…on the New Back to the Future Blu-ray, Sequels and Why People Don’t Like Part Three
How do you feel about part two and three? Some fans feel the sequels felt a bit rushed, or that they could never live up to the original. Are you happy with the way they came out?
BG: Well, they’re perfect enough. I don’t know why anybody would think part three was a bit rushed. If anything was a bit rushed it was part two because we had to finish it while we were making part three. Look, if I could back in time and change one thing, what I would change is the advertising campaign for part two. We should have never let the audience know that there was going to be a part three. It made it seem as if the movie itself didn’t have a satisfying enough ending, and at the time I kind of lobbied and Universal didn’t want to hear any of that. I think that would’ve been a good thing to do. Today that could’ve never happened because of the internet, and everyone would’ve already known we were making a part three. Back in 1989 they didn’t know that. There were people who were pissed off that the movie ended with a cliffhanger, but what are you gonna do.
