REACTING to *Back to the Future* THAT'S HIS MOM!!?? (First Time Watching) Classic Movies 

When was the first time you saw this movie? In a theater? On you couch?

Fox and Lloyd's chemistry really sells these movies. We simply don't question why a teenage skateboarder and an elderly scientist would hang out with seemingly no friends their own age, we just bought it.

4:10 the judge is Huey Lewis himself, ie. the singer who wrote and performs "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time". What's funny to me is that the cameo was so well done that many reactors are like, "what does that nerdy teacher know about music, just look at him" and it's literally his own song

The actor who played Biff is actually the nicest guy. He was apologizing for treating people the way he had to.

41:21 "Will they remember Marty?" Yes they would remember Marty, BUT based on my personal experience it is very probable that they WON'T remember his face! When I was 47 years old (George and Lorraine's age in 1985) I couldn't remember the face of the girlfriend that I had back when I was 18 years old. So it is quite plausible that George and Lorraine would not remember the face of a kid that they knew for only a few days back 30 years ago.

Michael J Fox ruled the movie world for a certain period of time. He has the likeable personality that translates well at the box office. He had a great run there. He’s quite an extrodinary man. Life challenged him and he answered the bell. He’s an inspiration to us all. And hey, it’s a great movie.

This is probably one of the few movies where a second time watch can still be as exciting as the first, noticing all the things that were missed the first time around.

Fox did play the guitar, he had a lot of lessons to play Johnny B Goode, he was avid at skateboarding too but sadly come the sequel the Parkinsons was showing signs that made it harder for him to perform both In another note, the judge who tells Marty he's 'too damn loud' near the start of the movie is in fact Huey Lewis, lead singer of Huey Lewis and the News who wrote the song he was playing

"Another one of these damn kids jumped in front of my car!" Seems like George isn't the only one that was peeping on Lorraine 🤣🤣

Having grown up in the '50's, when I saw this movie when it first came out in '85, it was so fascinating to see how the movie got just about every nuance right about that era (and how the gradual changes we had missed had added up). In the '50's, atomic warfare was simply a matter of time, when, not if. (Scary time to live then in that regard.) So the doc is imagining Marty is returning from the other side of this war - hence references to how the earth's gravity might have changed. Wearing a vest like Marty and yes, everyone would think you were in the Coast Guard. The first presidential debate between Nixon and Kennedy was five years in the future and in '55, the power of tv was still so underestimated - and seeing "a tv studio in a unit" like a video camera would have been unbelievable. Even by '85, the idea of national politics being played out in front of network cameras was a radical change from '55. In 1985, many people were in shock that a B movie actor like Reagan had been could become president. Jerry Lewis as vice president - Lewis played this annoying whiny goofy guy. Jack Benny's whole shtick revolved around him being tight about money. Workers like gas station attendants did have to wear a uniform - a bow tie was the equivalent of the universal full tie but without dangling ends which could get tangled in moving machinery. There was no such thing as self-serve gas and when a car pulled into a chain service station like a Texaco, your car was fussed over by several people who rushed out to provide service (which is why gas stations were also called service stations). You might notice that Lorraine actually preserves the social norms of '55 - she doesn't ask Marty to the dance, she asks HIM to ask HER (but still very forward and not the type of demure young lady she thought of herself when she remembered her teenage years). By '85, there had been a wholesale abandonment of the the classic downtown of the '50's (some of it's vitality has come back although more has simply been torn down). In the '85 version of Hill Valley, the downtown had been given over to marginal businesses like a porn theater (later a church when Marty returned). Teenagers in '55 flocked to malt shops which in '85 housed a cardio class center (which normally does not need storefront windows). Other buildings were depicted as abandoned. Finally in '55, the Civil Rights movement had just started (Brown v. Board of Education had only been decided the year before). The concept of actual full equality still lagged, even among many of the early supporters. In '55, the idea a black man could carry enough white votes to win in a non-black area was as unconceivable as being rich and having two televisions - or even wanting a second television, there not being that much programming yet. (However, the movie producers - and society in general - could not conceive in '85 a black man could become president, even though if Marty and Doc travelled ahead 30 years, that is exactly what they would have found.)

