Trivia Doc Brown refers to "jigawatts" of electricity.

This is the now-obscure but once-standard pronunciation of the word "gigawatt", one billion watts. Nowadays it is usually pronounced with a hard "g" as in "gander" and "gold". In neo-Latin languages, still, it's pronounced with a soft "g". So he chose it.

(Fraggle Rock) – See all my reviews Zemeckis's 'Back To The Future' trilogy has been a childhood favourite for a long time. Having revisited it today, brought me to a nostalgic state. The 80's saw a lot of excellent original fun 'young' films like 'Back To The Future' (of course), 'Better Off Dead', 'Heathers', 'The Breakfast Club' etc. What really made these films immensely enjoyable then, and classics today, is that they really reflected what it was like being a young person in the 80s. The movies themselves were well written, well executed, well acted and they cut straight to the point. Back to 'Back To The Future'. This one is sheer fun, even today. There's an incredible energy about it but it still manages to stay an 'innocent' film. The music is very effective. It's slick and follows a steady pace. The special effects are decent. Though people might pick on the plausibility of the time travelling, I think this is really a very minor flaw because it is overall a well written movie and the point was to entertain. Yet, this is not to say that it's brainless entertainment.

I think it cleverly brings forth some interesting themes and I liked how they funnily used some ideas of Oedipus Rex's story. The acting is superb overall. Christopher Lloyd as the over-the-top mad scientist is a laugh riot. Michael J. Fox totally owns Marty McFly with his natural charisma, raw energy and brilliant dialogue delivery. Lea Thompson is cute and vivacious and Crispin Glover is good. 'Back To The Future' is one of the most enjoyable time-travelling classics. It's over 23 years old and it still hasn't gotten old. Sadly, they don't make it like this these days but then again we always can revisit them. That's why they're classics. 81 of 85 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Uploaded on Apr 2, 2011 Original scene from the first Back To The Future movie This is the scene where the DeLorean is introduced for the first time, serving as a time machine made by Doc Brown. Note: the scene is mirrored in order to prevent copy right issues with Universal Category Back to the Future™ - The DeLorean The DeLorean The Music Creating the Time Machine When Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale first wrote the script for Back to the Future in 1981, their concept for the time machine was originally set to be a refrigerator. Fearing that children would imitate the film and get trapped inside, they decided that not only should the time machine be mobile, but it should be a car. It was during the writing process that the DeLorean DMC-12 was gaining worldwide media attention, being one of the most anticipated new vehicles of the decade. Zemeckis and Gale soon decided on the DeLorean for its futuristic look, notably for the scene where Marty McFly crashes the DeLorean into the Peabody barn in 1955; the gullwing doors made the car look like a UFO.

Future Facts: For the first film, three DeLorean automobiles were purchased for modification into the now-famous time machine. An additional three vehicles were purchased for the two sequels, and a full-sized fiberglass DeLorean replica was built for the flying scenes in Back to the Future Part II. The time machine was designed Ron Cobb, Andrew Probert , and Michael Scheffe. Kevin Pike's special effects company Filmtrix built the first three DeLorean time machines in just ten weeks. Many of the props on the time machines were electrical industrial surplus. However, two iconic props were off-the-shelf items: the nuclear reactor was made from a Dodge Polaris hubcap, and the "Mr. Fusion" unit was created from a Krups coffee grinder. During filming when the time machine's doors were iced-down, the doors would suddenly fall and hit the actors in the head. Special effects crews had to heat the gullwing door struts with hair dryers between takes in order to keep the doors up. For Back to the Future Part III, two Deloreans were outfitted with special dune buggy chassis and high performance Volkswagen engines for scenes filmed in the Western terrain.

During the scenes where the 1880's locomotive had to push the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour, a number of these shots were filmed in reverse to keep the actors and stuntmen safe. During the scene when the time machine crashes into the Peabody barn, the digital speedometer starts to count upwards at the last moment. This is because of the design of the electrical circuit. During the filming of Back to the Future Part II, the fiberglass DeLorean was accidentally dropped close to Michael J. Fox , who was standing nearby. The DeLoreans used in Back to the Future retained the original V6 motor. The sound effects artists changed the sound of the engine to a Porsche 928 V8. The sound of the DeLorean gullwing door opening was created from a car window regulator. It is the same sound used at the beginning of the film with Doc's automatic dog feeder. The original time machines had numeric time circuit displays only. Director Robert Zemeckis decided to change them to alpha-numeric displays during filming. Due to the time and expense involved, lithographic negatives were created from an LED display catalog.

