""Great scott!" - great Back To The Future outtake!"

I was just looking through the extras of Back To The Future and I watched the outtakes and there's a really great one. When George McFly says "gimme a milk - make it chocolate", the guy serving him makes it slide along the counter, but it slides off the counter and onto the floor. Cracked me the hell up.

Gonna watch BTTF 2 tonight.

BTTF2 - the most overplayed film in the Sci-Fi channel's history :P

Heavy.

Yeah :D

I like the text: "Micheal does not know that there is real alcohol in the bottle."

*Sprays car with alcohol/Micheal J Fox saliva solution*

Classic. :D

Great films. Pity Micheal J Fox has Parkinson's now though :(

The out-take where Fox drank real alcohol was funny. It caught him totally by surprise

Awww man, I hate bloody spelling mistakes. What the hell is "clock and dagger"?!?!?!?

New Year's Resolution - get my fingers sorted so they type what I think better.

I got kind of annoyed with this release. I first watched BTTF when I was like 4 or 5 and one of my earliest cinema related memories is going to watch BTTF2 when it first came out with my big bro. I bloody love these films and wanted them to get the best DVD treatment possible.

Problem is the rediculous amount variation between the regions. There was that first international version that came out ages ago which was dirt cheep, but had no extras. Then we're told the UK version has been delayed so that it can get all the extras the US version will have. However, it turns out that was a big fat lie.

I know region veriations are hardly suprising (hell, I've been buying DVDs for years now). Point is that we were told the delay was to get these extra features and no one was really that clear when the situation changed. It all felt very clock and dagger and left a bad taste in the mouth.

I did get the US version in the end and just wondering - what commentary tracks did the UK one end up with? US one has a "Candid Q+A with Director Robert Zemeckis and Producer Bob Gale" (a university Q+A rearanged and played over the film like a commentary track, though not scene specific) and a traditional commentary with Bob Gale and another producer Neil Canton. These are on each film and then for the first there is also an "Enhanced Conversation with Michael J. Fox" - not sure where this is played like a commentary (a la the Gale/Zemeckis Q+A) or just an interview.

Annoying thing is I was watching the Gale/Zemeckis Q+A last night and it turns out all the interesting bits were lifted by the lazy journos and used as quotes for Empire and Total Film in their "Making Of..." features a couple of months ago.

Someone mentioned it is on TV today. Not checked so I don't know.
