Did this movie inspire "Back To The Future"?


Do you believe that the skateboard stunts and chases in this movie inspired "Back To The Future"? Example: A skateboarder being chased by bullies in a car and causes them to get into a accident.

Skateboarding was wery popular in the 80's. I don't think the two movies were relate in this, just the use of skateboard was wery common at time.

I totally agree. You'll see this again with the resurgence of skateboarding again, that the 2 movies are probably in no way related.

I see this topic went dead years ago but I just had the need to bring it back up. I am a huge fan of Back To The Future, and last night was the first time I ever watched Foxes, unless I had a total memory failure from back then until now.
I was in awe when I watched the skateboard scene.

Now I know skateboarding was very popular back then but the way it was played out was strikingly the same as BTTF, or I shall say vise versa being that Foxes came out a few years before BTTF.

I just can't recall seeing other movies with a similar scene, so I do feel that Foxes did inspire it.

Maybe BTTF needed a cool skateboard stunt so they hired the same guy from Foxes to do his best move.

Yeah, they're dead; they're--all messed up!

I reckon that the guy was choreographed the skateboard stunt for Foxes did the same for BTTF.

Its that man again!!

I believe it adds up!
