in this! this was a lot of fun, looking forwards to part 2!!!! :D

4:09 the guy 2nd from left was Hewis Lewis, singer of power of love, himself :)

“Too darn Loud.” Said by Huey Lewis about his own song

Old man Peabody’s son’s name is “Sherman” in homage to the Sherman and Peabody sketches on the Rocky and Bullwinkle shows

The chain reaction thing you were thinking of is a rube goldberg machine

Way to groove to Huey Lewis, Marijchu!!! Great reaction to a fun movie!

Baby Yoda was only 15 when this movie came out. 😉

Great choice, Mari. BTTF is the ultimate in all-round entertainment. Baby Yoda seemed to thrill to it too. Can you imagine a remake that takes us from 2020 to 1990?

You should watch Gremlins. Gizmo is proto Baby Yoda and you can pass it off as a Christmas movie, since it takes place during Christmas.

So far this is my Fav Marijchu reaction... As a technical support specialist, I have on occasion told people that their issue is their flux capacitor. Some folk get it, some folk accept it as techno-babble. Lol

Great writing, great acting, PHENOMENAL soundtrack... fantastic choice, Mary!

3:13 The Power of Love, and any song in general, with just the bass sounds so relaxing

There was another big hit back in the day called "The Power of Love" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, IIRC. A Hope Chest or Glory Box was where mothers put in home making items like cutlery sets and linens for their daughter for when they got married and moved into their own homes. It was usually accumulated over years. This was before cheap mass production of these items.

I want to send this to my old pal Lea who plated Marty's mom in this if that's okay. I think she'll love it.

I remember my older brother taking me to the theater to see this when I was 8.

Congrats on choosing the Back to the Future Trilogy. It's an excellent series of movies.

Haha ... we're sending you "Back To The Future!"

Such an all time great trilogy! Your reactions are hilarious & fun 😃 Can't wait for Part 2!

You: *rocking out to inaudible The Power of Love* Me: *sad RU-vid copyright strike avoidance noises*

I can't wait for the premiere of your reaction to this CLASSIC

This film is perfect. Everything fits together seamlessly.

A little movie factoid. The guy who disqualified Marty at the guitar audition is Huey Lewis, an 80's rocker. When you hear the song "The power of love" during the movie, that's him singing.

11:25 Wow! Bonus points for really paying attention to the story. Nice work!

"i hope you didn't just turn Einstein into a piece of meat" Me: gets food delivery ad seconds after

having gone to the film set across the street where they were setting up for the shoot in the mall parking lot. I was in high school. I feel old after the reaction.

LOVE the music at the end, reminds me of The Simpsons anytime a tv network unexpectedly goes off the air.

i want the 80's back so bad!

Classic moive! LOLLED many times on your edits. 👍

Nothing makes you feel older than a song you listened to in your 20s being described as a “golden oldie”

Just discovered channel but ur channel is golden commentary, I was sad ur reaction was short but then I seen part 2 to this movie than instantly got happy,keep up the great content!

Absolutely love this trilogy. Great choice. I enjoy how everything in the beginning seems random and arbitrary but is actually very important later.

7:46 Perfectly timed scream! 🤣

This movie was one of the greatest movie I have ever seen on video. I was only 8 years old when I first saw this movie.

True Story: This movie was a HUGE hit when it came out in 1985 and they screened it for President Reagan. When Marty is trying to convince Doc Brown that he's from the future and tells him the president in 1985 is Ronald Reagan. Doc Brown snorts "RONALD REAGAN, the ACTOR ? Who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis?" President Reagan laughed so hard at that exchange he asked for the film to be rewound so he could watch the scene again.

The clocks in the beginning indicated that the movies theme is “time”

The guy who said they were too darn loud was Huey Lewis who wrote and Sang the song 🤣

The "save the clocktower" lady sadly passed away this very week, actually.

This is a good movie and this is a good reaction!

Loving the energy!

This was my first movie watched from a VHS cassette in 1986. 😁

This really is one of the greatest movies ever.

The “Save The Clock Tower” actress passed away last week.

"The Power of Love" was written for this movie.

Looking forward to your reaction to the rest of this movie, as well as the other two movies.

Thanks for this video upload👏👏👏👏

Nice reaction….this totally depends on, like every movie from history…suspension of disbelief. Don’t ask, just watch. Every comic, every book, every ghost story around a campfire(that’s just about the s’mores) is a trip. Enjoy the ride.

3:10 rewatch the clip of Marty putting the spare key back under the mat...you can clearly see he has a watch... Marty has no grounds to blame the docs clocks being wrong making him late...especially with the amount of time he was there...he’d have already own he was ate before starting from a single glance...

... "70 years later and I don't have two televisions"... I have 7. Also, a mother of 4. 😂😂😂

hello mari you should watch pt 2 and 3 of this movie as well as rush hour 1-3

1:14 helping comment to improve youtube algorithm recommendations

Dance moves at the start were awesome!!

