Back To the Future!

[HRit]

But why did they name him Marty in the first place?

 

[im such a grumpy bastard]

Don't forget Leyton it sucks & not in a nice way

 

[Heal the World]

You mean we won't have fax machines sticking out of everywhere?

She remembered his name though to name him when she gave birth...


Because it was two different acresses playing the same part.

To be honest, it's George that should be more concerned about this...

Child named after the "mysterious stranger" who affected their lives so much and then grows up to look just like him -

"Of course he's your son, you've been reading too many of your own sci-fi stories!"

You don't say. I'd never have guessed.

Back to the future is one of the few films i can watch beginning to end in my head including the script

 

[Alicia Arroyos]

Ah, War Games. I bought this on DVD a while back. Cracking film.

 

[Super_Duper_Star 26]

Yeah, but at the end it said they had stopped this happening in 97. It should be terminator 3 which is inacurtate, it stated judgement day is in (not will be in ) 2003. Or better yet, the day after tommorow. That never happened, or does it mean this Sunday?

George should be concerned more about himself, given that he looked quite different during his brief appearance in Part II. Another thing concerns me.

When Marty goes back in time The Old West (1885), Doc Brown asks him, "What idiot dressed you in that outfit?". Marty replies, "You did". Surely the Doc-from-the-present-who-is-now-in-the-past would know this, and he would also know that he was going to end up in the Old West - his 1950s counterpart knows because he and Marty read the old Doc's letter from 1885!

20 years on it's still a great film.

Well time travel and flying cars are pretty unrealistic too don't you think!?

 

[Eleanore L]

In trying to understand that, my brain has just exploded.

 

[Jylmu Raouls]

You're WRONG! They will fly! You'll see! You'll all see!!!

Ahem. One of the great things about Back to the Future is that it's just fun. They didn't bend over backwarRAB trying to make it all add up, mainly because it can't.


Exactly. I mean, he built a time machine...out of a DeLorean? God, I love the 80s.

 

[JBaruch]

No because the rules in Back to the Future mean that if you go back in time and change events, then you create a brand new timeline which branches off from what would be the normal timeline.
So therefore present day Doc wouldn't have remembered about dressing Marty up.

Think of it like in Back to the Future 2 where time was changed in the past by Biff when he used the sporting almanac to gamble and become rich, and when Doc and Marty returned to the present it had all changed to Biff's town and people didn't even know who they were.

yeah and another thing, I know its only a movie but, how unrealistic is it that someone actually turned up to deliver that letter after 70 years.

 

[tarantulaqueen]

It's a lawyer the doc paid - maybe they wouldn't get paid fully unless they went through with it. Doesn't the guy say they had a bet in the office whether he would be there or not?

The lawyer's letter has also been used as a plot device in other time-travel series - Quantum Leap (when Al is trapped in 1945) springs to mind.

 

[Silly Puddy]

It's okay I don't need you to explain it to me, I wasn't really asking. It was just a time travel joke I was having with the other poster, but you took my post literally.

Read posts #26 and #33 on this page and you'll understand what I mean.

Time travel is easy and possible. Youse just got to travel really fast or something. Ask that Einstein bloke.
