- slimjim5811, on 07/11/2009, -0/+117If I'm not mistaken, when the cop questions Doc about the "weather experiment", he asks him, "You got a permit for that?"...then Doc takes out his wallet saying, "Sure I do, officer."...I'm pretty sure he paid off the cop.
- bubbameister33, on 07/11/2009, -1/+112After the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, he told his parents that when they have kids to go easy on their son Marty when he accidentally sets the living room carpet on fire. Loraine thought Marty was a nice name.
- MrWally, on 07/11/2009, -8/+117Correct me if I'm wrong . . . but didn't Marty tell his mother that his name was Calvin, not Marty, when he first ran into her in 1955?
So she didn't name her son after her "ex". - cannonball, on 07/11/2009, -1/+98Am I the only one waiting for hover-boards in six years?
- batman4y2k, on 07/11/2009, -3/+92That time you tried to rape my wife shows a real can do attitude, youre hired! hahahhahaha
- cannonball, on 07/11/2009, -2/+66I was always bothered by the second movie when they travel to the future because wouldn't that mean they would be "gone" the entire time they traveled?
Also, I had a problem with this...

- PhillyMJS, on 07/11/2009, -0/+63Yes, he did. In the novelization it is very specific, IIRC Doc slipped the cop a $50 and the cop asked him something like, "You're not gonna set anything on fire this time, right?"

- bubbameister33, on 07/11/2009, -0/+53Most of these are nit picks except the hiring of Biff that ***** was dead on.
- travisMarc, on 07/11/2009, -0/+53She actually thought his name was calvin klein because of his underwear and he just went along with it.
- BigVi, on 07/11/2009, -3/+55No... way... A Hollywood Movie trilogy that is inconsistent?
- UnitedOceanic, on 07/11/2009, -0/+47known as the Flux Capacitor
- derceto, on 07/11/2009, -0/+41Also, I'm pretty sure they say that Doc drained all of the gas from the Delorean he went back in time in when he buried the car in the 1800s.
- PhillyMJS, on 07/11/2009, -0/+38"Back to the Future IV... NOT HAPPENIN'!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y - bikes2work, on 07/11/2009, -0/+37"that's a nasty bump you have Calvin" "Calvin, why do keep calling me Calvin?" That's your name isn't it?" ...."I guess they call you, Cal" "Actually, my friends call me Marty" His Dad never calls him Calvin. He thanks him at end, "well so long, Marty" Only seen the movie 95 million times, this is my sad life.
- rossnyc, on 07/11/2009, -2/+33I don't care what anyone says. The Back to the Future trilogy were the best movies ever. I won't let you take it away from me!
- Mankind121, on 07/11/2009, -4/+34This is a pretty sorry article
- BREZZZ, on 07/11/2009, -1/+29Make like a tree and get outta here
- awhiteflame, on 07/11/2009, -0/+28It's a screen door on a submarine, you dork.
- vsujohn2, on 07/11/2009, -0/+28Thats why a *true* time machine really needs to be a time AND space machine and be able to calculate the position at that point in time.
- immatellyouwhat, on 07/11/2009, -0/+27Other questionable decisions... using random fonts in your article.
- PhillyMJS, on 07/11/2009, -1/+27Creating a machine that can project an object or person through time is easy. Well, compared to being able to calculate the precise location in three-dimensional space of a place on Earth at two different times, given the rotation of the Earth on its axis, the Earth's revolution around the sun, the solar system's movement as the Milky Way rotates, the expansion of the universe, and other factors I haven't listed and/or thought of.
We can only assume that the time circuits Doc Brown built compensated for all that. Otherwise BTTF would have been a mighty short movie, ending with Doc and Marty wondering why the DeLorean didn't reappear in the mall parking lot after one minute, followed by a shot of a dead, frozen dog inside a DeLorean floating about 1,100 miles up in space.
I don't know about you, but I would have gone to the box office to ask for a refund. - vsujohn2, on 07/11/2009, -6/+32That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.
- dickgrayson, on 07/11/2009, -0/+26You're not thinking grammatically.
- Fhwqhgads, on 07/11/2009, -1/+25First Star Wars and now BTTF.
What trilogy will Cracked ruin next? :) - dickgrayson, on 07/11/2009, -0/+22im just going off the top of my head here, but lets see:
1885 p.1 - public records werent kept on buford tannen after he killed a newspaper editor. the only historical fact is that he bragged he killed 11 men. his demise was never mentioned before hand. the only difference is that he would brag he killed 10. doc having been the 11th.
