They arrive on October 21, 2015, where Doc electronically knocks out Jennifer, and leaves her asleep in an alley, explaining that she should not have too much knowledge of future events. He has Marty pose as his own son and lookalike Marty Jr. To refuse an offer to participate in a robbery with Biff's grandson, thus saving both of Marty's children from prison.

Before rejoining Doc, Marty purchases an almanac, containing the results of major sporting events from 1950 to 2000. Doc discovers it and warns Marty about attempting to profit from time travel, but before Doc can adequately dispose of it, they are interrupted by the police, who have found Jennifer incapacitated, and are taking her to her 2015 home.
They pursue, as does Biff, who has overheard their conversation, and picked up the almanac that Doc discarded. Jennifer wakes up in her 2015 home and hides from the McFly family. She overhears that her future self's life with Marty is not what she expected, due to his involvement in an automobile accident. She witnesses Marty being goaded by his co-worker, Douglas J. Needles, into a shady business deal, which leads to Marty's firing. Attempting to escape the house, Jennifer encounters her 2015 self and they both faint.
While Marty and Doc attend to her, Biff steals the time machine and uses it to travel back to 1955 and give the almanac to his younger self to get rich by betting, then returns to 2015. Marty, Doc, and an unconscious Jennifer return to 1985, unaware of Biff's actions. The 1985 they return to has: Biff has become wealthy and corrupt, and has changed Hill Valley into a chaotic. Marty's father, was killed in 1973 and Biff has forced Marty's mother, to marry him. Tape backup software vista. Doc has been committed to an. Marty and Doc determine that the 2015 Biff took the time machine to change 1985, and Marty learns from the alternate 1985 Biff that he got the almanac on November 12, 1955.

as George McFly (archival footage). as Development Director said that, initially, a sequel was not planned for the first film, but its huge box office success led to the conception of a second installment. He later agreed to do a sequel, but only if Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd returned as well. With Fox and Lloyd confirmed, Zemeckis met with screenwriting partner to create a story for the sequel.
Zemeckis and Gale would later regret that they ended the first one with Jennifer in the car with Marty and Doc Brown, because it required them to come up with a story that fit her in, rather than a whole new adventure. Gale wrote most of the first draft by himself, as Zemeckis was busy making. At first, the film was to take place in 1967, but Zemeckis later stated that the of it provided a good opportunity to go back to 1955 and see the first one's events in a different light. While most of the original cast agreed to return, a major stumbling block arose when negotiating Crispin Glover's fee for reprising the role of George McFly.
When it became clear that he would not be returning, the role was rewritten so that George is dead when the action takes place in the alternative version of 1985. The greatest challenge was the creation of the futuristic vision of Marty's home town in 2015.
Production designer wanted to create a very detailed image with a different tone from the film, wishing to get past the smoke and chrome. Carter and his most talented men spent months plotting, planning and preparing Hill Valley's transformation into a city of the future. Visual effects art director John Bell stated they had no script to work with, only the indications that the setting would be 30 years into the future featuring 'something called hoverboards'. When writing the script for the film, Gale wanted to push the first one's ideas further for humorous effect. Zemeckis said he was somewhat concerned about portraying the future because of the risk of making wildly inaccurate predictions. According to Gale, they tried to make the future a nice place, 'where what's wrong is due to who lives in the future as opposed to the technology' in contrast to the pessimistic, future seen in most science fiction.
To keep production costs low and take advantage of an extended break Fox had from (which was ending its run when filming began), it was shot with sequel. Production It took two years to finish the set building and the writing on the script before shooting could finally begin. During the shooting, the creation of the appearance of the aged characters was a well-guarded secret, involving state-of-the-art make-up techniques. Fox described the process as very time consuming. 'It took over four hours, although it could be worse'. Began on February 20, 1989. For a three-week period nearing the conclusion of the film, the crew split and, while most remained shooting Part III, a few, including writer-producer Gale, focused on finishing its predecessor.
