'Back to the Future' stars Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox reunite at New York Comic Con panel
foxnews.comMichael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd had a few heavy conversations after reuniting following a roaring round of applause for the "Back to the Future" stars during a panel discussion at New York Comic Con.
The actors first worked together on the 1985 hit sci-fi flick directed by Robert Zemeckis, a time traveling tale which has since earned the title as one of the greatest films ever made with two sequels, a musical, theme park rides and more in its multi-million dollar franchise.
