    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The plot line of George McFly being dead in 1985-A was based entirely on Crispin Glover's refusal to do the sequel.
    • Goofs
      In all the scenes of Young Biff and Old Biff riding in the car together, the car has no rear view mirror on the windshield. When Young Biff first comes back out and gets into the car again ("I'm going to the dance, Grandma"), it still has no rear view mirror, yet after he backs out onto the street and it then cuts back to the shot looking in toward the windshield, a mirror is present.
    • Quotes
      • Doc: Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.
    • Crazy credits
      The theatrical version had a teaser for Back to the Future Part III (1990). Some later versions do not have a teaser at all, only showing "To Be Concluded", and skip to the credits. Some have "To Be Concluded" followed by "Back To The Future III". Some cable versions retain the teaser for Back To The Future Part III, but, of course, do not say "Coming Summer 1990". It was, however, added back to the film for its digital download and Blu-Ray versions.
    • Alternate versions
      Spanish dubbed version also refers to Marty as Levi Strauss instead of Calvin Klein.
    • Connections
      Edited from Back to the Future (1985)
    • Soundtracks
      Beat It
      Written and Performed by Michael Jackson
      Produced by Quincy Jones (uncredited)
