About damn time! I know they’re kinda cheesy, but I find them entertaining…
So who’s been waiting for them?
I pretty darn excited, especially since it gives me the perfect Christmas present for my girlfriend, who is scarily obsessed with the series.
It should come with some free manure!! And a 2015 Cubs World Series ring!
Tars, man, you’re thinking too small.
HOVERBOARD!
I’m going to make like a tree and buy it!
WOO-HOO!
Bring it on!
(And I’ll settle for the sports almanac, myself – there are still some years left to bet on…)
I can hardly wait, but does anyone know WHY there was such a delay for the DVD release, the vanishing of the titles on video tape, and why the tapes were SOOO expensive when they were out?
Let’s see…hmm…don’t know the answers to the first two, but my guess on the third is that all videocassettes were expensive back then. Wasn’t that the Era of Big, Bulky VHS Packaging? I think that was also the Era of High VCR and VC Prices.
…and I thought this was going to be a thing about the Delorean existing in two nearby places at the same time, or what was the significance of the Marshall’s son…
Hey.
Who WAS the Marshall’s son? The grandfather of the principal?
You’d think that, in III, they would at least have made a reference to the spare fuel injection manifold (?) available in the DeLorean in the mine. If it takes a month to rebuild in 1885, it should take considerably less time when they dig it up in 1955, especially since there won’t be a “ticking clock.”
And forget about Strictland’s ancestry – how could Marty’s great-grandmother McFly look exactly like his mother?
Well, she was a McFly before she took McFly as her married name…
Tars, repeat that slowly. I’m getting a headache.
She was named McFly and married a guy named McFly?
She was McFly and married a guy named Smith and one of their grandchildren married a guy named McFly?
Jeez Louise.
You know, I got the videotape of the first one for only 6.99 at the Jewel by my house a few years ago. So they weren’t always expensive.
Epidode 1 was reasonably priced but episodes 2 and 3 were (if you could find them) like 2 to 3 times more expensive and were not offered packaged as a set.
My guess is the boy was most likely Principal Strickland’s great-grandfather.
Why did all the McFly men look like Michael J Fox except for the father from 1985?
I just learned about this a few days ago, and I am pumped…especially with that nice price on the trilogy. I will certainly pick this up for myself in December. Some places already have it on pre-order. Cool.
Jman
Sounds right, but it was a guy named Baines, since that was Lorraine’s maiden name in BTTF 1.
Bwahaha!
USCDiver, because the father from 1885 (Seamus McFly) looked like Marty’s dad from 1985! 
Everybody’s ancestors and descendents were played by themselves (the same actors) except, I think, for Jennifer Parker, Marty’s girlfriend.
But anyway…WOOHOOO! 
I’ve been in the “scarily obsessed” camp myself, though less so now, and credit the BTTF films with turning me on to time-travel stories and sci-fi in general. There’s a website out there that tracks these things (www.bttf.com–HoldenCaulfield, does your GF go there?) and they’ve been waiting for the DVD for simply ages–rumours have been flying since 1998 at least.
The only problem is that I don’t own a DVD player. 
But maybe they’ll come out with BTTF IV like the fans keep hoping…
