These Are The Absurdly Great Cars Of The Back To The Future Trilogy These Are The Absurdly Great Cars Of The Back To The Future Trilogy Go to permalink Last weekend, the weather in the District of Columbia was rainy, gross and cold, as it often is this time of year. So I did what any freedom-loving American man would do: I stayed inside and watched the Back to the Future trilogy. And right after Marty wandered into the 1955 version Hill Valley for the first time, this realization dawned on me: Damn, there are some seriously great cars in these movies. Advertisement Honestly, I don’t know how it took me this long to figure that out. I’ve been watching these movies since I was a kid. I think I’ve seen each entry in the trilogy more times than I’ve seen any other movie. That early exposure to Back to the Future is one of the many reasons I'm a car guy. The filmmakers could have made Doc Brown’s time machine out of anything, but they made it out of a car. And not just any car, a very cool-looking sportscar with a stick shift. What’s not to love?

But the DeLorean isn’t just the only awesome car running around the various eras of Hill Valley. If you look closely, you’ll see that there are tons of great rides in the trilogy (mainly the first two, for obvious reasons.) These are all the ones I could come up with. Feel free to add your own, I’m sure I missed some. Now why don’t you make like a tree and check out these awesome cars? 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Advertisement Here’s the obvious pick. You can’t talk about Back to the Future without talking about John Z.’s failed masterpiece. Doc Brown says he picked the DeLorean for his time machine to “do it with some style,” and because the stainless steel body helped with flux dispersal or some such science-y nonsense. I’m just glad he picked one without the slushbox, because the stick makes it that much cooler. (Did you still have to shift gears when it was flying?) A few folks on the Internet have claimed that the DeLoreans used in Part 2 and Part 3 had some kind of Porsche motor swapped in to replace the anemic PRV V6, possibly the V8 from the 928.

I haven’t seen any confirmation of that. Anyone have any leads? I do love the fact that it ends up with whitewall tires in the third movie. Keep in mind that when the first movie came out in 1985, the DeLorean had been out of production for two years, and the car’s demise was tied to a huge scandal , so using it as the time machine was kind of a joke. Instead, the trilogy made the car into an icon, and it’s probably the main reason anyone remembers it today. Still, I love the DeLorean and I always have, even if it was unable to outrun a Volkswagen Bus in a parking lot without resorting to time travel. It had character, and character means a lot. Biff Tannen’s 1946 Ford Super De Luxe Sponsored Biff may have been one of the biggest assholes in cinematic history, but he had great taste in cars. His ‘46 Ford is a real looker, at least until it gets trashed by manure twice in a matter of days in 1955. He absolutely had it coming though.

(One of the main plot elements of all three movies was Biff and his family getting their much-deserved comeuppance throughout history.) It must have had a tricky clutch or something, since only Biff and Old Biff from the future could start it. Biff’s car also gives us a great line from Doc in the second film, when Marty suggests the flying DeLorean land on it so they can seize the almanac. "Marty," Doc says, "He's in a '46 Ford. We're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil." Classic. Doc Brown’s 1948 Packard Custom Eight Victoria Advertisement Advertisement Of course the Doc had a Packard! He’s all about style, man, no matter what era he’s in. It shows up in a couple scenes in the films, including when Marty borrows it to take his mother to the “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance. Then he comes close to making out with her, which is probably the most unpleasant experience anyone could ever have in a car.

Marty’s 1985 Toyota Xtra Cab 4x4 After Marty changes the past, his family in 1985 doesn’t suck anymore. By teaching his father to stick up for himself and go for his dreams, they all seem much better off than before. Marty even opens the garage to find his own, brand-new Toyota pickup truck, perfect for taking either of the actresses who plays his girlfriend up to the lake for the weekend. This truck is also tied pretty closely to Marty’s own fate, as it’s the truck he wrecked in a drag race against Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers some dude named Needles. That crash ruins his music career and relegates him to a lame middle-management job he gets fired from in 2015. Fortunately, he’s able to avoid that in the climax of the third movie . Marty lucked out with this one. That’s a nice-looking truck, and probably tough as hell too. Also, the truck that was used in the third film is getting restored , which is awesome. I have some hot news for all the Back to the Future fans out there!

