BTTF3 Kid shows you his Flux Capacitor

[WhereEaglesDare]

 I ran across this:



Your thoughts

[Ginsu Victim]

Luckily, I've always watched Doc Brown instead of that kid's crotch, so I never saw this. Not sure I'm any better off now that I have...  

Since you've messed up part of my evening, here's my revenge:

[AtomSmasher]

I am building a Flux Capacitor to go into the marquee of my cab, another Back to the Future Theme, and I ran across this:

Your thoughts

Saw that a while ago and always thought it was weird they kept the take where the kid is telling his mom he needs to pee.

[Ginsu Victim]

Saw that a while ago and always thought it was weird they kept the take where the kid is telling his mom he needs to pee.

This was my thought. He just needed to pee.

Still weird.

Still weird.

Really subtle though, i have had to see this movie a dozen times and never noticed it.  Maybe it just squeezed through.

[pinballwizard79]

[NiN^_^NiN]

The kid had to pee and that was their communication method when on set

Also did you know they made BTTF with eric stoltz first had about 30% done when they got micheal j fox to play it as they originally wanted him and eric was too serious when he acted for this role

[northerngames]

I seen a thing on tv where they found out there was a guy in the stands in teen wolf waving his pecker around at the end while blending in the crowd and nobody noticed for like 12+ years and now it is edited out.

[northerngames]

O sorry I thought you guys were relating penis's with micheal j fox movies and flux units

In the 1985 episode of Fringe this season, the Observers walked out of "BTTF starring Eric Stoltz". I knew he was up for the role, but I had no idea he had filmed that much!

Also of note, Eric Stoltz was about a hairs width away from playing Luke Skywalker.

As for the 'come get some' kid, I agree he was probably trying to nonchalantly tell someone he needed to pee real bad. Either the editor was lazy, or they intentionally included that take in the final print as a joke.

[northerngames]

it's no urban legend just google it and you'll more then likely find alot of results.

I noticed that back when I watched it when it first came out on VHS. I don't recall seeing his junk but I remember telling people he is zipping his pants up. (For some reason I liked that movie. And no, not for that part.)

[RayB]

HAHA, chubby chick undid her zipper so she could sit and then forgot about it when the director had everyone cheer.

[northerngames]

the part I am speaking of is no women unless she was sporting a pecker lol.

[J_K_M_A_N]

the part I am speaking of is no women unless she was sporting a pecker lol.

I am wondering if it was edited because I seem to remember a curly dark haired dude. Again, didn't notice junk for sure but I am pretty sure it was a guy. I may have to look for my old tape of it.

[Vanguard]

Wow, I've watched BTTF like a dozen times and never noticed that.

[Ginsu Victim]

Yeah, I heard about the pines the other day on a BTTF podcast and hadn't gotten around to watching it again to see it. Thanks for the pics.

[javeryh]

Now that is nuts.  I've seen BTTF dozens of times and never noticed that.

[Vanguard]

You'd think if they went to the trouble to put it in the movie, they would have called more attention to it.

People might notice the lone pines vs twin pines but how many would make the connection to marty running over the pines?

[Hoopz]

One I always thought was neat was the name of the ravine in the third end changed to Eastwood.

Lot of weird depth to the trilogy. 

I agree. 

And I would never have picked up on the Lone/Twin Pines change. 

[Vanguard]

Yeah and for some reason the Eastwood ravine thing was obvious.   Perhaps because we knew the ravine was originally names after Clara so we were looking for it.

[LLUncoolJ]

$10 says there isn't a dude's dick in Teen Wolf.

Think of the children PBJ!

[Ginsu Victim]

Oh well, how about we explain how Biff takes the DeLorean back to 1955 with the sports almanac and then warps back to 2015 and everything is exactly the way it was before.  That's bugged the hell out of me since I was a kid.

That's the problem with a lot of time travel movies. You can't think about it too much or else you'll find way too many problems. Back to the Future II is the worst offender in the series.

Donnie Darko did a little better job with time travel stuff, but my favorite movie to deal with the subject is PRIMER. Holy crap that's an awesome movie.

Because Marty gets the almanac back and destroys it in 1955.  Therefore the wealthy Biff of 1985 never exists and nothing really changes in the 2015 future.  When Biff returned to 2015 and nothing changed, we should have know at that point that doc and Marty would be successful in getting the almanac back.

[Ginsu Victim]

Yeah, Primer is definitely not for everyone, and it's hard to hear/understand a lot of what's being said, but once you've seen the whole movie, it's just a mind ---fudgesicle---.

I agree that Butterfly Effect was better than most people give it credit. Funny how that's the time travel movie Stoltz winds up in....as a kiddie perv.

