Picking up where the first film left off, Doc Brown urges Marty McFly and his girlfriend Jennifer to travel with him to 2015 to help their future children as Marty Jr. will be arrested for robbery with Biff's grandson Griff. After taking in a futuristic Hill Valley, Marty endures a hoverboard chase and Griff gets arrested. Marty then purchases a sports almanac, which Biff takes possession of. Jennifer is disappointed to see what the future holds after visiting her 2015 home. Returning to 1985, Hill Valley resembles a 1985 Times Square. Marty and Doc realize Biff time traveled to give the almanac to his younger self to become a multimillionaire, killed George McFly and married Lorraine. When Biff tries to kill Marty, he travels to 1955 with Doc. Marty follows Biff to the dance, eventually retrieves and destroys the almanac. He then receives a Western Union letter from Doc, who has been transported back to 1885 from the lightning strike. When Marty tells a 1955 Doc this news, he faints, having just helped the other Marty return to 1985.
Back To The Future Part II was not initially in the cards, but after the incredible box office success of the first movie, development began on a sequel. Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Thomas Wilson would return while Claudia Wells and Crispin Glover would not, due to family illness and contract negotiations respectively. Principal photography began in the winter of 1989 and Michael J. Fox would once again pull double duty filming this and Family Ties. Back To The Future Part II didn't quite make the same splash at the box office (or with critics) as its predecessor due to its somewhat confusing plot. The set design for 2015 Hill Valley was quite impressive however, though we're still waiting on those floating hoverboards.

The house that Marty stands in front of across the street is actually on Universal Studios' Colonial Street. It's undergone major changes since filming and was later used as Bree Van De Kamp's house on Desperate Housewives (2004-2012) (Thanks to Marcus Morris and to Robert Patterson of Set-Jetter for the information). A photo from thestudiotour.com shows how it looked during filming...
It then cuts back to Bushnell Avenue, where Biff throws the ball onto the second story porch of 1803...
