QUICK TAKE:
Science Fiction/Comedy: A white-haired scientist and his young friend go back in time in the scientist's time machine to 1955 to prevent what's happened in 1985 and what may happen to them in the future.
PLOT:
In a replay of the final minutes of "Back to the Future" (though filmed differently, with Elisabeth Shue replacing Claudia Wells as Jennifer Parker), scientist and inventor Doc Brown (CHRISTOPHER LLOYD) returns to 1985 in his DeLorean time machine to pick up his friend Marty McFly (MICHAEL J. FOX) and Jennifer, and rush to 2015 to stop Marty's son from getting into a situation that will destroy his entire future family.

Successful on that mission, Doc and Marty are thrust into an even more dangerous situation when the 1955-2000 Sports Almanac Marty bought---and Doc put on top of a full garbage can, while telling Marty that he didn't invent the time machine to profit from gambling---is discovered by Biff Tannen (THOMAS F. WILSON), circa 2015, an old man by that time. Biff steals the DeLorean while Doc and Marty are in Hilldale, and goes back to 1955 to give the almanac to himself so that big money can be made from betting correctly on the games. Doc and Marty discover what has happened when they return to a vastly changed Hill Valley in 1985, rundown and poor all over, except for "Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise," which is the only well-kept building in the area, and populated by bikers and other types looking for a good time.

Marty discovers that his mother is married to Biff and his father George was killed, and Doc is under the threat of being committed to a mental institution. So now, they must go back in time to 1955 to try to get the almanac back.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they're interested in science fiction such as the DeLorean time machine and how time travel works according to this film, or if they're fans of anyone in the cast or of director Robert Zemeckis (who also made "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" "Forrest Gump," and "The Polar Express," among other films), they definitely will.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
No official reason is given, but it's likely for language, violence and suggestive content.
CAST AS ROLE MODELS:
  • MICHAEL J. FOX plays Marty McFly, Marty McFly Sr., Marty McFly Jr., Marlene McFly, and is also seen as the Marty from the first "Back to the Future" when his Part II Marty is back in 1955 at the high school on the night of the dance. Marty's biggest worry is that Biff's actions have caused the death of his father and is his main reason for going back in time to try to get the almanac back from Biff. He reacts strongly whenever anyone calls him "chicken," and that carries over into 2015 when he's much older and is "Marty Sr." He uses some profanity.
  • CHRISTOPHER LLOYD plays Emmett "Doc" Brown, a dedicated scientist and inventor who returns from 2015 to grab Marty and go back to try to prevent Marty's son from facing a prison term. He invented the DeLorean time machine that takes him, Marty and Jennifer to 2015, then back to 1985, and finally back to 1955. His worry about Biff's actions in 1955 is that he'll be committed to a mental institution and a newspaper in the alternate 1985 after Biff's gotten the sports almanac, makes note of it in a large headline.
  • THOMAS F. WILSON plays Biff Tannen in 1955 (as a high school student), 1985 (working for the McFlys and ruling over Hill Valley with his success from the sports almanac in the alternate 1985) and 2015 (as an old man); as well as Griff Tannen, Biff's bionic grandson, in 2015, and Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, Biff's great-grandfather, shown in a photo and in a preview of Part III before the end credits. The Tannen name stands for a mean streak. What each Tannen wants, they get and they don't care who gets in their way and gets hurt by their actions, evidenced by Biff in 1985-A owning "Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise" and living high, while the rest of Hill Valley suffers in poverty, shootings, and murders (the latter seen only as two chalk drawings on pavement). The Biff of 1985-A uses profanity, and that Biff, as well as Biff of 1955 and Griff of 2015, get violent in various ways, including guns and punching people.
  • LEA THOMPSON plays Lorraine Baines McFly, wife of George and mother to Marty. She appears in 1955 in what appears to be archival footage from the first film, used inventively. She visits Marty Sr. and family in 2015, as an elderly woman, and in 1985-A, is forcibly married to Biff Tannen, who mistreats her. She also drinks twice in that same time.
  • ELISABETH SHUE plays Jennifer Parker, Marty's girlfriend in 1985, who travels to 2015 with him and Doc Brown, and is put out by the Doc with a double-light "sleep-inducing alpha rhythm generator," as she was asking too many questions and wasn't essential to his plan. She is found by two police officers in an alley, where Doc put her in the meantime, and she's taken to the McFly household in Hilldale, and later, encounters her older self, married to Marty, and faints from the experience of seeing herself with gray hair and a few wrinkles.
  • JAMES TOLKAN plays Mr. Strickland, the principal of Hill Valley High, who believes any ne'er-do-well student to be a slacker, such as Biff in 1955. He also appears in the alternate 1985, telling Marty that the high school burned down six years ago, and is forced to defend his home against a gang armed with automatic weapons. He drinks five times from a coffee mug filled with alcohol in his office in 1955.

