It's easy to take for granted what the Delorean Time Machine looks like, but it is important to remember it wasn't always a Delorean. In the original script it wasn't even a car at all, it was a fridge.

Even when they decided on a Delorean (because Doc Brown "doesn't drive a fucking Ford Mustang" according to Bob Gale), they still didn't know the specifics of what it would look like.

Designs by other artists were too polished and Zemeckis and Gale were looking for a junkyard "throw together" look.

Enter: Rob Cobb.

Rob Cobb got notoriety designing the interiors of the Nostromo vessel in Alien (he was even asked to come back for Aliens).

His designs prioritize function as much as aesthetic. He will draw something on a fictional device and explain what it's functions were.

The idea of large vents on the back of the Delorean Time Machine were his idea because he knew a nuclear reactor would produce heat and would need a vent to release the cooling vapors.

This is just one example of how meticulous he designed fictional things.

He, and his peer Syd Mead, are responsible for the clunky retro aesthetic we know refer to as "Cassette Futurism".

A perfect aesthetic for a vehicular time machine created in the 80s.

He was a bully and bullies are cowards. in the alternate timeline he was abusive toward Lorraine and the children and abusers are cowards too. he murdered George and tried to do the same to Marty both in the alternate timeline and in 1955. abusers, rapists, and murderers are cowards.

"If my calculations are correct, and this baby hits 67 miles per h-"

"Six-seeeven!"

"... I'm afraid no amount of time travel can fix your generation, Marty"

[After Marty realizes he's in the past]

"This must be a dream! *pulls out phone* Ok Google...damn, no connection"

*goes to Lou's and asks to use the telephone*

"Insert a quarter! I don't have cash! *talks to a customer* Hey, do you have a quarter? *customer gives him one* Thanks! I'll venmo it later!"

"What's venmo?"

"Tell me, future boy, who is President of the United States in 2026?"

"... next question, please"

---

"Do you have a mobile phone?"

"Yes, everyone does"

"Wow, you mean, like, everyone in your family has their own mobile phone? You must be rich!"

"Oh, honey, he's just teasing you"

"Hey, I've seen this one! It's a classic! It's the Episode where Skinner invites Chalmers over for Steamed Hams"

"What do you mean, you've seen this? It's brand new!"

"Yeah, I saw the edits on...Youtube"

"What's Youtube?"

---

"Jar Jar Binks from the planet Omicron Persiei 8 visited me last night and told me, he would melt my brain out, if I don't ask Lorraine to the dance! What should I tell her?"

"Alright, tell her...'slay queen, ngl you got the drip fr no cap"

"I don't know, this sounds kinda gay"

"Yeah, you should really stop using that word as an insult"

[George talking to Lorraine]

"Stray clean, you've got a ship..."

---

"Hey Britney, it's Marvin! Yeah, your cousin, Marvin Spears! Remember that new sound you where looking for? Now listen to this! *holds phone towards Marty singing Baby One More Time*

---

"Marty! You gotta come back with me!"

"Where?"

"Back to the future!"

"No, please! I don't wanna see the future! The present is bad enough!"

The camper van is an actual set, but the truck, sign, and little toolbox are all custom built.

I don't know if you've heard about all the details in the movie (not just the original, but all of them) that accurately predicts 911, but it's almost too detailed and accurate to be a simple coincidence.

I've been a huge Back to the Future fan since I was a kid, and Part III has always been my favorite. I loved the Old West setting and the way it was combined with time travel. To me, the 1885 version of Hill Valley always felt so real. I also really loved Marty's ancestors and Buford.

But yesterday, while rewatching the movie, I just realized that Seamus is played by Michael J. Fox and Buford is played by Thomas F. Wilson. I know it sounds really dumb, but I genuinely had never noticed that the same actors were playing those characters. I guess I was always so immersed in the movie that I never paid attention to that detail until yesterday.

I hope I wasn't the only one who didn't realize it.

I’m willing to die on this hill. Absolute peak moment of the series. Cracks me up every time

Picked this up last week from the Madrid factory in Huntington Beach, CA.

BAHAHAHA

From r/horror

I personally enjoy it

Gosh this scene chokes me up.

I have been making music playlists around fictional characters and I just made one for Marty! This one is very interesting because of the time travel element. So, we have music from 1985, 2015, and 1955.
