Doc already moved and drained the Delorean by the time Marty arrived?

well it was known that it wad drained they were wondering why they did not use the gas that was drained to get Marty from 1885 to 1985 .

Doc had probably already poured it into the lake. He never struck me as being environmentally conscious.

I remember an image with timelines of all the movies and all the DeLoreans. There was a point in time where there were 4 or 5 DeLoreans at the same time.
I always thought it could've been trippy to see 2 DeLoreans in the same place, where if you, I don't know, scratch with a pencil one of them, the other would get the exact same mark.
I have a thing for time travel, I always enjoy those kind of stories.

Have you seen Primer? It's a really good time traveling movie.

Oh yes, I've read some very interesting things about the game, I don't have the time lately (I've abandoned my gaming life long time ago). I might check levels on Youtube, to see what they've done.

Yes I have, a very interesting movie, and a difficult one too.
"Cronocrímenes" (Timecrimes), a spanish movie, it's also a very nice take on time travel. There's an english remake in the works.
Some people say this is where "Triangle" got most of the ideas from. I can see the similarities, but I think both movies have their respective strength.

You should definetely check that one out, if you like time travel/paradoxes/ storylines.

So is Biff in the video game and voiced by Tom Wilson?

yes he is in the game (as well as most of his Tannen ancestors) but he is NOT voiced by Tom Wilson, the only actors from the films that are in the game are:

Chris Lloyd as Doc Brown
Claudia Wells as Jennifer Parker (fun fact Claudia played Jennifer in part I but was not free to do II/III)
Michael J Fox as William McFly (as well as older version of Marty McFly in the future)

For all you Twitter fanatics out there, Michael J. Fox has officially joined the Twitter-verse: @realmikefox

I'm gonna have to remember to not ask questions based on something I thought about while watching a movie half asleep. t:

I didn't even know there was a BTTF game out or that one was coming out untill I saw it posted.

Who thinks that IDW Publishing is gonna get the licensing rights to make BTTF comics?

I would be SO down for a BTTF comic !

 

[Mace Dolex]

I didn't notice this before but in BTTF2 when Marty is attacked by the holographic Jaws 19 the tagline on the marquee says "This time it's Really really personal"

It would be kind of fun to make up taglines for Jaws 5 through 18, eh?

 

[Dave McFly]

I was re watching part I on blu ray and I noticed something that I thought I saw on the DVD/VHS but the blu is FAR clearer. at the end of part I when Marty arrives in 1985 and sees the Libyan's van go by he hops in the car and goes to follow them before it stalls you see the Last Time Departed say: OCT 21 1985 1:21 AM (the 'time of day' may be off but the I am 100% sure on the date). since Marty was last in 1955 it SHOULD say NOV 5 1955 10:04 PM .

 

[steintym]

HBO was showing these movies like crazy over the weekend. I so got suckered in and couldn't stop watching. I sometimes forget how awesome and entertaining the BTTF movies are.

That Eddie Murphy impression is brilliant.

Michael J. Fox played "Johnny B. Goode" at his organization's annual benefit for Parkinson's research last night. There are a few photos of him with the guitar (it looks like his BTTF guitar!) here:

And there's video! Everything about this is awesome:

just when I could not stop thinking how cool MJF is he does something like this, nice find!

Damn MJ Fox is awesome!

Ok. I've seen these movies more times than I can count and I'm confused. I'm watching Part III and I don't understand how Clara could've buried Doc (as it says on Doc's Tombstone) if she had already gone off the cliff (Clayton Ravine) prior to Buford shooting him in the back and killing him?

Can someone explain this to me? I just now caught it.

 

[John Locke]

He was still assigned to pick her up and show her the town. When Marty arrived he decided not too but did by accident. So he changed history in both timelines but since Marty grew up in a timeline in which she died (the original timeline where his parent's were losers) he knew the story.

 

[Marx]

In Part III, Marty took a picture of the tombstone in 1955 before heading back to 1885. Clara had to have gone over the cliff several days prior to Doc's murder yet the tombstone in the picture says it was "erected in memory by his loving Clara". That's not possible.

When Doc and Marty were out by the bridge, that's when Clara came rushing by on the runaway carriage with all of her belongings. (The event that caused "Clayton Ravine".) If you take Doc and Marty out of the equation, she'd have gone over as it intended.

 

[Travesty]

Maybe Doc saved her the first time he went back to 1885, and they fell in love the same way when he met her with Marty?

I dunno, it's been awhile since I've seen Part III. I may need to watch it tonight.
