20 Movie Sequels That Are Totally Flawless
16. Back To The Future Part II (1989)
Despite not quite reaching the iconic highs of its predecessor, Back to the Future Part II is a perfect continuation of Marty McFly and Doc Brown's dangerous, time-bending adventures.
Really a movie in three chapters, the film follows Marty and Doc as they venture into the future to save Marty's kids, and then shifts focus to the unprepared duo as they make their way back home and find it a lot different to the way they left it. A witty and hysterical race to save the space-time continuum ensues.
Ludicrously funny and anchored by the iconic performances of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, it's much darker than what came before, but just as daring and wonderfully self-aware. Its scope expanded, it's a follow-up of pitch-perfect vision and intelligence, and proves a worthy successor to the 1985 classic that spawned it.
