FILM NOTES

Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment released Back to the Future Part II in November 1989, continuing one of the decade's defining science fiction comedies. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film expanded the original's mythology by sending Marty McFly and Doc Brown into a then-imagined 2015, offering a playful and visually inventive portrait of the future that has only grown more culturally resonant with time.

This cell, titled Griff and Marty, captures a tense interior confrontation between Griff Tannen and Marty McFly, likely staged within the Cafe 80s set. Griff's metallic jacket and Marty's varsity-style top are both clearly visible across the three consecutive frames, preserving a single charged moment from one of the film's most memorable sequences.
