Back to the Future, starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Llyod as Marty McFly and Doctor Emmett Brown is an absolute cinematic classic and regarded as one of the best movies of all time. It spawned two sequels, countless memes, and remains an incredibly popular film to this day.
Back to the Future does raise some questions though. Like how is Doc Brown so lovable while also being so sketchy (animal testing, dealing with terrorists...) Why is this movie so focused on Marty’s mom trying to seduce him? Is this really a family movie? How did Doc and Marty even meet? Why did Doc flip-flop on his passionate speech about not learning things about the future? What happened to the Marty from the new timeline that “our” Marty replaces?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Back to the Future! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

[@jp3813]

@@LaurenGlenn Perhaps the lightning would get weaker the longer it has to travel? Or maybe to attract less attention from the city. Probably not even enough time for one man to set that all up in time. As for the fuel, the FAQ section of the BTTF trilogy home media actually addresses that. The mechanic's logic is that long storage tends to require the tank to be emptied. While the time traveler's logic is that opening up the cave and closing it again, likely both using explosives, could result in a paradox if the car gets damaged or buried for good. The real head-scratcher in Part 3 is Doc not considering that stealing a train, crashing it, & stranding those passengers could have drastic repercussions to the timeline.

Fun fact: The original title for Back to the Future was going to be "The spaceman from pluto" Fun Fact 2: The time machine was originally going to be a fridge, but the writers were scared kids would be putting themselves into fridges after seeing the movie

I choose to believe Marty gave himself eleven minutes to ensure he wouldn’t be around in his own past to stop past him from going to the past, but theoretically give himself enough time to warn and help Doc Similarly I believe Doc waited to read the letter until around the time he knew Marty would return to to ensure he could read and prepare but not so much he changed the future to any further extent

yeah Marty kinda intuited what they said in part 2, better not to meet yourself. not sure about the letter tho... I guess Doc's simply a scientist, he needs to know stuff, if it can be known.

That moment you realize “Spaceman from Pluto” was actually going to be the title.......

Yeah, apparently some producer guy hated the name Back To The Future and seriously tried to butt in and crowbar that crap name in there (I think it's a reference to a TV show Marty's dad is watching at one point), and they had to fight to keep the original name. Now that's some straight Hollywood B.S. right there

[@xxxaragon]

and this isn't even some "in hindsight" thing. "Spaceman from Pluto" sounds like a 50's b-movie (which fits the idea of the dad watching it) but doesn't seem to fit the tone of the film at all. "Back to the Future" however, already has an interesting premise IN the title (because obviously one wouldn't normally be able to go BACK to the future).

People make waaaaaay too much of the word "back" being used in the title. It's just an abbreviated way of saying "return to the future".

Except there are two timelines: the one Marty originally comes from, and the new one where Marty affected the past and his Dad is a writer etc. In the original timeline Marty hasn't affected the past, which means Berry write Johnny B Goode in the original timeline

@@Matthew-ve7uv what would happen if Marty went back in time again before the concert where he plays the song and just waited the evening out? Which of the two futures would happen?

[@jonathanw1019]

@@Matthew-ve7uv Berry still writes Johnny B Goode in the new one, too. Marty had played most of the song, including the iconic intro, well before Marvin called his cousin, and phone technology didn't exactly have the best fidelity in the 1950s, especially over long distance. The most Chuck, who was probably woken up to accept the phone call, being in the midwest at the time, would have heard is 12 bar blues in 4/4 time, and a lot of loud noise/distortion. If there was nothing made prior to JbG, the idea is plausible, but most of the song, lyrics aside, had been covered already in music by Bill Haley and Louis Jordan in prior years/decades.
