Back to the Future: Greater Scott Edition

This is the edit I've been wanting to see ever since owning the DVD box set and watching the deleted scenes, satisfying my life-long curiousity about that damn bowl of peanut brittle at the dinner scene. Whilst watching this cut is an editing lesson in itself (did we really need to know why George overslept? Not really, and the way the 'Darth Vader' scene is cut in the original seems extra judiciously done now, in hindsight), overall you can never have too much Back to the Future. Bobson's done all us fans a huge favour by providing this extra-length cut of one of the greatest movies of all time.

I love Back to the Future and consider it one of my favorite films. That being said I'd never seen any of the deleted scenes. Turns out they are a goldmine Bobson thankfully tapped into for this edit. The scene where Doc is setting up the wire over the street and the police officer comes and asks if he has a permit, and Doc slips him a $50 and the officer says "better not light anything on fire this time" might be the funniest gag in the movie! I cant believe it was cut out, its hilarious. This edit is worth watching for that scene alone

This is definitely a worthwhile edition. For starters, I used to rely on a specific user or to to color correct certain movies, and have always been happy with the outcome. However, the color correction (on the original elements) on this far exceeds any others that I have found. It was visually appealing to the eyes. In addition, the insertion of the deleted scenes definitely added both character and much needed context to the film. It's a shame they weren't in there from the beginning. The only bad part of it is that the inserted elements are of different quality and not as refined, but that's the problem with the source material and by no means the fault of the editor. Don't let that let you enjoy it any less. A highly recommended and worthwhile edition to see.

A technically flawless extended cut of a great film. Obviously some of the deleted scenes are in noticeably bad quality, but that's not on the editor.

Great Scott! This is a must watch for BTTF fans. Though some of the reinstated scenes are not as good quality, this was awesome to see all the cut scenes in the film. Another excellent job by Bobson!