You know "Mister Sandman..." Fan points are off the charts! Alas, I can only "like" once.

It's so sweet, you let Baby Yoda watch this! 😃😃😃

9:02 the chances of an AK jamming are so low, Marty is lucky he is the main character. That gun almost never jams.

The type of machine which automates a process from one end of a room to another in a comical way is called a Rube Goldberg device. FYI/

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (1984).. overlooked 80s classic.. cult movie. Amazing cast... and it did the Flux Capacitor first (the Oscillation Overthruster).. looked sorta the same but it made the car travel through dimensions.

There's a theory that George, being a huge sci-fi fan, eventually figured out who Marty really was

Just subbed. Love your reactions

one of the most perfect films made

If you think about it. Any blip in time would cause so many things to change. Your existence in a time you’re not supposed to be would cause people to look at you when they might have looked at something else making them want to make a different decision even if it’s a small one. Conception for him by his parents would have been slightly off and they would have had completely different kids cuz everything they did would have had different timing.

2:40 A Rube Goldberg machine. Goldberg original made them as comic strip illustrations.

Hi! German here. I adore your Flemish accent.

First ten seconds Me: *OMG IT'S THE SAME BABY YODA FROM THE SHARK PUPPET VIDEO I JUST WATCHED*

Baby Yoda is just a shaved gremlin ;)

I'm 55 and was 20 when this film was released. Marty was close enough to my age that I could easily identify with him. (These days, I identify more with Doc Brown. I'm not sure what that says about me ...) A couple of cultural things: In 1985, it was the tail end of when a girl asking a guy to a dance meant that she was a total slut. I don't think a woman has ever asked me out since I started dating at age 15. Certainly a 55-year-old woman could ask me out with no repercussions, but they were trained from a young age that nice girls just didn't do that. Lorraine chasing Marty was scandalous in 1955. Her roundabout way of asking Marty to invite her to the dance was a desperate, Hail Mary attempt to get a date with some shred of her reputation intact. I was really thrilled to see that you knew what a Hope Chest was. I grew up as the women's rights movement went into full swing, and Hope Chests vanished. I knew one girl in High School with a Hope Chest. However, she was unusual because she made no bones about the fact that her future plans were to get married and become a homemaker and mother. I think my sister (four years younger than me) may have had a Hope Chest very briefly in the early 1970s before they completely disappeared. Great reactions, subbed, liked, and binge-ing them all. A suggestion: I'm subbed to a lot of reactors, and I find that there are some films and TV shows no one is reacting to. I know your reactions are governed by your Patrons, but if things get slow, how about these? _Forbidden Planet_ , _This Island Earth_ , _The Day the Earth Stood Still_ (the good version starring Michael Rennie), any Universal horror movie of the 1930s ( _Frankenstein_ , _Dracula_ , _The Mumy_ , _Dr. Jeckll and Mr. Hyde_ , _The Wolf Man_ ). For kicks, you might try _Plan 9 From Outer Space_ directed by schlockmaster Ed Wood . It's the original "so bad it's good" movie. You can follow that up with _Ed Wood_ , a film by Tim Burton that chronicles Ed Wood's life in and around the making of _Plan 9_ . Then there's 1968's _Planet of the Apes_ and its four sequels. And of course there's _2001: A Space Odyssey_ . From the 1970s, there's _Logan's Run_ , _Silent Running_ , and _The Andromeda Strain_ . Other classic SF films I'd love to see your reaction to: _Superman_ (1978), _Superman II_ (watch the Director's Edition of both of those), and _Batman_ (1989). I'm also not seeing a lot of classic TV shows. Number One on my list would be _Star Trek: The Original Series_ . You might also have a look at _Space: 1999_ . All of _Space: 1999_ is available free on RU-vid. Just some suggestions. You're a lovely person to watch and consistently put a smile on this old fan's face. 😇

Great reaction. Very funny. LOL literally

Your Biff impression 😂

Rube Goldberg machine. It uses many more parts and steps than necessary to do a simple task

Happy 😃 35th anniversary, back to the future.

Great chanel you're so adorable reacting to the movie, very enjoyable, good job 🙂👍

Best react channel :)

4:41 Clockblock 😂

3:00 She is making me feel old calling Power of Love a "golden oldy"

I like the way you pronounce Einstein...ie, correctly. Okay I don't pronounce him that way as a Brit, but it's nice to hear.

My favorite back to the future was the second one.

Greetings from Germany ! This video got me to subscribe to Your channel ! 👍

3:12 You were so psyched by the music that you completely missed the plutonium under the bed! 😝

This is getting pretty heavy Mary!

I think you are thinking about a Rube Goldberg Machine.

Less talk, more watching. Brevity is the sour of wit!

My fave movie!!

RHUB GOLDBERG in fact PURDUE UNIVERSITY has a RHUB GOLDBERG competition in the engineering department every year
