Back to the Future | First Time Watching | REACTION - LiteWeight Reacting

10 million points for noticing the LONE PINE MALL sign.

You cant watch the first Back to the Future without watching all three. Its a law. Its in the books.

They actually planned on this movie being a standalone with no sequels in mind. After the success of this they decided to make part two and three (which were both filmed at the same time)

**IMPORTANT NOTICE** At the end of part 2. You need to STOP the movie when it says, "To Be Concluded". It will spoil the part 3 surprises. Thanks Thanks also for picking up on her changing in the window. So, so, many miss that.

"Marty, what a nice name" They loved that name so much, they waited for their third kid to use it. 😆

46:25 - Marvin Berry called his cousin Chuck ..... CHUCK BERRY .... one of the pioneers of rock and roll, who, in 1958, wrote and recorded the song "Johnny B. Goode," the song that Marty was playing on stage! Also, Chuck Berry was famous for the "duck walk" that Marty does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr4AsGnMiO0

Once you understand how Loraine behaves, you get why there are so many kids jumping in front of cars. They’re probably bird watching

So impressed that you noticed all of the small details! Lone Pine Mall, inventing the skateboard, etc. Most people miss these things first time watching!

The script is flawless. The foreshadowing, the callbacks, the character development, the humor mixed with the poignancy as well as the darkness. The way it handles the time travel without being hokey but also without being just stupid like many movies. The direction from Zemeckis is phenomenal. If you re-watch it, go look at the camera movement and watch how few cuts there are in a scene, how he covers a scene with a master and how he blocks the scene with his actors, how he uses the foreground and the background, how he frames things. The set design etc. Of course the performances are all incredible. Every single one of them is awesome. The score is stellar. The way Zemeckis handles tension, stretches moments to their breaking point (like the clock tower and Marty driving toward the cable at the end) without cheating too hard. All in all it's just a masterpiece. It's a blockbuster, but it's also film-making.

Back to the future is probably one of the best trilogies of all time. And you'll have to watch all three, you'll understand after you do, they all compliment each other. they are a master class in trilogy making, and it's an incredible ride.

I"M SO GLAD you didn't edit out Doc's reaction after sending Marty back. It's such a beautiful moment to see him so excited and to see how much he cared for Marty.

It was supposed to be a standalone film. They didn't plan on any sequels. The ending was meant as a fun gag/joke. It made so much money they were later asked to make more. They filmed 2 and 3 back to back.

Bob Zemeckis confirmed that Marty met Doc when he was around 14 after hearing that Brown was a dangerous lunatic. Marty wanted to go and see what it was all about for himself. He snuck into Doc's lab and was fascinated by all his inventions. When Doc caught him, he was glad to have someone interested in his work, and their friendship began.

You're in for a REAL TREAT with this trilogy!!!

As children we typically understand that our parents are watching us grow up, but very few are ever aware that as children we are also watching our parents growing up.

It's been used in film classes as an example of "the perfect script". Not one line of dialogue or one scene is wasted. Everything is a setup and payoff. For me, this is my all-time fav film (not what I think is the best film, just the one I could watch forever). My "fun fact" - Tom Wilson, who plays Bully Biff, is the nicest guy in real-life, a devout catholic and the exact OPPOSITTE of his character. When they were filming the "car scene", he would apologize to Lea Thompson (Lorraine) every take they did. She was so sweet and told him everything was fine, they were acting.

The guy in the band, Marvin Berry (a fictional character), called his cousin Chuck Berry (an actual real life musician), who was the author of the song Marty was playing, Johnny B. Goode.

The phone number Jennifer gave Marty was a 555- number, which was the prefix for non operative tv and movie phone numbers.

When Marty was auditioning with his band at high school, the teacher with the megaphone who said he was just too darn loud was Huey Lewis from Huey Lewis & The News. The song Marty was playing in the audition is a Huey Lewis song as were other songs in the movie.

That yellow guitar Marty plays in the beginning is called a Chiquita. It's smaller than a regular guitar which makes it easy to carry and it's very rare. Thomas F. Wilson, who plays the bully, Biff Tannen based his performance on his own experiences of being bullied himself in high school. You may have noticed the name of the farmer, Mr. Peabody and his son, Sherman. Sherman and Peabody were characters on the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons in the 1950's and 1960's. They would go back in time in their "Way Back Machine" to witness important historical events, usually to help those events happen.
