  • "The future…"

  • Wow, they got that totally wrong. If you didn’t already know, weve officially

  • reached the future from Back to the Future Part II.

  • "We're descending toward Hill Valley, California at 4:29pm on Wednesday, October 21st, 2015."

  • "2015? You mean we're in the future!?" That movie was made almost 30 years ago!

  • Wow, I feel old. Yeah, the real 2015 isn’t quite what I imagined

  • back then either. That’s why were counting down these 10

  • Things Back to the Future Part II Got Wrong.

  • Number 10: Flying cars Nope!

  • Could you imagine what a bad idea that would be?

  • Yeah, the only thing worse than traffic in LA would be throwing that mess up into the

  • sky. Speaking of sky, what’s that?

  • Huh, I don’t know. It looks likeRain.

  • In California. They sure got that one wrong.

  • That takes care of number 9. Now on to number 19!

  • You mean Number 8? No, I mean 19. As in Jaws 19.

  • Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous. As if movies would have that many sequels.

  • Unless youre talking about Harry Potter. Or Fast & Furious. Or James Bond.

  • Number 7 Hey, you know that part where the kids say:

  • "You mean you have to use your hands?" "That's like a baby's toy!"

  • Yep, that kid was Elijah Wood. And they were wrong. Elijah Wood isn't a kid in 2015. He's

  • like 34. Number 6!

  • Ring ring. Hello? Who is this?

  • The phone booth you use in your daily life in 2015.

  • Click. Hey, since there aren't phone booths anymore,

  • where does Superman change? Number 5

  • Please, no, I cannot be fired! I’m fired! Ah!”

  • A world under the influence of Donald Trump? No Matt. In the 80s, people thought that Japan

  • would soon dominate the world. Yeah, all throughout the future scenes, you

  • see the influence of Japan. The Japanese boss.

  • Marty's Rising Sun neckties. Doc Brown's shirt.

  • Kimonos. But a decades-long recession in Japan put

  • a stop to that. Yeah, it ended up being just a silly xenophobic

  • fear. Because in reality it's China that's going

  • to swallow up the world! Ok, Number 4.

  • What are you talking about? Are you kidding? When's the last time you

  • sent a fax? Just last month, to the Chinese Embassy. That's

  • the only way to communicate with them. Ah, I guess China is living the future of

  • the 80s.

  • Number 3, the fashion "Pull out your pants pockets. All kids in

  • the future wear their pants inside out." Really, all the fashion.

  • All of it. Number 2

  • "The justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've abolished all lawyers."

  • Nope! There are twice as many lawyers per capita in 2015 as there were in 1985.

  • Except in China, where they just throw the lawyers in jail.

  • And now Number 1 “Look what happens to your son!”

  • Hahahaha, people actually get their news from newspapers!

  • Oh man, they got that totally wrong.

  • So most of the things they thought we'd see in 2015 were way off.

  • Way, way off. Way.

  • But there were some thing they did surprisingly predict. So check out our other video, "10

  • Things Back to the Future II Got Right."

  • So what does this have to do with China Uncensored?

  • Uh...America Uncensored?

  • Uh...This is totally not America Uncensored.

"The future…"
