As the day Marty McFly traveled in his DeLorean from 1985 to 2015 in Back to the Future II draws near, Universal Pictures continues to tease the films futuristic setting.
The studio released a trailer for Jaws 19, a movie that was playing in theaters when Marty arrived in Hill Valley on Oct. 21, 2015. Even in the mid 1980s, the film was clearly making a jab at the amount of sequels popular movies inspire and the trailer continues the joke, showing how much more absurd the franchise became with each installment.
The Jaws trailer isnt the only way Universal is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future. Theyve also released a special 30th anniversary Blu-ray of the trilogy complete with a short film featuring Christopher Lloyd reprising his role as Doc Brown and made the movies available to stream for free on Amazon Prime in the month of October.
Pepsi is also releasing Pepsi Perfect, which was the drink of choice in the utopian pre-Biff got the Almanac future Marty visited.
From a cyber Jaws attack in Jaws 7 to the unforgettable battle with Russian shark Ivan Sharkovski in Jaws 15, its clear the future Marty traveled to had some of the best pics cinema had to offer.

Remember Jaws 9 with both John Travolta and NIcolas Cage? It was like Travolta traded places with the Shark due to a face surgery and Cage voiced the Shark? He had to go to a Shark Prison and something went wrong and the only person who knew who he really was is Travolta? Good times.

Man, I am getting so annoyed with these movies that are being split into two parts. It's just a cash grab. Jaws 12 Part 1 included so much filler and dragged at parts. Most of the action didn't start until Part 2. Then they had to reboot the franchise? Seriously? I've had enough of that. Though, I admit that, Jaws 18 did manage to include some important details from the original novel that the first movie missed.

Are you going to ask why there are so many James Bond movies? the Jaws movies are part of our culture. For god sakes, an I the only one looking forward to the spin-off Jawsnado?

Jaws 15 is by far my favorite so far. Seeing a russian shark and an american shark fighting over the consumption of humans was awesome.

I miss the good old days of Jaws 13. Simpler times.

People don't give Jaws Origins the respect it deserves. I thought George Clooney killed it as Brody, and Seth Rogan's Hooper was brilliantly subtle.

I can't believe you like Jaws 15!! How can you say is that a good film?? So terrible script! The casting was AWFUL. And please, don't make me talk about the director... what was James Cameron thinking about???

Everyone knows that it's the Fast & Furious franchise that is going to have 19 films, not Jaws.
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
I think the Sharknado films should have the secondary title "Jaws 15" and "Jaws 16"
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Or Star Wars. I can't wait for the sing-a-long soundtrack and Broadway musical on ice.
R2D2 and CP30 singing Hakuna Matata is the zenith of Western civilisation!
Clearly, you haven't seen the Star Wars Holiday Special.

There's nothing more awesome than Bea Arthur dancing with a Rodian while she's singing.

The longest I've ever sat in a movie theatre was when I watched "LOTR: Return of the King".

I knew Jennifer was played by Claudia Wells in the first film and then by Elizabeth Shue in the 2nd and 3rd film.
I just now realized after looking on IMDB that George McFly was not played by Crispin Glover in the 2nd and 3rd film.
Heck of a lawsuit over that minor omission.

Glad you asked that actually, as Crispin Glover is clearly one of those who does know the answer, and he's been chatting to the Opie and Anthony Show to explain just why he never returned.
Before he got to that, he touched on the fact that he appeared in Back To The Future Part II without his consent, and how unhappy he was with that. "They had taken the moulds of my face", he said, "from the old age make-up from the original movie and put another actor into prosthetics that were made from my face, and interspliced with a very small amount of footage of me from the original movie in order to fool audiences into thinking I was in the movie", he recalled. This led to a Crispin Glover winning a lawsuit that prevents such a thing happening again.
