🎥 Back to the Future Part II (1989)
“Nobody calls me chick……..”
Here’s a then-and-now look at one of the funniest and most cleverly staged moments in Back to the Future Part II.
After sneaking into 1955 to recover the sports almanac, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) finds himself face-to-face with Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson). When Biff taunts him by asking, “What are you, chicken?”, Marty starts to fire back with his famous response: “Nobody calls me chicken!” But before he can finish, the door suddenly swings open and knocks him unconscious.
The door was opened by Marty’s 1955 self, who is running out of the school gym at the exact moment the timelines collide. It’s a quick scene, but it’s a perfect example of how Back to the Future Part II brilliantly weaves new events into moments from the original film.
Filmed at the historic church used as Hill Valley’s High School gym in 1955. Note: The door has changed from double doors to a single door but is in the same location!
