Who's the Biff of Marty's generation? Who's Griff's dad? Does he look like Biff too? Or does Biff-face skip a generation? Doesn't anyone in this world ever fucking notice that there are only, like, four guys? Then another Biff comes in! Except it's not Biff, it's GRIFF, Biff's grandson! He looks exactly like Biff, just like Marty looks exactly like his own son, because everyone in this universe is infected with that Lady and the Tramp disease where all the boy babies look like the dad and all the girl babies look like the mom. Also, instead of skateboards they have these things that are exactly like skateboards except 400% more dangerous. Everyone is wearing wacky pants, the gas station is a robot, and all the cars look like poos. Like, they still mail things by having a literal guy pick them up and carry them from one place to another (lol), but the mailbox has a COMPUTER ATTACHED, so, impressive. The future is sort of like the present but more bitchin'. "Say no, NO MATTER WHAT." If Marty fails to say no, no matter what, "this one event starts a chain reaction that completely destroys your entire family." Yo, is this really a situation that justifies the use of a technology as fraught and risky as time travel? One family has kind of a crappy time for a few years? That's your emergency? Reminder: Marty and Doc go on to fuck up this "mission" so egregiously that they endanger the fabric of time and space itself. Doc gives Marty some electric shoes and this uggo future-jacket, and tells him to go to a nearby diner and pretend to be his own son and then a man named Griff will come in and ask him a question. ![]() It's raining outside and Marty is like, "ew," but then Doc is like hold up-just wait five seconds and it'll change, because I have the rain memorized for reasons unexplained. Not to worry, though, because then Doc and Marty literally throw Jennifer in the garbage. "No one should know too much about their future." Also, I thought dragging a lifeless corpse around would really speed up our important mission. "She was asking too many questions," he tells Marty. Doc Brown is like WHO IS THIS TERRIBLE PERFUMED YAPPER I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BOY MOVIE and immediately blasts her in the face with a shut-up ray. ![]() When they get to 2015, Jennifer is like, "Why am I in this flying garbage car," and Marty goes, "Uhhh, Jennifer, ummm, I don't know how to tell you this, but, you're in a time machine." So then, of course (WOMAN) literally the only thing Jennifer can think of to do when confronted with the fucking miracle of time travel is to babble incessantly about her wedding. (Yo, just a thought, but I kind of feel like it might be time to let this genetic line peter out? Marty's really the only borderline competent one out of three generations. Marty and Jennifer, you see, have to drive to the year 2015 to stop their horrible toilet children from going to prison and ruining everything. When Marty expresses concern at not having been able to tongue Jennifer, like, at all, Doc Brown says they can take her to the future too. ![]() This has nothing to do with you, we think you’re lovely.’ I burst into tears."Back.to the FUTUBLLRRRRBRBRBRBRBRRRR!!" They said, ‘Unfortunately we had to let Eric go and we think you’re too tall for the new guy we cast. I just remember getting a phone call in my parents’ kitchen, Bob Gale and Zemeckis both called me. So what ultimately kept her from keeping a part in what would become one of the most beloved movie trilogies of all time? Maybe they didn’t think she had the right chemistry to match up with McFly? Or perhaps Fox had somebody in mind and called in a favor? None of the above. Even though the script was completely secret, you had to sign a deal for both. It was supposed to be a two-picture deal – they already had the future idea for Back to the Future Part II and knew this character was going to be in it. I got the part and was so happy, it would have really been my first big movie. When read together, we had great chemistry. Hardin’s brush with the trilogy may have become just another interesting cinematic footnote, but the actress provides a few insights into the experience in a new interview with Wired. The role of Jennifer was eventually played by Claudia Wells in the first film, and Elisabeth Shue in Parts II and III. When Stoltz was replaced, they decided to pair Fox with a different gal-pal as well, and Hardin was let go…without ever having filmed a single scene. Actress Melora Hardin ( Monk) was originally cast as Marty’s girlfriend, Jennifer Parker. What you might not have heard is that the Marty-That-Wasn’t also had a Jen-That-Wasn’t.
