Check out this song he used to play as part of his stand-up routine about annoying Back to the Future fans. Wilson does have a good sense of humor about the never-ending legacy of Biff, though. Hugh Coles (George McFly), Aidan Cutler (Biff Tannen), and Rosanna Hyland (Lorraine Baines-McFly). ![]() Imagine strangers yelling out, “Hey, Biff!” whenever you leave your house, or asking you to call them a “butthead.” There is nothing successful actors fear more than typecasting, and Biff cast a long shadow over Wilson’s career that was hard to escape, even though he was excellent as the gym teacher on Freaks and Geeks and is now a part of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Back to the Future (1985) became an instant classic when it was released in 1985. The Biff Tannen Museum ticket appears briefly on screen as Marty learns about this new future, where his father was killed and his mother was forced to marry. He was also the only key cast member not interviewed for a documentary that came with the Blu-ray box set. Even in October 2019, when the calendar finally hit the date that Marty and Doc traveled to in the second movie, he didn’t emerge for any of the celebrations. He’s the third most-important actor in the three movies, after Fox and Lloyd, but he has been reluctant to take part in reunions like this over the past couple of decades.

However, the vast majority of the audience did not understand it, so we decided to cut it out, leaving the answer ambiguous, and subject to various interpretations - besides the above explanation, you can believe that Old Biff had a heart attack from the shock of time travel of from flying the car, or from something that happened to him in 1955.Josh Gad staged a virtual Back to the Future reunion on his new Reunited Apart YouTube series this week, and the turnout was pretty amazing. Robert Zemeckis revealed that it was cut because it was simply too confusing: ".we actually filmed him falling onto the street and vanishing, and we previewed the movie this way. The deleted scene in question showed him literally disintegrating, as he'd been killed off in 1996 by Lorraine when she discovered he killed George ( according to the official BTTF FAQ). The film actually initially showed some awareness of the issues of the paradox, as Biff's pain would have been explained by him fading out of existence in the future timeline. ![]() ![]() Nothing more is said of it and he's never seen again. Weirdly though, he gets out of the time machine as if he's been kicked in the testicles - hunched over and in clear discomfort.