1885 p.2 - when storing a vehicle for a long period of time, such as for 70 years, all fluids would be drained from the vehicle. this includes gasoline. doc brown did this.
1955 p.1 - doc couldnt put biff to sleep because biff had to be awake for the events from the first film to unfold as they did.
1955 p.2 - when questioned, doc brown offers the cop his "permits" for his equipment in the movie. those "permits" being money from his wallet.
1985 p.1 - pervert.
1985 p.2 - marty was responsible for them meeting and falling in love. so... named in honor of him? or pervert.
2015 p.1 - there is more than just one life at stake, making the event more intricate than just putting on a bullet proof vest. and the event they were going forward to change dealt with his son, not marty personally. the car accident that ruins marty's life is irrelevant for this.
2015 p.2 - pervert. - Fhwqhgads, on 07/11/2009, -0/+21That's in the deleted scenes too.
- kag4489, on 07/11/2009, -2/+19It's leave, you idiot! "Make like a tree, and leave." You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!
- Denominator88, on 07/11/2009, -0/+15I never thought about taking gas from the already buried Delorean.
- kag4489, on 07/11/2009, -2/+17what the hell is a gigawatt?
- 3leggedHorse, on 07/11/2009, -0/+14Your not thinking fourth dimensionally.
- bikes2work, on 07/11/2009, -0/+13Listen Dad...dad....daddy-o
- hellahyphy, on 07/12/2009, -4/+17Wait, what? I thought an indian shot an arrow into the gas line rupturing it.
- redfan, on 07/11/2009, -0/+13At some point I think she found out his name was Marty. After he plays at the dance, she says something like, "That was very interesting music, Marty", and then after he leaves she says "Marty... what a nice name".
- dodgechargerman, on 07/11/2009, -0/+11When you ready a car for long term storage you always empty the gas tank. The Delorean he had already buried had no gas. That gas might has caused damage to the tank or car had it been in there close to a hundred years.
- kevro, on 07/11/2009, -0/+11Don't assume anything, Just get on it.
- hackiavelli, on 07/11/2009, -0/+11Not to mention the fact that they completely erased that future at the end of BTTF3 when Marty didn't drag race.
- cmuska902, on 07/11/2009, -1/+11Article sucks. Let's keep only good items pertaining to Back to the Future on Digg.
- inactive, on 07/11/2009, -1/+11what umm...
wtf does that have to do with anything? - tsteenbu, on 07/12/2009, -0/+8This scene was actually filmed, but then cut from the film, but there's footage of it on the DVD...and on YouTube! :-)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu-nQ-cs50o - directedition, on 07/11/2009, -0/+7She read it on his underwear. He actually corrected her on it, but she insisted on Calvin.
- eviscerator, on 07/11/2009, -0/+7that's so true. Glad you posted that comic :)
- charm803, on 07/12/2009, -0/+7I used to be afraid to admit I am a huge fan of Back to the Future, but it's nice coming to digg and seeing other fans make corrections on the timeline. (My girlfriends think I'm weird for not liking chick flicks.)
Biff's Question Song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y - PixelMagic, on 07/12/2009, -2/+9The rapists attitude.
- Firespray1138, on 07/11/2009, -0/+7Mr Fusion powered the time circuits, the DeLorean's engine still needed gas to run.
/nerd - bluddystool, on 07/11/2009, -0/+6I'm pretty sure Star Trek III came out before Back to the Future so I don't think Christopher Lloyd was cast for STIII based on something that hadn't even come out yet...
He sure did play an awesome Klingon though. - zjbird, on 07/12/2009, -0/+6How about in the second movie, when Old Biff goes back in time to give himself the almanac and make the future work in his favor? When he goes back to the future, wouldn't he be in the crazy future in which he rules the world? Why did he come back to the other future that Marty and Doc were both in? To bring them back the time machine and cause less conflict for the writers?
- dickgrayson, on 07/11/2009, -0/+6because its a time machine, they would return to 1985 at their desired time. to everyone in 1985, they could go and live in a different time period for 50 years, age, and return as older men to the exact spot within a second. i think the more interesting point is that throughout the time frame of the back to the future trilogy, Marty would age about a week in (by 1985 standards) in a matter of a second or two. so if doc and marty continue to time travel daily, as in the animated series, they would visibly age to everyone in 1985 at an alarming rate. assuming they always made their return trip to the same time they left.
- madcaps1980, on 07/11/2009, -0/+6So I'm assuming that the hover board won't be invented by 2015, damn!!