Michael J Fox does play guitar in this. He's even played with the band Coldplay on stage. Michael J Fox made fun movies to watch. I enjoyed Secrets of My Success and Doc Hollywood as well.

you have to watch all three regardless of quality. the third is not as bad as you may think and it’s a continuous story thru all three movies

Such an iconic trilogy, the first movie is definitely my favourite. I love how Tom Wilson is a genuinely nice guy, and drew his experiences of playing Biff from BEING bullied himself.

I've seen this movie hundreds of times and never caught the line where Marty points at the Doc in his radiation suit and says "Is that a Devo suit?" lol

What is so weird is that going back 30 years today would be going to 1992. Which doesnt seem like that long ago, at least culturally. Like sure tech and stuff has changed since then but it doesnt seem so bizarre as the difference between the 50's and the 80's.

So Netflix has a special called, “The Movies That Made Us” talks about Back To The Future, Aliens, Forrest Gump, and etc. In the Back To The Future one it talked about: a half-baked idea with two new filming graduates (Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale), the movie was almost called “A Spaceman From Pluto” due to the production company official (who changed Marty’s mom’s name to his own wife’s name but it was kept in the movie), they had to fire the original Marty actor bec he was taking his role too seriously, and Michael J Fox had to film his iconic role in the “Family Ties” tv show during the day, and act in Back To The Future at night. He was very sleep deprived and only slept during the trip it takes in the car to set to set, and he was originally very apologetic when his agent called him up after Back To The Future was released, but he found out that it was a Box Office Hit instead of a Box Office Flop. The movie was thought to be a flop in test audiences, but it was mostly due to the fact that people thought Einstein died. After they learned that the dog was fine, their tone changed & they loved the movie. The parking lot scene was actually shot at an LA mall parking lot, that is still open today.

I first saw this film around 2010 when I bought a vhs copy from a church community yardsale. Also I love the tiny attention to detail like when you first see the mall it is called Twin Pine Mall, but after Marty goes back in time and runs over one of the trees. You see when he goes back to the future it is now called Lone Pine Mall.

You know how you can tell this iconic movie is one of the best movies ever made? The fact that it’s still able to entertain and hook us after all these years. Seriously, IT. NEVER. GETS. OLD!

I remember watching this movie back in January of 2008 and instantly falling in love with this movie. Right away, it became my Number 1 Favorite Film of All Time, and it still is to this day.

The teacher who said Marty was too loud was the singer who performed the song “Power of Love” so with Marty performing that at the audition it’s ironic. The guy who played Biff is actually a really nice guy and kept apologizing to Lea (the actress for Lorraine ) and kept making sure she still felt comfortable enough to continue the scene when they filmed the r@^* scene

When Marty arrives to the mall it's named Twin Pines Mall, but after driving over old Peabody's pine, when returning to the mall, the name is Lone Pine Mall.

This movie is still used today as a teaching tool in editing, story writing and pacing. A damn masterpiece that must remain untouched ❤❤

“Make like a tree and leave” is the saying that Biff butchered. You looked confused.

Fun fact. The guy with the speaker that stops marty from playing and saying its too loud is the band singer thst sings the power of love

Ahhhh guys! I cannot wait to watch this reaction. This is one of my all time favourites from my childhood!! 🤗🤗🤗

Geniuenly one of my favorite trilogies, I've watched it countless times and every time I do I still catch new things I didn't notice before.

The Deloreon was a notoriously unreliable and underpowered. A stock Deloreon would be hard pressed to make it up to 88 without a lot of shaking (if at all), let alone one weighed down by aftermarket equipment. The starter being wonky represented the unreliable nature but it was part of the joke that Doc made a purely aesthetic choice. It's one of the reasons it seems like Marty is more confused it's a Delorean than it being a time machine.

This is definitely one of those movie series that I had to question myself on why I waited so long to watch them. Phenomenal movies that is worth rewatching over and over

1.21 GIGAWATTS!??! Like I said before, I still love this movie.

Ok, your Top Gun reaction was intriguing and interesting. Respect. Now it’s clear, you guys love good movies, not pretend or pretentious. Terrific fun revisiting with you and enjoying how you both react and question to the plot, with respect. Subscribed.

