It's the second film where we see Biff's true genius shine through, of course. He's a small businessman trying to catch a break-he's literally head over heels about his awesome new matchbooks as the second film starts, a small thrill any entrepreneur can recognize-while his decadent overlords sneer at him from the porch. Biff, meanwhile, has to work hard to get everything he has-your heart has to go out to the guy as he's waxing the McFlys' car, really putting his back into it as they heckle him about the quality of the job he's doing. Think back to the end of the first film, when Biff has supposedly been "put in his place." Marty has changed the present to ensure that his father is a best-selling author, a privilege that ends up gifting the Oedipal brat a giant, gas-guzzling truck.
On the other, you have a self-made entrepreneur, a go-getter who uses the time machine not to take his mom out on dates but to become one of the great job creators in American history.īiff has been characterized as a "bully," but he's really a high achiever from an impoverished background, a hard-edged rascal who was raised by his nagging grandmother because his parents weren't around.
#BIFF TANNEN MOVIE#
On the one hand you have a whiny Oedipal brat who the movie unfairly (and probably racistly) credits with inventing rock and roll and a creepy old man who spends his nights hanging out with (probably) underaged high school boys in deserted mall parking lots when he isn't palling around with literal terrorists. I was confused because TV's Andy Levy posited this as some sort of bold contrarian stance, when I thought it was just commonly accepted that Biff is, in fact, the hero of that series. Still, I was a bit taken aback by the following tweet from TV's Andy where is your "biff is the real hero of ‘back to the future'" piece i can't find it And we don't even have hoverboards yet! SMDH.
As Allahpundit noted at Hot Air, the entire Content-Industrial Complex dedicated itself to churning out takes and listicles about Back to the Future Part II, a very mediocre movie, because yesterday was the day Marty McFly went into the future in that movie. I know part 3 is either hit-or-miss around here, but I freaking love part 3, mostly bc of Biff.Yesterday was a very weird day on the Internet. He is extremely funny at times, ruthless at others, and was able to be serious and light-hearted in the same scene. From his mannerisms to the way he delivers his dialogue, I think it is all brilliant. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but Mad Dog Tannen in part 3 is my favorite, especially now that I've done a few trilogy marathons in my middle years. On to part 2, old-man gramps 2015 Biff makes his 1st appearance in the cafe 80's, followed immediately by young, future-2015 Griff with a few short circuits in his bionic implants, then later in part 2 we meet alternate-1985 Biff at "Biff Tannen's Pleasure Palace and Casino" (I used to be scared of this Biff when I was a youngster), and then finally in part 3 we meet Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. We are introduced to older and fatter 1985 Biff (with great make-up, even in 4k) at the beginning of part 1, then we meet young and handsome high school bully 1955 Biff, then at the end we meet humble and loquacious middle-aged 1985 auto-detailing Biff.
Wilson killed it in every single scene he was in. Biff is my favorite character, by a long shot.
