Back To The Future Part II - And Why We Love It

Robert Zemeckis is known for delivering some of the most technologically impressive films of all time. Sure, he's also responsible for slightly less-impressive films as well- But today, we're here to revisit Back To The Future Part II and celebrate the brilliant adventure to the year of 2015 where cars fly, shoes tie themselves, and of course a flying skateboard is not out of the question either. In this movie, Marty McFly and his quirky best friend Doc Brown travel to 2015- a futuristic version of Marty's hometown boasts a casino owned by Biff's family, and a copy of the sports almanac that aims to make anyone who can take it back to the 80s very, very rich. It's an interesting follow-up to the classic original film and we think it's one of the most fun sequels of the 1980s. What do YOU think? Comment below!

Back to the Future 2 was my favorite of the trilogy. The flat screen TV with multiple channels, Cubs winning World Series, and 80s nostalgia really did come true.

Love this! I remember my mum taking me to see this, The last crusade, Ghostbusters 2 and Honey I shrunk the kids at the Salon cinema in Glasgow when I was around 10. Great movies at the time, great mum ❤

One of the all-time great sequels and it's my favorite movie in this damn near perfect trilogy.

Best time travel movie ever made and I don't thing it can ever be topped.

It's amazing how many things Back To The Future 2 actually did get right about life in 2015; drones, hoverboards, entirely CGI films, pointless sequels, 80s nostalgia, smart phones, fingerprint identification, flat screen tvs, watching multiple channels on 1 tv at once, face time calling, robot servers at restaurants, self tieing shows (though they only exist because of this film), A.I. in machines, & The Chicago Cubs winning The World Series (although, they were 1 year off with that 1).

I saw 2 when it came to VHS just before 3 came out at the movies. Saw 3 at toombul cinema in Brisbane Australia with my mum and brother, loved it! They are smashing that place down right now 😭😭😂

Back To The Future Part II is the best sequel of all time because they actually go back into the first movie and the special effects are amazing for that time and still are 35 years later. 😻

The release of that movie is a landmark memory for myself as well, I even remember the weather. It snowed that night despite being November. The almost five years between movies was a lifetime at that age

Dont forget, the guy that said he wish he could put money on the Cubbies, was the actor that voiced Roger Rabbit, another Zemekis classic

It's cute to see a younger Elijah Wood in the 80's Cafe. Also, as a child, I never noticed that they'd recasted Jennifer from Claudia Wells to Elisabeth Shue, likely because of how long it had been between films. It's more noticeable if you want them back to back, and it was admirable of Claudia to opt not to return, since she had to care for her sick mother.

I know a lot of people don't like sequels, but BttF Part II is one of the exceptions for me that are better than the original.

Even though 2015 is long gone and we still haven’t got any hoverboards, it’s always nice to see how the future is portrayed in movies with specified dates

Marty McFly: [arriving in 1955] Oh, this is heavy, Doc. I mean, it's like I was just here yesterday.
Doc: You were here yesterday, Marty.

I love all 3 movies, but 1 and 3 were definitely my favorite. Probably because it's easier to re-create the past and come up with an interesting story, rather than trying to imagine what the future will be like.

[tmdangel]

BTTF2 will always be my favorite and it's the best one out of the trilogy. Nobody can't tell me otherwise.

[JoeSiegler]

Number 2 was my favorite of the three by far - loved the alternate reality stuff.

[ministerofdarkness]

Truly the Empire Strikes Back of the trilogy!

Trivia note: During the hoverboard chase scene, when the stunt doubles of the 4 teens crashed into the Courthouse, the female blonde stunt double actually got seriously injured from the glass & the fall, so she sued the studio & won a sum of money for her injuries.

[JeremyAustin-hwqy]

My wife and I love these movies we hope they'll never get remade or rebooted

If you haven't already, look of the comic mini series "Biff To The Future" which shows what Biff did after he was given the almanac by his future self & created the alternate 1985.
