For the six or seven people left on the planet who aren’t familiar with them, the feature films in the “BttF” trilogy are: – “ Back to the Future ” (1985), directed by Robert Zemeckis, from a screenplay by Zemeckis and Bob Gale. The film stars in leading roles Michael J. Fox (as Marty McFly, a high school student and aspiring musician), Christopher Lloyd (as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown, an eccentric scientist experimenting with time travel), Lea Thompson (as Lorraine Baines McFly, a 1955 teenager who grows up to become Marty’s unhappy, alcoholic mother), Crispin Glover (as George McFly, a nerdy 1955 high schooler who grows up to become Marty’s cowardly, submissive father), and Thomas F. Wilson (as Biff Tannen, a 1955 high school bully who grows up to become George’s 1985 boss). Also featured are – in the 1985 portion of the film – Claudia Wells (as Jennifer Parker, Marty’s girlfriend), Marc McClure and Wendie Jo Sperber (as Dave and Linda McFly, Marty’s brother and sister), Elsa Raven (as the Clocktower Lady), Richard L. Duran and Jeff O’Haco (as Libyan terrorists), singer Huey Lewis (as a judge for the Battle of the Bands contest in an uncredited cameo), and – in the 1955 portion of the film – George DiCenzo and Frances Lee McCain (as Sam and Stella Baines, Lorraine’s parents), Jason Hervey as Milton, Lorraine’s younger brother), Jeffrey Jay Cohen, Casey Siemaszko, and Billy Zane (as Skinhead, 3-D, and Match – Biff’s gang), Norman Alden (as cafe owner Lou), Donald Fullilove (as Goldie Wilson, Lou’s employee and the future mayor), Harry Waters Jr. (as Chuck Berry’s cousin Marvin Berry; Will Hare (as Pa Peabody), Courtney Gains (as Dixon, the kid who interrupts George’s and Lorraine’s dance) – and in both the 1985 AND 1955 portions of the film – James Tolkan (as Hill Valley High School authoritarian Principal Strickland). “Back to the Future” concerns seventeen-year-old Marty McFly, who is accidentally sent back in time from October 26, 1985, to November 5, 1955, in a time machine invented and built from a DeLorean by eccentric scientist Doc Brown. Soon after his arrival in 1955, Marty’s mother, Lorraine, falls in love with him, rather than with his father George McFly, threatening to cause a paradox that would prevent Marty’s existence. Without no way to power the time machine, Marty must find the 1955 Doc Brown to help him reunite his parents and return to 1985. The efforts of Biff Tannen, George’s bully, further complicate the situation until Marty successfully causes his parents to fall in love and simultaneously convinces George to finally stand up to Biff. Returning to the future via a lightning strike that powers the time machine, Marty discovers a vastly improved situation for the McFly family, as a much more confident George has become an accomplished science fiction author, Marty’s two older siblings have better lives, he owns the car of his dreams, and an apparently-softened Biff is now an auto detailer, rather than George’s boss. In the film’s final moments, Doc appears in an upgraded version of the DeLorean and tells Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer that they must travel to the future to fix a problem with Marty and Jennifer’s kids. – “ Back to the Future: Part II ” (1989), directed by Robert Zemeckis, from a screenplay by Bob Gale based on a story by Zemeckis and Gale.

Fox as (Marty McFly, Marty McFly Jr., and Marlene McFly), Christopher Lloyd (as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown), Lea Thompson (as Lorraine Baines-McFly, and Thomas F. Wilson as (Biff Tannen, Griff Tannen, and the voice of Gertrude Tannen).