    HOW OTHERS RATED THIS MOVIE


    Curious if this title is entertaining, any good, and/or has any artistic merit?
    Then read OUR TAKE of this film.


    (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below).


    OUR WORD TO PARENTS:
    The following is a brief summary of the content found in this PG-rated science fiction comedy. Profanity consists of at least 7 "s" words while other expletives and colorful phrases are uttered. Varying amounts of cleavage are present as is some suggestive content, while a man sits with two apparently nude women in a hot tub, but nothing explicit is seen.

    Violence consists of many punches thrown, destruction with a baseball bat and with automatic weapons, as well as one of the main characters using a handgun on one of the other main characters, and causing damage as well.

    Varying degrees of bad attitudes are present, there's some drinking and brief smoking, while some of the stunts and other behavior may be enticing for some kids to imitate. Tense family material is also present.

    Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to look more closely at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.

    For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, some of that occurs at several times in the film.


    ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE
  • A car stops short of Marty Jr. and after yelling at the driver that he's walking, he also yells, "Don't drive trank!", which possibly means "drunk."
  • A female cop gets out of a police car in front of the McFly residence, looks around and says, "Hilldale. Nothing but a breeding ground for tranks, lobos and zipheads." Tranks may mean "drunks," lobos could mean "homeless" or "winos," and zipheads could be referring to those addicted to drugs.
  • Jennifer asks what's going on as she's escorted into the McFly residence by the two police officers and one of them replies, "You got a little tranked."
  • Marty bumps into a homeless man in 1985-A, whom he recognizes as Red, who says, "Watch where you're going. Crazy drunk pedestrian."
  • As a tank cruises down the street, a biker waves a beer bottle.
  • A man passes Marty, holding a beer can.
  • Lorraine holds a glass of alcohol, and drinks from it twice, once in Biff's presence and once after he leaves.
  • As Biff follows her, Lorraine grabs a bottle from a side table and pours more alcohol into her glass. Lorraine then puts the bottle on a counter that has a cluster of other bottles.
  • As Lorraine goes upstairs after announcing to Biff that she's leaving, Biff asks her who's going to pay for what she has, such as her liquor.
  • Biff holds a square glass of alcohol as he walks into his office.
  • 3-D, a member of 1955 Biff's gang, pours alcohol into the punch at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
  • 3-D pours the rest of the liquor onto the pavement outside and when Biff demands that his gang get going to find Marty, he hands the bottle to Biff and says, "Drink up Biff." As the gang walks away, Biff throws the empty glass bottle and it shatters offscreen.
  • Mr. Strickland walks around Biff and asks, "Is that liquor I smell, Tannen?" Biff replies, "Uh, I, I wouldn't know. I don't know what liquor smells like 'cause I'm too young to drink it."
  • Strickland takes a bottle out of his desk and pours some alcohol into a coffee mug. During that scene, he drinks from the mug five times, occasionally reacting to the strength of the liquor.
  • BLOOD/GORE
  • After arriving in 2015, Doc begins to peel off his face, or at least a covering of some sort, telling Marty that he went to a rejuvenation clinic and got a "whole natural overhaul," including a "change of blood," though that's only mentioned.
  • Some blood is seen on a chalk outline of a victim at a crime scene in 1985-A.
  • A slight stream of blood is seen at the side of Biff's mouth while he's on the ground, and more prominently when he faces Marty later in front of an entrance to the high school gym, as well as a bit down his left nostril.
  • Dried blood is seen under Biff's left nostril while he's in the tunnel.
  • Biff's car crashes sideways into the back of a manure truck, and manure spills into his car, dust pluming. After the mess has settled, he spits out a chunk of it.
  • DISRESPECTFUL/BAD ATTITUDE
