- I have to agree with Dominic. The trilogy was a continuing saga, and
- if you're going to travel back in forth in time, familiar scenarios
- are bound to crop up. In part II, I enjoyed the sequence in which
- Marty uses a hoverboard in the future to escape from Biff and his
- gang, which was basically an update of when he used the bottom
- half of the scooter in 1955. And the idea of Marty trying to avoid
- bumping into himself (footage from part 1) in the past was brilliant.
- Did anyone notice that Elisabeth Shue replaced the actress who played
- Jennifer in part II?
- Does anyone know what part Elijah Wood (kid from Mel Gibsons "Forever
- Young") played in "BTTF II"? I don't remember him in it.
