Search through the DVD extras of ‘Back To The Future’ and you’ll come across one of the greatest what-ifs of movie history. The part of Marty McFly was originally played by Eric Stoltz (John Travolta’s drug dealer from ‘Pulp Fiction’), and they shot the movie for 5 weeks before ultimately replacing him with Michael J. Fox. The deleted scenes with Stoltz reveal a dour, contemplative Marty and the whole tone of the movie is off – like watching a Twilight Zone version of a movie you’ve seen 100 times before.

This one casting change completely revamped the voice and quality of the movie for the better.
