Back To The Future too!
When a great movie is made there is always the sequel, the sequel is never as good as the movie it is following but always tries to live up to to its former self, this sometimes leads to the movie giving the audience the same 'meal' they enjoyed out of the first one, hence Die Hard 2: Die Harder, but I'm not going to go into that stupid stupid movie but instead focus on Back To The Future: Part II.
Back To The Future on one hand was a solid story set out well from start to finish to make it a good movie, in Back To The Future II (well the second half anyway) they went a bit crazy trying to top the first film completely by going into the first movie again!
Yes anything is possible when you have a time machine!
What was the coolest bit in the first movie, the skateboard chase in which Biff tries to ram Marty in his '46 Ford before Marty jumps the whole car catches his skateboard and watches Biff careen into the back of a manure truck and get himself and his car buried in shit.
How do you top something like that?
Well how about have Biff chase Marty in his '46 Ford while Marty rides a hoverboard from the future at night through a tunnel when Biff nearly catches him again only to have Marty be saved by catching a bit of rope attached to a flying DeLorean.
Then have Biff crash into another manure truck and get covered in shit again.
Another memorable scene from the first movie is Marty playing John B. Goode in the dance scene, but to add to the excitement of a song why not have his future self save his past self playing on stage by climbing over him and dropping sandbags on their heads.
It sounded crazy enough to work.
And finally the lightning scene from the first film, well have that repeated again by having the flying DeLorean being struck by lightning.
Then repeat the other scene from the first movie again to double the adrenaline rush!
So in this case does the sequel better the original?
It's your decision.
