The original VHS went up for auction with Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas, where a bidding war ensued, with the final bid reaching $75,000. The real-life Biff seemingly had enough foresight to not open his copy of the first Back to the Future, which really makes you wonder if his older self traveled back and time and gave him the tip to begin with. He first listed the tape on eBay - along with some other original movies - but when he realized how big the interest was, he pulled it from the listing and took it to auction. Hearing this immediately brings up two questions: who would pay that much money for a VHS tape and who still had a sealed copy of the original VHS?Īs it turns out, Tom Wilson - aka the actor who played Biff Tannen from Back to the Future - still had a copy on VHS, sealed and untouched. Here’s what you need to know.Īccording to CNN, a new record was set for the priciest VHS tape after a near-mint, sealed 1986 VHS tape of Back to the Future sold at auction. Apparently, it’s worth a whole lot of money right now. And a lot of us are probably kicking ourselves in the butt right now wishing we had a time machine - à la Doc Brown - to convince our past self to keep our original Back to the FutureVHS. This is further supported by old Biff readily stealing Doc's DeLorean time machine in 2015 and using it to make himself rich, pointing to his not being truly happy in his work in auto detailing.As adults, we hope to make good financial decisions to be able to live comfortably and care for our families. That suggests the old Biff might still be bubbling under the surface waiting to get out, and resentful of no longer being the dominant party. The theory is plausible enough and could be slotted into the canon fairly easily, if not for the fact Biff seems genuinely afraid of George, and is also kind of tense in his interactions with the McFlys in Back to the Future's fixed 1985. Thus, Marty's interference ultimately improved Biff's future. Getting the car thoroughly cleaned would've cost a good amount of money, so SatNav believes that instead, Biff did the work himself and along the way discovered he had an aptitude for it.
The theory also suggests this change came about as a result of Marty McFly causing Biff to wreck his car and get it covered in manure. That's a huge improvement by any metric, going from 9 to 5 employee to one's own boss. While Biff is seen getting George's car nice and shiny and it's portrayed like he's now beneath George, there's also a truck in the background that says "Biff's Auto Detailing." That means that instead of working a job he hates and is unqualified for, Biff now owns and operates his own auto detailing business. However, while that's great for George, SatNav's theory suggests Marty improved Biff's life through his actions too. Wilson did not reprise his role as Biff in the initial versions of Telltale‘s Back to the Future: The Game released in 2011, being replaced by Kid Beyond. He never stopped being the meek young man he was in 1955 and has been dominated by Biff and others like him his entire life. When Marty returns to 1985 during Back to the Future's ending, George is quite different, having developed confidence and is no longer under Biff's thumb. He answers to Biff, his supervisor at work, and is forced to do Biff's work and his own. In the original timeline before Marty goes back to 1955, George McFly's life is rather miserable. Yet, according to an interesting fan theory posited by Reddit user SatNav, that's exactly what he inadvertently did by the end of the first Back to the Future. If there's one person Marty McFly absolutely doesn't care about helping during any of his time travails, it's Biff. Related: Back To The Future's Time Travel Explained: How It Works & Is It Accurate? Wilson is so entertaining in the role it's little wonder he returned for both sequels. At the same time, while no one would actually want to know the character in reality, Biff actor Thomas F.

The Tannen family and the McFlys both go way back in the history of Hill Valley, and it seems the two families just never got along - mostly thanks to Biff and his ancestors being huge jerks.īiff, especially in the original Back to the Future movie, is the definition of a character viewers love to hate. The classic 80s sci-fi movie 'Back to the Future' first hit theaters in July of 1985. While Marty and Doc's journey through time often leads them fighting to undo something they unwittingly caused, if the Back To The Future trilogy has a villain, it's definitely Biff Tannen.