The "A" and "B" car throughout filming kept the numeric only displays (which can still be seen with a keen eye for detail). The filmmakers emphasized the homemade look of the DeLorean time machine so that viewers could believe that Doc Brown actually built the car in his garage. They didn't want it to look too sleek like Knight Rider's KITT or the helicopter from Airwolf. (Interesting enough, KITT was designed by Michael Scheffe, and Airwolf was designed by Andrew Probert .) Industrial Light & Magic created a flying DeLorean time machine for the end of the first movie. For the second film, ILM modified the same model by adding an interior and miniature figures of Doc Brown and Marty McFly. The "B" stunt car from all three films was rigged with explosives and hit by the train when Marty returned to 1985 at the end of Back to the Future Part III. Numerous fans have spent years building and recreating their own Back to the Future time machine replicas. DeLorean time machine | Futurepedia | Fandom powered by Wikia Main article: World's first temporal displacement Doc and Marty stand in the fire trails left behind by the DeLorean on the first test.

Doc Brown revealed his creation to his friend Marty McFly at Twin Pines Mall , in the early morning of October 26 , 1985, and for its first test, Doc sent his dog Einstein one minute into the future. The sequence of events that followed were as so; after Doc revved up the engine to 65 mph while braked, he released the brake sending the car towards Doc and Marty. A faint glow developed at the front of the car and then engulfed the vehicle. The coils lit up, internal circuits glowed, and the flux capacitor fired rapidly. Suddenly the car seemed to explode just before it hit Doc and Marty. Fire trails then scorched the pavement where the vehicle would have passed through, completing the temporal displacement sequence. Marty: "Jesus Christ, Doc. You disintegrated Einstein!" Doc: "Calm down, Marty, I didn't disintegrate anything. The molecular structure of both Einstein and the car are completely intact!" Marty: "Well, where the hell are they?!" Doc: "The appropriate question is "When the hell are they?" You see, Einstein has just become the world's first time traveler. I sent him into the future!

One minute into the future to be precise. And at exactly 1:21 A.M. and zero seconds we will catch up to him and the time machine." — Doc and Marty after the time travel experiment. For Einstein, the trip was instantaneous, but to Marty and Doc they had to wait exactly one minute to catch up to Einstein in the timeline. In the meantime, Marty asked why a DeLorean was used. Doc explained that it needed some style and implied that the stainless steel construction of the car helped it in temporal displacement. But Doc didn't fully explain why because the watch he was wearing at the time beeped, warning him that the DeLorean's return was only seconds away. The car suddenly appeared where Doc and Marty were standing and screeched to a halt as a frozen shell. Supercooled from traveling through time, the gullwing door was troublesome for Doc to open while using his hands. Inside the car, Einstein was unharmed, much to the surprise of Marty. Doc then showed Marty the interior and its controls. "First, you turn the time circuits on. This read-out tells you where you're going. This one tells you where you are.

This one tells you where you were." —Doc Brown While inputting dates on the keypad, Doc used July 4 , 1776 (the date the American declaration of Independence was signed) and December 25 , 0000 (the date of the birth of Christ) as examples, before inputting "a red-letter date in the history of science, November 5 , 1955 ". From there he left the cockpit of the DeLorean and reminisced about the past, particularly about Old Man Peabody owning the land that is now Twin Pines Mall and his pine tree farm . "My, things sure have changed. I can remember when this was all open land as far as the eye can see. Old Man Peabody owned all of this. He had this crazy idea... about breeding pine trees." —Doc talking to Marty "Holy shit! Let's see if you bastards can do 90." —Marty McFly Soon after a new pellet of plutonium was inserted into the time machine, the Libyans who he stole the plutonium from intervened in a Volkswagen and shot Doc dead. Marty ran into the DeLorean to try to escape the Libyans.

Marty accidentally turned the time circuits (still set to 1955 ) on while shifting, and as he avoided being destroyed by a rocket-propelled grenade , he sped up to 88 and entered temporal displacement . Suddenly, Marty went from a mall parking lot in 1985, to a field in 1955, and the DeLorean crashed into a scarecrow and then the Peabodys' barn. A radiation suit -clad Marty trips as he leaves the DeLorean. "It looks like an airplane... without wings." —Otis Peabody For a moment, Marty was stunned, and the Peabody family ran from their house to the barn to investigate. Believing that the vehicle was from another world, they screamed in horror as Marty lifted the gullwing door and stepped out, dressed in a radiation suit . Marty was almost shot from the buckshot of Otis Peabody's shotgun , and ran back to the safety of the time machine, floored the accelerator, and smashed through the doors of the barn. After escaping from Peabody's shotgun, the car ran over one of the two pines that Peabody had been growing.

