Would you believe audiences booed this movie when it came out? It is true, let me tell you why.

While BTTF has now gone down in history as one of the best "trilogies" of all time, at the time when part TWO came out, the fact they had also shot part THREE at the same time had been kept a complete secret.

Most of you who read this may not have been alive at the time, so you have to imagine that after "Back to the Future" was a literal sensation when it came out, people were pretty skeptical about a sequel coming out four years after the first could be nearly as good as the original. I only went to see it opening weekend with friends because we'd actually gone to see the first one when it came out in 1985 and had decided to go judge the sequel under the same circumstances.

Overall, the audience had a great time that night watching the movie; that is, until the last few moments. To reiterate, no one knew that Back to the Future part TWO was going to be the middle chapter of a TRILOGY. Despite how positive the audience reaction had been throughout the rest of the movie, as soon as the words, "To Be Continued..." appeared on the screen, the audience turned and started booing! I swear it is true! My friends and I were caught up as well, we booed along with everyone else and walked out bitching about feeling cheated.

In conclusion, despite being the best of three movies, at the time, audiences BOOED this movie the opening weekend because movies rarely IF EVER had "TO BE CONTINUED..." at the end of them! The cultural grudge during the time between the release of TWO and THREE has lost to history after the trilogy as whole became accepted.
