I walked into a Target on Saturday and by pure luck, found the [unfrosted] DeLorean from the first movie and the one from Part III as well!

Cuz like why every single time? No matter what timeline A Tannen is alwys heckling or tryna cause a problem w a McFly! The Future 2015, 1955, the Wild West, sheesh! These families feuding like the Mafia or something! The Tannen Family vs The McFly family! Mad Dog vs The other McFly, alternate ‘85 vs George, Griff vs Marty’s son Mannn I guess that’s what happens every time when the writers keep writing you as a bad guy! Haha

Did a dry run of my Halloween setup tonight, the string lights all flicker and pulse to simulate the lightning and fire trails.
Candy will be handed out from the box of plutonium; and naturally I'll be dressed as Marty :)

3d printed body (custom mounts and wheels) over Tamiya tt-02r chassis and 85A Spectrum ESC.
I wrote some firmware for my Futaba doc remote control board that allows it to connect via a modern transmitter module. Then I wrote some more code to translate the RPM to scaled MPH. I can get the speed and other telemetry on the remote segment display!
Up to 8 switches can be wired and mapped on the remote. Currently I have the stop switch/light mapped to arm throttle, one to headlights, another to flux bands, reverse, and high speed mode 💀
The next step is to get it to turn on the flux bands and the time travel sound when reaching 88mph 🤣

Only could find examples in animation, but I love the running gag in BTTF of Biff (unfailingly) getting into the stuff. And glad to see it pop up in other films.

Living in Japan has its perks! Picked up the DeLorean Happy Meal toy from the new USJ collab that dropped today!

(updated after looking more into it and from people's comments)
People have debated whether Marty's birthday is June 12th or June 9th (Michael J. Fox’s Birthday), 1968. Recently, Insight Editions published Back to the Future: The Complete Screenplay [Limited Edition] on 9/1/2026 and Back to the Future: The Complete Screenplay on 10/20/2026, written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. While reading my copy, I noticed on page 154 there is a photocopy of the Prop Driver's license made for the film by prop master John Zemansky. I believe this is the first time the production has released a photo of this Driver's license prop. It was used in BTTF Part 1 when Marty tells 1955 Doc Brown he is from 1985, and Marty proceeds to show Doc what's in his wallet as proof. The contents of the Driver's license were always a mystery because we never saw it in the film, as it faced away from the camera. Now we finally get to see what's on the license, and it lists Marty's date of birth as 10/4/67. Yes, I know this would make Marty 18 during the events of the film, but if we adjust the year to 10/4/68, it would line up with the movie, as Marty would be 17 before the film begins on 10/25/85. There is an annotation by Bob Gale below the photo of the Driver's license. Bob mentions the license was made in case it would be seen on screen, and he notes that the height listed (5'6) is not correct for Michael J. Fox's real-life height (5'4). Interestingly enough, Bob doesn't correct anything else on the license.
I provided my scan of the page and license here:



The license also lists Marty's address as 325 Elm Street, which seems like a nod to A Nightmare on Elm Street, which came out in theaters around the time Back to the Future started filming in November 1984. In the movie, we can see that Marty's house has the address number 9303. While they never mention the street name in the trilogy (I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the comics or any other alternate-timeline materials; comment below if it is). Many fan headcanons and fan-made merchandise list Marty's full address as 9303 Lyon Drive. The Lyon Drive part of the address was most likely added because Marty's neighborhood is Lyon Estates.
When I looked further into Marty's date of birth, I saw people point out that an early screenplay of BTTF Part II mentions that Marty's birthday is June 20th, 1968. It's on page 16 of this PDF. In this draft, Marty's middle name is also Hopkins instead of Seamus.
Level_Cupcake5985 mentions in the IDW comic BTTF #21, Hard Time, Part 3, written by Bob Gale and John Barber, that Marty says his birthday is June 12th. Here's the page:

The social media for Back to the Future: The Musical also chooses to use June 12th as Marty's birthday in posts.
The more I look into it, the more inconsistencies there are. It went from October 4th in BTTF Prop material, to June 20th in the BTTF Part II draft, and then to June 12th in alternate-timeline material. Honestly, it just seems like Bob and Robert didn't really care or think too much about whatMarty's exact date of birth should be, just that he had to be 17.
So I'm gonna end it with a quote from Bob Gale: "When you have a time machine and infinite timelines, everything is canon, so, yes, it’s all canon and none of it’s canon.”

That we saw in Part 2, was the Marty and Doc from that timeline actually in Switzerland and an asylum co-existing with the Doc and Marty that were time traveling, or did they replace them in that time?

Was there manure in the heart of the town that needed to be collected? I get picking it from a farm, then taking it somewhere to dispose of it, but did that require a detour and stop right in the heart of the city?
r/BacktotheFuture • u/FortKnoxII • 3d ago
When Doc was going to dismantle the time machine, what do you think he was going to do?
Was he going to destroy everything, DeLorean, time circuits and all. Or was he just going to take time circuits out and just convert the DeLorean back to stock?
