There have been rumors and theories floating around the Internet for years that Eric Stoltz does, in fact, appear in the final version of BackToTheFuture
to try and track down some answers. The theory that Stoltz appears in the film took off years ago when fans began posting videos to YouTube which they said proved the accomplished actor, or rather a part of him, appears in the final cut. The theory: That is actually Stoltz's fist that punches Biff Tannen in the cafe.
"Editor Harry Keramidas who cut the scene pulled his notes, which show that the punch was reshot, but the printed takes were labeled 'OK' as opposed to 'Good," Gale told. "So that could still be Eric's fist. I think the only way we would know for sure is to check the actual edge numbers on the negative, but no one will risk damaging the negative by doing that.The workprint edge numbers might reveal the truth, but no idea if that even exists.
What's more, Keramidas discovered there may actually be a second moment Stoltz appears in the final film during the skateboard chase, which is set off by the punch. Gale explained, "After Marty jumps over the hedge, there's a shot of him from behind approaching the pedestrians coming down the courthouse steps. It could be Eric, or it could be Per Welinder who did Fox's skateboarding, or it could be Bob Schmelzer who was Eric's skateboard double.
Gale himself even has a tiny cameo of sorts, he revealed. "My hand is in the movie, albeit in the yellow radiation suit glove," he said. "When Marty stops the car at the 1955 billboard, the time displays go out, and he whacks them in a closeup. That was done on the insert stage with a skeleton crew, so I put on the glove and did the shot." was a massive critical and box office success, which seem to cement its place in pop culture almost immediately.
