"Back to the Future Part II" is a science-fiction adventure comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Bob Gale. It's the sequel to "Back to the Future" and the second installment in the "Back to the Future" trilogy. The story is about Marty McFly who must repeat his visit to 1955 to prevent disastrous changes to 1985 after visiting 2015.
Cast
- Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, Marty, Jr., and Marlene McFly
- Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown
- Thomas F. Wilson as Biff Tannen and Griff Tannen
- Lea Thompson as Lorraine Baines-McFly
- Elisabeth Shue as Jennifer Parker
- James Tolkan as Mr. Strickland
- Jeffrey Weissman as George McFly
- Crispin Glover as George McFly (archival footage)
- Flea as Douglas J. Needles
The second part, in my opinion, turned out not as exciting as the previous one, however, it isn't a disaster: timelines are logical, turns are interesting, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are incomparable as usual. And of course, how can I not mention Robert Zemeckis' view of 2015?
