Indeed, one of the best bits in the whole film is a slight dig at BTTF’s own studio, as well as the legacy of the film’s producer. Yet what Back to the Future Part II got very right is the numbing horror of something like Jaws 19. There were no real hover boards in 2015 (or 2021 for that matter), nor even automated Texaco pumps. To be sure, part of the charm now is what those wild guesses about the future got wrong-such as the idea we’d all be driving around in flying cars, or even simply own cheap cars that didn’t run on fossil fuels. As a sequel that director Robert Zemeckis and screenwriter Bob Gale never intended to make, the ambitious follow-up to one of the greatest sci-fi comedies of all time was put into production simultaneously with Part III, which may have ultimately hurt the middle chapter since Zemeckis was still shooting scenes filmed in the Old West while editing Part II’s trippy vision of the then distant future…of 2015.Įven so, there are elements in the second Back to the Future that still play like gangbusters today, particularly in the sequences set during 2015. Back to the Future Part II is a strange movie.