Zemeckis himself slept only a few hours per day, supervising both films, having to fly between Burbank, where it was being finished, and other locations in California for Part III. The film was considered one of the most ground-breaking projects for.
It was one of the effects house's first forays into, as well as the Vistaglide camera system, which enabled them to shoot one of its most complex sequences, in which Fox played three separate characters (Marty Sr., Marty Jr., and Marlene), all of whom interacted with each other. Although such scenes were not new, the VistaGlide allowed, for the first time, a completely dynamic scene in which camera movement could finally be incorporated. The technique was also used in scenes where Thomas F.
Wilson, Christopher Lloyd, and Elisabeth Shue's characters encounter and interact with their counterparts. It also includes a brief moment of in a shark used to promote a fictional 19, which wound up unaltered from the first test done by ILM's digital department because effects supervisor 'liked the fact that it was all messed up.” Animation supervisor, who then was the head of ILM's animation department, worked heavily on the film's time travel sequences, as he had done in the original film and in Part III. As the film neared release, sufficient footage of Part III had been shot to allow a trailer to be assembled.
It was added at the conclusion of Part II, before the closing credits, as a reassurance to moviegoers that there was more to follow. Replacement of Crispin Glover Crispin Glover was asked to reprise the role of George McFly. He expressed interest, but could not come to an agreement with the producers regarding his salary. He later stated in a 1992 interview on that the producers' highest offer was $125,000, which was less than half of what the other returning cast members were offered.
Gale has since asserted that Glover's demands were excessive for an actor of his professional stature at that point in time. Later, in an interview on the show in 2013, Glover stated that his primary reason for not doing Part II was a philosophical (and ethical) disagreement on the overall moral that the film was conveying. Rather than writing George McFly out of the film, Zemeckis used previously filmed footage of Glover from the first film as well as new footage of actor, who wore including a false chin, nose, and cheekbones. Various techniques were used to obfuscate Weissman's appearance, such as placing him in the background rather than the foreground, having him wear sunglasses, and even hanging him upside down. Glover filed a lawsuit against the producers of the film on the grounds that they neither owned his likeness nor had permission to use it. As a result of this suit, there are now clauses in the collective bargaining agreements which state that producers and actors are not allowed to use such methods to reproduce the likeness of other actors. Replacement of Claudia Wells.
Claudia Wells' scene at the end of Back to the Future (top) was reshot with Elisabeth Shue for the beginning of Part II (bottom)., who had played Marty McFly's girlfriend Jennifer Parker in the first film, was to reprise her role, but turned it down due to her mother's ill health. The producers cast Elisabeth Shue instead, which involved re-shooting the closing scenes of the first film for the beginning of Part II. The re-shot sequence is a near shot-for-shot match with the original, with only minor differences: for example, Doc noticeably hesitates before reassuring Marty that his future self is fine – something he did not do in the first film. Marty is also wearing a watch in the second film whereas he was not in the first. Wells returned to Hollywood with a starring role in the 1996 independent film Still Waters Burn. She is one of the few cast members not to make an appearance within the bonus material on the Back to the Future Trilogy DVD set released in 2002.
However, she is interviewed for the Tales from the Future documentaries in the trilogy's 25th anniversary issue on in 2010. In 2011, she finally had the opportunity to reprise her role from the first film, 26 years after her last appearance in the series.
She provided the voice of Jennifer Parker for. Hoverboard hoax Zemeckis said on the film's behind-the-scenes that the (flying skateboards) used in it were real, yet not released to the public, due to parental complaints regarding safety. Footage of 'real hoverboards' was also featured in the extras of a DVD release of the trilogy. A number of people thought Zemeckis was telling the truth and requested them at toy stores. In an interview, Thomas F. Wilson said one of the most frequent questions he was asked was if they are real.
