This came out last week and it's about time. No pun intended. The BTTF series have been my favorite movies for as long as I can remember. I've been obsessed with owning a DeLorean since forever as well just because of those movies. So I definately had to get the 3 DVD box set the day it came out.
It's an awesome set too, each DVD has extras relating to that particular movie. Each movie has deleted scenes, outtakes, commentaries and documentaries and other interesting making-of type stuff.

Does the extras include any Eric Stolz footage? I've seen stills, which suggest that shot quite a few scenes before he got the axe.

No, just some stills but the whole situation and reason for the axe is discussed on one of the documentries. There might be some legal reason why the footage is never shown, like when an agent blocks an actor's bloopers from being shown.

They talk about Stoltz quite a bit. I hadn't realized just how much of the film had actually BEEN filmed when they re-cast Fox (which in turn, forced them to re-cast a new, shorter, actress to play Jenifer). I don't think they say for certain, but to me it sounded like they'd filmed a good 1/3rd of the film with Stoltz ... and wound up firing him while shooting the parking lot scene in the beginning of the film.
I watched BTTF 2&3 and didn't really notice the problem, so it wasn't too bad. I guess if I watched them again knowing that, I might notice it.

What are you talking about? I have it in my shelf since September.

I was sad to hear they royally fucked up the framing in Parts 2 and 3. In Febuary they are re-calling parts 2 and 3 for new ones, properly framed. They explain it here:
Im very sad about this, but I will be getting the discs soon (BTTF-sized present under the tree) and WILL exchange them for the non-fubar ones in Feb 2003.

Now when they say they screwed up on the anamorphic widescreen transfer, does that mean that ONLY the widescreen version is messed up? Or the fullscreen version, too?

quote:Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future (1985). After filming about 1/3 of the movie, they fired him and hired Michael J. Fox. They said that Stoltz didn't act enough like a teenager.

Only the true movie (aka Widescreen) i honestly dont know why the hell anyone would buy the fullscreen versions, they are worse then improperly framed widescreen versions.