This was the first effect of Marty's trip into the past that would alter the future (the "Twin Pines Mall" would become the "Lone Pine Mall"). The DeLorean at Lyon Estates in 1955. Marty pulled the DeLorean onto a highway that ran by the future site of Lyon Estates . He immediately stopped and viewed the undeveloped land stretch far out into the distance, questioning whether or not it was a dream. A meter in the DeLorean indicated that it was out of plutonium , and the car shut down. Marty failed to get it running again and decided to hide the DeLorean behind the Lyon Estates sign, covered by a few shrubs, and walked the two miles to town . "It works! Ha ha, it works! I finally invented something that works." —Young Doc Brown After convincing the 1955 Doc that he was indeed from the future, Marty and Doc went back to the site to recover the time machine. Doc opened the door and turned on the flux capacitor which he had envisioned after his fall earlier that day.

The DeLorean was driven back to Doc's garage where it was hidden under a dropcloth until the night of the thunderstorm, November 12 . On the 12th, Doc brought the time machine to Courthouse Square in downtown Hill Valley, and started working on the cable assembly that would harness the impending lightning strike. Arriving late, Marty was briefed by Doc, just as the storm moved in and took down a tree. Marty drove the DeLorean to the starting line at the Bluebird Motel , and inserted a tall connecting hook into the flux capacitor. He then waited for the alarm to go off while Doc reconnected the cable, and decided to reset the controls to arrive 11 minutes earlier than scheduled. With that, the engine suddenly died, and left Marty trying to restart it. Marty finally (and unexpectedly) succeeded in restarting the engine after head-butting the horn in frustration, and took off. The DeLorean reached the cable just as the lightning struck, and Doc made the connection, sending the time machine back to 1985.

In 1985, Red the Bum was awoken by the sonic boom of the DeLorean, followed by the sound of a crash at the Town Theater . Marty jumped out of the icy time machine to check out downtown and to verify that he had gotten back to the future, and back to his normal year of 1985. Returning to the car to save Doc, Marty tried to drive off and the engine died once again. This was the last time in the trilogy that it had done so. The Libyans passed him on the street, and Marty ran back to the mall. There, he saw the first DeLorean make the jump to 1955, with the terrorists' van crashing into a photo booth . Originally believing he was too late, Marty was in grief, then surprise. Doc recovered, and revealed that he was wearing a bulletproof vest , having read the warning letter that Marty had written 30 years earlier. The DeLorean lifts off, bound for 2015. Doc returned to downtown to start the DeLorean up, and drove Marty back to his home in Lyon Estates.

Doc told Marty he would go roughly 30 years into the future, "a nice round number". Doc backed the DeLorean up with enough room to reach 88 mph on the street and vanished in three sonic booms. To the future The next morning, Doc returned to the house. Marty had discovered that his life had changed for the better. His visiting girlfriend Jennifer Parker , and he, were interrupted by the sonic boom and wind blast. The newly upgraded DeLorean knocked over some trashcans, and a futuristically-garbed Doc emerged from the vehicle. Doc made use of his upgraded time machine by adding garbage to the Mr. Fusion as fuel. Plutonium was no longer needed after the trip to the future. Doc told Marty and Jennifer of their future family, and the trouble that occurred (or would occur) with their children. Marty: "Hey Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88." Doc: "Roads? Where we're going we don't need...

roads." — Discussion between Doc and Marty in the DeLorean before takeoff The DeLorean, after having received a hover conversion in the future, lifted off the ground and its wheels folded providing thrust. The rear louver then propelled it forward down the street, and Doc turned the car around to get the speed needed to make temporal displacement. This entire sequence was witnessed by Biff Tannen in the McFly driveway. The time machine entered October 21 , 2015 , then descended through the clouds into a busy skyway , nearly in the wrong lane of multilevel traffic. Doc pulled off onto an exit ramp to downtown Hill Valley. He landed the DeLorean in an alleyway, just outside Courthouse Square, then left while Marty completed his mission to save Marty, Jr. After Doc recovered Einstein from a suspended animation kennel , he pulled the DeLorean out into the open, where Old Biff saw it, and eventually put two and two together to realize that they were time travelers. Biff steals the DeLorean. "Flying DeLorean? Haven't seen one of those in...

thirty years" —Old Biff Biff followed Doc and Marty in a taxi cab, and while the DeLorean was parked outside Hilldale , Biff stole it and went back to 1955 to hand the Grays Sports Almanac (that Doc had thrown away) to his younger self, thus altering history . In a matter of minutes, Biff returned the vehicle in the same position; however, he was feeling the effects of changing history. In pain, he left the silver-colored bag and receipt for the almanac, as well as the top of his cane which broke off in the DeLorean when he doubled over. Getting out of view, Biff slumped to the ground and faded from existence behind a parked car. Doc and Marty, unaware that anything had happened, returned to the time machine with Jennifer and headed back for 1985. An alternate history "Imagine that this line represents time. At some point in the past, the timeline skewed into this tangent creating an alternate 1985. Alternate for you, me, Jennifer and Einstein...But reality for everyone else." —Doc showing Marty 1985A on a blackboard.

