Collection: Back to the Future

Back to the future fan articles

In 1985, director Robert Zemeckis sent us to the future after a script by Bob Gale. Or rather, first in the past. The SCI-Fi film about a rock music playing teenagers, who travels to the 1950s to make sure that his parents fall in love with each other, became an absolute cult film, which even made it into the cinemas for the 30th anniversary.

 

Michael J. Fox, who played the Marty McFly, became a sought-after Hollywood star, even though he shouldn't really play along. At the beginning of Eric Stoltz, his role, with whom the first scenes were also shot. However, Zemeckis was unhappy about the occupation, so that he hired Fox and re -recorded the scenes that had already been turned. On YouTube or on the DVD and Blu-ray versions there are some of the non-used scenes to see Eric Stoltz instead of Michael J. Fox the marty mimics.

 

Also the end of the film when Dr. Emmett Brown Marty asks to come to the future with him - to 2015 - originally meant a joke. It was only serious as the great success of Back to the Future led to a second part. This should take up the premise thought as a joke and let Marty meet his future self and his son.

 

With over $ 300 million at around $ 40 million budget, the sequel in 1989 became a huge success and the open end made it clear that the story would be concluded with a third part. A year later started Back to the Future III The crowning conclusion of the trilogy and sent us in Emmett Brown's favorite era, the Wild West. As in the first part, the successors Robert Zemecki's director and Bob Gale, from which the cult classic "1941 - wherever you go to Hollywood", wrote the script.

 

In all parts, Dr. Emmett Brown played by Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox even took over several roles. While he "only" played the Marty in the first film, in the second he also embodied his daughter and son and in the third film to his ancestors Seamus McFly. Thomas F. Wilson slipped into the role of the Biff Tannen in every epoch of the trilogy (once as a teenager in the 50s, as an adult in the 80s and as a gunfire in the 19th century) and Lea Thompson played Marty's mother. However, two of the stars were only seen in the first part. Crispin Glover, who played Marty's father, wanted to Back to the future II no longer participate, so that you only saw your role there in a short attitude, played by Jeffrey Weissman and she was finally completely written out. The role of Marty's girlfriend is present in each of the films. However, Jennifer was played by Claudia Wells in the first part, while she was replaced in the successors of Elisabeth Shue after Wells was no longer available for private reasons (cancer of the mother).

 

Thanks to the great success of the three films, there was even one in 1991 and 1992 Back to the future TV series, which at least played in 26 episodes on two seasons and played according to the events of Part 3. In addition, dozens of computer and video games for the franchise have appeared over the years and in 2020 it was even adapted as a musical. In 1990 the Japanese company marketed Data East one Back to the Future Flipper machines and the universal studios themed park was the attraction Back to the future: The Ride.

In the films, the town hall clock is destroyed by a lightning strike. The same flash, the Marty and the Doc use to find the 1.21 gigawatts.

According to the first screenplay versions Back to the Future Actually Space Man is called from Pluto, Einstein should be a chimpanzee and instead of the Delorean, the time machine should be in a Ford Mustang. In a file X episode, there is even the story of a parallel universe in which Eric Stoltz played the role of Marty. It would have been funny if he had come from Pluto with a chimpanzee in his Ford Mustang in this version.

The clip has now been clicked on YouTube for many millions and although Lloyd was already very old and Fox strongly marked by Parkinson's, you felt comfortably back into the old days as a spectator and could indulge in nostalgia.