  • There are three generations of Tannens present: Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, Biff's great-grandfather (prominent in the Old West of Hill Valley, as seen in a photograph and in footage of the preview for part III); Biff himself in 1955, 1985 (washing cars), 1985-A (after winning millions from the Sports Almanac) and 2015 (as an old man, from the regular 1985); and Griff, in 2015, the grandson of Biff, with bionic implants. Each member of the family is mean, wanting to gain much at the cost of others. Griff wants to use Marty Jr. for an unknown plan, that wouldn't bode well. Once the Biff of 1955 gets the Sports Almanac from the Biff of 2015, 1985 Hill Valley changes into a vast wasteland where only "Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise" is well-kept, and on the outskirts, citizens are left to defend themselves from intruders and shootings. The rich Biff also mistreats Marty's mother, Lorraine. At the Biff Tannen Museum, a video plays, heralding Biff's life, and it naturally skews the details in his favor, leaving out the damage he's caused. All three generations are violent: Biff of 1955 punches Marty a few times; Griff does the same to Marty Jr., and then trying to hit the actual Marty with a baseball bat, still thinking that he's Marty Jr; and Buford shoots a gun a few times at Marty in the footage for Part III. The Tannens are basically the villains of all three films.
  • Griff asks Marty Jr. if he's had a chance to think about "tonight's opportunity," which isn't mentioned beyond that, but sounds like a robbery of some kind.
  • Marty lifts a little girl off her hoverboard, telling her he needs to use it, but in the context of the scene, it's necessary for him. At the end, after Griff and his gang have crashed through the glass at the Hill Valley Courthouse Mall, the girl tells Marty to keep her hoverboard as she has a better one, a Pit Bull.
  • Old Biff steals the DeLorean for a trip back to 1955 to give the Sports Almanac to himself and change history, unfavorably to others.
  • Needles asks Marty Sr. if he's in with a plan to presumably steal money from the company they work for and says that if it works, it'll solve all his "financial problems." Marty counters that if it doesn't work, he could get fired, though Needles assures him that the boss will never find out. After Needles needles Marty by telling him that the department could consider him chicken, Marty exclaims, "Nobody calls me chicken, Needles, nobody!" and scans his card for Needles from his briefcase. After that call, Marty's boss comes on the TV screen and fires him.
  • After Biff of 1955 leaves his house and his grandmother continues yelling at him from inside, he mutters, "Shut up, you old bag."
  • Biff of 1955 intercepts a bouncing ball belonging to five kids and they demand that he give it back to them. After toying with them, he throws it toward the roof of a house, where it stays.
  • 3-D, a member of 1955 Biff's gang, pours alcohol into the punch at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
  • FRIGHTENING SCENES
  • Scenes listed under "Violence" may be suspenseful to younger viewers and/or those with low tolerance levels for such material.
  • The flying DeLorean barely gets out of the way on an oncoming taxicab, which honks its horn, and Jennifer screams.
  • GUNS/WEAPONS
  • Handguns/Rifles/Automatic Weapons: Carried and used to threaten, shoot at one person, and cause property damage. See "Violence" for details.
  • Mr. Strickland cocks a rifle from offscreen and demands that Marty drop his newspaper. A full shot reveals that Strickland is also wearing bullets like a sash around his mid-section.
  • Mr. Strickland fires two shots at the gang that just fired at his house and yells, "Eat lead, slackers!"
  • A man holds a rifle in the parking lot of Biff's Pleasure Paradise.
  • A tank cruises down a street, on patrol, and men on top of it hold guns.
  • A shot of Biff's great-grandfather, Buford "Mad Dog Tannen," in an introduction to a documentary on Biff's life, shows the Old West man holding a gun.
  • Biff cocks a small handgun and points it at Marty.
  • Marty stands on a ledge on the roof of Biff's Pleasure Paradise and Biff tells him to jump because "a suicide will be nice and neat." Marty asks "What if I don't?" In response, Biff points his gun at Marty and replies, "Lead poisoning."
  • During the preview for Part III before Part II's end credits: Doc aims a very long gun at Buford; Buford fires his gun at Marty's feet, causing him to move quickly to dodge the bullets and Buford shouts, "Come on runt! You can dance!"; and Marty fires a gun, Doc's hat flies off (though it's not certain if it's because of Marty's shot), and a bullet hits Buford's gun, knocking his aim askew.
  • IMITATIVE BEHAVIOR
