Back to the Future

The first Back to the Future movie had several deleted scenes. Here's what they are, and why they were ultimately cut from the final release.

Bob Gale, who co-wrote the script, explained in a DVD commentary of Back to the Future that since George thoroughly explained to Marty what "Darth Vader" told him to do at another point in the movie, there wasn't a need for Marty's instructions to be said twice. Due to the nature of the joke, some responded to it with a great deal of criticism, but it's not clear if the line had anything to do with it being deleted. In the first installment of the Back to the Future trilogy. In a very brief and inconsequential exchange that doesn't last more than 15 seconds, Marty McFly tries to get George to punch him, but the latter only makes a half-hearted attempt and refuses to do anything else. During a visit to the high school, Marty and Doc checked in on Lorraine in class. Much to Marty's dismay, Lorraine was looking over a classmate's shoulder for the answers to a test. The decision to delete the scene can be attributed to its long length, as it takes entirely too long to develop. However, not everything that Zemeckis filmed for Back to the Future made it into the final cut. But when a man and his daughter come to their home and to ask him to buy a case of Sophie Mae peanut brittle, George once again disappoints Marty by agreeing without much resistance. Set at the beginning of the movie after George McFly (Crispin Glover) was hassled by Biff (Thomas F. Wilson) in 1985, "Peanut Brittle" shows Marty trying to to convince to him to just say "no" instead of giving in all the time. Released in 1985, Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future is without question one of the most iconic movies of the decade. A handful of scenes were cut from Back to the Future for varying reasons.
