10 Uncharacteristically Competent Actions By Dumb Movie Characters
4. Biff Uses Gray's Sports Almanac To Get Rich (Back To The Future Part II)
Biff Tannen was not only a complete and utter idiot, he was also a pretty horrible human being (which could somewhat be put down to his lack of intelligence, but that's clutching at straws). Throughout the Back to the Future series, he bullied both Marty and George McFly, whilst also proving on several occasions that he was as dumb as a brick - getting covered in manure, saying phrases incorrectly (thats about as funny as a screen door on a battleship and make like a tree and get outta here). He also had an ironic habit of knocking on peoples skulls whilst saying hello? Anybody home?! However, although it wasn't the most moral thing to do, he proved he had a brain in Back to the Future Part II. When the Marty McFly from 1985 was in the year 2015, he purchased Grays Sports Almanac - a book detailing the results of major sporting events from 1950 to 2000 - in order to use it to make money on bets in the past. When Doc Brown told him that doing so would be very dangerous, he binned it. However, old Biff Tannen spotted it, figured out what the DeLorean was for, and travelled back to 1955 to give his teenage self the book in order to become rich - and it worked. Whoever would have thought that Biff was capable of such a scheme?
