Top 10 Back to the Future II Broken Promises


October 21st 2015 has come and gone yet
it’s still not quite the future we
imagined
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
things Back to the Future Part 2
promised that we still haven’t gotten
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re focusing on
those things that Marty and Doc
experienced during their time in 2015
but just haven’t come to fruition yet or
are not nearly as commonplace as the
film promised us they would be by now
the pitfalls and the possibilities the
perils and the promise
perhaps even an answer to that Universal
question number 10
haier repair change of blood this
classic time-travel flick predicted some
major technological innovations
including advancements in the world of
cosmetic surgery doc brags to Marty
about his visit to a skin rejuvenation
clinic where he received treatments such
as a hair repair and a change of blood
that would add decades to his life while
cosmetic surgery has made huge
advancements since 1985 in the form of
Botox hair plugs and other methods that
can make someone appear decades younger
a change of blood at this point is more
of an emergency life-saving procedure as
opposed to the anti agent technique
proposed in the film number 9 jaws 19 as
Marty walks through future Hill Valley
on his way to the cafe 80s he stops to
take in the view while gazing Marty
stands in front of the hollow Mac’s
movie theater where he is suddenly
attacked by a shark – Marty’s surprise
the shark is a hologram coming out of an
ad for Jaws 19 directed by max Spielberg
of course Mac Spielberg didn’t follow in
his father Stevens footsteps and the
jaws series stopped at for movies
that’s probably for the best we’d still
love to see more 3d hologram billboards
sharks village big number eight accurate
weather predictions everyone may have
pretty reliable weather apps on their
phones these days but they are nothing
compared to the second-by-second updates
that exist in Marty and Doc’s 2015 upon
first arriving in the future the
DeLorean is caught in a torrential
downpour as docklands marty protests
going out in the rain but doc assures
him that the storm will soon be over and
simply looks down at his watch and
counts down the seconds until it lets up
great pie more sense
unfortunately we still haven’t reached
this perfected level of accuracy on
something as unpredictable as the
weather seven upside down back fixing
machine medicine is always advancing but
the real future hasn’t quite caught up
with the contraption that George is
suspended from when he enters the McFly
home according to the film George needs
this machine after throwing his back out
playing golf but it can be assumed that
the real motive behind the dangling
George McFly
is to help mask the fact that Crispin
Glover did not return to play the
character and not you or anybody else on
this planet is gonna make me change my
mind
apparently in this version of the future
the remedy for a bad back is to be hung
upside down in traction from some kind
of floating machine sounds like more fun
than physio number six food hydrators
forget 30 minutes or less the McFly’s
get their pizza in 30 seconds or less
[Music]
thanks to their black & decker hydrator
lorraine pops us silver dollar sized
pizza in and pulls out a full sized pie
big enough to feed the whole family
almost instantly great level but it’s
not just fast food that the film
predicted would speed up the McFly’s
also own a voice-activated retractable
in-home garden center that supplies them
with fruit and vegetables upon request
the future of food was pretty sweet for
the McFly’s but for now we still have to
order in for our Pizza Hut number five
thumbprint keys this one is actually
only a near-miss fingerprint keys are
certainly used in office buildings
private homes and even on phones but the
universality of thumb prints predicted
and back to the future part two is still
yet to be realized
old man Biff uses his thumbprint to pay
for the cab he uses to follow Marty and
Doc everyone 7450 the police officers
that find a sleeping Jennifer use her
thumbprint to ID her how they doin doc
to assess her future and upon entering
her future home Jennifer is shocked to
find a thumbprint reader instead of a
doorknob given the rapidly increasing
move to digital technology from analog
it’s not so far-fetched to think that
this one is on its way number for
affordable shoes with power laces laces
alright
Nike actually did release a limited
edition pair of marty sneakers with
power laces in 2016 they were originally
released in conjunction with the Michael
J Fox foundation which raises money to
find a cure for Parkinson’s disease the
shoes were available through a digital
draw system entered with a $10 donation
while the kids might be wearing them in
the fictional future but in the real
world a pair of these went for thousands
at auctions
hopefully Nike will release a pair that
is widely available in the near future
but until then if you want a pair go
back in time and put some money on the
Cubbies to win the World Series what did
you just say I said I wish I could go
back to the beginning of the season put
some money on the Cubbies number three
self-drying self-adjusting jackets
another item of future fashions still
unachieved is Marty’s jacket when he
first puts on the jacket it’s far too
big for him but after a moment it
quickly adjusts to fit him perfectly
sting doesn’t fit
during a confrontation
Marty jumps into a fountain to avoid the
swing of grifs baseball bat he emerges
completely drenched but with the push of
a button
Marty’s jacket dries itself while a few
working replicas of this jacket have
been made they are sadly not yet a
staple of our fashion number two flying
cars as if it wasn’t awesome enough that
doc made the DeLorean into a time
machine he also makes it fly thanks to
some future tech and is able to go green
with mr. fusion which turns garbage into
fuel flying cars are the standard form
of transportation in the future just
bring in your old regular car to Goldie
Wilson the thirds hover conversions and
get it rigged for flight while a few
highly experimental versions of flying
cars have been invented Back to the
Future Part 2 predicted that by now
everyone would have them now looks like
we’re stuck on the ground for now before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions
I think laughing dear
now this has an interesting feature it
has a dust jacket looks used to have
these to protect the covers of course
that was before they had dust people on
paper
number one hoverboards hoverboard who
didn’t want a hoverboard after watching
this movie however technology is big in
the future so big in fact that it’s even
used in children’s toys as Marty flees
from Griff he borrows a little kids
hoverboard and relies on his old school
skateboarding skills to escape ever
since this film first premiered there
has been an outcry from diehard fans for
the real deal and those hoverboards
scooters definitely do not count a few
companies actually have developed a form
of real hoverboard technology so
hopefully we won’t have to wait much
longer
the only question then will be Mattel or
pitbull thanks do you agree with our
