George McFly

Elizabeth Shue as Jennifer Parker.

Jeffrey Weissman as George McFly, with archive footage of Crispin Glover.

Gonna come back to him.

And James Tolkan as Mr. Strickland.

Glover was asked to return for Back to the Future Part 2, but not only had he allegedly been difficult to work with on the first movie, he also had issues with the ending of Back to the Future, asking questions about why the McFly family were seemingly only happy once they were wealthy.

He didn't like that money equaled happiness.

When he was asked to return for a sequel that prominently featured George McFly, Glover reportedly wanted an increase in salary and script approval.

Allegedly a large increase, although Glover would refute Bob Gale's claim that it was the same remuneration package of Michael J.

oh my god yeah and so what what um not to date anything but what year around was that because uh johnny loves chachi so that's probably way before social media a little bit right and that

was i guess what it was i think it was like in 1981 wow Oh my God, George McFly.

Yeah.

Wait, what is this? This sounds familiar.

it.

What the fuck? before knowing before i think before booking you probably within 72 hours of booking you on this i can't watch everybody well you're listening why am i booking oh my god i've got to tell my friend we're gonna re-watch that oh my god it's amazing i saw so i saw you again younger even younger i'll say i'll say even younger you not younger even younger you then you are now wow oh my god it's incredible Yeah, we were talking about Crispin Glover, speaking of youth, it's like, I don't know how he's still so young looking.

I know he's in like a raw diet or something, I think I read a long time ago, because I remember, you know, Back to the Future, if you don't know, all my listeners know that Back to the Future is like my religion, and so when I saw Charlie's Angels, you know, the remake with him as the swordsman kind of assassin guy in it, it's like, he looks younger than he did as George McFly, you know, even in the 50s version of him, and it's, yeah, it's, I don't know what's up with him, but it's, whatever he's on, it's the good stuff, you

know, it's LA we know people yeah we know

Marty leads an ordinary life.

No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley.

History is going to

change.

to the Future.

Hill Valley, California, 1985.

Destined to follow in his downbeat family's footsteps, high school teenager Marty McFly is about to make history.

Literally.

and and that's why I call the Leaf fans next year fans right they'll be good next year

it's true that's also the plot of Back to the Future where George McFly all he has to do is throw one punch at Biff to save his wife from getting you know sexually assaulted in the car take your

damn hands off of Marner yeah

That is, that's...

Yeah, I would say that it is tricky because you do want to, you know, give the audience what they loved about the first movie, but then you can't just do that.

You've got to do something different, and if you do it too differently, are they then... disappointed that it's not like the first film and, you know, you still need George McFly, but you can't get the actor, you know, that kind of thing.

It's one of those things.

And to some degree, I feel like the DNA of the first film is definitely in the second film.

Sure.

Uh, particularly around, uh, George McFly, right? About what he, what he was at the start of the movie versus the changes that happened in the past-

Yeah

... that caused him to become a different person in the future.

man, I don't even remember that.

He's scaring George McFly and waking him up in the middle of the night.

Yeah.

I know there was a couple in that 70s show.
