Elisabeth Shue in Back to the Future Part II
No stranger to cast replacements, this. Eric Stoltz was famously replaced early in the shoot on the first BttF with Michael J. Fox, and Crispin Glover was replaced by a guy in a Crispin Glover mask for the sequel, leading to litigation and new industry rules. Also in BttF2, Marty McFly’s girlfriend, originally played by Claudia Wells, was replaced with Elisabeth Shue. The second movie got the lowest score (63%) and then bounced back with Part III‘s 74%, though neither hold a candle to the first’s 96%.
