Iko 'Jitz' Fujitsu, Marty's Boss in 2015: McFly, I was monitoring that scan you just interfaced. You are *terminated*!

Iko 'Jitz' Fujitsu, Marty's Boss in 2015: And you cooperated!

Marty McFly: What am I gonna tell Jennifer?
Us critic-type people are always shaking our heads and telling everyone that movies aren't thrill rides, but I think that "Back To The Future II" is one of the few exceptions. If the original film had the spirit of the 1950s, then this has the spirit of the 80s: full of fights; chase scenes; cliff hangers; special effects; some detective work; and of course the vision of the high-tech future.