So glad your reacting to this. There's lots to love about this movie, but the music stands out to me! It's magical. Melts my heart at times too, especially the violin version when George is holding Lorraine's hand. 💖 Oh, and whoever acted Biff *slayed* LOL. I hated him, I wanted George to keep hitting him and for Lorraine to join in 😅

Hey another thing: Alan silvestri is the guy who made the back to the future soundtrack and avengers soundtrack

another reactor watched this, and his remark at the beginning was, "It was a simpler time in 1985..." to which I replied, "And in 1985, that's exactly what we thought of 1955!"

Love Huey Lewis telling Marty that his music is too loud.

This movie is perfect, flaws and all! Which is impossible, but somehow BTTF still managed it. I watched the trilogy nonstop as a kid and I still unironically kind of want a Delorean. I hope Ninetails loves the trilogy and all its little details as you guys watch it! :D

9:42 I love that people always ask if the Dog alright first. Thank you for the reaction. So much nostalgia. I saw this movie in 1989 first time and had crush on M.J.Fox so much😊

Nine years ago, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Loyd reprised their respective roles when they appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Fun fact, the ending being a "to be continued" type was a joke. There was never meant to be a sequel. When they were coming up with the sequel they were frustrated they wrote themselves into having to go to 2015 since they wanted to stick to the past

I don’t know if you guys noticed, but at first they were at the TWIN PINES MALL, and when Marty comes back it’s LONE PINE MALL cause he ran over one of them when he traveled to the past. WARNING for the next movie, stop it when the movie’s over because it gives you a sneak peek fort the third one, like a little trailer. Love your reactions! 🤗

Excited for this🎉 It is my all time favourite trilogy. I have watched it many times over😅

Here’s a little trivia for you when Marty plays with his band at the audition for his high school dance 🕺,The guy that stands up ⬆️ and says “I’m afraid you’re just to darn loud” on the megaphone 📣 The actor is Huey Lewis

Calling a dance a rythmic ceremonial ritual sounds like something Spock (Star Trek) would say lmao 26:17

I was having a shitty day and this just made it a little brighter! Thx :)

They set up everything really well in this life this film you can definitely see where Rick & Morty got there inspiration from

Michael J. Fox was doing the TV show Family Ties at the same time he was filming this. For two months, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm rehearsing for Family Ties, then off to the Back to The Future set until 2:30 am

I've always attested Back to the Future was a perfect movie. It checks all the boxes for great a cinematic experience as evidence by the test of time.

You'd think Marty would disappear first when he screwed up the timeline since he's the youngest kid. Screwing up the timeline could've postponed his parents getting together but alter the amount of kids they had, if they had an kids at all. Also, note that George gets easily pushed around by nearly everyone yet Marty has to pretend to be a hostile extraterrestrial to convince him to ask Loraine out. 😂

2:10 😂 I’m barely a few minutes in and you already have me enjoying the reaction! Love this movie 💕

One of Biff's cronies in 1955 (Match) is the first screen appearance of Billy Zane. Ending is worth close scrutiny; all the changes Marty makes like "Twin Pines Mall" becoming "Lone Pine Mall" after Marty flattens a pine tree in 1955.

I think this is the most excited I've seen Ninetailedbrush during a reaction. This is not a dig at all! He just seemed so into it, which was awesome to see. :)

Funfact: the judge that tells him his music is too loud is a cameo from Huey Lewis. The musician whose song Martys playing.

I still remember seeing this in the theaters. Such iconic music. Now that Ninetailedbrush saw Back to the Future, he should go back and see Avengers Endgame and Ready Player One again so he can more appreciate all the Back to the Future references in those movies he may have not known about the first time he saw those movies. Eventually, far into the future, I can see these trilogy of movies being remade, but instead of going back to 1955, Marty goes back into the 80's or something. But, I am 1 of the many, many people who thinks this movie should not be touched to be remade until far into the future when all the original cast members are long gone. I can actually even see most of the original living cast members making another sequel...especially since we are in a current trend of seeing sequels made to 80's and 90's movies and reboots to older tv show made.

“I am Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan?”- Annnd that’s how the multiverse was truly created.

