He seemed to be a big part of Marty's life. He was responsible for Marty ending up in that accident with the Rolls Royce, until Marty decided not to race the asshole.
I noticed that one of Needles' gang members is played by JJ Cohen who played Skinhead in the first two movies. Is that gang member supposed to be Skinhead's son?
I wonder how Needles ever managed to find himself a woman. He's a jerk and a really ugly guy. He must have played the nice guy act on her and didn't show his true colors until after the wedding. I hope his daughters aren't as ugly as him.
I wonder what he thinks of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I know he likes Huey Lewis and the News. I bet that when Needles pulled up, Marty was thinking "Why does that asshole have to like the same music as me?"
That was exactly how I had Marty react in my stories! :) I figured one of the members (either Ox or Hammer, I haven't decided which) must be Skinhead's son. I also figured that the other would be Data's father (Raymond "Rex" Unger).
I had Data's grandfather (and Rex's father) be the main bully in 1946. I didn't really plan on taking the Unger lineage any farther than that, but then D J scales took interest in the Ungers - so I guess Biff's gang was the only gang of bullies to not have an Unger in it. Even Rufus (the one that tickled Marty's feet in Alternate Part III) from Buford's gang is an Unger.
It's so ironic that the only story where I really fleshed out the members of Needles' gang was in Marty's Torment 2, when Needles plans to tickle Marty's feet.
You know, now that I think of it, I haven't really thought of who the members of Cliff's or Miff's gang would be. I guess neither of them have an Unger in it, either.
Maybe the sons of 3D and Match can be in Miff and Cliff's gangs.
Yeah, I haven't really thought of what their names would be. Skinhead's name is apparently Joey, though.
In Needles' gang, there is the guy who played Skinhead, the guy who played Data, and one of the guys in Buford's gang. Maybe the third guy in Needles' gang can be the great-great-grandson of the guy in Buford's gang that isn't Billy Needles or Rufus Unger.
