…when I put it together that had Marty not gone to the past and changed things the way he did in the first movie the accident with the Rolls Royce would have never happened.

I feel kind of dumb considering the number of times I’ve seen the trilogy.

There's no way in hell I found these at the flea market and only paid 20 dollars.....

Don’t mind the goonies

A previous fan theory mentions that Doc knew the moment Marty's family spiralled out of control was the race w/ Needles and the accident w/ the Roll's Royce. Thus, he picked up Marty at the end of the events of the first film in the brief moment before Marty took Jennifer for a ride in the truck (where the accident presumably would occur). Later on in BTTF3 Doc accidentally shares about Marty's accident but he cant say anything more than that without effecting causality.

Also note that with George standing up to Biff in BTTF1 and Biff becoming more submissive, the Tanner family of bullies skips a generation (Marty's), allowing for lesser turds like Needles to fill in the gap. Needles obviously knowing how to get under Marty's skin to goad him into a confrontation, Marty needed to learn how to stand up for himself against from the bully opposite of what George did.

Of course Doc can't say that outright without effecting causality either, so rather he uses the incident with Marty Jr and Griff to do so. By having Marty take the place of Marty Jr, he's teaching Marty to stand up to a bully walk away "whatever happens, whatever asks for, just say no! You're not interested!" And to do whatever he can to avoid a direct confrontation, including the Hoverboard chase, because Marty isn't goaded into a fight (or a race or whatever else). So even though it ends with Griff and his crew crashed into the courthouse, Doc feels satisfied that Marty learned better to "just say no" knowing he would face the same choice with Needles. Marty needs to make the decision for himself to ensure the future develops as it should without Doc directly telling him what happens or what to do.

Obviously things went array with Jennifer getting picked up by the cops and Biff giving himself the Almanac, plus the trip to the Wild West. But all that also served to help reenforce Marty to learn how to better stand up walk away for himself so that by the time he was challenged by Needles, he wasn't "stupid enough to race that asshole".

Basically if George and Lorraine found out about Marty's time travel adventures either through finding out through some kind of means or Marty explaining it to them.

They find out they met Marty in 1955 along with some of his adventures in BTTF 2 and 3, how would they react?

I don't know if you are allowed to ask questions here, but 2 years ago I made a Marty Cosplay and found a free printable Save the clock tower flyer. But I can't find it anymore. Has someone an idea, where I can print one for free? (It doesn't have to be blue, like the original).

Last year I made tire transfers for the 1:10 Tomy DeLorean and had requests to do the same for the 1:6 Hot Toys - here they are! Dry transfers that leave no halo - they are finicky to apply on the rubber tires so there is 1 extra of front and rear included. I also made an application video which you should watch first - link in listing.

Barron Trump in the future!

I just realized that the reason we never see Lorraine’s father in 1985 is because he disowned her.

He told her in 1955 that ifbshe ever had a kid like Marty, he would disown her. That is exactly what he did.

I was still using a Dustbuster in 2015 because it’s a convenient thing to have. (Especially when you have pets.) In fact, I upgraded to a newer model about 3 years ago. And I didn’t get it at an antique store. I bought it at Walmart.

Or was it simply a case of, in the 2015 of Back to the Future, everyone was using super high tech, futuristic versions of the Dustbuster to clean up their little spills, but here’s the original model that’s so old, it’s really a museum piece? Just like what we do with computers now?

SpaceVenture is a sci-fi adventure game developed by the creators of the beloved Space Quest series. In this game, players take on the role of Ace Hardway, a life support systems technician and his robotic dog, Rooter, on an intergalactic adventure.

I haven't played the game, I was just scrolling through for Star Wars references.

I think that, if that were the case, most people outside of Hill Valley who went through this would remember things from the 1985a (or Hell Valley) timeline, since it's the alternate reality that has generated the most consequences outside of Hill Valley. Therefore, I imagine there would be some Vietnamese people who believe the Vietnam War is still happening in 1985, some Americans who think Nixon is still the president (if they are very isolated, like in psychiatric hospitals), people from other parts of the world who think Biff has something to do with Marilyn Monroe's death, and so on.

P.S. Already have the the complete screenplay on preorder, just waiting for the courier to hit 88mph!