[J_K_M_A_N]

I made that connection pretty quickly actually. I guess I am special.

J_K_M_A_N

[Vanguard]

How so?  The events of the original 1985 still happen and Doc and Marty still travel to 2015 to fix Marty's son's issues.


BTW, remember when biff gets out of the Delorean in 2015 and it seems like he's hurt.  He seems in pain and staggers away.  The original storyline was to have Biff killed in the "1985 Wealthy Biff" timeline and therefore when he returned to 2015 would not longer exist.  The pain he was experiencing was his fading out of existence.

The story was changed at some point but they didn't reshoot that scene....so I'm told.

[Ginsu Victim]

The real question is....

In BTTF3, why did Maggie McFly look exactly like Lorraine Baines-McFly?

[Vanguard]

There's a brief period of time where Old Biff successfully gives Young Biff the almanac.  During that time period, Marty, Doc, and the future as we knew them should have ceased to exist.

It happens in the first movie during the school dance.  During that time period the parents aren't in love, the siblings disappear off the photograph and Marty starts fading.

But Biff didn't win his first bet with the almanc until 1958 so as long as the almanac was destroyed before then (which is was), nothing would have changed.

[Ginsu Victim]

See why I said people shouldn't delve too deep into the time travel aspects? The bottom doesn't hold.

Just enjoy the BTTF films for what they are and leave your brain at the door.

You could even question why they had to go to 2015 to fix the future when the mere fact that Doc told them about the trouble in 1985 would've set the course to correct it anyway. Why didn't future Marty know about the trouble?

But I digress....

[Vanguard]

1958 wasn't before 2015?

 

Remember, everything that happened in the past should have been instantly reflected in the future.

Yes but Marty and Doc fixed what happened in 1958 in 1955 so it never affected 2015.

[Ginsu Victim]

The sports betting is a giant plot hole because those games would not have had the outcome they did in the sports almanac.

[Vanguard]

Well when Marty returns to 1985 in the first movie, he'd be a completely different person (personality wise).   He was raised originally by his whimpy, failure father but after changing his father into a confident, successful author, his upbringing would have been totally different.   He might not even exist considering his parents might not have conceived him at the same time.

There are tons of plot holes and Ginsu is right.   You can't pick things apart too much.   Just enjoy the movies.

[Vanguard]

Then why was 1985 affected?

Because the script said so.

[Vanguard]

He was raised originally by his whimpy, failure father but after changing his father into a confident, successful author, his upbringing would have been totally different.

The father wasn't a successful author, though.  That was his first book to be published.

Ok, so the author thing is a stretch but his dad was a completely different person and would no doubt have been a different influence on Marty's life.

There are tons of plot holes and Ginsu is right.   You can't pick things apart too much.   Just enjoy the movies.

I insist we document and explain each and every one of them.

 

I'm sure there's a website for that somewhere.

Now let's concentrate on 12 Monkeys.

[Ginsu Victim]

Now let's concentrate on 12 Monkeys.

This is the point where I just walk away....

Terry Gilliam movies can only be explained by Terry Gilliam. No one else has a clue.

[Vanguard]

I loved 12 Monkeys.

[Ginsu Victim]

I loved 12 Monkeys.

Me too, but that doesn't change the fact that I couldn't tell you what it's about. (Granted, it's been a while since I last saw it.)

[Vanguard]

It was pretty simple.  The scientist from the future (the leaders of the underground society) didn't want to fix the past.   They wanted to cure the virus in the future.

Better to be a leader in the new future than to be a nobody in the old future.

[Ginsu Victim]

See, I didn't remember any of that and though I understand the movie every time I watch it, I never can remember what the movie is about later.

[J_K_M_A_N]

I just watched that somewhat recently. I had no idea what the ending meant. Was it going to be fixed? Not a clue. I was too stupid to follow that one I guess.

J_K_M_A_N

[Vanguard]

The future people had the ability to time travel.  Once they knew how the virus was initially released, they could have killed/stopped the lab assistant before he did anything.

Instead, they let him get on the plane.  Remeber he flew to 7 major cities and released the virus.   He'd already opened one of the virus vials and infected people at the security checkpoint.   If they wanted to stop him, they wouldn't have let him get that far.

Remember at the end, the lab assistant sat down on the plane next to a woman who was from the future (one of the scientists).   She was there to either contract the virus so she could take it back to the future to create a vaccine or she was there to somehow acquire a virus sample from him.

When she was asked by the lab assistant what line of work she was in, she responded, "I'm in insurance".   In other words she was insuring that he completed his mission of spreading the virus.   