Depiction of the future According to Zemeckis, the 2015 depicted in the film was not meant to be an accurate depiction of the future. 'For me, filming the future scenes of the movie were the least enjoyable of making the whole trilogy, because I don't really like films that try and predict the future. The only ones I've actually enjoyed were the ones done by, and not even he predicted the when he made.
So, rather than trying to make a scientifically sound prediction that we were probably going to get wrong anyway, we figured, let's just make it funny.' Despite this, the filmmakers did do some research into what scientists thought may occur in the year 2015. Bob Gale said, 'We knew we weren't going to have by the year 2015, but God we had to have those in our movie.'
However, the film did correctly predict a number of technological and sociological changes that occurred by 2015, including: the rise of cameras; use of unmanned flying for; widescreen television sets mounted on walls with multiple channel viewing; systems;; talking hologram;; with fingerprint scanners; and. Payment on personal portable devices is also depicted. Although payment by thumbprint is not widely used, is in use as security at places such as airports and schools, and electronic payment with fingerprint scanning as a security feature is deployed for.
Cars and other vehicles have been able to be run using, though not through a fusion reactor as suggested in the film. The popularity of in the 2010s was also somewhat accurately predicted, although overlaid polarized imagery remains the standard format (as it has been since the 1950s, since updated in modern times to digital) and holography is still not in use for major films. Other aspects of the depiction of the future had not come to pass by 2015, but efforts were made to replicate the technology advances. The film shows Marty putting on 'Air Mag' tennis shoes with automatic shoelaces. Nike released a version of their Hyperdunk Supreme shoes, which appear similar to Marty's, in July 2008. Fans dubbed them the Air McFly.
In April 2009, they filed the patent for self-lacing shoes, and their design bears a resemblance to those worn by Marty in the film. In 2010, a fan named Blake Bevin created shoes that tie themselves.
Though Nike had made very limited quantity of Air Mags in the same style as the movie, they stated in September 2011 that their consumer-line would not feature the self-lacing feature shown in it., one of the shoe's designers, indicated in 2014 that they would introduce shoes with power-lacing technology the following year, 2015. In March 2016, Nike unveiled the shoe, which is a consumer-market model of the Air Mag and features the same self-lacing technology they used for the commemorative Air Mags, and are expected to start selling in late 2016.
The concept of the —a skateboard that can float off the ground—has been explored by various groups since the release of the film. Attempts similar to hoverboats, which blast air at the ground, have been demonstrated, with a 2015 record distance of 275 meters.
A different type is the MagBoard, developed by researchers at the. It uses a large plate on the bottom cooled with liquid nitrogen as to achieve the and allow it to float over a special track; it was shown capable of carrying the weight of a human in its practical demonstration. However, the requirement to run the superconductor at higher, more ambient temperatures prevents this from becoming practical. In March 2014, a company named HUVr Tech purportedly demonstrated a working hoverboard along with several celebrities including Lloyd, though this shortly was revealed as a hoax created by the website. Became popular in 2015 even though they do not hover above the ground. In the 2015 scene, the film imagines the winning the against the fictional -based Gators, referencing the to win a championship.
In, the Cubs qualified for the, their first postseason appearance since, but the Cubs lost the (not the World Series) to the on October 21, 2015, which coincidentally was the same day as ' Back to the Future Day,' the day Marty McFly arrived in 2015 in the film. Despite losing in 2015, one year later the Cubs did win the against the. In the real, the defeated the Mets to win their first World Series championship since 1985, the same year from which Marty and Doc time traveled in the film. As for the fictional Miami Gators, when the film was made did not yet have a team, but the state has since gained two franchises: the Florida Marlins (now the ) in 1993 and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (now the ) in 1998.
Neither qualified for the in 2015. Release and reception Box office The film was released to theaters in North America on Wednesday, November 22, 1989, the day before. It grossed a total of $27.8 million over Friday to Sunday, and $43 million across the five-day holiday opening. On the following weekend, it had a drop of 56 percent, earning $12.1 million, but remained at #1. Its total gross was $118.5 million in the United States and $213 million overseas, for a total of $331 million worldwide, ranking as 1989's sixth-most successful film domestically and the third-most worldwide—behind and. However, this was still short of the first film's gross.