By this time it was too late to prevent the changing of the timeline. Flying at a high altitude, the DeLorean was nearly hit by an airliner in the sky. The time circuits began to malfunction as well, indicating 1885 temporarily. After discovering the truth behind the alternate 1985, Doc and Marty left Einstein in Doc's garage, and Jennifer at her house, where time would alter around them pending a change in the past. They traveled back to November 12 , 1955, the date that Biff revealed to have been the day he had gotten the almanac. Doc hooks onto the pennants. Doc parked the time machine behind the same sign that Marty hid it the first time in 1955. Marty notified Doc of his status with Biff, and after some repairs, Doc jumped into the DeLorean to pick him up at Hill Valley High School . As Doc left Lyon Estates, the car had hooked onto some of the pennants on the sign. Doc and Marty followed Biff in his car, and hovered over him, until Marty thought of using the hoverboard to get closer.

Marty grabbed the almanac after some fighting, but was faced with being in the middle of a long tunnel from which to escape. At the end of the tunnel, Doc dropped the string of pennants that he had hooked onto earlier, and Marty grabbed the rope in time to prevent himself from getting run over by Biff (who crashed, for the second time in a week, into a manure truck). Returning to Lyon Estates to destroy the almanac, Doc lowered Marty onto the ground, but deemed it unsafe to land the DeLorean in the storm. Marty successfully burned the almanac in a pail, reverting all effects that had been created by 2015 Biff. The celebration was short-lived; lightning struck a tree close to Marty, who warned Doc about getting struck himself. In the next instant, however, lightning struck the DeLorean as feared, spinning it up to 88 mph (thus creating the fire trails in the shape of backward 9's), scrambling the circuits, and sent Doc and the DeLorean to January 1 , 1885 [1] Less than a minute later, a man, representing Western Union , appeared on the rainy street and handed Marty a letter.

The letter , from Doc, had been held in their possession for over 70 years, with instructions for delivery to that exact position, at that exact moment, to that exact person — Marty. Marty ran back downtown, arriving just moments after his other self was going back to the future, and after the temporal displacement, he encountered the 1955 Doc, who then fainted. Marty: "OK, Doc, just calm down. It's me. It's me! It's Marty!" Doc: "No, it can't be you! I just sent you back to the future!" Marty: "Yeah, I know. But now I'm back. I'm back from the future." — Marty to Doc before Doc exclaims "Great Scott" and faints. The DeLorean inside the mine. The letter, read the next morning by Doc, stated that the DeLorean was buried in the Delgado Mine , and provided repair instructions on fixing the time circuits with 1955 parts. At the Boot Doc and Marty uncovering the DeLorean inside the mine. Hill Cemetery , outside the mine, Marty and Doc stumbled onto older Doc's tombstone from 1885.

It was now Marty's mission to save Doc in the past, and bring him back to the future as well. Doc replaced the rotting tires with fresh whitewall tires , and replaced all the broken components with 1955-era vacuum tubes and other electronics. He also put gas in the tank of the car, since 1985 Doc had to drain all the fluids from the car, including the gas, before putting it into long-term storage. The Old West The DeLorean encounters a tribe of local Indians. "Marty, you're just not thinking fourth-dimensionally. You'll instantly be transported to 1885 and those Indians won't even be there..." —Doc's instructions for Marty at the Pohatchee 1955 Doc and Marty set up at the Pohatchee Drive-In Theatre , far away from town, so that Marty's arrival would not be noticed by residents in 1885. Doc set the time circuits to the day after his 1885 counterpart sent the letter on September 1 .

Marty hesitated to drive at the screen because of a wall with Indians painted on it; but as Marty reached 88 mph, the 1955 wall was gone, but was replaced with real, 1885, Pohatchee Indians, who chased after the DeLorean, which Marty hid in a bear cave . Marty avoided the Indians, and the U.S. Cavalry that was chasing them, but discovered that an Indian had shot an arrow into the engine of the DeLorean. Upon removing the arrow, Marty accidentally tears a hole in the fuel line of the car. He pays it no mind as he is chased out of the cave by the bear living there at the time, and fell down the hill and landed on the property of his Irish ancestors. The DeLorean was recovered by Doc, but there was no gasoline available in 1885 to replace the fuel that had leaked out. [2] Marty wasn't concerned as he stated Mr. Fusion could refuel the DeLorean. Doc said that was impossible as the engine always ran on gasoline and Mr. Fusion only powered the flux compacitor and the flight circuits.

