Back To The Future 2 was made in 1989 I believe.
Robert Zemeckis' idea of how the future would look like at 2015 was honestly amazing. But how accurate were his predictions?
Well it's 2008 and I think it's safe to say Zemeckis was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off!
But how off is he?
Flying cars
Last time I checked all cars were still running on the ground. Having flying cars would be awesome and certainly help with traffic congestion in major urban areas such as Chicago or New York City. But I think Al Qaeda killed any dream of flying cars. Thanks Al Qaeda.....ya dicks
Will it or won't it?
It won't
Jaws 19
I guess this was supposed to be a parody of the ongoing Jaws sequels they were making at the time. However I think they stopped shortly after BTTF II was made.
If any movie franchise has a shot at making 19 films one would think the frontrunner is Friday The 13th, Halloween, or Nightmare on Elm Street. Wait, the American Pie franchise makes a new movie once every like three weeks now.
Will it or won't it?
It won't
Hoverboards
Fuck man, if there was anything I wanted from BTTF II it was a hoverboard. I remember reading years later that there actually was a hoverboard.
Alas though, this was not true at all. I bet that a company can make one today but they won't...mind you we still have 7 more years to see a hoverboard come out, but dont bet on it.
Will it or won't it?
......ahhh I say it won't, but I hope it will
Cubs win the world series
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sure these is another 7 seasons of baseball for this to happen, but who are we kidding? It's the Cubs...I mean they might get close and maybe even get to a world series, but they are not going to win shit. If a guy came up to me and said he was from the future, and all I had to do was put down 5 bucks on the Cubbies at the beginning of say like the 2011 season and that I could turn it into 500, I would say no thanks I don't believe you, I'd rather use that 5 bucks to get a combo number three from Taco Hell..errr Bell.
Will it or won't it?
I think you will see a hoverboard before you see a "Cubs World Series Champs" t shirt.
Baseball in Miami
Amazingly they got this one right??? Well kinda...
See Marty sees a bulletin that says Chicago defeats Miami. Now we all know Miami has had a team for quite some time now and they have won two championships, but it remains to be seen if they will win one in 2015. If they do does this mean Robert Zemeckis can actually see the future?
I would say no because if he did then he wouldnt have sunk money into a movie project called "Bordello Of Blood".
ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
Will it or won't it?
It has already happened...someone ask Zemeckis the numbers for this years powerball lottery asap.
Power Laces and Self Drying/Fitting coats
I am willing to bet somewhere in Japan they have these items. I really think they do...
Self fitting coats would just be convenient as hell as would power laces. When you think about it, power laces dont actually look like they take a lot effort to make. I can see Lebron James wearing a pair of these by 2015. But if he didn't have the plastic pastel blended hat then he would just look "un-cool".
Will it or won't it?
It so will happen by 2013
Biffco Enterprises becomes the richest company in America
Seiously any guy who can incorporate his first name into his company title is a guy who has balls. Plus Biffco just sounds fucking awesome!
I think this could be a stretch as Microsoft from what I hear is a company that has done pretty good over the past few years.
Now I am not a "wall street" kind of guy, but from all accounts Microsoft seems to have this locked up...
Unless Biffco invents and sells the hoverboard!
BOOYAH!
Will it or won't it?
I hope to god it does happen....
So yeah, the "future" as it looked in 1989 is very much not like what it was supposed to be in Zemeckis' mind. But it's always good to dream and believe...
Cubs win the world series....oh shit that's priceless
