Back to the Future writer: bad guy Biff was based on Donald TrumpScreenwriter Bob Gale confirms long-standing fan theory that Martys nemesis in the trilogy was modelled on the Republican presidential candidate
Back to the Future writer Bob Gale has revealed that the trilogys villain Biff Tannen is based on Donald Trump, putting an end to fan speculation.
In the second film, which was celebrated this week as part of Back to the Future day, Tannen becomes a successful businessman who opens a 27-story casino and, in an oddly prescient touch, uses his money to influence US politics.
We thought about it when we made the movie! Are you kidding? Gale said to the Daily Beast. You watch Part II again and theres a scene where Marty confronts Biff in his office and theres a huge portrait of Biff on the wall behind Biff, and theres one moment where Biff kind of stands up and he takes exactly the same pose as the portrait? Yeah.