Which should be all of you,… Read more Read more George McFly’s 1984 BMW 733i Advertisement Before Marty changes his family’s future, George McFly was a loser who drives a crappy old Chevy Nova that Biff promptly wrecks in the first movie. Not anymore! Imbued with self-confidence, the new George is a successful author who rolls around in a freaking E23 7-Series, one of the baddest (and most expensive) German luxobarges of its era. George is now so awesome that he has Biff detail his Bimmer at the end of the first movie, even though he has to threaten Biff with another 1955-style ass-beating to make sure there’s two coats of wax on it. Well done, McFly! Griff Tannen’s BMW 633 CSi In the future, we will all drive horribly modified BMWs! I could never figure out if Griff’s car was supposed to be what a BMW would look like in 2015, or if it was an old car he bought and then put a bunch of crap on.

I’m guessing the latter, because the tail end is primered, making it look like a work in progress. At any rate, what’s a guy like Griff — who’s even angrier and stupider than his grandfather — doing driving a classy car like a BMW? (Side note: a few years ago, Matt wrote about a guy who was restoring one of these movie cars . I wonder how that went.) The cars of the “future” are kind of hilarious when you figure out what they really are. A couple are 1980s concept cars, one is a very gussied-up Ford Probe, and one is a Citröen DS. I’ve seen those pop up in a few movies as a “futuristic” car, which is a true testament to the timelessness of the DS’ design. Oh, and in Back to the Future II's version of 2015, Pontiac dealerships are still around . Ha!

Like all children of the Back To The Future generation, we can vividly remember the moment Marty… Read more Read more Just about any car from 1955 Advertisement Advertisement One of the first signs that Marty is truly in a different time in the first film is all of the classic cars driving around. Generally, they're all awesome. The city is filled with a fantastic collection of old Plymouths, Mercurys, DeSotos, Buicks, and other marques from the 1940s and 50s. It’s a great salute to the best era of American style. Jennifer’s Dad’s 1984 AMC Eagle 4WD Wagon We only see him briefly in one scene, but the father of Marty's girlfriend Jennifer drives an awesomely American car, so it's totally worth mentioning here. The old 4x4 AMC wagon is one of the granddaddies of the modern crossover SUV. Whoever Jennifer's dad was, he had good taste in wagons. The Libyan Terrorists' Volkswagen Bus (Type 2) Advertisement Doc Brown's time machine needs plutonium to operate (until it gets Mr.

Fusion, anyway!), so he acquires some in the safest and most ramification-free method he can think of: cheating it out of some pissed-off terrorists from Libya. Shockingly, the Libyans aren't too happy that the Doc ripped them off, so they come after him and Marty in a Volkswagen bus. This leads us to a great Bus vs. DeLorean chase scene, even if it's a bit unrealistic. The DeLorean hit 90 mph in a parking lot, but it still couldn't outrun an ancient Type 2? Okay, sure. That PRV V6 wasn't good for much anyway. The chase ends with Marty back in 1955 and the VW crashing into a Fox Photo stand (remember those?) No word on whether the terrorists survived the wreck, but who cares? They're terrorists, and that makes them bad people.

Published on Jul 19, 2015 The DeLorean time machine is a fictional automobile-based time travel device featured in the Back to the Future franchise. In the feature film series, Dr. Emmett Brown builds a time machine based on an automobile; a DeLorean DMC-12, with the intent of gaining insights into history and the future but instead winds up using it to travel across over 130 years of Hill Valley history (from 1885 to unspecified points beyond 2015) with Marty McFly, both to change the past for the better and to undo the negative effects of time travel. One of the cars used in filming is currently on display at Universal Studios Hollywood. The operation of the DeLorean time machine is consistent throughout all three films.

The operator sits inside the DeLorean (except for the first time, when a remote control is used), and turns on the time circuits, activating a unit containing multiple fourteen- and seven-segment displays that show the destination (red), present (green), and last-departed (yellow) dates and times. After entering a target date, the operator accelerates the car to 88 miles per hour (141.6 km/h), which activates the flux capacitor. A m.p.h scanner shows how many miles the car has reached and it stops counting when it reaches 88. As it accelerates, several coils around the body of the car glow white (seen as blue in the movie). Surrounded by electrical current like coming from a Tesla coil, the whole car vanishes in a flash of white/blue light seconds later, leaving a pair of fire trails where the vehicle's tires will pass arriving at the destination time. Observers outside the vehicle see an implosion of plasma as the vehicle disappears, while occupants within the vehicle see a quick flash of light and instantaneously arrive at the target time in the same spatial location (relative to the Earth) as when it departed.

