‘Back to the Future’ is a classic action/adventure/comedy film from 1985. In fact, it spawned two additional films…one that takes Marty into the future and ends in the Wild West. Test your knowledge and discover what you know about this class film…I bet there will be some surprises! There were for us!
1. Great Scott! Not Another Movie?
Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, director and producer of Back to the Future own the rights to the films and their sequels. In 2015, they maintained that there will never be a reboot or remake during their lifetime.
2. Hey, McFly!
Michael J. Fox shared in 2010 that strangers often call him ‘McFly!’ This even happened in a remote Asian jungle, where a bunch of Buddhist monks passed him and one called him: ‘Marty McFly!’
3. If you don’t succeed…try, try again!
Talk about persistence, the script for Back to the Future was rejected 44 times before a studio finally agreed to produce it.
