The “lousy” 1980 movie Michael J Fox compared to a frat party: “I was just happy to be there”A certain time-travelling DeLorean sci-fi comedy was yet to transport Michael J Fox to superstardom at lightning speed way back in 1980. “So it said Michael J Fox on the call sheet I picked up at wrap each night that summer, or more accurately, each morning,” Fox recollected in 2002’s Lucky Man: A Memoir autobiography. “True to its title, Midnight Madness turned out to be an endless series of all-nighters: six weeks of almost exclusively night shoots. It turns out that the festive air on Midnight Madness wasn’t just down to the youthful grab at a good time, but also a nagging feeling of having to make the best of it. While Midnight Madness bombed, Family Ties awaited around the corner and the path to Robert Zemeckis’ immortal time-travelling comedy.
