MCFLY!

In 2010, at a casting reunion to celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, Fox said strangers still called him “McFly!” constantly. The actor said the most memorable moment was when he was in a remote jungle in Butan, a country in Southeast Asia, and a group of Buddhist monks walked past him and commented : “Marty McFly!”

THE HUMILED HAVE BEEN EXALTED

The result was impressive: The critically acclaimed story received widespread praise for its originality and dynamics, as well as for giving two equally successful sequels and a musical in 2020.

IMMEDIATE APPROVAL

When the film was screened in a test session, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) had not yet completed the DeLorean’s final flight, and the final minutes were shown in black and white. But that didn’t matter because the audience still roared with applause.

SAD CHANGE

Claudia Wells, who played Jennifer Parker in the first installment of the trilogy, had to give up her role in both sequels when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. The character was then entrusted to Elisabeth Shue.

PERSONAL INSPIRATION

TO SEEK BACK OR NOT TO SEEK BACK? THAT IS THE QUESTION

GOVERNMENT APPROVAL

BUSY SCHEDULE

Fox obtained permission from the producer of “Faces and Grimaces”, the series in which he has been playing since 1982, to participate in the film, but on one condition: to undertake to respect the program of the series – which meant that he was meant to be in every episode. . As a result, he did not participate in the Back to the Future promotional tour.