In the destination time, immediately before the car's arrival, three large and loud flashes issue forth from the point from which the car emerges from its time travel.

After the trip, the exterior of the DeLorean is extremely cold, and frost forms from atmospheric moisture all over the car's body.[1] A few technical glitches with the DeLorean hinder time travel for its inhabitants; in the first film, the car has starter problems and has a hard time restarting once stopped, much to Marty's repeated frustration.[1] In the second movie, the destination time display malfunctions and shows random dates, which partially cause Doc to be sent to 1885.[2] In the third movie, the fuel line rips while the car is off-road, preventing the car from running under its own power.[3] The time machine is electrical and requires a nuclear reaction via plutonium to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed.[1] A lightning bolt is used to power the flux capacitor twice in the series - once with a large pole and hook rigged up to the car to help Marty get back to 1985,[1] and again accidentally in flight to send Doc to 1885.[2] The Mr.

Fusion model fusion generator uses garbage as fuel and is installed in place of the nuclear reactor from the first film during Doc's first journey to 2015, when he also has the hover conversion installed.[1][2] In Back to the Future Part III, the DeLorean's fuel line is damaged; this doesn't affect Mr. Fusion which "only powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor, but the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline; it always has." Doc attempts to use alcohol in place of gasoline after the fuel line is patched, this has the effect of destroying the DeLorean's fuel injection manifold, rendering it no longer able to travel on its own power. Doc and Marty consider options to reach the required 88 mph but ultimately settle on pushing the car with a steam locomotive.

For the extra power needed to push the DeLorean up to speed, Doc Brown added his own version of "Presto Logs" ("pressed wood treated with anthracite") to the locomotive's boiler and chose a location where the track was straight enough that the locomotive could get up to 88 mph.[3] ***PLEASE "Thumbs UP", SUBSCRIBE & SHARE*** Back to the Future 3 - DeLorean Time Machine - Aoshima 1/24 Scale Model Car - Build Log Part 4 - YouTube Close Back to the Future 3 - DeLorean Time Machine - Aoshima 1/24 Scale Model Car - Build Log Part 4 Want to watch this again later?

Published on Dec 22, 2015 Today is the fourth in a series of videos on How to Build the DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future 3.

This scale model build is based on the 1:24 scale model kit from Aoshima. Welcome to Jason's Model Shop, your source for all the tips, tricks and techniques to master your models! Today's episode is all about fixing mistakes and the 1955 Time Circuits. I mistakenly painted the DeLorean Time Machine's Flux Capacitor all silver, but the inside is supposed to be black. So I had to repaint it while it was already mounted inside the vehicle. I have a great deal of experience building scale models, but that was a challenge. I also had to repair some scratching on the windshield. I wet sanded the area then applied acrylic floor polish as a clear filler. I achieved moderate success, but should have used higher grit sand paper. Then it was onto the 1955 Time Circuits. Most of the detail was just molded plastic so I had to add some wiring detail to enhance the look. I hope you enjoy today's episode and thank you for watching Jason's Model Shop.

__________________________________________________________________ Create Your Own Pepsi Can DeLorean Time Machine Model How to Make a ‘Back to the Future’ DeLorean Time Machine Out of a Pepsi Can Posted on Tuesday, August 25th, 2015 by Ethan Anderton Earlier this summer, we highlighted a video that showed you how to make a Back to the Future Part II hoverboard for just $33 , which would be the perfect thing to take with you when you head to Los Angeles for the big 3 0th anniversary celebration happening in October (at least if you’ve got $800 lying around for a ticket). But for those who don’t have a need for such a big homemade prop, maybe you’d like to make a nice little creation to set upon your desk that still shows how much you love Back to the Future. YouTube user DaveHax has created a video that shows you how to create a miniature Pepsi can DeLorean time machine model. Looks like a nice little arts and crafts project to pass the time. Here’s the Pepsi can DeLorean time machine tutorial (via Gizmodo ): It should be noted though that this video seems to hail from the United Kingdom.

