Technically,
they re-shot this ending/beginning scene two times and re-dubbed it
two times. First, it was shot for theatrical cut, which we presented
here. Second, they re-dubbed it for TV replacing the lines “We've
become assholes” to “jerks” in both versions. Third, they
re-shot it with Elisabeth Shue and added a reaction shot with Doc
Brown.
They
did a great job recreating the scene.
-The
house on the side is a different color between both versions. I
guess the people next door changed colors between the years. Even
the plants are slightly different. The yard is well kept in part 2,
while in part 1 it is uneven.
-The
car gray is shinier in part one.
-The
Asshole reaction is completely different with an added reaction from
Doc. Very nice addition.
-Shue
has a bigger reaction than Wells. This was something I noticed when
as a child, but I didn't know they were different actresses at the
time.
Claudia
Wells and Elisabeth Shue
Now,
I've heard completely different stories as to the reasons why Wells
was replaced for the sequels. And, I find it amusing that Wells
was the original version of Jennifer to be considered, but second to be hired after leaving the project the first time around. However, Wells
claims that she was the original choice and she was cast after Stoltz. Yes, it gets confusing, but
here you go. From
Wiki, (( According
to Wells, in an interview with Yahoo.com online entertainment series
"The Yo Show," she had been cast, but a pilot she had done
for ABC had been picked up, and she was contractually forced to drop
out of "BTTF." During that time, Eric
Stoltz had
been shooting for 8 weeks with another actress in the role of
Jennifer, but the producers halted filming and replaced Stoltz with
Fox. By then, Wells' pilot had been finished and she was recast as
Jennifer, now shooting alongside Fox, never having filmed a frame
with Stoltz.
))
Now,
I also heard that the other actress was too tall for MJF, so they got
Wells for the part.
Now, I did some digging and found out the other actress that
played
Jennifer was Melora
Hardin
and there are some pictures of her as the character floating around.
She never got to film her scenes.
However,
it appears the real reason for Wells' departure was a family reason.
From Wiki, ((However,
after her mother had been diagnosed with cancer while BTTF was
filming, Wells said family took precedence at the time, and told the
studio she would not be available to reprise
the role for
the two sequels; actress Elisabeth
Shue replaced
her.
))
Having to help nurse my own mother back to health because of cancer wasn't easy. So, I understand.
I think Wells did a great job, but people know I've had a huge crush on Shue for a very long time.
