    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When filming the scene where Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen tries to lynch Marty, Michael J. Fox was accidentally hanged, rendering him unconscious for a short time. He records this in his autobiography "Lucky Man" (2002).
    • Goofs
      Black bears do not live in the desert or the scrub lands. They are found in wooded areas, grasslands, mountains or where moisture is found, along with edible vegetation and other food sources.
    • Quotes
      • Jennifer Parker: Dr. Brown, I brought this note back from the future and - now it's erased.
      • Doc: Of course it's erased!
      • Jennifer Parker: But what does that mean?
      • Doc: It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you.
      • Marty McFly: [Marty wraps his arm around Jennifer] We will, Doc.
    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with all four versions of the Universal Pictures company bumper.
    • Alternate versions
      The original 2002 DVDs for parts II and III had major framing errors when the wrong areas of the open-matte frame were transferred (known as the "framing fiasco"). This is noticeable for several minutes in each movie and usually manifests as too much sky and missing objects at the bottom. Universal had replacements ready by 2003. A sample from part III is the fuel injection manifold exploding out of the car, which is supposed to be visible. Copies with a "V2" next to the copyright notice on the disc (on replacements only; in trilogy sets a "V2" is on the II disc), the 2009 single-disc reprint, and the 25th anniversary sets are OK.

    • When they realize that a single arrow has taken the Deloreon out of action, why don't they make a change to the DeLorean stashed in the old mine. And make a guard or something that will protect the gas line from ever being damaged? Or send another Western Union to 1955, with instructions for Marty to bring a spare full hose, and a 5gal jug of gas with him, when he travels back to 1885?
    • Is there going to be a BACK TO THE FUTURE - PART IV?
    • Why does Marty take the hoverboard to 1885?