Part III, which Universal released only six months later, experienced a similar drop. Critical response As of March 2016, the film received a 63% approval rating on, based on 60 reviews with an average rating of 6.1/10, with the critical consensus reading, ' Back to the Future II is far more uneven than its predecessor, but its madcap highs outweigh the occasionally cluttered machinations of an overstuffed plot'. The film has a score of 57 out of 100 on, based on 17 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'. Of the gave the film three out of four stars. Ebert criticized it for lacking the 'genuine power of the original,' but praised it for its slapstick humor and the hoverboard in its chase sequence. Of wrote that the film is 'ready for bigger and better things.'
Maslin later said that it 'manages to be giddily and merrily mind-boggling, rather than confusing.' Tom Tunney of magazine wrote that the film was well-directed, 'high-energy escapism', and called it 'solidly entertaining', though noting it as being inferior to the other two films in the franchise. Of the gave the film a negative review, criticizing Zemeckis and Gale for turning the characters into 'strident geeks' and for making the 'frenetic action strictly formulaic.' He believed that it contained 'rampant,' because the character of Jennifer Parker 'is knocked unconscious early on so she won't interfere with the little-boy games.' He cited, as well, Michael J. Fox dressing in drag. Said, 'Director Robert Zemeckis' fascination with having characters interact at different ages of their lives hurts it visually, and strains credibility past the breaking point, by forcing him to rely on some very cheesy makeup designs.'
Accolades The film won the (for, the special effects supervisor), the (Ken Ralston, and ), an Internet-voted 2003 AOL Movies DVD Premiere Award for the trilogy DVDs, a, a Young Artist Award, and the Blimp Awards for Favorite Movie Actor (Michael J. Fox), and Favorite Movie Actress (Lea Thompson) at the. It was nominated in 1990 for an (John Bell, Steve Gawley, Michael Lantieri and Ken Ralston).
Most visual effects nominations were due to the development of a new computer-controlled camera system, called VistaGlide, which was invented specifically for the film – it enables one actor to play two or even three characters in the same scene while the boundary between the sections of the split screen and the camera itself can be moving. The film ranks 498 on 's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time. Home media The film was released on VHS and on May 22, 1990. Universal reissued it on VHS, LaserDisc, and compact disc in 1991, 1995, and 1998. On December 17, 2002, Universal released it on DVD in a boxed trilogy set, although widescreen framing problems led to a product recall. The trilogy was released on Blu-ray Disc in October 2010. Universal re-released the trilogy alongside new features on DVD and Blu-ray on October 21, 2015, coinciding with Back to the Future Day.
The new set included a featurette called 'Doc Brown Saves the World', where Lloyd, reprising his role as Doc Brown, explains the reasons for the differences between the future of 2015 as depicted in Back to the Future Part II and in real life. Soundtrack The soundtrack was released by on November 22, 1989. Rated it four-and-a-half stars out of five.

Description Review: Alan Silvestri's score for the final installment of the Back to the Future trilogy continues the mix of whimsical sweetness and dramatic action that marked his work for the first two films, but adds some elements from Western scores — particularly on 'We're Out of Gas' — to reflect the movie's Old West setting. 'It's Clara (The Train, Pt.
2)' spans all of these elements, while songs like 'Hill Valley' manage to be playful yet menacing, both alternately and at the same time. One strange thing about this album is that it doesn't present some of the cues in the order in which they appeared in the movie: the music for 'The Train' sequence, in which Marty McFly and Doc Brown rig the time-traveling DeLorean up to a train in order to return to the 20th century, is scattered throughout the album instead of appearing together. Overall, though, that's a minor quibble, as Silvestri's music is still quite engaging, particularly his instrumental take on ZZ Top's 'Doubleback.'