It still shocks me when peeps are only watching this for the first time… it’s one of these movies that you assume everyone has watched lol !!! Such a great movie that I would happily watch over and over again for the rest of my life

One of my favourite movies, still funny every time i watch it

I love Back to the Future.

you guys should check out adventures in babysitting and the monster squad

I remember watching this movie in the theater... People were so happy when they left the theater. It was so much fun and positive. But I got two words: Claudia Wells ❤

The best part about the ending making you want more is that they didn't actually intend to make a sequel. The To Be Continued was a time travel joke, basically. They pointed out once they did make sequels that if they were intending to keep going they wouldn't have put Jennifer in the car.

this movie is on everyday(almost) during the summer on TBS and TNT(they play classic like BTTF , Goonies , Farris Bueller, breakfast club, Red Dawn(Swayze) and other classics all summer)

I saw this when it was first released in a drive-in theater. One of those old drive-in metal speakers latched on the window, moon and stars overhead, and the whole lot filled with cars. Magical stuff for an 8 year old.

Glad you caught the reference to the father of Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry! A lot of the younger reactioners don't. 👍🏼

You guys should react to the 'Mission: Impossible' movies if you haven't already.

9:09 there is a dark theory that Doc decided since none of his inventions ever worked, that this one would be his last if it failed. This is why he pointed the DeLorean right at himself and Marty and he looks so surprised when it works, because he expected it not to and for it all to go dark. All his life he drained his family fortune into projects that failed and failed so this was all or nothing.

Delorean is actually trying to make a comeback too, it’s nuts

Fun fact, at the talent show, the song they were playing was by Huey Lewis and the News. The judge that told them they were too darn loud was actually Huey Lewis. It was a nice treat for the fans at the time. It wasn’t something that you saw done back then. I was lucky enough to be a teen when this came out.

I love how the judge who tells Marty his song is "just too darn loud" is the very artist who wrote the song, and everyone rails on him not realizing it's HIS tune!

fun facts! - the actor for Biff (Thomas F Wilson) in real life is a really sweet man -BTTF is described to have a perfect script (but was rejected many times, 40 i think) -Eric Stoltz was the first cast for Marty Mcfly in which it did not give off the intended comedic vibe so he was fired in a way (you can check out some of the footages they filmed with him on youtube!) their initial choice was of course Fox himself but i think there were scheduling conflicts or some sort of issue of him filming in a tv series whereby the production company did not allow him to do BTTF simultaneously -the actor for George (Crispin Glover) apparently had some conflict with the director about his interpretation of his character (he was 50 percent off from the interpretation according to the director) especially the hairstyle not matching the time period -Back To The Future was almost named Space Man From Pluto -the teacher who told Marty that his band was too loud was the singer of the song Marty played (Huey Lewis) -the time machine was a refrigerator but in its earlier drafts

2 Fun facts you may or may not know: #1. The DeLorean car was a disaster in real life and had to be quickly discontinued. It was one of the worst cars ever made and the fact that they use it is part of the 'joke' about making it a car with style for a time machine. #2. A lot of people don't realize that the singer of the theme song ( Power of Love ), Huey Lewis, has a cameo in the movie. He is the teacher at the beginning with the megaphone 📣 saying ' You're just too darn loud ' which is classic since he plays loud rock and blues music in real life! Thanks for the fun reaction. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂

I was in my early 20s during the era when these came out and I worked at Universal Studios driving a Security Car as my "day job" as a young actor.. It was pretty awesome because I got a lot of free time to explore the Studio and I had keys to almost everything! Courthouse Square where the Clock Tower is on the Backlot is where I used to spend a lot of my free time and eat my lunch because it was pretty cool and nice and peaceful between the Studio Tram runs. I had an absolute Blast working there and everytime I see these films it brings back a lot of good memories of my adventures at that studio.. You guys are a lot of fun to watch!

From what I am told, Eddie Van Halen played the guitar in the film.

I can't wait for y'all to react to Part 2 and Part 3. You're gonna love them too.

Oh man the 80s gave us so many incredible movies. Super excited that you're doing all three of the Back to the future's - REALLY hope you'll keep going and do more from the 80's (like Heathers for example)

I get chills MULTIPLE times during this movie - and I've seen it well over 10x. btw, Saw it in theaters, too, as a 5 year old. It was AMAZING to see this trilogy as they came out, on the big screen

In film schools, they show/teach this movie and script as the perfect movie.