Doc then plotted means of powering the car, including having his horses try to reach 88 mph out in the desert, they only made 30 mph. Doc received a strong alcohol concoction from the town bartender, Chester , that he hoped would have a similar effect to gasoline, but instead, blew the fuel injection manifold out. This left only one available option: pushing the DeLorean up to 88, which came in the form of a locomotive . Doc and Marty's plan was to hijack, or borrow, the locomotive, and take it to an unused spur that ran to Shonash Ravine , where it would push the car before running off the end of the track. On the night of September 6 , Doc placed the car onto the track. There, it awaited the locomotive. Their plan was successfully enacted on September 7 , and though Marty was sent back to 1985, Doc and Clara Clayton remained in the past. The DeLorean reached temporal displacement just before hitting the buffer at the edge of the ravine; however the train crashed through and landed into the ravine in a large explosion. The DeLorean is destroyed by a locomotive.

Back in 1985, the DeLorean traveled along the railroad tracks for about a mile until it came to rest on the track outside Hilldale. Immediately, Marty was stunned to see a modern locomotive barreling towards him, and escaped from the DeLorean just before it was destroyed by the train. After it had passed by, Marty gazed at the time circuits and flux capacitor in shock just as they flickered on and then off for the last time. "...Well Doc, it's destroyed... Just like you wanted..." —Marty standing at the remains of the DeLorean Marty and Jennifer, who had remained on her porch, both went through the wreckage. Then, peculiarly, the railroad crossing's bells sounded and its gates went down. No trains were to be seen. Just then, the Jules Verne Train appeared, and blew Marty and Jennifer back several feet. This was Doc's way to return without the aid of the DeLorean. After introducing Marty and Jennifer to the two new members of the family, Jules and Verne , Doc handed Marty a gift — the photograph of them standing in front of the clock — and gave some words of advice before leaving to times unknown.

"Your future hasn't been written yet! No one's has! Your future is whatever you make of it. So make it a GOOD one!" —Doc to Marty and Jennifer Marty: "Where ya going Doc? Back to the future?" Doc: "No, already been there!" — Doc and Marty during the final scene of Back to the Future Part III Just before its destruction, the DeLorean can be seen to have parts from every time period it has been in. Inside the time machine was also a walkie-talkie from 1985A. Rebirth of the DeLorean Note: The following section is considered non-canon or is disputed in canonicity. Six months after the destruction of the DeLorean, another DeLorean time machine, nearly identical to the one used previously by Marty and Doc, appeared outside of Doc's garage . Upon following Einstein's clues to the source of the time machine, Marty drove it back to 1931 , where he found Doc in jail for allegedly blowing up a speakeasy .

Doc told Marty that the DeLorean he had been driving was a temporal duplicate , created when the DeLorean was struck by lightning ; the original going seventy years back to 1885, and the other version seventy years forward to 2025 . Doc went forward in time with the Jules Verne Train , recovered the second DeLorean, fixed it up, and began traveling again. Doc also installed a program that would activate upon Doc not returning to the vehicle within a certain length of time. This automatic retrieval feature allowed the DeLorean to return to a set time and location of Doc's choosing. [3] Around 1991 , Doc Brown and his family returned to Hill Valley in the Train and settled down in the present. Marty had, by now, been attending Hill Valley College , and he visited the Brown family regularly. The DeLorean was rebuilt with added features, including a new audio receptive series of time circuits, submersible capabilities, a pincer, and having the ability to fold into a compact suitcase-sized box (which still weighed as much as the car at 2,796 pounds [4] ).

The greatest improvement to the DeLorean was the addition of spatial displacement , which allowed the car to travel not only through time, but through space. Soon after, Doc built additional DeLoreans for use by the Institute of Future Technology . In 1931A The DeLorean time machine burned out after Edna burnt down Hill Valley . One version of the DeLorean was stolen by Edna Strickland who took it back to 1876 to light Beauregard Tannen's half-finished saloon on fire, accidentally burning down Hill Valley and the DeLorean in the process. When Doc and Marty arrive at her residence in the newly created 1931A , the vehicle is a rusted hulk of metal on Edna's property. 2200s By the 23rd century in an alternate timeline, Vandar , who ruled the Imperial Planets had time travelers from various continuums brought to him to learn about different histories so that he could avoid any mistakes that would cost him his empire. Afterwards, he took the time machines as a keepsake, with the DeLorean eventually shown in his collection.