Not only does the narrator’s accent give it away, but he says that Pepsi cans are made of steel and not aluminum, making for a stronger material from which to craft your new creation. Though much like the real DeLorean, it’s still probably not strong enough to stand up against Biff’s 1946 Ford. However, the problem for any United States residents wanting to craft their own DeLorean model is that Pepsi cans from the US are not made of steel. So if you want to make sure that you can do this the way it was meant to be done, you’ll want to get your hands on some steel soda cans. You might lose some of the novelty of using a Pepsi product (prominently featured in the Back to the Future franchise), but that’s the price we’ll have to pay for recycling a steel soda can into a DeLorean time machine. Cool Posts From Around the Web: The Cast | Back in Time LinkedIn The Cast We have been fortunate enough to assemble an amazing cast in this documentary which spans from the writer and executive producer of the trilogy to the director, key actors, and some of the most amazing fans of any film series in history.

Below is a full list of who you can expect to see in the official release. Michael J. Fox With 64 acting credits to date on IMDB.com, Michael J. Fox is arguably best known for his role as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy. While he continues to act on television in his most recent self titled series as well as his role on The Good Wife, Michael has been a huge advocate for Parkinson’s Disease, since his public disclosure of the disease in 1998. The fan support he receives in this pursuit from Back to the Future fans is unparalleled. Christopher Lloyd Christopher Lloyd has played countless numbers of memorable roles in his career. Coming from a background in theater, Lloyd starred as Reverend Jim in his first big television hit, Taxi, and will forever be remembered as Doctor Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy. He continues to reprise the role 30 years later in various movies and television spots. Steven Spielberg Undoubtedly one of the most influential film personalities in the history of film, Steven Spielberg is perhaps Hollywood’s best known director and one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world.

Spielberg has countless big-grossing, critically acclaimed credits to his name, as producer, director and writer. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946. He went to California State University Long Beach, but dropped out to pursue his entertainment career. Spielberg executive produced all 3 Back to the Future films after working on multiple projects with Zemeckis and Gale in the early 80’s. Robert Zemeckis Robert Zemeckis has had an illustrious career directing films for over four decades. While his work on Forrest Gump won him an Academy Award, his direction of the Back to the Future trilogy is perhaps his best work, and is known worldwide. He has worked with some of the best talent in Hollywood, including Steven Spielberg, with whom he collaborated for six films, and has garnered countless awards and accolades. Bob Gale Bob Gale is a graduate of USC’s film school and it was during the early part of his career that he met, and began working with, Robert Zemeckis.

Beginning in the 1970s with films like Steven Spielberg’s 1941, a movie where the “Bobs” shared writing credits, their collaboration continued on films like I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Used Cars, but it wasn’t until Zemeckis finished Romancing the Stone in 1984 that the two were able to join forces on the film that would launch their careers into the stratosphere: Back to the Future. To this day, Gale remains the gatekeeper of the Back to the Future franchise, overseeing many of its goings-on, and he was an integral part in the creation of this documentary. Lea Thompson Lea has had an extensive acting career spanning from the early 80’s until present day, and in 2006, she ventured behind the camera, adding the title of Director to her long list of credits. However, she will always be known for playing the lovable Lorraine McFy, as well Lorraine Baines, and Maggie McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy.

Lea also has had a passion for dance since childhood, which landed her on Dancing with the Stars in 2014, where she performed quite well (and included an homage to Back to the Future!). Alan Silvestri In over thirty years as a film composer, Alan Silvestri has blazed an innovative trail with his exciting and melodic scores, winning the applause of Hollywood and movie audiences the world over.

Working with Robert Zebecks on 17 films, both were suddenly propelled to a hugely successful collaboration that would include the “Back to the Future (1985)” series, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)”, the Oscar-winning “Forrest Gump (1994)” (for which Silvestri received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score), “Contact (1997)”, “What Lies Beneath (2000)”, “Cast Away (2000)” (for which he won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition), “The Polar Express (2004)” (whose song “Believe”, co-written with Glen Ballard, won a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song), “Beowulf (2007)”, “A Christmas Carol (2009)” and “Flight” which was released on November 2nd, 2012.

