Steven Spielberg was the executive producer, and this is the second of the summer's three Spielberg productions (it follows " The Goonies" and precedes "Explorers"), and maybe it's time to wonder if Spielberg is emulating the great studio chiefs of the past, who specialized in matching the right director with the right project. He first appears in the original 1985 timeline as George McFly's cruel bully of a boss, and. Wilson, Biff serves as a brilliant menace to the McFly family. It's about a character who begins with one view of his life and reality, and is allowed, through magical intervention, to discover another. Played to jerkish perfection by Thomas F. The movie, in fact, resembles Capra's " It's a Wonderful Life" more than other, conventional time-travel movies. "Back to the Future" was directed by Robert (" Romancing the Stone") Zemeckis, who shows not only a fine comic touch but also some of the lighthearted humanism of a Frank Capra. The movie's surprises are one of its great pleasures. I won't even get into the horrifying moment when Marty discovers his mother "has the hots" for him.
Biff from back to the future movie#
Because the movie has so much fun with the paradoxes and predicaments of a kid meeting his own parents, I won't discuss the plot in any detail. But a lot of the differences run more deeply than that, as Marty discovers when he sits down at a lunch counter next to his Dad - who is, of course, a teenager himself. One of the running gags in "Back to the Future" is the way the town has changed in 30 years (for example, the porno house of 1985 was playing a Ronald Reagan movie in 1955). Marty wanders into town, still wearing his 1985 clothing, and the townsfolk look at his goose down jacket and ask him why he's wearing a life preserver.
Biff from back to the future series#
The gadget works, and then, after a series of surprises, Marty finds himself transported back 30 years in time, to the days when the shopping mall was a farmer's field (there's a nice gag when the farmer thinks the De Lorean, with its gull-wing doors, is a flying saucer).

In the long history of time travel movies, there has never been a time machine quite like Brown's, which resembles nothing so much as a customized De Lorean. In the movie, Biff is portrayed as an aggressive individual who loves to swear at the drop of a hat. Brown believes he has discovered the secret of time travel, and one night in the deserted parking lot of the local shopping mall, he demonstrates his invention. Biff was a tyrant who liked to torment George McFly (Marty’s father) often coming in Marty’s way as he sought to bring his parents closer. Brown ( Christopher Lloyd), an inventor with glowing eyes and hair like a fright wig. sent to prison, with Marty’s daughter Marlene also incarcerated after attempting to break her brother out. from joining Biff’s grandson Griff in a robbery.The robbery would see Marty Jr. All that keeps Marty sane is his friendship with the nutty Dr. The journey to the future comes in Back to the Future Part II, and requires Marty to prevent his son, Marty Jr. Dad tells corny jokes and Mom guzzles vodka in the kitchen and the evening meal is like feeding time at the fun house. His parents (let's face it) are hopeless nerds. The movie begins in the present, with a teenager named Marty ( Michael J.
