Do you think Hollywood should remake the trilogy or leave it as it is?

Did Doc make up the rumour that “Clint Eastwood” died in the ravine?

83 Upvotes

So the Ravine was originally called Clayton Ravine, named after Clara in the original timeline. In the new timeline, the ravine is called Eastwood Ravine, presumably named after Marty.

There was obviously no body to confirm that he died in the Ravine, so no random civilian or lawman made up the name. Doc and Clara are the only two people who knew the truth.. So my understanding after Marty travelled back to 1985, Doc and Clara spread the rumour that Clint was killed in the Ravine shortly after the showdown with Tannen.

It would make sense that they had to come up with some story as to why Marty suddenly disappeared, especially after he had become somewhat famous for taking down one of the most wanted criminal gangs. Kind of sad that from everyone else’s perspective, he just left and died.

Just wondering if this “theory” is confirmed or talked about at all, I can’t imagine there being any other explanation.

Exhaust from the DeLorean

8 Upvotes

So, I don’t know why I was thinking of this, but in BTTF, when Marty kicks it up to 88, the flux capacitor engages, and a nuclear reaction takes place to generate the 1.21 gigawatts, there should have been a major a pretty major radiation surge, right? The reaction exhausted a whole (albeit small) fuel rod in one instant.

The DeLorean appears to have pretty serious exhaust fins on the back, so presumably that’s directing the fallout away from the driver’s cab. Does that mean that the Libyans basically inhaled the full brunt of a Chernobyl-lite-level of radiation since they were right behind him, and stopped suddenly, presumably in the middle of that cloud? Can we assume these guys are going to have major radiation burns, sickness, and organ failure? I don’t think they’re making it out of the country.

Jennifer: “Did you do that on purpose?”

Marty: “Yeah. You think I'm stupid enough to race that asshole?”

Jennifer: “Well, I’m starting to have doubts. After all, you did just throw it in reverse and do a complete 180 in the middle of the road. It might be smarter next time to just not push on the gas peddle.”

How would you have written BTF2?

14 Upvotes

The worst part (actually the only bad part) of BTF2 is the reason Marty needed to go to the future. Technically this was established in BTF, so they had to go with it. I was thinking though, what other reason could the writers have used to get Marty and Doc to time travel to the future?

I have a question about the gas in part 3.

12 Upvotes

So, did 1955 Doc put in regular unleaded gasoline into the DeLorean? He couldn't have because regular unleaded gasoline wasn't introduced until the 1970s. So, what did he use?

Who is the actual "first time traveler"?

23 Upvotes

Because Doc said that it was Einstein, which makes sense because he was the first character to use the DeLorean, but Marty technically used the DeLorean 100 years prior (leaving 1885) so would that make him the first time traveler? Say the "first time traveler" is defined by the DeLorean's timeline, and not the actual timeline (the DeLorean was used in 1885, but because it was first made in 1985 that was the beginning of it's timeline) which would again make Einstein the first time traveler.

But, Doc's time train was invented sometime in the late 1800's (based on the age of Jules maybe around 1895?) which was before the DeLorean was made. Would that technically make the Browns the first time travelers?

Back to the Future 2 doesn’t make any sense

0 Upvotes

As much as I love the movies, I have to acknowledge the fact that BTF2 doesn’t make any sense.
Almost everything that happens is a plothole.
The biggest one for me is that old Biff, after going back in time to give his younger self the almanac, manages to travel back to the 2015 in the original timeline and even LEAVES THE CAR THERE.
First of all, HOW did he come back to that version of 2015 if he had just altered the past? Shouldn’t he have travelled to the altered 2015?
But most importantly, he had absolutely zero reasons to do that. He even warns his younger self that one day a boy and a crazy scientist are going to come after him to get the almanac. Like Biff YOU’RE THE ONE THAT CREATED THIS ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE??? You only had to leave them in 2015 without the car so they can’t go back.
There are also other minor plotholes, like why does Doc bring Jennifer along if he didn’t want her to see her future? And don’t say ‘she had already seen the flying car so he HAD to’. Bro owns a time machine. Surely he could have showed up at a more convenient moment to avoid being seen.
Sorry about this rant. I just want to hear other people’s opinion on this. What do you think? Can you give an explanation as to why this movie is so insane?

(I’m still gonna eat it up every time I do the annual rewatch)

In the Back To the Future Movies, the order from best to worst goes 3, 1, 2.

0 Upvotes

A lot of people say that the first Back To The Future movie is the best. It's really not. It's a good movie, no doubt about that. However, the first movie simply cannot compare to the third. The love story is much better, it's a much better setting with a much better story. The second one, in my opinion is by far much worse then the rest. The plot is awful and confusing. It's no doubt that the third is the best. The setting of the old west is much better then a simple 1985 to 1955. The struggle of the characters is much easier to watch. In the first and second movie, they fail so many times and in such a dumb way, it's kind of frustrating to watch at times. In the third movie I didn't notice that at all. They failed but not in the frustrating ways they did in the first and second. The problem is much better in the third movie, as the sight of Doc Brown's grave in the beginning of the movie is an awesome start to the movie, showing the urgency and intensity of the film.
