The fact that they were supposedly so far away and made it their mission to turn around and gallop all the way back to where the man resided shows that this was a serious matter to them.

Though Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is facing a struggle to get back home, there’s another struggle occurring in the movie between his father, George (Crispin Glover), and town bully, Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson).