Taken from IMDB.com Huey Lewis An 80’s music icon, Huey Lewis and The News will be forever associated with Back to the Future because of their mega hit The Power of Love. Huey also made his acting debut in Back to the Future with a brief cameo. The band also wrote the song Back in Time which shares its name with our documentary. Dean Cundey Dean Cundey reigns supreme as one of the best, most prolific, and talented cinematographers to ever grace celluloid with his often striking and accomplished photography.” With over 40 years, 85+ cinematography credits, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Cinematographers to his name, it is still Back to the Future, along with a few other films, that continue to define Cundey’s career. Taken from IMDB.com James Tolkan Tolkan was a New York stage veteran and began acting in films in the late 1970’s. However it wasn’t until Robert Zemeckis chose him for the role of Mr. Strickland that Tolkan moved to Hollywood and became everyone’s favorite principal.

He has had several memorable roles throughout his substantial career, including the part of Stinger in Top Gun, shortly after his Back to the Future fame. Claudia Wells Claudia Wells played Marty’s girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, in the original Back to the Future. She took a hiatus from acting during which time she started a successful men’s clothing store, Armani Wells. Wells got back into acting in 2008 and attends many fan shows supporting the Back to the Future franchise. Don Fullilove Don played the role of Mayor Goldie Wilson in Back to the Future and came back to play Goldie Wilson III in the second film. While he had a supporting role in the film, his unique, high pitched delivery of the line consisting of only one word, “Mayor,” is a line that lives on 30 years later as a classic. Goldie can also be seen at many fan shows supporting the Back to the Future franchise. Jeffrey Weissman Jeffrey Weissman was cast in Back to the Future Parts 2 & 3 to play the role of George McFly. He appeared most famously in the 2015 future scene at Marty’s future home where he hung upside down from the coolest back brace ever made.

Jeffrey appears at many fan shows as George and also has hosted the bi-annual Delorean Car Show numerous times. Kevin Pike Kevin Pike is synonymous with special effects. After working on films like Jaws and multiple iterations of Star Trek, Pike brought his skills in mechanical effects to Back to the Future as the special effects supervisor. It was his team that built the original Delorean time machine for Back to the Future. His credits include over 150 films. Andrew Probert Andrew Probert’s artistic career began on the small screen, designing the robotic Cylons for the original “Battlestar: Galactica,” and moved on to the big screen as a major design contributor for “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” working to update the overall look of Starfleet ships & hardware. On Back to the Future he had the opportunity to work as a production illustrator, taking over for Ron Cobb, drawing many of the time machine designs.

He was also the designer of the comic book featured in the film, “Tales in Space,” and George McFly’s “A Match Made in Space.” Michael Scheffe Scheffe worked in the art department as a construction coordinator working on two of the most recognizable cars in Hollywood history – K.I.T.T from Knight Rider, and the Back to the Future Delorean time machine. He also had the opportunity to draw many of Doc Brown’s obscure inventions, including the brain wave analyzer. Frank Price One of the few Hollywood executives to come out of a writing background, Price interrupted his early TV career with a stint as story editor at Columbia Pictures (1953-57), which he would later head at two separate times. As the head of Universal TV in the 1970’s, he developed or supervised The Six Million Dollar Man (1974), The Bionic Woman (1976), The Incredible Hulk (1978), Battlestar Galactica (1978), The Rockford Files (1974) and many others. He is credited with helping to create new TV formats: movies made-for-TV and the mini-series, as well as the 90-minute series.

In 1978, Price left the presidency of Universal TV to become President, and later Chairman and CEO, of Columbia Pictures where he was involved with such story-driven, award-winning films as Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), Tootsie (1982) and Gandhi (1982) and top-grossers as Ghostbusters (1984) and The Karate Kid (1984). In 1983, after conflict with parent company Coca-Cola over his autonomy, Price swung back to Universal as chairman of the motion picture group and president of Universal Pictures, where he developed Back to the Future (1985), Fletch (1985), Out of Africa (1985) and The Breakfast Club (1985). After Sony’s purchase of Columbia, the newly-installed executives, Jon Peters and Peter Guber, appointed Price to head Columbia Pictures. Eighteen months later, in October 1991, when his colleague at Warner Bros., Mark Canton, was freed from his contract, he was brought in to replace Price, who continued his association with Sony Pictures Entertainment with a non-exclusive production deal.

