Back to the Future Part II includes an appearance by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, but it isn’t actually him in the film. Considered one of the best sci-movies of all time, Back to the Future is still as relevant and beloved today as it was when the first movie was released in 1985. The second installment in the Back to the Future franchise was well-received by both audiences and critics, delivering on the difficult mission of following up an instant classic.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Back to the Future Part II sees its main characters, Marty, played by Michael J. Fox, and Dr. Emmett “Doc”, played by Christopher Lloyd, travel to the future in the DeLorean. Like its predecessor, Back to the Future Part II utilizes cameos and fun special appearances. While not every cameo in the Back to the Future movies has any impact on the overall story, they are still one of the best and most beloved things about the franchise.
