Back To The Future fans got a welcome surprise on Wednesday when the film’s stars Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd reunited for a special surprise.
The 62-year-old actor-turned-activist and the 85-year-old Taxi actor joined forces on Instagram to launch a giveaway that was likely to tempt fans.
Michael and Christopher both shared photos of themselves signing a still from the 1985 classic, which launched two blockbuster sequels.
‘Great Scott! You can win a Back to the Future signed poster by your favorite duo!’ they captioned their identical Instagram posts. ‘Shop any of our products now until June 1st for your chance to win.’
Fox, who put on a united front with his longtime wife Tracy Pollan last month at the Time 100 Gala, showed off a determined grin for the camera while relaxing on a black leather sofa to sign the small poster.

He was fitting dressed in a black Back To The Future Part II T-shirt with his and Christopher’s characters recolored in vibrant, comic book–like hues.
He also rocked a set of distressed jeans and sported a distinguished salt-and-pepper goatee.
Christopher also advertised their Back To The Future merchandise with a black long-sleeve shirt and jeans.
He was hunched over the poster to add his signature after Fox had already signed it.
The business-themed meet-up was the latest reunion for the Back To The Future stars after they caught up with original costars Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson in February of last year at Oregon’s Fan Expo Portland.
Fox starred in the films as the rebellious high school Marty McFly, while Lloyd played his odd scientist friend Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown, who invents a time travel device that he installs in a rare customized DeLorean car.
Thompson appeared in a dual role as Marty’s alcoholic mother in the 1980s present, as well as a fresh-faced version of the character from the 1950s who unwittingly falls in love with her son after he travels back in time.
Wilson provided much of the suspense and comic relief as the dim-witted bully Biff Tannen, who became the boss of Marty’s meek father.
The film, which was directed and co-written by Robert Zemeckis and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, proved to be a smash success.
It was a hit with critics and grossed an astounding $388 million against a budget of just $19 million, and it cemented Michael’s status as a Hollywood A-lister following his early success on Family Ties.

Fox and Lloyd have continued to collaborate on projects in recent years.
Fox would go on to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the early 1990s, though he wouldn’t share the diagnosis until 1998.
Since then, he has devoted his efforts to activism on behalf of people afflicted with the disease, and he has consistently advocated for finding a cure for Parkinson’s.
Fox, who has said he is retired from acting, has shut down talk of a Back To The Future reboot while still staying in the public eye.
