If my calculations are correct, when the Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day hits 88mph you’re going to see some serious shit.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Back To the Future! Tada! I mean, I know my hint yesterday was only vague if you are under the age of 4 and/or are living in Dogtooth, but yeah… here it is and it’s a neat one, too.
Below you’ll see Mr. Marty McFly himself, Michael J. Fox, posing with Huey Lewis as Huey films his cameo early in the film as the battle of the bands audition judge. Of course, Huey went on to record Back In Time, the film’s song which is right up there with Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters as being the most catchy/awesome movie tie-in song of the ‘80s.
Thanks to Twitter follower Luc Pestille for bringing this shot to my attention and to Gavinrothery.com (with another shoutout to bttf.com because if it’s a Back to the Future BTS pic I haven’t seen before I’m willing to bet it originated there).
And here's the shot in color, dug up by those obsessives at Outatime.net, who are strangely not running a website anymore, but their Facebook page is where it's at. Click the image to venture over. Here it is:
My favorite thing about the color version is that it really does look like a disembodied hand is hanging off the 35mm camera behind the two until you realize it's a trick of the eye.
If you have a behind the scenes shot you’d like to submit to this column, you can email me at quint@aintitcool.com.
Tomorrow’s pic will get some guys hot and bothered, fair warning. Ladies may have to run is all I’m sayin’.

Went on to record "Back in Time", don't you mean "Power of Love"???

Sept. 6, 2012, 5:03 a.m. CST
Power of Love is by far the better of the two songs..
by Righteous Brother
and is more associated with Back to the Future, than 'Back in Time' also on the soundtrack (end credits?) Don't expect Quint to know shit about music.

One of those songs that takes you right back to where you were the first time you heard it. Great days. Fanfuckingtastic flick.

Funny comparing Huey Lewis and Ray Parker Jr. movie songs....

And Back to the Future is easily one of, if not THE, greatest trilogies ever. 50 years from now people will remember Nolan's Bat trilogy as terribly overrated, but BTTF will still be beloved.

Sept. 6, 2012, 5:20 a.m. CST
HOWEVER, my personal favorite trilogy, and in my mind the best trilogy, will be The Karate Kid Trilogy. Thought Part III had problems, it had some truly powerful, special moments.

Darn shame Spider-Man 3 was so very, very terrible. Raimi's Spidey films could have been a great trilogy.

The Dollars trilogy - abso-fucking-lutely perfect in every single way, the gold standard of trilogies.
-
Sept. 6, 2012, 5:36 a.m. CST
righteousbrother, that's a good one! All three are great films. When I watched them I was surprised to find that For A Few Dollars More was my far and away my favorite of the trilogy.
by The Krypton Kid
-
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is my favorite. It's so epic, and I love Eli Wallach as Tuco.
-
Sept. 6, 2012, 5:52 a.m. CST
Wallach as Tuco is brilliance. But to me, Lee Van Cleef as Col. Douglas Mortimer is something very, very special.

OK, if you ever wonder why when Marty and the Pinheads when they play Power of Love they never get to sing...it's because Huey and the boys had the music figured out, but not the lyrics, not up to that point. The band also thought that Back in Time was going to be the "hit" song, and Power of Love was finished last. They also had another song, "In the Nick of Time", which was rejected for BTTF, but rather it was in the Richard Pryor film "Brewster's Millions" sung by Patti LaBelle. Are you with me so far....???? Huey and the News are still alive... ;)

You do realize there's a comment box below the subject line right?
-
Sept. 6, 2012, 6:59 a.m. CST
yep, "Back in Time" was the theme, not "Power of Love," so Quint is correct to refer to it in relation to "Ghostbusters"
by Monnie Knapp
I believe it also ended up as the theme to the animated tv show

I love this movie. MJF's version of Johnny B Goode was my introduction to, and still my favorite version of the song.
by iakobos
No offense to Chuck Berry. I of course love the original too. And also I meant the sound track version, not Marty McFly's metal ending to the movie version. And yes that was Fox playing all the guitar tracks you hear/see him playing in the movie.
-
I'm not a BTTF expert, but my memories say that "The Power of Love" is the song playing over the main credits at the beginning of the film (when Marty is skateboarding to school). Doesn't that kinda make "The Power of Love" the movie's theme song???
-
now i think you are a moron because you followed that up by saying that the Karate Kid trilogy is the best. srsly? rly, srsly? i don't even...what? Star Wars, Godfather, Superman, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones (yes, there is no Crystal Skull), .... plz, everybody is entitled to their opinion but there are some boundaries...
-
I'm pretty sure they didn't use Fox's vocals on that though, it was dubbed over with someone else's.

(Not really. I just love that line.)