  • Phrases: "Holy sh*t!" "Jack-sh*t," "Bullsh*t," "Horse-sh*t," "What's wrong, McFly? You got no scrote?" "What the hell is goin' on here?" "What the hell was/is that/this?" "Right on the tick," "Oh, this is heavy," "Mr. Loser," "Loser with a capital L," "Damn!" "Buttheads," "Don't drive trank!" "Low res scuzzball!" "What the hell?" "What in the name of Sir Isaac H. Newton happened here?" "Damn this traffic!" "This is bitchin'," "Son of a…," "Now don't you be a smartass," "Freeze, sucker!" You piece of trash," "Damn right you made a mistake," "Eat lead, slackers!" "What the hell do you care?" "You son of a bitch!" "You're dead, you little son of a bitch!" "Idiot," "Shut up, you old bag," "…why don't you take a long walk off a short pier?" "That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship," "Get your cooties off of me," "Who are you, Miss Lonelyhearts?" "Just get in the car, butthead," "Who are you calling butthead, butthead?" "Now why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here," "What, are you deaf, old man?" "All right, pops, what's the gag?" "You damn fool!" "Slacker!" "Hey butthead!" "Are you chicken?" "Whoa!" and "Who the hell are you?"
  • Some of the stunts involving the DeLorean, hoverboarding and otherwise, may be enticing for some kids to imitate.
  • Marty Jr. wears his jacket with one arm of it hanging down over his hand.
  • Doc tells Marty to pull out his pants pockets because "all the kids in the future wear their pants inside-out." Later, in Hilldale, Marty is seen with his pants pockets still inside out.
  • Someone fishes in the town square lake of Hill Valley.
  • Marty Jr. walks into traffic and a car stops short in front of him, and he slaps the hood softly.
  • Marty goes down a stairwell and jumps from one section of stairs to another below it to hide from Biff's men until he can get to the roof.
  • 1955 Biff lifts up the back of Lorraine's skirt, trying to look under it.
  • 3-D, a member of Biff's gang, pours alcohol into the punch at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
  • Biff throws an empty glass bottle and it shatters offscreen.
  • JUMP SCENES
  • None
  • MUSIC (SCARY/TENSE)
  • A heavy amount of suspenseful music occurs in the film.
  • MUSIC (INAPPROPRIATE)
  • None
  • PROFANITY
  • At least 7 "s" words, 1 slang term for breasts ("t*t," seen on the TV screen in the McFly household), 23 hells, 17 damns, 2 asses (1 used with "hole" and 1 used with "smart"), 6 S.O.Bs, 2 uses of "Oh my God," and 1 use each of "Oh, God" and "Jesus."
  • SEX/NUDITY
  • Doc looks through a binocular device to spot Marty Jr., and a woman passing by Marty Jr. wears a semi-short skirt and shows much cleavage.
  • Another woman in 2015 Hill Valley, in a yellowish blouse, shows some cleavage.
  • In a far shot, as the holographic commercial for Hover Conversion Systems plays, some Hare Krishnas walk by, and a few are shirtless.
  • As Marty walks into the Café '80s, a woman passes by him to exit, wearing a skintight outfit with a thong design at the rear, outlining her bottom.
  • Spike, the girl of Griff's gang, drags a sharp animal tooth of some kind down Marty's Jr. face and chest after he hesitates about Griff's "opportunity," asking, "What's wrong, McFly? You got no scrote?" After that last word, she grabs him by his crotch and he reacts with wide eyes and yells out, and she lifts him up off the floor and then throws him onto the counter.
  • Spike's bra, two large cups, can be seen through her shirt.
  • Marlene, Marty's daughter in 2015, wears a short skirt.
  • An advertisement on the widescreen TV in the McFly household hawks the super-inflatable "TIT" (possibly an acronym, but the words aren't shown), and shows a woman with significant cleavage from it. Another shot of the TV from Jennifer's point of view shows a side view of the woman, with larger breasts and the words "For that last minute adjustment."
  • Lorraine asks Marty Sr. if he and Jennifer are getting along and Marty replies, "Oh, yeah. Great, mom; we're more like a couple of teenagers, you know?"
  • In one shot of the video introduction to Biff's life outside the Biff Tannen Museum, he's seen kissing Lorraine, with tongue.
  • Lorraine shows massive cleavage and Marty, surprised, responds, "Mom? Mom, that can't be you." After Lorraine asks him if he's fine, he responds, "I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just that you're so---you're so…big."
  • Lorraine wears a dress that shows some leg.
  • As Lorraine goes upstairs, Biff asks her who's going to pay for the things she has, and when he gets to the cosmetic surgery, she fires back, "You were the one who wanted me to get these---these things!", putting her hands around them for reference. She then says to Biff, "If you want 'em back, you can have 'em."
  • Biff sits in a hot tub, bare-chested, between two women who also aren't wearing anything, but are covered up to the beginning of their breasts by the water.
