The 'Back To The Future' Appreciation Thread

Dan Aykroyd is obviously going to become a ghost, hunting studios trying to make GB3.

God, I need that Marty. How does pre-order work for these guys, I've never bought during TDK years but I have to cave on this... Also, does their stuff sell out?

 

[NewYorkSpider]

This one of the few old movies i hope they NEVER try to re-make!

I agree. I hope it's never touched.

 

[Travesty]

I hope they remake it soon, with Jaden Smith for Marty.

Haha, you truly live up to your screen name.

If you're pre-ordering through Sideshow's site, generally there's a non refundable deposit (usually 10-20%). The full payment isn't due until the item ships. Also, you can go on their 'flex pay' plan which allows you to make small payments throughout a several month period (sort of akin to layway).
As far as their stuff selling out, it often does, but sometimes it doesn't. If it does, they have a waitlist feature.

Question:

So i just noticed. At the end of part 3 when Marty returns back to his house to pick up the truck before going to wake up Jennifer, Biff and his parents are wearing different colored clothing, but i thought he arrives back the same day and time he and Doc left at the end of part 1, beginning of part 2; shouldn't they be wearing the same clothes (Biff and co)…?

 

[Octoberist]

I just watched 'The Last Star Fighter' and it had the original 'Jennifer' as the female lead.

I never really thought about it, but I preferred her over Elizabeth Shue. She has the sexy 80's look that I love. Could be her tomboy flair, the hair and her eyes

 

[chamber-music]

Elizabeth Shue was hot.

I guess the changes to the timeline might explain a change of clothes

 

[Octoberist]

I just think the other Jenn was hottttterrrrrrr

The timeline was restored to what it was at the end of BTTF 1, so they should have been in the same clothes.

And i too think the original Jennifer 'Claudia Wells' was way hotter than Shue. Actually Shue, even though i find her generally attractive, looks pretty 'meh' as Jennifer.

 

[Travesty]

It's not perfectly restored, just like how it wasn't perfectly restored at the end of part1.

 

[chamber-music]

The mere fact they travelled back in time changes the timeline. For an example Clara doesn't fall into the ravine like Marty remembers hearing about in the original timeline which may have numerous untold consequences.

Marty, Doc, and Jennifer take off in the DeLorean bound for 2015 on the Saturday morning of October 26, 1985. After the events of Part II and Part III, he arrives from 1885 on the morning of Sunday October 27, 1985. Everybody's wearing different clothes because it's a different day.

Claudia Wells aka OG Jennifer was not the lead in Last Starfighter that was Catherine Mary Stewart sorry

 

[Dr. Evil]

Elizabeth Shue isn't looking too bad on CSI these days.

darn it! You're right!

*has a black belt in BTTF trivia*

 

[Frodo]

She's always been cute even back during her Karate Kid and Adventures in Babysitting Days. Ah, the 80s.

 

[sueb1863]

I wonder if they'll do a 30th anniversary rerelease next year, like they did this past weekend for Ghostbusters? Although I'm not sure if the Ghostbusters release did all that well...

 

[DocHolliday]

If the BTTF series was a videogame, the first one would be the main game. 2 and 3 would be DLC. Unnecessary filler.

Ah, gotcha.

Another thing that irks me is why there is no ice on the Delorean when he arrives in 1885. At the end of BTTF 1, when Doc arrives from the future to get Marty and Jennifer, there is also no ice encrusted over the delorean but i assumed this had something to do with the fact that Mr.Fusion somehow prevented this. Seeing as how Mr.Fusion was no longer working on the delorean retrieved from the mine, when the Delorean travels back to 1885, it should be covered with ice as it always has when it arrives in a new time; just as it did when it travels from 1885 to 1985 via the locomotive.

 

[Travesty]

I'm pretty sure there wasn't any ice when Marty first goes back to 1955. I don't remember seeing any when he crashes through the barn.

 

[scifiwolf]

The ice was never as obvious after Doc's initial test with Einstein. It does show up during other travel events, but you really have to look for it then.