Back In Time, the film’s song which is right up there with Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters as being the most catchy/awesome movie tie-in song of the ‘80s.
by Carolinamaestro
Power of Love was the hit song that was popular and played on the radio in the '80s. Back In Time was never a hit song and rarely played on the radio. I would never compare it to Ray Parker's Ghostbusters, which was a huge hit for him (possibly his biggest). By the way, almost as famous as Power of Love is the incredible score in this film by Alan Silvestri, which is probably his most recognizable score and in my opinion his best.

Ironically, Ray Parker Jr. was sued for ripping off another Huey Lewis song

While Power of Love got more radio play, Back in Time was actually ABOUT the plot of the movie...

Oh, fuck this. I'm not getting sucked into this dopey ass argument.
-
Oh puns, but seriously.
-
They were my first concert. They put on a helluva show - great live band. In my mind, they are as closely associated with the first FUTURE as Michael J. Fox.
-
Power of love is a classic. I mean they are not Led Zeppelin or The Beatles. But man they have some fun and catchy tunes.
-
I'm afraid you're just a bit too darn loud!
-
Sept. 6, 2012, 9:08 a.m. CST
we are in terms of popular opinion, "Power of Love" is probably the right choice, but "Back in Time" was the intended theme song
by Monnie Knapp
carolinamaestro is right on about Silvestri's main theme, it owns Huey Lewis, Huey Duck, and Baby Huey. In a row.
-
Sept. 6, 2012, 9:39 a.m. CST
Ugh. I wanted something more classic and I get this Huey lewey duck man? Why no delorean and doc brown? Why you give me duck man?

Huey Lewis & The News are one of my all-time favorite groups. They're amazing in concert, and have so many good songs. Awesome BTS shot. Also, it was so cool seeing this on the big screen a couple years ago when screened it to coincide with the BluRay release. It just reaffirmed what a perfect film the first one is.
-
Okay, being a 100% Huey fan -yes, I admit it- here is the full scoop on the songs, both BTTF and GHOSTBUSTERS, all from their own mouths: 1) The filmmakers behind GHOSTBUSTERS used "I Want a New Drug" as temp music while cutting the film. They then approached Huey & Co. to write a new theme song for GB. They were too busy touring and refused. The GB team then gave the job to Ray Parker Jr, giving him the footage with "Drug" on it to inspire him. No wonder Huey won the plagarism lawsuit. 2) BTTF asked Huey & the News to write a song for BTTF. First, they said they would just give them the next song they wrote, which was "Power of Love", which preceded the actual release of the film, and was not part of any official Huey album. The song was a #1 hit, then, obviously, they wrote a song specifically for the film, "Back in Time", which was released later, and not nearly the hit that "Power" was. "Power" was at the beginning of the film, "Time" at the end. Here endeth the lesson.

This movie taught my 2yr old the phrase "Holy Shit!".
by welcometothepartypal
Now he's 3 and when the movie is on, It doesn't matter which part of the house my wife and I are in, we both yell "STUFF!" whenever "shit" is said. You don't realize how many swears and sex are in you favorite movies until you watch them with your kids.
-
Never understood why everyone loves them,yeah they are a bit of fun but the best Trilogy?.........you have watched other movies right? And as for Karate Kid being the best?....i won't even bother
-
Those three movies are packaged together as a trilogy but they are not a trilogy in the same sense as SW, BTTF, or even the fucking Karate Kid.
-
That would be a smooth rockin double bill!

I used to love the "back To The Future" movies almost to the point of worship.
by albert comin
But they haven't grew woith me very well. Nowdays, my attitude toward them is close to aloofness. Can't pinpoint what exactly what turned me cold to this movies i once loved so much. Robert Zemeckis going mental with those weird creepy ass CGI cartoons certainly didn't helped.

Not only was POL the more popular song, it was also the featured song in the movie. POL opened up the film as the soundtrack to Marty McFly's day. It follows him on his skateboard as Marty goes to school, all the way until he receives the flyer about the clocktower and the kiss from Jennifer. Heck, POL was even the song Marty's band played during their school dance audition! BIT was only heard for a few seconds as background at the end of the movie on Marty's clock-radio. There's no question that POL is the "theme" of the movie.

Hard to find a tighter, more perfect script than the first BTTF
by Somerichs
No filler, no fluff, nothing superfluous. Remember watching it for the first time and delighting in how seemingly small, random pieces of info introduced early in the film end up serving the overall plot so perfectly? Simply amazing...

Some rocker stated in Rolling Stone in the mid '80s (along the lines of..)."When I see Huey Lewis, I see a guy that would play 18 holes with my Dad, and this is the future of rock and roll??!"

Love the dork glasses he wears for the part. Completes the look.

Erm... Toy Story anyone? All the other trilogies have at least one shonky movie. Not Toy Story.

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

I believe BttF was his first 'role'.

The history behind how the song "In the Nick of Time" from the film BREWSTER'S MILLIONS was originally written for BACK TO THE FUTURE is chronicled in the book, "The Billboard Book of Number One Hits: Updated and Expanded 5th Edition".