[J_K_M_A_N]

Ah ha! I guess I didn't catch that she was from the future. Makes sense then that she maybe wanted to make a vaccine.

Now let's rip all the time problems in Butterfly Effect.  (I liked it)

J_K_M_A_N

[NiN^_^NiN]

Funny enough i havent watched the first BTTF seen 2nd and 3rd heaps of times but only seen a few bits of the original as anytime they showed a movie here it was always the 2nd or third

Really should watch all the movies

[Ginsu Victim]

The first is a classic. The others are nothing compared to it. You REALLY need to watch it!

[AtomSmasher]

Ah ha! I guess I didn't catch that she was from the future. Makes sense then that she maybe wanted to make a vaccine.

I knew it was the lady from the future, but always thought it was her younger self before the outbreak and they had her there just to show that she was a regular person before everything went bad.

[Vanguard]

That couldn't be the case since she would have been exposed to the virus.  She wouldn't be alive in the future.

Also, she would have been MUCH younger if it was her younger self.   Remember, Cole was at the airport as his younger self and he was a little kid.

[Vanguard]

Cole even said that his mission was to find the virus and when he did, a scientist from the future would come back and study the virus in its pure form.

The conversation took place in the car on the ride from Baltimore to Philadelphia if anyone wants to find it on the DVD.

[Vanguard]

Just finished watching 12 Monkeys again.   After talking about it, I got the urge to see it.

The woman at the end is the future version of herself.  She's not a day younger.  If it was suppose to be an early version of her, she'd have to be 40+ years younger.

Also it sounds like she says, "I'm an assurance" instead of "I'm in insurance". 

[Vanguard]

It sounds like "I'm an assurance". I always thought she said "I'm in Insurance" too but watching it again and even watching her mouth, it looks more like " an assurance.".  

At any rate, she's the future woman, no doubt of that.


Plus, scripts don't always represent what got filmed.

[shardian]

Twin/Lone Pines - I've caught that from day one.

12 Monkeys - I was young when I saw that, but I remember wanting to see it real bad. It was confusing!!! I never picked up on the future lady. I always thought the point was that you can't change the future because the future still sucks even when they are sending a dude back. Why? Because Cole remembered seeing the long haired dude get arrested at the airport even as an adult. Then it becomes obvious he saw himself get arrested and the real criminal get away. Always thought that was a cool ending and a good example of time travel. Knowing about the scientist lady...I don't know, that kind of ruins it for me I think.

[Smoker]

Old Biff took the time machine back to the future  before young biff actually read the thing. remember he used the dust cover for the  mag.
so the act was set in motion but the events hadnt actually occured yet.

If you want to talk about time traveling plot holes, who here watched LOST?  There were plot holes in there you could drive not one tractor trailer through but a dozen.

Careful now... Might be better off starting a new thread. I'd like to hear your plot holes. If you missed a single episode, there's your plot hole. 

[WhereEaglesDare]

I did... 

[Loafmeister]

Twin pine / Lone pine:  I remember talking to friends after seeing the flick and we all caught it. The likelyhood is that you guys did catch it and just forgot about it (it's a small detail).  It's actually not a feat to catch it, as I recall, the old man says "You ran over my pine, you sonnavabitch" so they called great attention to it.

[koolmoecraig]

It's pretty common knowledge but some of you might not be aware...

They shot about 1/3 of BTTF with Eric Stoltz as Marty.  The footage was supposedly destroyed but there are rumors of it being out there somewhere.

like the screen caps on page one?

[koolmoecraig]

Yes, exactly.

[NiN^_^NiN]

lol thats funny

All the footage was destroyed....here's some screen caps of that footage lol

I doubt it was destroyed i would of thought it would of been kept incase Mr fox didn't work out as well as they intended.

Id love for them to release it as an extra on dvd/bluray

That was the biggest complaint about the DVD boxed set they released a while back - that they didn't put the Stoltz footage in.

Well, actually, the second biggest complaint....  the "framing fiasco" was the a much bigger issue for fans.

I suspect that if they put the Stoltz footage in, they'd have to pay him for it.  Why bother to make a small minority of fans happy.

[WhereEaglesDare]

Yes, exactly.

Hay guise, did I do good?

i managed to get this far and now you did it PinBallJim, I am confused!  WHAT?!?!?!?!?

its an inside joke, about chadtower and MDF

I'm surprised more of you didn't notice the Twin/Lone Pine thing.   They call attention to the pines several times during the film.  First before Marty goes back Doc says this whole thing was farmland, belonged to a crazy farmer who was crazy about pine trees.  Then they show Marty running over one of the trees.  They don't touch on it again until the end.

Same here. I was seven when it came out. I sure I probably caught on at some point, but forgot about it.
