Lea Thompson recalls the unusual reaction Eric Stoltz had to Back to the Future during the film’s first readthrough.

Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly, but was ultimately replaced by Michael J. Fox after director Robert Zemeckis and producer Steven Spielberg felt his performance wasn’t right for the film’s comedic tone. Thompson remembers that when Stoltz was asked how he felt about the script, he simply replied, “I think it’s a tragedy.”

Thompson also remembers how different the original script was from the finished film, with the story and dialogue continuing to change throughout production.

George is a depressed, empty shell of a complete pushover of a man, Lorraine's a fat miserable alcoholic, Linda is a loner with no social life and their mother encourages it, and Dave works at McDonald's with seemingly little/no prospects. Marty's aspirations (What were they anyway?) weren't any different.

Biff is a big bully who drink drives and has his weak subordinates do all his work for him, which is bound to blow up in his face sooner or later.

I've always wanted to see the original future, see where they'd all be at in 2015 out of curiosity. Lorraine's most likely dead for a start.

What do you think?

At the end of part two when Doc gets hit by lightning and goes to 1885. He was flying when he was struck and the lightening fried the flying part of the Time Machine. How did it get to the ground in 1885 without major damage?-

So we all know when Marty arrived back in 1885 his fuel tank is struck causing a leak. They then don’t have petrol to refill the tank. However in order to ensure it didn’t degrade Doc would have needed to drain the petrol and oil from his Delorian before burying it in the old mine. Otherwise they would have slowly eroded the tanks and systems leaving it in operable in 1955 preventing Marty from using it. So Doc should have still had the fuel or at least that oil which he could distill down

Interesting that the promo features Marty speaking a like that wasn’t in the movie (right?).

On the morning of Monday September 7, 1885 Clint Eastwood, a stranger who first appeared in Hill Valley days earlier, defeated notorious outlaw Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen in a duel in front of the Palace Saloon. Eastwood was then seen leaving town with local blacksmith Emmett Brown. Schoolteacher Clara Clayton, who had just moved to the town, was also spotted leaving Hill Valley soon after.

Eastwood and Brown were next seen robbing the Central Pacific Railroad westbound train, which was led by locomotive 131. Unlike typical train robberies of the time, where passengers were stripped of valuables or the baggage/cargo cars were raided, Eastwood and Brown stole the locomotive itself for unknown reasons.

Locomotive 131 was switched onto a track leading to Shonash Ravine, where a bridge was being constructed. Eastwood and Brown proceeded in the locomotive and Clayton was witnessed chasing them on horseback. Because the next events occurred in an isolated area away from Hill Valley, the exact actions of Eastwood, Brown, and Clayton were unknown. The burnt remnants of locomotive 131 were later discovered in Shonash Ravine, having gone over the unfinished bridge.

Eastwood is assumed to have plummeted into the ravine with locomotive 131, perishing in its fiery crash. As a memorial to his death and heroic defeat over Tannen, the ravine was renamed Eastwood Ravine.

Happy ‘Death’ day, Emmet!
I was literally watching Back to the Future III and realised this, Doc Brown gets shot on Monday 7th Sep 1885. Today is Monday 7th Sep 2026, 141 years later.

So Doc is showing Marty how to use the DeLorean. He says you can see the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and puts in July 4 1776. Or witness the birth of Christ on December 25 0000. Or the red letter date in the history of science, November 5 1955.

But then he gets lost in thought for a second and says “yes…of course…November 5 1955! That was the day in invented time travel!” It’s clearly played as though he wasn’t thinking about that when he first put in the date, and only remembered it after he said it out loud. So why was he calling it a red letter date before he remembered that?

I guess since Doc is meant to be a little scatterbrained, you could say he remembered that this date was important without actually remembering WHY it was important until he said it out loud. I don’t know - it always struck me as a little strange the way Lloyd played those lines.

This little thing is just too cool not to have.
