Three films. No time saved watching them all. |
Back to the Future: A youthful and Parkinson's free Michael J Fox is friends with a crazy haired Christopher Lloyd who has invented a time machine. Mr J Fox goes back in time, nearly bumps uglies with his mother, thus nearly destroying the space/time continuum. Happily, he gets things back on track with his parents, thus ensuring that he is born and then gets back to his own time by nearly frying Mr Lloyd on a clock tower.
Back to the Future 2: Mr J Fox is at it again, on this occasion heading forwards into the future to solve yet more time-related trauma that will affect him/his family/Cliff Richard. There is a hoverboard involved, which most people of my age are particularly bitter about as it still hasn't been invented yet. We were promised hoverboards! Where are they?!?
Back to the Future 3: Wild West time on yet another cross-time caper for Mr J Fox (who should really have found a cure for Parkinson's in the second movie - opportunity missed) to rescue Mr Lloyd who is stuck in the past. Hoverboards feature prominently, as do many Wild West cliches. It all ends well though. Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is in the film, as well as ZZ Top (which, given the state of them, may well actually be their first recorded concert spliced in with the feature film).
* Disclaimer: synopsis may not be accurate.
A bit knackering but I'll never want those hours back unless it was to watch them over again.