[1] [2] The passenger(s) of the DeLorean during this time was unspecified. [5] The timeline was undone thanks to the combined efforts of the crew of the USS Enterprise and the Legion of Super-Heroes . [6] As such, the DeLorean and the passenger(s) were freed from Vandar's grasp. Non-canon or disputable information ends here. Behind the scenes A rack of vacuum tubes and other components strapped to the hood replaces the time control microchip. Model 3D from the DeLorean. The cutout Collector Card for the toy DeLorean Car (Modified Engine) (top right-hand corner) on the rear packaging of Funrise Inc.'s Back to the Future Part II three-vehicle pack. In the animated series, the DeLorean is supposedly rebuilt, regardless of what Doc said about the dangers of time traveling. In the first script of Back to the Future the time machine was shaped like a refrigerator. The idea was scrapped, for fear of kids climbing into and becoming trapped in refrigerators. Because an abandoned refrigerator can become an inescapable trap for a small child, laws in most nations require that the door be removed when such an item is disposed of.

Coincidentally, the final version of the time machine was composed of stainless steel, from which many refrigerators are made of. At the end of Back to the Future, the alarm clock that the 1955 Doc had placed on the dashboard of the DeLorean could be seen. But in the beginning of Back to the Future Part II, it is no longer on the dashboard of the DeLorean. In 1989 , to tie-in with the theatrical release of Back to the Future Part II, Funrise, Inc. released as part of their Micro Action Super Cars series a three-vehicle pack, consisting of the DeLorean Car (Modified Engine), the Back to the Future Police Car and the Back to the Future Taxicab . The rear of the packaging featured three cutout Collector Cards which, in the cases of the Police Car and the Taxicab, gave a little more information about the vehicles than was mentioned in either the movie or the novelization. The DeLorean uses a manual transmission . Construction of the DeLorean for the films The base of the DeLorean's nuclear reactor was constructed from a hubcap of a Dodge Polara . The engine was replaced with a faster Porsche engine.

Aircraft parts and blinking lights were added for additional effects. Since all American models of the actual DMC-12 had speedometers that only read up to 85 miles per hour, a modified instrument cluster was installed, with a speedometer that reached 95. (A law from the administration of President Jimmy Carter prescribed that automobile speedometers could not read more than 85 mph with the intent that if people could not read speeds higher than that, that they wouldn't drive faster than that.) In popular culture The Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine defines a "delorean" as a unit of power equal to 1.21 jigowatts, and uses 88 miles per hour as a benchmark for comparing speeds. See: " speed cheetah ". In the game Borderlands there is an achievement on the Xbox 360 version entitled "1.21 Gigawatts" which is a clear reference to the amount of electricity needed for the time travel. In the game Sonic CD (4th generation iPhone/iPod Only) there is an achievement called "88 miles per hour". Sonic's way of time traveling is similar to Back to the Future .

Similarly to Sonic CD, there is a trophy for the PS3 exclusive game Ratchet and Clank (Future): a Crack in Time called 88 MPH, though the action for doing so is by preventing a time travel rather than travelling through time. In Grand Theft Auto V, there are several power stations which have the label "Danger: 1.21 GW", also referring to the amount of electricity needed.

Add a photo to this gallery Notes and references ↑ In Back to the Future: The Game it is stated that the unforeseen jump created a carbon copy that was sent to an unknown time period. The car with Doc lost its ability to fly, whereas the other one retained the trait. ↑ See Official Back to the Future FAQ , Question Number 1.20, for the filmmakers' explanation why Doc would not have used the gasoline from the DeLorean that had brought Doc to 1885.

How the DeLorean became the iconic film car - Roadshow Go How the DeLorean became the iconic film car The screenwriters of "Back to the Future" chose the stainless steel beauty as the movie's time machine after the car's namesake made the news in a cocaine bust. Restoring the 'Back to the Future' DeLorean Universal Studios gives CNET an exclusive look at the documentary "Outatime: Restoring the DeLorean." by Rochelle Garner Close Drag If John Z. DeLorean hadn't been arrested in 1982 with a briefcase full of cocaine, the iconic time machine in "Back to the Future" might have been a fridge. A lead-lined refrigerator served that role in the first two drafts of the screenplay, said Bob Gale who, along with Bob Zemeckis, co-wrote all three "Back to the Future" movies, the first of which debuted in 1985. "Bob Zemeckis came up with the idea," Gale recalled. "He said, 'Wouldn't it make more sense to build the time machine into a car?'" So why did they choose that car? "DeLorean was on trial. He was news.

