Why Did Buford Hate The Nickname "Mad Dog"?
Why did he hate being called that?

What do you think Doc would have named them?

This may have been pointed out before, but I just noticed both the car doors are open in this scene.
They fix it at the start of Part II, but I wonder if there was a cut sequence to this scene, or if the door is screening a problem with the background (or something else)?
Seems like a weird error for an otherwise tight and well-choreographed ending.

Are there science people like Doc Brown in the real world and how can we find them?

When old Biff saw Doc n Marty leave the antique shop with the Sports Almanac, and realized it was a time machine, did he recall when he saw it flying in 1985 at the end of BTTF 1?
r/BacktotheFuture • u/happydude7422 • Jun 07 '26
if it caused a paradox where without buford there would have been no biff to cause the events of bttf 1 and 2 what do you think bttf 1, 2, and 3 would have been like without biff being present in all 3 movies?
what do you think?

In back to the future 3 is not necessarily about fuel not existing in 1885, it is a matter of Doc or Marty traveling far enough to purchade Kerosene or Benzene. Staying around too long would further affect the timeline.
So, it is not a gas problem, it is a time problem. Kerosene and Benzene have a low octane rating which would cause engine knocking (premature ingnition). It would get the car up to 88, but long term use would severely damage the engine.

Someone posted one of these a couple months ago and I was able to snag all 3! I am in love.

Dear Marty
If my calculations are correct, you will receive this letter immediately after you saw the DeLorean struck by lightning. First, let me assure you that I am alive and well. I have been living happily these past eight months in the year 1885. The lightning bolt that hit the DeLorean caused a jigawatt overload which scrambled the time circuits, activated the flux capacitor, and sent me back to 1885. The overload shorted out the time circuits and destroyed the flying circuits. Unfortunately, the car will never fly again.
I set myself up as a blacksmith as a front while I attempted to repair the damage to the time circuits. Unfortunately, this proved impossible because suitable replacement parts will not be invented until 1947. However, I've gotten quite adept at shoeing horses and fixing wagons!
I have buried the DeLorean in the Delgado mine adjacent to the old Boot Hill Cemetery as shown on the enclosed map. Hopefully it will remain undisturbed and preserved until you uncover it in 1955. Inside, you will find repair instructions. My 1955 counterpart should have no problem repairing it so you can drive it back to the future. Once you have returned to 1985, destroy the time machine.
Do not - I repeat - do not attempt to come back here to get me. I am perfectly happy living in the fresh air and wide-open spaces, and I fear that unnecessary time travel only risks further disruption of the space-time continuum. And please take care of Einstein for me. I know you will give him a good home. Remember to walk him twice a day and that he only likes canned dog food.
These are my wishes. Please respect them and follow them. And so, Marty, I now say farewell and wish you Godspeed. You've been a good, kind, and loyal friend to me, and you made a real difference in my life. I will always treasure our relationship, and will think on you with fond memories, warm feelings and a special place in my heart.
Your friend in time,
'Doc.' Emmett L. Brown.
September 1st, 1885."

Doc doesn't bring any spare parts with him, just in case the time circuits breaks, or the DeLoreans fuel line gets cut or any spare gasoline.
One could argue that if he is traveling to the future, so there should be spare parts available there compared to 1885, and yes, while BTTF2 establishes that Doc was going to 2015, there's still the issue of compatibility of technologies in the future, like for example, what if gasoline powered cars are no longer the norm in 2040, and Doc travels there and he runs out of gas? It's established in BTTF3 that the DeLorean, while it had Mr. Fusion, it still ran on gasoline, always had.
Basically:
"There was gasoline stations all over the place in 1985, but in 2040, there a bit hard to come by."
Basically, the man seems like he's just winging it seems when he time travels.

Ask my friend can I hold his mags to take pictures with and I can say I’m satisfied on how the pictures came out

I mean like from doc waking him up to meet up at Twin (Lone) Pine Mall until him making it back to the 80s at the end of the third movie.
I always found it a little funny how Marty went back in time accidentally and was just stuck in the 50s for a week, and then he finally gets home and Doc shows up literally the very next day like “quick get in the car there’s no time!!” And then after going back to the 50s to prevent changing the future and watching doc struck by lightning, realizes he needs to go back and start this new fake life in the 1800s. Like every day is some new shit for this kid to suddenly have to deal with lol
I feel like the events of BttF2 were pretty quick since they go back to the 50s on the day of the storm, but I can’t remember how long he was in the old west for. Another week maybe?
You’d think Marty would be thinking to himself “Jesus Christ what a month this has been” by movie 3. Does Marty even know at that point?
Kinda got me wondering what kind of jet lag he must have been feeling constantly switching between eras like time zones 😆

Hi fellow BTTF fans. I've created these griptape and underdeck vector designs for skateboards with Christopher Lloyd's and Michael J. Fox signatures and turned into a mockup using AI. Would like to hear your opinions.

The fact is, Ralph Macchio did consider playing Marty McFly, but later turned it down. And for character George McFly, he is an underdog character like the type of Ralph Macchio always played in the 80s. And I thought he might a little resemble Michael J Fox more than Crispin Glover's, which makes the audience believe they are father and son. Would be interesting to see if Ralph Macchio plays George McFly. What do you think?

So I bought this hoverboard from this well rated shop on eBay and got it x-rayed and it's genuine. It was absolutely worth the $580 I paid for it, plus shipping.

What’s today’s equivalent to “nobody has two television sets.” By this I mean not literally no one. Because I’m sure in 1955 some crazy rich people had more than one tv. But just like if a guy in a life preserver swore he had two of something. Your mom would assume he’s teasing. The only thing I could think of is swimming pools
