Quotes
I said to [director] Robert Zemeckis that if the characters had a monetary reward, then the film had a bad moral to it. I felt that the characters should be happy with finding love at the end of the film, but it ended up that the moral of the story was that money can buy you happiness. Robert Zemeckis became very angry and that led to me not doing the sequels.