Dan Harmon Dan Harmon is a writer and producer, known for Monster House (2006), Community (2009) and Rick and Morty (2013). As a popular podcaster, his insight into Back to the Future is unique and colorful in ways that fans can laugh at. Joe Walser Joe Walser led the team that restored THE hero A-car from the original Back to the Future. But that’s not all. Joe was instrumental in the 25th anniversary celebration We’re Going Back and will be reprising the role for the 30th anniversary as well. Not much goes on in the fan community without Walser’s hand in it. Bill Shea If you’re looking for Back to the Future collectors, look no further than Bill Shea, if you can find him. Bill lives in rural Massachusetts but houses one of the most amazing collections of Back to the Future collectables in the world, including a screen used time machine, and Marty’s truck from BTTF 2&3. Patrick Shea The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Patrick Shea is second in command over the Shea’s massive Back to the Future collection.

Patrick’s love of automobiles has enabled him to be an invaluable asset in keeping the “wheels turning,” and certainly gets to reap the benefits. Terry & Oliver Holler Terry + Oliver Holler are both amazing selfless people who have time traveled just about everywhere, literally. This year they took their Delorean time machine to Hawaii completing the 50 state journey and raising money as members of Team Fox for the Michael J Fox Foundation, supporting Parkinson’s research. You can find them at fan shows all over the world with their one of a kind time machine. Fabien Riggall Fabien Riggall created Future Shorts in 2003 as a platform for innovative new filmmakers to preview their work. His passion and vision has driven the festival to become the biggest short-film festival of it’s kind. Recognizing a growing desire from cinemagoers for an experience that reaches beyond that of the traditional multiplex, Riggall set up Secret Cinema in 2007, which aimed to create ultra-immersive environments where the audience lives and breathes the film in site-specific locations.

The organization’s most recent production, Back to the Future, had 84,000 people attend over its six-week run, creating a record for the biggest live cinema event to date. Stephen Clark BTTF.com was founded in 1995 by Stephen Clark, originally intended as an online component to the official Back to the Future fan club and quarterly fan magazine he ran at the time, the Hill Valley Telegraph (1992-1996). Today it is the source for Back to the Future news and merchandise, and Clark is instrumental in bringing many products to market, as well as facilitating their distribution. Jill & Greg Henderson In 2014 Jill + Greg Henderson literally made fantasy into reality when they released the Hendo Hoverboard – the world’s first working hoverboard. While their company Arx Pax has visions of using hover technology to change the world, for now, we’ll just take the hoverboards. As two visionaries behind an amazing team, they are pioneering amazing technology into the future.

Our colleagues at OmniAuto.it decided to swap the DeLorean DMC-12 for a Ford GT time machine worthy of BTTF. The Ford GT concept’s design makes it look like it came from the future which is why the guys over at OmniAuto.it figured out it would be a suitable replacement for Dr. Emmett Brown’s DeLorean DMC-12 time machine.

While the car featured in the BTTF movies has an all-electric powertrain, the new Ford GT comes with a conventional V6 EcoBoost twin-turbo engine that pushes out more than 600 bhp (447 kW). To be worthy of a BTTF car, the hypothetical Ford GT time machine has received a flux capacitor and the Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor which in the movie allowed the DeLorean to generate the necessary 1.21 gigawatts to travel in time after hitting 88 mph. The real DMC-12 had an estimated top speed of 130 mph, so the new Ford GT is going to be substantially quicker than that. If you were hoping for a new Back to the Future movie, you’re out of luck as the franchise’s director Robert Zemeckis recently announced a remake will not come out in his lifetime. He went on to specify he hopes his estate will figure out a way to block a BTTF remake after his death, although he admits that it will be hard to stop this from happening. In Back to the Future 2, Biff goes back to 1955 to give himself the Sports Almanac.

When he returns, why does he return to an unchanged 2015? - Quora Quora Movies In Back to the Future 2, Biff goes back to 1955 to give himself the Sports Almanac. When he returns, why does he return to an unchanged 2015? As opposed to an alternate 2015 which took place 30 years after the dystopian 1985 in which Biff is rich and George is dead. Written May 9, 2011 There are two possible explanations: Biff needed to return the time machine to Doc & Marty for the plot to work; it doesn't make logical sense Characters get a 'grace period' to act before time paradoxes resolve themselves Biff (2015 original) returns to 2015 from 1955 because he has to get the time machine back to Doc and Marty. It's a moment for suspended disbelief because without his return of the time machine, our protagonists couldn't fix the problem & the movie would be over.

