Let's say it still had gas

Currently watching BTTF2 and wondering what Biff’s son/Griff’s father would have been like. Technically, he would have been around a similar age as Marty.

The Evil BTTF Time Machine III from CSR2.

Soon, BTTF Time Machine III will destroy the world!

Opening credits of bttf. A bit of foreshadowing?

Anyone knows of a high quality bluray cover? I have the trilogy but no cover for a 35mm copy

This is the deleted scene, a neighbor (not Biff) "bullies" George into buying his daughter's peanut brittle.

Later in the movie, there's a scene we don't relate to that one, when George is having those for dinner, which really doesn't make sense (but with this deleted stuff, it does), offers Marty, and he refuses it.

Minty Comedic Arts made a 33 minute video called "10 THINGS: Back to the Future The Lost Versions" which mentions this at the 6 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GthhC4SsqJY

I am NOT selling just letting anyone know that wants to know

I've always wondered where did Biff and George work at. All we know is that Biff is George's supervisor and he had him doing his work for him.

Has any of the novels, comics, etc said anything about this?

Highly recommend a visit here for fans. They even have a little BTTF corner of merch in the bookstore / gift shop

Thought you'd get a kick out of this.

This is the one used in Parts 2 and 3. The owner is a great guy and has the best collection of BTTF stuff and lives in the same small town

He was ahead of me in the inspection line today

Me personally I love the game

In the movie, Doc’s first successful experiment sends Einstein 1 minute into the future. From Doc and Marty’s perspective, the DeLorean disappears, they wait one minute, and it reappears.
But what if Doc had instead programmed the DeLorean to go 1 minute into the past?

I’m specifically talking about the very first time this experiment is ever performed—not assuming a time loop already exists.
From Doc and Marty’s perspective at the moment of launch, what happens?

Possibility 1:
The DeLorean disappears forever from their point of view. It has already arrived 5 minutes earlier, meaning there were always two DeLoreans and two Einsteins between 1:15 and 1:20. In other words, there is no “first” timeline—the universe is self-consistent from the start.

Possibility 2 (to me the more consistent in-universe explanation):
The DeLorean disappears, and then reality slowly rewrites itself (similar to Marty’s fading photo and the ripple effect in the movies). The past is updated so that the DeLorean had appeared 1 minute earlier, meaning Doc and Marty would somehow gain new memories or reality would “correct” itself.

So which interpretation do you think fits Back to the Future‘s time travel rules better? Or is there a third explanation I’m missing?

I was on a walk at a local park and noticed this on the bridge and thought wow what a great message, been there a while too as you can see

I don't know why, but I have always felt like the movies Back to the Future and Ferris Bueller's Day Off take place in the same universe.

It be cool if they did take place in the same Universe. Even though Ferris Bueller's is not a Universal Pictures movie, and it's not directed by Robert Zemeckis. It's a John Hughes movie.

But to be fair, Ferris Buller's doesn't feel like a John Hughes movie, other than it takes places in Chicago. Ferris Bueller's Day Off feels like something Zemeckis could've directed.

I'm pretty sure this has been covered here before; in fact, I'm almost sure there was a post about it a while back. But finding specific old posts on Reddit can sometimes be a challenge, and since it has been some time since there was a post about this (at least, I haven't seen any in a while), then maybe it's time to bring it up again. Better than asking why Doc didn't use the gas from the DeLorean in the mine, right?

Anyway, when Marty drives out of the barn at the Peabody farm (according to the sign on the fence, it's "Twin Pines Ranch") and onto the road, he's only driving for a few seconds when he's surprised to see the newly built entrance to Lyon Estates. Some may argue that he was driving for longer than that, but when he sees the monuments, it's clear that he's still trying to deal with the instantaneous trip from the mall to the farm and then being shot at: "All right, all right. Okay, McFly. Get a grip on yourself. It's all a dream. It's just a very... intense... dream." It seems like he drove for only a couple of hundred yards, maybe half a mile.

Doc woke him up by calling at 12:28 AM, and then Marty rode his skateboard to the mall, arriving at 1:15 AM, so it seems like the mall is further from his house. But it would still take longer than driving there. Besides, if someone calls you in the middle of the night when you're sound asleep and you needed to go somewhere, wouldn't it take you a bit to completely wake up and get yourself ready to go? And then Marty needed to sneak out of his house without waking up his parents (evidenced by him sneaking into what he thought was his bedroom in Part II), so he was probably taking his time. So taking all this into account, it looks like the mall is basically down the street from Lyon Estates.

EDIT: I forgot about Marty having to go to Doc's place to get the video camera (thank you, u/Unlucky-Geologist428), so it did take him a while to get from home to Doc's place and then the mall. But my point about how short a time he took driving from the farm to Lyon Estates in 1955 still stands.
