The film was produced on a $40 million budget and was filmed [[Back to back film production|back to back]] with its sequel ''[[Back to the Future Part III|Part III]]''. Filming began in February 1989, after two years were spent building the sets and writing the scripts. ''Back to the Future Part II'' was also a ground-breaking project for visual effects studio [[Industrial Light & Magic]] (ILM). In addition to [[digital compositing]], ILM used the VistaGlide motion control camera system, which allowed an actor to portray multiple characters simultaneously on-screen without sacrificing camera movement.
''Back to the Future Part II'' was released by [[Universal Pictures]] on November 22, 1989. Though the film received mostly positive reviews

Marty burns the almanac, nullifying the changes to the timeline that it had caused, as Doc hovers above in the time machine.

[[Elisabeth Shue]] replaces [[Claudia Wells]] as Jennifer Parker and [[Jeffrey Weissman]] replaces [[Crispin Glover]] as George McFly,
Griff's gang in 2015 includes [[Ricky Dean Logan]] as Data, [[Darlene Vogel]] as Spike, and [[Jason Scott Lee]] as Whitey. [[Stephanie E.

[[Donald Fullilove]], who played Goldie Wilson in the first film, makes an uncredited appearance as his hovercar salesman grandson Goldie Wilson III. A young [[Elijah Wood]] is one of the two boys Marty teaches to play ''Wild Gunman''.
In the alternate 1985, [[Al White]] portrays the patriarch of the family living in the McFly house. [[Neil Ross]] provides the voiceover for the Biff Tannen museum while [[George Buck Flower|Buck Flower]] reprises his role as Red the Bum.
Line 94:
The greatest challenge was the creation of the futuristic vision of Marty's hometown in 2015. Production designer [[Rick Carter]] wanted to create a very detailed image with a different tone from the film ''[[Blade Runner]]'', wishing to get past the smoke and chrome. Carter and his crew spent months plotting, planning, and preparing Hill Valley's transformation into a city of the future.<ref name=featurette /> Visual effects art director John Bell said that they had no script to work with, only the indications that the setting would be 30 years into the future featuring "something called hoverboards".<ref name=up />
When writing the script for ''Part II'', Gale wanted to push the first film's ideas further for humorous effect. Zemeckis said he was somewhat concerned about portraying the future because of the risk of making wildly inaccurate predictions. According to Gale, they tried to make the future a nice place, "where what's wrong is due to who lives in the future as opposed to the technology" in contrast to the pessimistic, [[Orwellian]] future seen in most science fiction.<ref name=making /> Gale has stated that the characterization of the 1985A Biff took inspiration from [[Donald Trump]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Lee |first=Benjamin |date=2015-10-23 |title=Back to the Future writer: bad guy Biff was based on Donald Trump |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/oct/23/back-to-the-future-writer-bad-guy-biff-was-based-on-donald-trump |access-date=2024-03-03 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077 |archive-date=December 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201206082502/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/oct/23/back-to-the-future-writer-bad-guy-biff-was-based-on-donald-trump |url-status=live }}</ref> To keep production costs low and take advantage of an extended break Fox had from ''[[Family Ties]]'' (which was ending its run when filming began), it was shot [[Back to back film production|back-to-back]] with sequel ''[[Back to the Future Part III|Part III]]''.<ref name=back>{{cite web|url=https://
==Production==
Line 107:
[[Crispin Glover]] was asked to reprise the role of [[George McFly]]. He expressed interest, but could not come to an agreement with the producers regarding his salary. He stated in a 1992 interview on ''[[The Howard Stern Show]]'' that the producers' highest offer was $125,000, less than half of what the other returning cast members were offered. Gale has since asserted that Glover's demands were excessive for an actor of his professional stature at that time.<ref name="timeflies" /> In an interview on the ''[[Opie and Anthony]]'' show in 2013, Glover stated that his primary reason for not doing ''Part II'' was a philosophical disagreement on the film's message; Glover felt the story rewarded the characters with financial gain, such as Marty's truck, rather than love.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcG61w474zY |title="Back to the Future" Conspiracies, Alternate Endings, & Lawsuits with Crispin Glover |via=[[YouTube]] |date=June 6, 2013 |access-date=June 7, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016213140/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcG61w474zY |archive-date=October 16, 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>
Rather than write George out of the film, Zemeckis used previously filmed footage of Glover from the first film as well as new footage of actor [[Jeffrey Weissman]], who wore [[Prosthesis|prosthetics]] including a false chin, nose, and cheekbones to resemble Glover. Various techniques were used to obfuscate the Weissman footage, such as placing him in the background rather than the foreground, having him wear sunglasses, and hanging him upside down. Glover would also learn from Weissman that the molds created from his face to make the aging prosthetics for 1985 George McFly in the first film were reused to make the prosthetics for Weissman's portrayal. Unhappy with this, Glover filed a lawsuit against the producers of the film on the grounds that they neither owned his likeness nor had permission to use it. As a result of the suit, there are now clauses in the [[Screen Actors Guild]] collective bargaining agreements stating that producers and actors are not allowed to use such methods to reproduce the likeness of other actors.<ref>{{cite interview |last=Glover |first=Crispin |subject-link=Crispin Glover |interviewer=[[Simon Mayo]], [[Mark Kermode]] |title=Crispin Glover on Back to the Future 2 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q7wGsVYydo |via=YouTube |work=Kermode & Mayo |publisher=[[BBC Radio 5 Live]] |location=London |date=February 2011 |access-date=April 11, 2011 |archive-date=October 16, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016212931/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q7wGsVYydo |url-status=live}}<!-- This clip was uploaded by the official account of the BBC Radio 5Live program.--></ref> Glover's legal action, while resolved outside of the courts, has been considered as a key case in [[personality rights]] for actors with increasing use of improved special effects and digital techniques, in which actors may have agreed to appear in one part of a production but have their likenesses be used in another without their agreement.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/back-future-ii-a-legal-833705 | title = 'Back to the Future II" From a Legal Perspective: Unintentionally Visionary | first = Eriq | last = Gardner | date = October 21, 2015 | access-date = May 12, 2020 | work = [[The Hollywood Reporter]] | archive-date = May 10, 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200510224933/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/back-future-ii-a-legal-833705 | url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/22/20927032/cgi-digital-actor-replacement-cinema-gemini-man-the-congress-rogue-one-legality | title = Cinema's Digital Impostors Are Coming | first = Charles | last = Bramesco | date = October 22, 2019 | access-date = May 12, 2020 | work = [[The Verge]] | archive-date = April 20, 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200420013246/https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/22/20927032/cgi-digital-actor-replacement-cinema-gemini-man-the-congress-rogue-one-legality | url-status = live}}</ref>

Wells returned to acting with a starring role in the 2008 independent film ''Still Waters Burn''. She is one of the few cast members not to make an appearance within the bonus material on the ''Back to the Future Trilogy'' DVD set released in 2002. However, she is interviewed for the ''Tales from the Future'' documentaries in the trilogy's 25th anniversary issue on [[Blu-ray Disc]] in 2010. Wells