  • Seeing the dress Lorraine bought, Biff comments to her, "Nice dress, Lorraine, although I think you'd look better wearing nothing at all," and at that, he lifts up the back of her dress, trying to look under it.
  • Some of the dresses worn by the girls at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance show some cleavage.
  • Biff looks at a girlie magazine called "Oh LaLa," which includes two women showing a lot of leg on inside pages, one also showing significant cleavage, as well as the woman on the cover showing a lot of leg.
  • After Strickland leaves, Marty retrieves the Sports Almanac from his garbage can, thinking that it is what he's looking for and he opens it, only to find that Biff put the dust jacket of the almanac onto the "Oh LaLa" magazine and more pictures are seen of women with much cleavage and leg showing, and possibly a bare breast, though it's not certain and could just be a bra.
  • Lorraine wears a dress at the dance that shows some cleavage.
  • SMOKING
  • Lorraine smokes once in a car with the Marty from the first "Back to the Future."
  • On the stationary logo for "Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise," Biff has a cigar in his mouth and is lighting it with burning dollar bills.
  • TENSE FAMILY SCENES
  • Lorraine wonders where Jennifer is, and Marty Sr. tells her that he doesn't know where she is. Lorraine then asks Marty if he and Jennifer are getting along and he replies, "Oh yeah. Great, mom; we're more like a couple of teenagers, you know?" It's not implied that the two are fighting.
  • Lorraine finds one of the faxes from Marty Sr.'s boss with only the words, "You're Fired," and asks Marty what it's all about, worrying, and Marty lies, telling his mom not to worry, that it's just an office joke between him and Needles.
  • In 1985-A, Lorraine is forcibly married to Biff Tannen, who mistreats her. At one point, as Lorraine goes upstairs, Biff asks her who's going to pay for the things she has, and when he gets to the cosmetic surgery, she fires back, "You were the one who wanted me to get these---these things!", putting her hands around them for reference. She then says to Biff, "If you want 'em back, you can have 'em."
  • TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT
  • Time travel.
  • A lot of the plot points may require further discussion, such as Old Biff in 2015 stealing the DeLorean to deliver the Sports Almanac to his younger self in 1955, thereby allowing that Biff to profit from it and become rich. This negates the existence of the Old Biff, who comes stumbling out of the DeLorean, sweating profusely, after he arrives back in 2015, and in pain, possibly dying. One thing that isn't made clear is that if Old Biff is no more by then, because of the Biff of 1955 using the Sports Almanac for huge financial gain, then why didn't that 2015 Hill Valley change to reflect the times?
  • Doc explains to Marty that the timeline of the Earth skewed into an alternate 1985 once Biff in 1955 got his hands on the Sports Almanac, which is why Hill Valley is as slummy as it looks.
  • Marty explores 2015 Hill Valley, which includes vehicles that hover above the ground, a 3-D Jaws movie, and a nostalgia café called the Café '80s, as well as a shop selling items from the '80s.
  • During the film, scenes from the first "Back to the Future" are integrated into the plot and are seen from different vantage points.
  • The DeLorean itself and the special effects surrounding it.
  • There are three generations of Tannens: Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (Biff's great-grandfather, shown in a photograph and during a preview of Part III), Biff himself in 1955, 1985, 1985-A and 2015, and Griff, Biff's grandson, with bionic implants in 2015.
  • Lorraine and George arrive at the McFly household with pizza, which requires hydration. In 1985, with Marty having changed the future from 1955 in the first film, George was a successful author and the technology back then wasn't as advanced as it is in 2015. Lorraine seems used to the new technology and so does George, who hangs upside down from a device that keeps his back straight after having hurt it while playing golf. A possible discussion within a family is how technology changed for the parents in the family and how they got used to it.
  • Doc tells Marty later in the film not to encounter his past self at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance for fear that it may create a time paradox that could tear apart the universe, yet young and old Jennifer encounter each other earlier in the film and both faint, and Doc talks to his 1955 self, though he never actually faces him.
