Fans of BackToTheFuture were irate when they discovered 1989's 'Back to the Future: Part II' was changed. Screenwriter Bob Gale explained what happened
Back to the Future: Part IIFans of the series were irate when they discovered a tiny portion of the 1989 sequel was changed, poorly. It has since been replaced with the standard version. The alteration happened when Marty finds themagazine within the sports almanac dustcover. The moment was cut short, the cover of the magazine edited out. Gale, the screenwriter of the beloved trilogy, explained what happened and why it was not Netflix's fault.
"The blame is on Universal who somehow furnished Netflix an edited version of the movie," Gale said. "I learned about it some ten days ago from an eagle-eyed fan, and had the studio rectify the error. The version now running is the uncensored, unedited, original version." He continued, "Apparently, this was a foreign version which neither director Robert Zemeckis nor I even knew existed, for some country that had a problem with themagazine cover. I asked that the studio destroy this version. FYI, Netflix does not edit films — they only run the versions that are supplied to them. So they're blameless. You can direct your ire at Universal, but I think they will be a lot more careful in the future — and with 'the future.
