The Story Of Martin McFly Makes Marty Consider His Rashness

Martys Inherited Temper Caused His Ancestor Martins Untimely Demise

Since viewers have spent the last hour and a half watching Marty take on Mad Dog Tannen and win, it seems like a foregone conclusion that the fearless antihero will win this drag race, too.

As such, it comes as something of a shock to see Marty sitting pretty at the stoplights while Needles, played by Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Flea, narrowly avoids a collision with an oncoming truck.

However, this scene isnt so surprising to viewers who have been paying close attention to Martys changing personality and, in particular, his interactions with his ancestors.
