VIDEO: Eric Stoltz Stars as Marty McFly in Back to the Future

It has always been one of those classic cultural nuggets that wonky film geeks like to trot out at parties: "Did you know Eric Stoltz was originally supposed to play Marty McFly in Back to the Future instead of Michael J. Fox?" Well yes, you probably did. Now, though, in conjunction with the release of the 25th Anniversary DVD/Blu-ray collection of Back to the Future (due in stores on Oct. 26, which would count as the 24th anniversary), you can actually see Stoltz-as-McFly walking through the streets of Hill Valley. The results are...disconcerting? Bizarre? Like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs? Decide for yourself by watching the clip after the jump.