  • One of the themes of the "Back to the Future" films is family. What makes a family? What keeps a family together? What's common among a family? In the case of lineage, what traits of family members might carry over to new generations? The Tannen family is mean, wanting to grab what they want at the expense of others.
  • VIOLENCE
  • In a replay of the final moments from the first movie (though filmed differently), the DeLorean speeds into Marty's driveway, hitting a trashcan.
  • Old Biff hits Marty on the top of his head with the knuckles that make up the handle of his cane.
  • Old Biff hits Marty on the top of his head with his cane again after Marty, seeing Griff yell at Old Biff, asks, "Are you two related?"
  • Griff drags Old Biff out of the exit of the Café '80s.
  • Griff tells Marty Jr. that his "shoe's unbelted," and when Marty Jr. looks down, Griff punches him in the face and he lands on the counter. Then, Griff grabs him off the counter by the back of his jacket.
  • Spike, the girl of Griff's gang, drags a sharp animal tooth of some kind down Marty's Jr. face and chest after he hesitates about Griff's "opportunity," asking, "What's wrong, McFly? You got no scrote?" After that last word, she grabs him by his crotch and he reacts with wide eyes and yells out, and she lifts him up off the floor, then throws him onto the counter.
  • After Spike's act, Griff and another member of his gang grab Marty Jr. off the counter.
  • Griff lifts Marty Jr. up and throws him at the bank of monitors behind the counter, and he lands on the floor.
  • Griff grabs Marty (posing as Marty Jr.) by the shoulder and positions his fist at Marty's face, demanding to hear the right answer about the "opportunity." Marty shoves Griff backwards slightly.
  • Griff points a huge bat at Marty. He swings, but hits the monitor with the Reagan impersonator on it. It falls, sparks, and shocks Griff a little bit.
  • Marty yells at Griff, "Hey look!", and when Griff turns his head, he tries to punch him, but Griff grabs Marty's fist and grips it painfully. Marty then kicks Griff in the crotch, which makes a clanking sound, grips Griff's shoulders, and throws him at the members of his gang, knocking them all down, and he runs.
  • Not quite in control of riding a hoverboard yet, Marty sails over two people, and they duck to the ground. Marty then rides the hoverboard too high, and he flips and falls to the ground.
  • Griff tries to hit a passing Marty with his bat, but Marty ducks and Griff hits a taillight on his car.
  • Marty jumps into the lake to avoid Griff's bat, and Griff and company spin around. The Pit Bull hoverboard goes out of control and it, as well as Griff and his gang, goes flying through the glass at the Hill Valley Courthouse Mall, which shatters and falls, along with them.
  • Marty Jr. runs out of the Café '80s, smack into Old Biff, and he apologizes.
  • Old Griff accidentally backs the DeLorean into a dumpster, which skitters backwards a bit, and cubes of garbage, some of which fall over.
  • Jennifer reels backward from seeing the older version of herself, and faints, knocking her head against the door.
  • In 1985-A, Marty returns to what he thinks is his own house, but finds the gate padlocked and another family living in it. A man with a bat in his hand appears in the doorway of his daughter's room, shouting at Marty, "Freeze, sucker!" Marty tells the man that he doesn't want any trouble, and the man replies, "Well you got trouble now, you piece of trash," going after Marty with the bat. Marty runs out of the way and the man hits a night table. The man runs at Marty again, but Marty ducks, and the man hits some things on top of a bookcase. "I think I made a mistake," Marty explains. "Damn right you made a mistake," the man replies, and runs at Marty again, but Marty gets out of the way again and the man hits a lamp and other items on top of a chest of drawers. Marty then runs out of the house.
  • A gang drives by Mr. Strickland's house, shooting automatic weapons. Strickland ducks inside, and Marty dives behind a wall, as flower pots explode on the ledge and dirt flies. There are also holes made in the side of the house from the gunfire.
  • One of Biff's men, standing behind Marty, hits him on the head, knocking him out.
  • Lorraine tells Biff that he isn't half the man George was, and Biff grabs her by the shoulder and shoves her to the floor.
  • In a scene from "A Fistful of Dollars" that's playing on a TV monitor above Biff's hot tub, a man fires at Joe (Clint Eastwood) three times, and Joe looks like he's slumped over.
