Mac and Me Music

[Blurry Bigfoot 5]

After years of Paul Rudd showing the classic clip of a kid falling off a cliff while in a wheelchair on Conan, from Mac and Me, I broke down and watched the movie. One thing I couldn't shake was during the scene where the alien and kid in the wheelchair are being chased by the government guys, the song sounded real familiar. It turns out that Alan Silvestri, the guy who composed the theme song for Back to the Future also composed the song accompanying said scene. The thing is, he actually ripped off his own song 3 years later for Mac and Me.

 

 

Here's the Back to the Future song from 1985

The similarities are impossible to mistake. This move truly is a pile of hot garbage, yet I want to watch it again.

Mac and Me is like the Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo of movies: It's just a piece of shit that keeps on giving.

I am shocked it was the same composer, because I was doing situps on the ground during that chase scene and first young Marty McFly or whatever the kid in the wheelchair was named, does a very Marty-esque hitching of a ride by hanging on to the back of a truck. Then the music kicked in which I noticed immediately, so I began wondering if this movie was just a sharknado of bullcrap from other more successful movies.

 

Now I'm upset the world never got the sequel(s) it deserved. For all we know the sequel would have them trying to travel home, but the plot and its devices would just mirror the plot of back to the future and marty trying to get home, god that would've been amazing