The guy that says that the band is too darn loud is the Huey Lewis, the lead singer of the band that plays that song.

I was a senior in HS when I saw this movie in the theater. Wow, what a ride! IMHO, the is a much bigger difference between 1955 vs. 1985 than there is between 1985 vs. now. Technology, music, fashion, social norms, etc. The 60s and 70s were a renaissance of some sort.

I know this isn't exactly a gaming channel but once you guys finish the trilogy you should consider playing the Telltale Back to the future game. It's a really sick continuation of the story

Repeating another comment If/when you watch part 2, pause right at the end. They for some reason show a trailer for the 3rd movie right after and its *spoilers*

all 3 movies are spectacular. the 3rd one gets a bad rap i think bc its very "different" but its incredible and i love it. edit: also if anyone's wondering why they re-cast his girlfriend, the og girl left to take care of her mom (i believe her mom had cancer)

Nicely Done You Guys ! 👍 Long time since I last saw this one…I’d forgotten how much fun it is 🤗

For fun, you guys should check out a comedy bit (not for a reaction, just to give you a laugh) by John Mulaney about Back To The Future. If you just search ‘John Mulaney back to the future’ it shows up. It’s so damn funny.

Such a near perfect movie, how they forshadowed and layer things out

OG Rick (Doc Brown) and Morty (Marty) has and will always be an all time favorite of mine x3

There has never been a series of movies with as much rewatchability as these. Truly timeless.

Interesting question about how when Marty comes back to 1985, he’s in a different timeline, and there should be two of him there. That’s never explored. “Marty…what a nice name.” Then they name their first child Dave. Marty comes back to a family he didn’t grow up with and doesn’t know. Doc sets the timer to go off so Marty hits the wire at 10:04. Doc assumed that this meant that the lightning would hit the clock tower on the dot of 10:04. But there are 60 seconds in a minute. If the car hadn’t conked out and come back, Marty would have hit the wire 10 seconds too early.

Going back in time with out knowing what was there could in a vehicle could be deadly. Vehicle spawns you into the middle of a forest and hit a tree and die immediately because the land hasn't been cleared yet.

Saw this when it came out, in the theaters. So amazing! People were just incredibly hyped. Was very excited when the 2nd one came out. Such a huge hit trilogy.

You boys just time traveled back to my youth! Lol 80's not 50's 😆

If you want to see more of Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) acting spacey, check out the TV series, "Taxi," wherein he plays drugged-out Rev. Jim, the taxi driver.

Watching the entire trilogy is something of a rite of passage in our family. My dad jokingly refused to let my hubby marry me until he'd seen all 3.

Was able to see the new Back to the Future musical in London, all the stage actors nailed the particular acting of the movie cast! Especially funny was the actor for George McFly with his nerdy movements and laugh. The scene with the mom being thirsty for marty had backup singers ahhaha.

I'm so happy you're reacting to these movies they're so iconic !! The first one is probably one of my favourite movies ever and the 2nd and 3rd are so good as well ! Can't wait for you to see them ! Also, all the characters are iconic too and I love the dynamic between Marty and Doc they just give you so much energy when you watch them !

In that year , such precise remote control for unmanned vehicles would have made Doc super wealthy just in government defense contracts.

I only watched this back in the summer of 2018. I had just finished my junior year of high school so I was young and ignorant to the greatness of the past. I watched tons of 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s Classics on binge (the ones I hadn't already watched). This was one of my favorites from the 80s, between this and Ferris Bueller. Instant Classics. Those two movies epitomized the 1980s in film. I also like the Star Wars trilogy but I had seen that multiple times from my elementary school years. The Star Wars Trilogy, Back to the Future Trilogy and Ferris Bueller defined the 1980s and even tho I like the 2010s more since I came up with it, I respect the 80s so much. Not just the 80s but retro movies in general. I share deep respect in what brought us here. From Alfred Hitchcock to Steven Spielberg to Michael Bey. Without any of this, today's Classics would not be possible.

Okay Ninetailedbrush had me laughing the entire video...I love this trilogy. Such a classic story. Can't wait to see y'all react to the other two!!

Michael J. Fox knows how to play the guitar.

"You're a slacker" is a popular quote in my household 😂

Can't wait for these guys to react to the distant future of 2015!

Classic!
