Back to the Future screenwriter Bob Gale has asked Universal Pictures to destroy a censored version of the sequel after it was streamed on Netflix in the US.
Gale has since blamed the edit on Universal, who “somehow furnished Netflix an edited version of the movie”.
The cast of Back to the Future recently took part in a virtual reunion for a special reading of iconic scenes.
“FYI, Netflix does not edit films – they only run the versions that are supplied to them,” he continued.
