Grays Sports Almanac: Back To The Future 2

Product Information

In the original timeline, Biff bullies George endlessly (when they were children and adults) but in the alternate timeline when George is successful, Biff has stopped being a bully. He has parlayed his love of cars into an auto detailing business, and the McFlys are part of his customer base. By 1985, Biff would continue to bully and intimidate George, and they both ended up working for the same company, where Biff became George's supervisor (due to George doing all Biff's work for him to get promoted). Because Biff was too lazy or stupid, or both, to do his own reports, he forced George to do them instead. Biff's crush on Lorraine never died either, even after she had married George. I didn't know about Biff's deleted scene where he fades out of existence. Because of that, this has become my point of view:

George seemed amused at Biff's efforts to get away with as little work as possible (although Biff's comment about already doing two coats of wax on the car may have been a personal good-natured joke between him and George) though he and Lorraine privately credited him with unwittingly helping them get together. George and Biff appeared to have become friends, or were at least on amicable terms. Biff seemed to be genuinely excited when George's published novel was delivered, suggesting that he at least was happy for his old victim.On October 21, 2015, Marty McFly, who had time traveled from 1985 to 2015 in Dr. Emmett Brown's DeLorean Time Machine, happened upon the book and fantasized about knowing the scores before they occurred to make money. When Dr. Brown found the almanac, he immediately discouraged Marty from using it or the DeLorean for financial gain. As Doc was about to place the book in a mobile trashcan called a Litter Bug, he saw police officers Reese and Foley investigating Jennifer, whom he had earlier tranquilized and left in an alleyway. After the officers went away, Doc threw the book into a traditional stationary trashcan and walked off. Unbeknownst to Marty or Doc, Old Biff Tannen had been listening to the conversation all along, and he had discovered the existence of the time machine. However, Biff followed Doc and Marty to Hilldale in a taxicab, then stole the DeLorean while they were distracted in trying to rescue Jennifer from the future McFly residence. Marty McFly: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean? Biff still seemed to like harassing people, including Marty (whom he thought was Marty's future son), and the handle on his cane was in the shape of a closed fist, which he used to rap people on the head because his own hands were now too feeble to hit anyone hard — although he remained cautious and apprehensive around George McFly. Biff's crush on Lorraine still lingered, as he told the young man, "Say hello to your grandma for me." In an interview with the official BTTF Club magazine, Thomas F. Wilson speculates that Biff's grandmother was probably the primary reason Biff grew up to be such a jerk. He also claims Biff's signature "Butthead" and "Hey, McFly" quotes were mostly his ideas.

Old Biff lest 1955 before young Biff had started to use the Almanac, or even realize its potential, so old Biff was ale to beat the ripple effect in the time machine to 2015. Remember that in the first movie, it took about a week for Marty's accidental change to the timeline to catch up with him, and that was thirty years of "new time". Now Biff has effected a change sixty years in his own past. If the ripple effect were linear, old Biff (and the original 2015) should hang around for about two weeks before changing. Whoa. Wait a minute, Doc. Are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me? Woah this is heavy.” In the original timeline, Biff started bullying George McFly when they were kids and never stopped. On their first encounter at high school in 1954, George had a hero sandwich rubbed into his face by Biff after Dale Carnegie's claim in his book How to Win Friends and Influence People that a man cannot remain hostile if one showed one was sincerely interested in him proved somewhat ineffective. [3] When old Biff then returned to 2015 from 1955, shouldn't he have arrived in a way-different 2015? Instead, he arrives in the same 2015 that he departed, where Doc and Marty are still running around as if nothing changed.Biff was shown to act like a milder version of his original "asshole-ish" 1985 incarnation. It would appear his obsequious act in front of George and Lorraine was simply that, an act. Biff was generally difficult to get along with (Though not impossible) and sometimes causing trouble. He had returned to wearing a crew-cut like he did in 1955.

The film's writer, Bob Gale spoke to this question in a Q&A session for the Official BTTF magazine. The short answer is that his pain was caused by having changed the future enough to erase his own existence. According to the readout on the time machine controls, Old Biff spent several hours in 1955 after giving his younger self the almanac and before returning to 2015. It remains unclear as to whether he was doing a spot of nostalgic sightseeing, if he had to wait until it got dark before retrieving the DeLorean from wherever he hid it in 1955 (possibly to avoid being spotted and shot at by the police), or both. On October 26, 1985, Doctor Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) arrives from the future and tells Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) and girlfriend, Jennifer Parker (Elizabeth Shue), he needs help to save their future children from getting into serious trouble. As they depart, Biff Tannen (Thomas Wilson) accidentally witnesses their departure. They arrive on October 21, 2015, where Doc electronically hypnotizes Jennifer and leaves her incapacitated in an alley. Meanwhile, Doc has Marty pose as Marty McFly, Jr., Marty's future son, to refuse an offer from Biff's Cybernetically-enhanced grandson, Griff Tannen.

Doc Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor? Then who’s vice president? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady.” Biff like the rest of the Tannen family bullied people to get what he wanted. It is fair to say he wasn't intelligent during his youth, as he constantly got his metaphors incorrect and he had to force George to do his homework for him to pass his high school classes.
