Product Information

A conscious echo of the first film’s famous closing line, or sheer coincidence? It can’t be accidental… surely? 67. Maggie McFly Among the channels that Marty Jr. selects when watching TV at home, there’s an advert for a plastic surgery company called Bottoms Up, promoting two breast enlargement options called ‘The Super Inflatable TIT’ and ‘The Headlight TIT.’ Weren’t these supposed to be family films? 44. Product Placement De Santis, Solange. "Steven Spielberg Builds a Time Machine" in Popular Mechanics, August 1985, pp.84–87, 132. The short film Doc Brown Saves the World features a repaired DeLorean time machine that includes new replacement parts from 2015. It is seen in a video promoting the film, though it is not specified whether it houses a flux capacitor. [ non-primary source needed] Time Train [ edit ] It’s been remarked upon several times that it’s somewhat strange that Lea Thompson plays the role of Maggie McFly, given that her character Lorraine Baines is actually from the other side of Marty’s family. Bob Gale has explained this apparent discrepancy by the simple reasoning that they wanted the third film to have a “Mom, is that you?” scene, just as the first two had – and offers the possible justification that “the McFly men have a genetic trait that attracted them to women who bear a resemblance to Maggie or Lea Thompson.”

It’s a subtle reference – a longer version of the scene, ultimately cut down, would have made it more explicit – but when the street cop asks the Doc if he has “a permit” for the “weather equipment” under the tarpaulin, he starts rummaging in his wallet. Surely the Doc isn’t the kind of guy who’d bribe an upstanding member of the thin blue line? That’d be as crazy as him being the kind of guy who’d get a bunch of terrorists to steal plutonium for him. Or Marty’s dad being a creepy pervert. Funny the things you overlook in characters. 27. Guitar Heroes The other most obvious reference in the 2015 town square is the holographic advert for Jaws 19. By the time Part IIwas released in 1989, there had already been four Jawsfilms, so maybe it wasn’t unreasonable to suggest that there might be a further 14 in the 26 years that followed. Unfortunately, reality has slowed matters somewhat, so we’ve quite a lot to get through between now and next year if that one’s going to come true. While most of the news stories shown in the papers Doc finds at the library – including the 1973 Wounded Knee Occupation – are genuine events, there’s one false one on the edition that tells of his being committed in 1983: that Richard Nixon is seeking a fifth term as US president, and that the Vietnam war is still going on eight years too late. Given that the diverging point for this reality revolves around Biff’s success, we can only imagine what he did to make those wider world events happen. 53. A Fistful of Dollars While the original PRV V6 engines were retained in the physical cars for filming, the film's sound effects artists used the sound of a Porsche 928 V8 and the Star Wars's landspeeder for the engine sounds in the movie. [45] Replicas [ edit ] Two DeLorean time machine replicas He filed a lawsuit against the producers in response to this, and won – meaning that from now on no actor’s likeness can be used in a film without their consent. 57.

In 2021, the time machine was added to the Library of Congress's National Historic Vehicle Register. [1] Operation [ edit ] a b c Failes, Ian (October 21, 2015).

Ya lo dijo Doc en 'Regreso al futuro': '¡Esto es lo que permite viajar en el tiempo: 'El condensador de fluzo'!". The destination time display shows the date that the operator wants the DeLorean to go to (when the operator types in a date using the keypad in the DeLorean, it will be shown in the destination time display), the present time display shows the DeLorean's current location in time, and the last time departed display shows what point in time the DeLorean originally was after making a journey through time. Doc demonstrated its capabilities to Marty after its first test, giving two well-known but erroneous dates as examples: the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776; and the birth of Christ, December 25, 0000. He also displayed the day that he first conceived of the flux capacitor, by which he marks the day he invented time travel, November 5, 1955, as he explains to Marty in the beginning of the first film.

ISBN 0-387-98571-9Equipment [ edit ] Flux capacitor [ edit ] The Flux Capacitor as seen in a replica DeLorean Time Machine During the second film, because of Biff Tannen's tampering [12] following his theft of the DeLorean, the time circuits began malfunctioning, displaying January 1, 1885, in the destination time display. A bolt of lightning triggers the malfunction to send the DeLorean from 1955 to 1885. Though the vehicle was in mid-air, the spin created by the lightning bolt allowed it to reach 88mph. Doc is trapped in 1885 and repairs were impossible because the time circuit control microchip, which governed the time circuits, was destroyed by the lightning bolt, and suitable replacement parts would not be invented until at least 1947. Doc places repair instructions and a schematic diagram in the time machine to enable his 1955 counterpart to repair it using components from that era — which included vacuum tubes — before boarding it up within a silver mine. He then writes Marty a letter explaining the situation and places it in the custody of Western Union, with instructions to deliver it to Marty in 1955.

[17] After filming was over, the "A" car was delivered to Universal Studios Hollywood as an attraction piece. As time passed, visitors started taking parts off the vehicle and wandering off with them. Bob Gale selected a team to repair the car so it could be in a perfect condition. The vehicle is currently being displayed at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