The bigger problem isn't that Biff (2015 original) went back to an unchanged 2015, it's that the 2015 version of Biff still existed at all! Once he gave the almanac to his younger self, he changed his own life path. The sad, hobbled man who had been waxing George McFly's car all those years ceased to be, as Biff (1955) became a gambling millionaire. An alternate explanation that fits with the way the trilogy dealt with time paradoxes is that Biff returned to his own unchanged reality because time hadn't resolved itself yet. In Back to the Future, Marty's brother and sister fade out of the family photo, then Marty himself begins to fade away as it appears that his mother and father might not share their first dance together. In the same way, a deleted scene from Back to the Future II showed Biff (2015) stumble out of the Delorean & fade away behind some trash cans when he returns to 2015 (unchanged)[1]. This implies that there's some 'grace period' during which time paradoxes resolve themselves.

That window is what gave Doc & Marty time to collect the time machine and return home. However, the director's decision to cut that fade-out scene from the film calls into question whether he really wanted it to be part of the BTTF universe. Updated Dec 4, 2011 While the other answers here are very good, a logical explanation (but probably far too complicated to be the actual rationale) is that if Biff doesn't return the time machine to 2015 so that Doc and Marty can get back to the newly created version of 1985, there would be an unresolvable paradox of a different sort than the trilogy's other time loops. 1955 Biff's acquisition of the Sports Almanac causes a divergence in the timeline which makes Biff rich, kills George McFly, and (most importantly) puts Doc Brown in an insane asylum. If Doc is institutionalized, he doesn't invent the time machine.

If the time machine hasn't been invented, Marty and Doc can't go to 2015, and Old Biff can't steal the time machine to go back and give his younger self the Almanac, which means that none of this mess gets started in the first place, which means Doc isn't institutionalized and is free to invent the time machine, etc. None of the other "paradoxes" we see of this type are allowed to occur, the main one being the threat to Marty's existence in the first movie. If Marty keeps his parents from getting together, he won't be born to keep his parents from getting together, etc. From here we can posit (or rationalize) an explanation or three, two of which were suggested in other answers. The universe abhors an infinite loop paradox. Changes to timelines that would result in this kind of paradox are unstable, and the universe naturally manages to negate them (by having Marty browbeat his father into being a badass, or by giving Doc and Marty an opportunity to get the Almanac back from Biff).

If this is the case, the DeLorean returns to the only 2015 that is possible; because Biff's 1985 has no time machine, it negates itself and can't continue into the future. Temporal inertia. An alternate, simpler explanation, is that the act of time travel either provides time travellers with some kind of temporary resistance to changes in the timeline, or that changes take "time" to propagate down the timeline. This would explain why Marty doesn't pop out of existence the instant he interferes with his parents' meet cute, why Old Biff and the DeLorean last long enough to get back to the original 2015, and why Jennifer, sleeping on the porch in 1985, doesn't just pop out of existence with Biff's dystopian 1985 and get replaced with a new everything-is-swell 1985 version, like everyone else there is (we know this because she retains her memories of 2015, although she mistakes them for a dream).

The fact that the DeLorean never disappears, despite the fact that most of Back to the Future II takes place in a universe in which it was never invented, lends credence to this theory. It's a movie. And a big budget family movie, at that. Screenwriters generally are just trying to create something that doesn't have any gaping plot holes, and aren't working to accomodate the weirdos like us who sit around overthinking the consequences of time travel in films, decades after they were released. Written May 9, 2011 The simple answer is that there was no way for Doc and Marty to have an adventure if Biff could not have returned to his original timeline. So the writers 'fudged' this little detail. According to the established in-world rules, Biff should not have been able to return the DeLorean to Doc and Marty in 2015 after his return to 1955. The reality around them should either have changed (as it did around Jennifer on her porch), or they should simply have ceased to be, as their jaunt forward from 1985 would have been "overwritten" by the new timeline as well.

Steve Davis' answer is very sound, and his logic for fitting this plot hole into the continuity of the "rules" of time-travel in the BTTF trilogy is defensible. But the simple answer is that it was a deliberate goof the writers hoped no one would notice, at least until after the movie was over.
