Was Harrison Ford really in Back To The Future?

[Pitbull]

Can we get confirmation on this that this is indeed Harrison Ford?

 

[terryr]

Doubtful. He's doing a practical stunt. Maybe Terry Leonard.

Here's a video back in 1990 of the backlot tour which shows the set of bttf part 2 and during the ride the speaker mentions harrison for dis indeed the jeep driver.Put the video to 3:05.

Universal Studios Hollywood Tram Tour circa 1990 - Part Two - YouTube

It looks like Harrison to me :confused

Quick google.

According to the commentary on the DVD, with Bob Gale and Neil Canton, the guy driving the jeep is Walter Scott, the stunt co-ordinator (I just listened to it). Could they have been wrong? Possibly. But they're the freaking Producers, and according to the commentary, they're the ones that hired him, so since there happens to be a close up of the jeep driver in the film, I would say they're probably correct in their identification. Mystery solved. And for the record, the guy looks nothing like Harrison Ford, so I get the feeling the OP didn't even check this one for accuracy.

I take the producers over the tour guide.

Um....no.

I can't count the number of incorrect things I've heard come out of the mouth of Universal Studios Tour Guides.

Sort of related, wasn't Ford one of Elliots' teachers in ET? Or the principal? Scene was cut, of course, but I seem to remember that.

It can't be Ford, there is no scar on that guys chin/lower lip area.

Yes but you never see his face.

Steven Spielberg appears at the end of the Blues Brothers and John Landis is the motorcycle messenger in 1941.

 

[Noeland]

That certainly isn't Ford in that photo.

Yup, that's the giveaway.

BTTF was 85, ToD was 84...so here's a ToD screencap of what Harrison would have looked like:

See? Chin scar....

God, the taper on that fedora crown is cringe-worthy...

 

[YenChih Lin]

AFAIR from the extras of the BTTF Trilogy set, it was the stunt coordinator in the photo.

AHH! I found it, seems my memory still serves well: Walter Scott - Futurepedia - The Back to the Future Wiki

:lol It's TOD what do you expect?! :lol

Looks like Peter Weller.

 

[Knightjar]

Looks like Peter Weller.

That was my first thought too!

 

[aeonpulse]

yeah, seriously, the guy driving the jeep looks nothing like Harrison.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

yeah, seriously, the guy driving the jeep looks nothing like Harrison.

:behave
Whoever thought this could really be Harrison needs to take a break from computer use as thier eyeballs have clearly been burnt out!

 

[Contec]

He looks more like steven spielberg than harrisson..

 

[allosaur176]
