Magnum P.I. on Back to the Future II
Yesterday I was watching the second chapter of the BTTF Trilogy and at almost at the end of the credits it says "Magnum P.I. extracts © Universal" or something like that.
I don't remember any MPI reference in that movie.
Does some of you guys know more about this?

Funny. I'm not very familiar with the sequel - doesn't hold a candle to the original. It's probably an unnoticeable tv in the background in a scene. Likely just done to avoid a lawsuit. But I haven't seen the movie in years, so I could easily be wrong.

If you want to watch it again, check Cafe 80's and pause periodically. It may either be something on screen or a prominent piece of memorabelia.Styles Bitchley wrote:Funny.

The first one is a "classic", absolutely enjoyable. It sets the theme, the ideas are in there.
But the second one, with its twists and perfectly elaborated plot, and seen-from-another-point-of-view scenes from the first is a true fun to watch!
As for lawsuits, it seems unlikely to me, since BTTF movies are from Universal too.
Next time I see this movie I got to pay more attention to the background stuff!

Haha, very close Magnum T, you almost have it. But, we'll leave it at that ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Speaking of the movie, here are too hilarious things I'd like to share.
The Biff Song - Thomas F Wilson's stand up song about people still bothering him about his "Biff" Character

Theme Song Parody - A take on the theme song of the movie. Very well done I must say. This guy has done this with other movies.

'Back to the Future' is probably my all-time favourite movie. I can actually compare it to MPI as in there's something for everyone - comedy, drama, romance, action... it's all there.
The first one is the classic, but personally I was a little disappointed with the second one. There was just too much going on, and it was too complicated for it's own good. I guess it's hard to get nostalgic about the future!
The third one is better though, and wraps the series up nicely.
Anyway, I don't recall seeing MPI in Part II - maybe it ended up on the cutting room floor.
