    On tuesday next.

    Wiki it.


    Unbelievably there wasn't a facebook group for this. So I made one. Paste biff videos/quotes in here. Join the FB group too. Why? Cause BTTF2 is the best film ever.

    Great movie, and a very interesting way to do a sequel

    I'm going to be unpopular but here goes - this is a movie that is only loved by people that haven't watched it recently. It wasn't well received critically when it came out with good reason - it's a mess. The whole "don't call me chicken" part comes out of nowheres for Marty's character and feels really forced. Plus they have J.Fox playing nearly his entire future family for no reason whatsoever. It's rubbish, sorry but it is, and has WAY too many scenes from the first film, as if they struggled for new ideas. The whole hoverboard scene will always be remembered but that's about it. Part 3 is even worse


    Love those Nikes though

    Maybe those who love it already know, but in Power City, they've got a 4 disc Back to the Future steelbook for a tenner. All the films, plus a rake of extras on the other disc.

    I always got a laugh out of this.

    The greatest of trilogies.

    Seriously, I've never seen movies with the magic that the Back to the future's I, II and III have.

    Viva Marty and the Doc.

    Good 'ol Biff though, what a schemer!

    Indeed.

    Whoever doesn't adore or at least like BTTF 1, 2 and 3....has some problems that need addressing.

    I shall say a prayer for you, speedboatchase. Hopefully, you will reach enlightenment.

    I watched the BTTF trilogy as a kid and liked them, but was never a massive fan.

    One night, about 6 months ago, i was flicking through my Sky + Box and noticed BTTF 1 had been recorded. So i watched it.

    It wasnt until then i realised just was an amazing movie it really is. Its almost the perfect movie. It has everything and i urged all of my friends to rewatch it. After they didm they all thanked me.

    Great great movie!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    I will say that the 2nd movie's not as good overall as the 1st, but it's my favourite of the three. I absolutely adore the neon future of Hill Valley, and you get to revisit the first film from a different perspective. Just awesome. I'm a huge fan of time travel, and getting to see an alternative heel 1985 and 2015 is really sweet.

    I don't like the chicken bit, and the idea that you still have to 'save your kids' it a bit waah but I really still love the film. Watched it about a year ago. I never noticed how much product placement is in the film until I re-watched it as an adult. Still awesome, but wow.

    I always thought the actress who played the mother when she was younger was pretty hot.

    It would be sorta cool if they made a perfect sequel although it's unlikely, especially when actors like Zach Efron show their interest in it. There is no spontaneous dancing in Back to the Future Efron, so stay away and stick to crappy Disney movies. Thanks a bunch

    they're only the greatest movies ever!

    While I'll shout a very loud no at Zac Efron playing Marty McFly (senior), he could easily pull off both MMcF Jr & also Marlene, putting MJF in a supporting role as Dad (& using cut footage from the originals for the younger Marty) along with the rest of the cast. Christopher Lloyd was heavily made up as Doc anyway so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch. The rest of the cast could also have supporting roles, just the focus thrown on the younger cast, (although Tom Wilson has aged considerably, they could just bring in his "kid")

    I see that as a logical reboot of the franchise. A potential new trilogy. Probably never happen though.

    Love these flicks. Been to Universal in Hollywood & Orlando several times. Got to walk up the steps of the courthouse the last time I was there.

    Bluray is due middle of 2010 AFAIK (but still won't feature the Eric Stoltz footage)

    No, just no. It's a trilogy, leave it as it is. Don't reboot it, it's not needed.
