Trivia: Many people think Crispin Glover reprised his role as George McFly for part II, but it's a different actor who had facial prosthetics applied to look like Glover. These prosthetics were made from actual molds of Glover's face left over from part I. Glover never authorized his likeness to be used and sued. The Screen Actors Guild now has laws against "unauthorized mimicking" of other actors as a result of the lawsuit. Crispin Glover is listed in the credit for part II only as "archive footage"