In “Back to the Future: Part II”, Doc travels with Marty and Jennifer to the year 2015, where he has discovered Marty’s family is in ruins. Shortly after rectifying the situation, Marty buys a sports almanac containing the outcomes of 50 years (1950–2000) worth of sporting events. However, Doc warns Marty against profiting from time travel and throws the almanac in a trash bin, where the 2015 Biff Tannen finds it. Meanwhile, a sleeping Jennifer is taken by police to her future home, prompting Marty and Doc to retrieve her before returning to 1985. While Marty and Doc are at the 2015 McFly home, 2015 Biff steals the DeLorean time machine, travels to 1955, and gives the book to his 1955 self just before he goes to the dance at the end of the first film. When Doc and Marty return to 1985, they find that Biff has used knowledge from the sports almanac for financial gain, allowing him to turn Courthouse Square into a casino, take over Hill Valley, get away with the murder of George, and later marry Lorraine. Marty learns that Biff was given the book by his 2015 self on November 12, 1955, so he and Doc go back to that date in order to retrieve the almanac. They accomplish this in a complex fashion, often crossing their own past selves’ paths. When the duo is about to travel back to 1985, a lightning bolt strikes the DeLorean, activating the time circuits, sending Doc back to 1885, and leaving Marty stranded once again in 1955. – “ Back to the Future: Part III ” (1990), directed by Robert Zemeckis, from a screenplay by Bob Gale based on a story by Zemeckis and Gale. The film stars in leading roles Michael J. Fox as (Marty McFly and Seamus McFly), Christopher Lloyd (as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown), Mary Steenburgen (as Clara Clayton), Thomas F. Wilson (as Biff Tannen and Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen), and Lea Thompson (as Lorraine McFly and Maggie McFly). Returning from previous films are Elisabeth Shue (as Jennifer Parker), Flea (as Douglas J. Needles), Marc McClure, Wendie Jo Sperber, and Jeffrey Weissman (as Dave, Linda, and George McFly, respectively), James Tolkan (who played Principal Strickland in the first two films here plays his ancestor Marshal James Strickland) – and in the 1885 portion of the film – Buford's gang in 1885 is portrayed by Christopher Wynne, Sean Gregory Sullivan, and Mike Watson (as Buford’s gang, with Wynne doing double duty as a member of Needles’ gang in 1985, alongside J. J. Cohen and Ricky Dean Logan who played Skinhead and Data, respectively, in previous films), Matt Clark (as Chester, the bartender), Pat Buttram, Harry Carey, Jr. and Dub Taylor (veteran Western film actors who play the three elderly patrons of the saloon), Hugh Gillin, Burton Gilliam, Donovan Scott, and Bill McKinney (as Hill Valley’s mayor – a role originally offered to newly retired former actor Ronald Reagan, a gun salesman, Marshal Strickland’s deputy, and a locomotive engineer, respectively), Todd Cameron Brown and Dannel Evans (as Doc and Clara’s sons Jules and Verne Brown), Lindsay Vail Clark (as William McFly, Marty’s great-grandfather, as a baby), and Frank Beard, Billy Gibbons, and Dusty Hill – the members of ZZ Top – as the band, basically themselves, playing an acoustic version of their song “Doubleback” at the Festival. In “Back to the Future: Part III”, after learning that Doc Brown was trapped in 1885, Marty and the 1955 Doc find and fix the DeLorean. Marty learns that Doc gets shot in 1885 by Biff’s great-grandfather, the outlaw Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen, and decides to travel back in time to save Doc. Arriving in the middle of a chase between the United States Cavalry and American Indians, Marty is forced to flee to a cave, tearing the DeLorean’s fuel line and losing its gasoline in the process. Marty convinces Doc to come back with him and find a way to get back to his time before he is killed, but Doc is smitten after saving schoolteacher Clara Clayton. After running afoul of and defeating Buford Tannen, Marty and Doc use a speeding locomotive to push the DeLorean to the required 88 miles per hour, returning Marty to 1985 without Doc. When the DeLorean appears in 1985, a modern train destroys it, with Marty barely escaping. Reuniting with Jennifer, Marty avoids a street race and the two visit the scene of the wreckage of the DeLorean. Suddenly, Doc, Clara and their children appear in a time-travelling steam locomotive. Doc reminds Marty and Jennifer that “your future is whatever you make it” so they must “make it a good one”. The locomotive, now equipped with a flying circuit, lifts off the tracks and departs from 1985, ending the trilogy. The “Back to the Future” franchise follows the adventures of high school student Marty McFly and eccentric scientist Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown as they use a DeLorean time machine to time travel to different periods in the history of the fictional town of Hill Valley, California. The first “Back to the Future” film was the highest-grossing film of 1985 and became an international phenomenon, leading to the second and third films, which were back-to-back film productions, released in 1989 and 1990, respectively. Though the sequels did not perform as well at the box office as the first film, the trilogy remains immensely popular and has yielded such spin-offs as an animated television series, a motion-simulation ride at the Universal Destinations & Experiences in Universal City, California; Orlando, Florida; and Osaka, Japan (all later closed), a series of video games, and a stage musical. The film’s visual effects were done by Industrial Light & Magic. The first film won an Academy Award for Sound Editing. * * * * * CONDITION: Each item offered is in pristine-to-mint condition, meaning there are no obvious defects to the item itself, there are no holes or tears to the factory shrink-wrap, and there are no loose discs.