And that stainless steel finish looks great." Some DeLorean owners go to great lengths to make their cars look just like the one seen in all three "Back to the Future" movies. Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images The decision created the most iconic car in all of cinema. Without it, the DeLorean, which had fallen out of production by 1983, would be little more than an interesting footnote in automotive history, like the Bricklin before it. The $25,000 DeLorean was out of reach for the average buyer. Its torpid acceleration (0 to 60 mph in 9 seconds) diminished its appeal for the well-heeled speed enthusiast. Thanks to "Back to the Future," though, those quibbles no longer matter. "Everyone who owns a DeLorean either got it because of the movie or kept it because of the movie," Gale said. That inextricable association just might push someone to purchase a DeLorean on Wednesday. That's because October 21, 2015, marks the date Marty McFly rode to the future in Doc Brown's time machine.

That was then Buying a new DeLorean in 1982 would be like spending almost $63,000 today . The car is a lot more affordable now, according to Ronald Ferguson, president of the DeLorean Owners Association. Jonesin' for a DeLorean to call your own? Figure on spending about $40,000 for parts, labor and purchase price to get yourself "a good driver." "A nice car is one where all the body panels are undented, the fiberglass understructure hasn't been damaged and the interior is intact," Ferguson said. "Beyond that, there's not a lot that can go wrong with it. About two-thirds of all the cars made are still around." 12 'Back to the Future' gear for right now (pictures) It helps that parts are plentiful. That's because DeLorean Motor built enough parts to support each model year for 10 years, based on producing 25,000 cars a year. Yet in its two-year run, the company built only about 9,200 cars. "The key is there are enough parts left over to build entire cars," Ferguson said.

Some owners restore their stainless steel babies to look like they just rolled off the factory in Belfast, Ireland. Others modify their cars to look exactly like the DeLorean from "Back to the Future." Flux capacitor, anyone? "It is the elephant in the room," said Ferguson. "Let's just say it's an interesting platform that people like to modify." Saving the future In an interesting twist, the urge to modify their cars to look like the one in "Back to the Future" helped save the actual DeLorean used in all three movies. It was a mess, rusting away on the back lot of Universal Studios. It was broken and home to "every rodent known to man," said Gale, who spotted the iconic DeLorean while visiting the studio in 2011. MORE OF THE FUTURE We're living in the future with shiny tech -- and plenty of duds "Some of the fans had been replicating the car from the movie for years," Gale said. "I knew a lot of them, talked to them, and they said they could figure out how to save the car. I even had one of the fans bring his car and show it to the folks from Universal Tours.

I said, 'These guys can make your car look like this car.'" Gale and a team of DeLorean enthusiasts spent more than two years restoring the car to its original glory. A documentary of their effort, called "Outatime: Restoring the DeLorean," is now available as bonus material on a Blu-ray and DVD edition from Universal Pictures celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first movie's release. You can watch an exclusive trailer of that documentary above. Which brings up the big question about Gale. Does he own a DeLorean? "Owning a DeLorean is like working with a beautiful but temperamental actress," he said. "She looks beautiful on film, but you don't want to go home with her." So that would be a "no." Five DeLorean facts Thinking about buying a DeLorean? Here are five things you might not know about the car: 1. The actual model name is the DMC-12, so-called because the company wanted to sell the car for $12,000. Production changes more than doubled the price to $25,000. 2.

DeLorean Motor made about 9,200 cars between 1981 and 1982, all in its factory in Belfast, Ireland. 3. Early investors included comedian Johnny Carson and singer Sammy Davis Jr. 4. US law at the time mandated that the speedometer only go to 85 mph. 5. DeLorean produced enough spare parts to support 10 years' worth of production and expected to make 25,000 cars a year. Perfect Replica of BACK TO THE FUTURE Delorean For Sale. Minus Working Flux Capacitor | Collider | Collider Perfect Replica of BACK TO THE FUTURE Delorean For Sale. Minus Working Flux Capacitor SHARE TWEET 0 If you’re a Back to the Future fan, an auction has just gone up on eBay that will make you wish you had an extra $70 grand lying around. That’s because someone is selling “the most screen accurate Back to the Future Delorean Time Machine replica to ever appear on eBay”. At least according to the seller. But after looking over the pictures, I have to say, he might be right.

