Great reaction Elena. Back to the Future 2 is my personal favorite out of the trilogy. Mainly because it was first Back to the future I saw as a kid. I love how you didn't see the twist with the almanac and Doc getting sent back to the past. I too love the score to the back to the future trilogy. Can't wait for you to see the conclusion on part 3. It really does feel like a completed trilogy. Loved your reaction as always can't wait for more. Keep up the GREAT WORK.👍👍❤❤😊😊
Hi Elena, great to see you back with the second back to the Future film!😊 You have to watch the third film to get the entire Back to the Future experience. They are ALL very interconnected.😉 Did you notice they recast Marty's girlfriend Jennifer and reshot the beginning of the film with the new actress? The flying cars in 2015 were a joke. They did know that would not happen by then. Griff can become taller because he has a bionic hip implant. The actor that played George in the last film was not in this one. Old upside down George is another actor in makeup to look like him. The scenes of him from 1955 are outtakes from the first film, and they used a double when not showing his face. You did notice something wrong with Jennifer.😉 You have a lovely singing voice, Elena!🎶🎤❤ Great reactions to your second film in this great trilogy!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
Part 3 is definitely worth watching. You might wish to stop at "To be Concluded" to avoid spoilers for the third movie. 2:10 Good catch with Doc Brown's look there. "... but I can't tell you." 4:00 We see how the plot was driven by the first film's ending, which was intended as a joke. 15:30 In this and the third movie, Elizabeth Shue played Jennifer instead of Claudia Wells. Wells had to take care of her ill mom. Although given Jennifer's role in the sequels, the producers might have been able to work Wells in even as she cared for her mom. 16:00 The father's response was exactly right. 25:10 "Oh la la" or "Ooh la la" was a "French" magazine.
"Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here!" 🌳😂 The actor who played George McFly in the 1st one was played by another actor in the 2nd and 3rd. The actor Crispen Glover sued the studio for using his likeness, they actually used his life-cast and placed in on another actor's face to duplicate his likeness. Because of Back To The Future Part II, and Crispen Glover's lawsuit, we now have modern likeness rights! Fun fact. Check out Part III for sure!
If you think about it, with this whole mess, they inadvertently predicted the whole AI mess, which led to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Kind of ironic, really!
I love the use of VistaGlide in this film (and in the sequel), which allowed two or more characters who were played by the same actor to be able to be visible on-screen at the same time *and* still have sweeping, moving camera shots and not be able to see joins connecting the different parts of footage. It's incredible when you think that, once Lorraine has hydrated the pizza and placed it on the dinner table, the camera zooms out and we are treated to a view containing Marty Jr, Marlene and the middle-aged Marty, all three of whom are played by Michael J. Fox, so all three of those elements would have had to have had all those bits filmed separately before they were all joined together in post-production. This is particularly impressive when you consider that this was achieved in 1989. That having been said, at the Enchantment Under The Sea dance, in which we see the Marty from the first film performing _Johnny B. Goode_ on stage at the same time as the Marty from *this* film on the overhead ladder it is very likely that that was instead done using an optical/blue-screen effect (nowadays they would use green-screen but back then it tended to be a blue background for this kind of effect). There seem to be the tell-tale matte lines around the edges of the on-stage Marty as well as his slightly washed-out colour scheme.
15:32 Jennifer looks different because Claudia Wells, who played her in the original film, had to withdraw to look after her mum, who at the time was ill with cancer. Elisabeth Shue replaced Wells.
1. It's not often sequels hold up to the original, but this does. Thank you 1980s. 2.This one is the best of the bunch. The next one is inventive but I'm not really into the story. That said, it is the perfect wrap. 3. The stunt woman that flew into the glass window partially missed and injured her arm. 4. Michael J. Fox also played Marty's daughter. 5. Sammy Hagar, "I can't drive 55"😎 6. Good thing Biff shoots like a Star Wars Stormtrooper🤣 7. The tunnel at the end is the same one they used for Tune Town in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
Here's another bit of foreshadowing: when Doc arrives to pick up Marty after foiling Griff's gang's scheme to goad Marty Jr into committing that robbery you can see that Doc is wearing a white shirt that depicts cacti, lariats and even the odd cowboy here and there. This, as you probably guessed in hindsight, is foreshadowing what was to happen to him towards the end of this film.
24:57 That type of plot not having been seen before is actually the reason the decision to go back to the already-visited 1955 was taken; such action has potential for additional comedy and drama that is impossible outside of a time-travel premise.
Hi Elena, it's great you're making your way through this epic trilogy, yes plesase react to part 3 next and finish it off :) its essential to watch all 3 - it's an unwritten rule ;)
I noticed for the first time watching this reaction, that the wiping out of the entire universe DIDN'T happen when old Biff met young Biff. He even handed him the book AND smacked him in the back of the head. So, Doc was wrong about coming into contact with their past selves.
It was fun watching your reactions to the movie - especially the future, my favorite part! I would have loved to have seen your reaction to the hoverboard chase, though!
Of course you should watch Part III! Then watch "City Slickers" because hardly any women have reacted to it. You'll get views because your reaction will stand out.
Great reaction Elenalike always, this one is amazing this might be my favorite trilogy of all time so I love seeing how much you love it! I can't WAIT for you to see Part III. There are some fun facts about this one. This movie was filmed back-to-back with Part III. If you notice they replaced the actress who played Jennifer Parker, Claudia Wells in the original Back to the future, but had to pull out of appearing in Part II after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Elizabeth Shue was cast in the role instead and even re-shot the final scene of the first film, so it could be ‘replayed’ at the beginning of the second. This was Elijah Wood in his very first film role, Wood’s role, as an awed child by the arcade cabinet playing that game with pistols, Crispin Glover who portrais Mcfly Sr in the first one did not apper on this one. According to Glover, he discovered that he was offered far less to reprise his role in any given sequel than Lea Thompson for a similarly sized role, Glover’s agents demanded a higher fee and script approval, and Bob Gale responded by offering even less money than before. As a result, Glover pulled out of the sequel as was replaced by Jeffrey Weissman in heavy prosthetics. This is partly why George McFly is almost always shot in the dark, from behind, or upside-down. One of the more memorable gags about the future occurs when Marty is assailed by a holographic shark outside the cinema (or ‘Holomax’). The Jaws films, in spite of the critically panned Jaws 3-D and Jaws 4, are still going strong in the fictional 2015, marking the nineteenth entry in the franchise. Jaws 19 is directed by Max Spielberg, son of the legendary director. Max was born in June 1985, the ‘present’ era of the trilogy. Actors playing themselves is nothing new - and it wasn’t new in 1989, either. However, this was mostly achieved with clever camerawork and body doubles. Back to the Future Part II broke the mould by using a VFX trick that allowed the same actor to feature twice in the same frame: the ‘Vista Glide.’ As usual, necessity is the mother of invention. Given the number of times characters interact with their past selves, or alternate future selves, or narrowly avoid continuum-obliterating paradoxes, exactly this technique was needed. There are a genuine stunt injury in this film in the hoverboard chase. Due to a technical difficulty with the wires suspending the actors, Cheryl Wheeler-Duncan - the stunt double for Darlene Vogel’s Spike veers off-course and slams into the concrete pillar next to the glass. Ouch! She then falls 30 feet on to the concrete below. Evidently Zemeckis saw a silver lining in this on-set mishap, as that take is the one we see in the film. Keep up the good work.
Don't forget when Doc got zapped to 1885 he had a delorean. Think about it, he could stash it away so 1955 Marty and Doc can use it. 1955, 2 Martys, 2 Docs, and 2 Deloreans
