About this deal

He filed a lawsuit against the producers in response to this, and won – meaning that from now on no actor’s likeness can be used in a film without their consent. 57. Oh La La! And yes, there’s something of a paradox in the fact that Biff can create a timeline that destroys himself and yet still have that timeline exist – but firstly, the film explains later that it’s a divergent timeline (not a replacement one); and secondly, that’s kind of part of the point, given that the working title for the second film was actually Paradox. 46. The Clue While most of the news stories shown in the papers Doc finds at the library – including the 1973 Wounded Knee Occupation – are genuine events, there’s one false one on the edition that tells of his being committed in 1983: that Richard Nixon is seeking a fifth term as US president, and that the Vietnam war is still going on eight years too late. Given that the diverging point for this reality revolves around Biff’s success, we can only imagine what he did to make those wider world events happen. 53. A Fistful of Dollars Note also the name of the director: Max Spielberg. That’s the real name of Steven Spielberg’s first son, who was born in 1985 – but unlike fellow famous-director-offspring like Jason Reitman and Max Landis, he never followed his father into filmmaking. 35. Blast From The Past

I mean, look, this is Den of Geek. Do we really need to tell you that when Marty’s in front of the mirror he’s paying homage to Taxi Driver and the Dirty Harryseries (specifically Sudden Impact)? Or that the latter is yet another Clint Eastwood reference? No? Good. 81. The hole in Doc Brown’s hatThe Doc’s original house – which Marty doesn’t know the location of, presumably due to Riverside Drive being renamed John F Kennedy Drive by his time – is recognisable (to fans of a certain kind of architecture) as a historic landmark in Pasadena, called the Gamble House. It was designed by the architects Greene and Greene, and is a prime example of the Arts and Crafts movement.

Yep, that’s Huey “Power Of Love” Lewis with the megaphone, judging Marty’s band The Pinheads as being “too darn loud” to perform at the school dance (a line that Lewis himself purportedly suggested). A bit harsh, given that it’s his song they’re covering, but there you go. In 2021, the time machine was added to the Library of Congress's National Historic Vehicle Register. [1] Operation [ edit ] The DeLorean's barcode license plate was on the car for all three films, and over a span of 130 years in movie time. This is rather ironic considering the original license plate, OUTATIME, barely stayed on for five minutes and didn't even make one trip through time. One explanation for this could be that the first license plate was not properly contained with the flux dispersal field, and so became "dislodged" during temporal displacement. By the time of the second license plate with the barcode, Dr. Emmett Brown may have adjusted for this problem. Coincidentally, upon the destruction of the DeLorean, the barcode license plate came off and spun on the ground like the first plate did.De Santis, Solange. "Steven Spielberg Builds a Time Machine" in Popular Mechanics, August 1985, pp.84–87, 132. It might just be a coincidence, but the Hawaiian shirt the Doc changes into in 2015, with a train pattern all over it, could well be a deliberate reference to the time machine that he would eventually build at the end of the third film. Especially as the trains look like they’re flying among the clouds, just as the Doc’s train does… 42. USA Today During the second film, because of Biff Tannen's tampering [12] following his theft of the DeLorean, the time circuits began malfunctioning, displaying January 1, 1885, in the destination time display. A bolt of lightning triggers the malfunction to send the DeLorean from 1955 to 1885. Though the vehicle was in mid-air, the spin created by the lightning bolt allowed it to reach 88mph. Doc is trapped in 1885 and repairs were impossible because the time circuit control microchip, which governed the time circuits, was destroyed by the lightning bolt, and suitable replacement parts would not be invented until at least 1947. Doc places repair instructions and a schematic diagram in the time machine to enable his 1955 counterpart to repair it using components from that era — which included vacuum tubes — before boarding it up within a silver mine. He then writes Marty a letter explaining the situation and places it in the custody of Western Union, with instructions to deliver it to Marty in 1955.