I am absolutely floored by how accurate the car looks to what was on screen, and I really suggest hitting the jump and looking at some of the pictures. Also, the key features of the car are incredible. Here’s some of the highlights: – Built on a beautiful, super-clean, stock 1981 5-speed manual transmission DMC-12 with over $16,000 of mechanical work and upgrades performed at DMC California in September of 2008. — Approx. 78K miles on vehicle. — Programmable time circuits which function just like those in the film. — Functioning digital speedometer on the dashboard (reads actual vehicle speed). — Main Time Circuit switch functions just like in the film, with all sound effects. — All interior indicators and switches light up, just like in the film, — Sound effects for door openings. — Includes “Plutonium rods,” which can be loaded in to the “reactor” on the rear of car, just like in the film. — Exterior flux band lighting — Custom “95 MPH” in-dash speedometer like the one mocked up for the film. The stock Delorean speedometer only goes up to 85MPH.

— Screen-accurate “OUTATIME” metal-stamped license plate with 1986 registration tag. — Eagle Goodyear GT tires, as seen in the film (not pictured). Here’s what was written on the eBay page with some of the pictures from the auction. Check out the actual auction for even more pictures. Well, if you’ve been looking for a Delorean Time Machine, look no further. This is the most screen accurate Back to the Future Delorean Time Machine replica to ever appear on eBay. It is a real masterpiece. You might be asking yourself why it’s so expensive? Well, try to build a super-accurate Delorean Time Machine yourself, and you’ll quickly see how time consuming it is. That last 20% of accuracy takes 500% more time and effort. You also might wonder if you could just try to buy one of the “real” cars from the movie. Well, sadly, the “actual” film cars have been rotting away on the Universal backlot for the last 25 years, being picked apart and neglected. You wouldn’t want it.

This car is what you want, a car that looks exactly like what you saw in the film, with all the cool lights, sounds and buttons you thought the car in the film had (but never really did). People are often really disappointed when they see a prop up close. Movie props are designed to be filmed from a distance, but this car truly looks and feels “real” even up close. It is in many ways “better” than the “real” car, as many replica props often are, because the people who build them spend so much more time and effort tending to every last detail. Changes in my life are forcing me to part with this amazing machine, but I’m sure someone out there will appreciate its beauty and unmatched attention to detail. Pictures don’t even really do it justice. I have had a blast owning it, and now it just needs someone else to enjoy the ride. I want you to be thrilled with your purchase just like I was, so please don’t bid if you can’t afford it, or if you don’t know what you’re buying. In the end, this is a 1:1 scale model, and needs to be treated with love and care; I want it to last a lifetime.

Offered for sale: 1981 Delorean DMC-12 expertly modified to look exactly like the vehicle featured in the film “Back to the Future.” This incredibly accurate replica of the Delorean Time Machine was painstakingly built by Gary Weaver, owner of over the course of 2 years, from 2006-2008. This is the only car Gary has ever built on commission, and, other than his own personal car, is the only one he has finished to his complete satisfaction. There is a small community of Delorean Time Machine enthusiasts who convert their stock Deloreans in to time machine replicas, and right from the beginning, Gary was one of the few striving for complete “screen accuracy.” His website served as a hub of activity for the entire hobby, and his skills and attention to detail were the envy of everyone else trying to build their own conversion. Gary is even featured in an upcoming documentary about the Delorean Time Machine. By the time this car was finished, he had spent over 6 years researching parts, refining fabrication techniques and essentially preparing to build what is truly the one of, if not the most accurate Delorean Time Machine replica vehicle currently in existence.

Most Time Machine replicas you will see probably have at least one part made by Gary Weaver, but this is the only car made completely from Gary’s parts, and assembled by Gary himself. The build quality, and unmatched attention to every detail no matter how minute, set this car in a league of its own. It is clearly a labor of love. The Delorean Time Machine is without a doubt the most difficult movie vehicle to accurately recreate, and as a result most people begin to cut corners right off the bat, and say “close enough.” Building one requires a combination of custom fabrication and a myriad of surplus aircraft and electronics parts. You can spend months just searching for a specific part, and that’s after you just spent months figuring our what the part was in the first place. Anyone can throw together a car with some of the key pieces, but to someone with a real attention to detail, this is the car that just looks “right.” Even up close, this car seems like it could take you to another time. From an investment standpoint, this car is equivalent to buying a piece of art from a highly skilled artist or craftsman, it will only go up in value.

It’s the difference between buying a cheap violin or a Stradivarius; both will make music, but only one is a piece of art truly worth investing in. If you buy the best, you never regret it later. With several documentaries and two Delorean biopics coming out in the next few years, interest in these cars is bound to skyrocket. This car was built by someone with an incredible amount of talent and skill, motivated by a love of the car and the films. It is doubtful you will ever find that perfect storm of circumstances again.
