LOS ANGELES TIMES, November 22, 1989
* Best "Back to the Future Part II" advertisement
* Grand Opening Day movie premiere review
* Science-fiction adventure comedy film
* Michael J. Fox - Marty McFly
A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "Back to the Future Part II" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
Note: Where else might one find authentic, poster-size ads for Opening Day showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection? It simply doesn't get any better! In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).
The front page section F has a review of the film headed: "Future II': Back to the Bank" with related photo. (see) And perhaps more significant is the terrific, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see). Other nice movie advertisements as well.
A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content.
Complete with all sections (80+ pages), great condition.
AI notes: Back to the Future Part II (released in 1989) is the science-fiction adventure sequel directed by Robert Zemeckis that continues the story immediately after the original film, with Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) traveling from 1985 to the then-futuristic year 2015 to prevent a catastrophe involving Marty’s future family. The film is notable for its imaginative depiction of future technology—hoverboards, self-lacing shoes, flying cars, biometric payments—and its darker, more complex narrative, which introduces the villainous Biff Tannen’s alternate 1985 after he steals a sports almanac and amasses wealth by gambling. This dystopian timeline, inspired in part by classic cautionary tales about power and corruption, forces Marty and Doc to revisit and cleverly intersect events from the first film, blending time-travel paradoxes with visual ingenuity. Though initially divisive for its unresolved ending and tonal shift, Part II has since been widely reassessed and praised for its ambition, technical innovation, and influence on pop-culture visions of the future.
