Doc told Marty not to worry about what anyone thought of him. He said that advice had worked out for him, as he had everything in life that he needed, his dog , Einstein, and his inventions. Marty looked curiously at the car under the tarp, and left the garage. The next day , Marty was playing a Wild Gunman arcade game at 7-Eleven.
He turned around, with the lightgun aimed at Jennifer. She jokingly raised her hands in the air, calling him Clint Eastwood , and telling him not to shoot. Marty was surprised that she likes Clint Eastwood, and the two began to bond, just as Needles entered. He saw Marty and Jennifer together, and teased Marty, telling him that it was a classy place to take a date, as they had a combo deal on hot dogs and nachos.
Marty told Needles that he was not on a date, and Needles told him that he knew it was not a date. He told him that he was going to drive his girlfriend somewhere, bragging that he had a car and then left. Angered by Needles, Marty told Jennifer that he needed to go. Marty headed to Doc's garage, intending to steal the DeLorean to try to impress Jennifer. When he arrived there, however, he had a change of heart, realizing that what he was about to do was wrong and started to head back.
However, Needles was there with his girlfriend and a member of his gang. He thanked Marty for unlocking Doc's lab, and let him know that it was his intention to do so all along. Marty tried to stop Needles, only to be punched in the eye. Fortunately, Doc arrived. He tipped a domino, setting off the elaborate security system, which dropped a bucket of paint on top of Needles. Marty apologized to Doc for intending to take the DeLorean. Doc told him that he knew all about the troubles faced by the young, and told him that he knew that people needed to keep secrets.
Marty asked Doc if his secret was a flying car , and Doc responded that it was not a bad idea, but it wasn't important, as what was important now was for Marty to not hide his feelings about Jennifer. Marty was afraid of rejection, but decided to follow Doc's advice. Marty asked Jennifer out, and she said yes. They went to see a Clint Eastwood movie at the theater.
On October 25 , , Marty visited Doc's garage, only to discover that neither Doc nor Einstein were there. Marty then proceeded to hook up his guitar to the giant amplifier that Doc had constructed. Marty then turned up the volume and overdrive knobs all the way and played a single "power chord", which resulted in him being suddenly thrown backwards into a bookcase and the speaker being blown out. Immediately afterwards, Marty received a call, which turned out to be from Doc.
He also warned Marty not to hook up into the amplifier due to a "slight possibility of overload", unaware that Marty had already done so. As Marty agreed to meet with Doc, all of the clocks in the garage started chiming 8 AM. Doc then revealed that this was part of an experiment and that the clocks were all exactly 25 minutes slow.
Upon realizing that the time was actually AM, Marty responded to Doc that he was late for school and headed out the door. Shortly after arriving at school, Marty met up with Jennifer, who told him not to go through the main entrance as principal Strickland was looking for him and, if he got caught, it would be his fourth tardy slip in a row. However, as they were trying to sneak their way to class, they got caught by Strickland, who presented them both with tardy slips.
After finding out this was because Marty was at Doc's garage, he warned Marty not to hang around with Doc because he believed that Doctor Brown was a "nutcase. Strickland informed Marty not to waste his time, calling him a slacker and telling him that "no McFly has ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley.
After school was over, Marty and his band auditioned for the Battle of the Bands front of three adults and one student in the Hill Valley High School gymnasium. Their audition song was a hard rock version of The Power of Love , but the head judge told them to stop after playing just a short time, saying they were "too darn loud.
But Marty doubted that he could take another rejection, lamenting that he was starting to sound like his father, George. Jennifer, however, insisted that his father wasn't that bad, pointing out that he was letting Marty borrow his car tomorrow night in order to allow them to go camping by the lake that weekend. At that moment, Marty saw a Toyota 4X4 being delivered to Statler Toyota and vowed that someday, he would purchase that car. They briefly discussed how romantic it would be to ride in that car up to the lake.
Jennifer then asked Marty about whether he had told his mother about their plans, to which Marty replied that he did not. Instead, he told her that he was going camping with friends, in order to avoid another lecture about how she didn't do such things in her youth, jokingly remarking that his mother was born a nun. Jennifer stated that his mother was just trying to keep him respectable, to which he responded by saying that she wasn't doing a good job and closing in for a kiss.
However, before they could kiss, they were interrupted by a lady who represented the Hill Valley Preservation Society , who asked them for a contribution to keep the broken clock tower as is and impede Mayor Wilson in his plans to replace the clock.
An irritated Marty donated a quarter to appease her and was, in turn, handed a flyer. After the woman left, Marty and Jennifer tried to kiss again, only to be interrupted once more.
This time by Jennifer's father, who had come to pick her up. As Jennifer prepared to leave, Marty promised to call her.
Jennifer was going to be at her grandmother's house that evening, so she wrote down her grandmother's telephone number , along with "I love you! Upon arriving back home, Marty discovered that his father's car had been totaled by George's supervisor, Biff Tannen , who had wrecked the car while drinking and driving at the same time!
Biff, however, blamed George by claiming the car had a blind spot, and forced him to pay up to have his suit dry-cleaned as he had spilt beer over himself in the crash. After telling George to finish up his reports and hand them over to him the following day, Biff left.
Marty confronted his father about the fact that his plans for tomorrow night had been ruined and that Biff was to blame. George conceded that Marty was right, but stated that Biff was his supervisor and that he wasn't very good at confrontations. All he could say was that he was sorry. Later, at dinner, Marty was told by George that he was better off without having to worry about all the aggravation and headaches of playing at the dance, to which his brother Dave agreed.
Marty and his siblings were then informed by their mother that their uncle, "Jailbird" Joey , didn't make parole again and she said it would be nice if they all dropped him a line.
After Dave left for work, Marty was told by his sister Linda that, while he was outside pouting over the car, Jennifer had called him twice. This prompted their mother Lorraine to remark that she didn't like Jennifer, stating that any girl who called a boy was just asking for trouble.
After Linda asked how she was supposed to meet someone, Lorraine replied that it would simply just happen, retelling the story of she fell in love with their father after he was hit by her father's car after falling out of a tree while " birdwatching " and how they had their first kiss at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance the following week. Shortly after midnight , a sleeping Marty was awoken at AM by a phone call from Doc, who asked whether Marty had fallen asleep, which Marty denied.
Doc then told Marty that he had forgotten to bring his video camera and asked Marty to pick it up on his way to the mall, which he agreed to do. Upon arriving at the mall at AM, technically one minute late, Marty saw Doc's van at the parking lot and made his way towards it. Doc, after exiting the DeLorean, was happy to see that Marty had made it to the mall.
Doc explained that his latest experiment was "the big one", the one which he had been waiting for all his life. Although Marty had several questions, Doc promised to answer them all later and told him to start filming the demonstration. Marty and Doc stand in the fire trails left behind by the DeLorean on the first test.
After introducing himself, the location and the exact date and time, Doc placed Einstein into the car and showed Marty that his and Einstein's clocks were the same time at that moment AM. With a remote control device, Doc operated the car from a distance and sent it to the far end of the parking lot.
Marty and Doc then ran to a spot where the car would intersect them. He then revved it up to 62 mph with the brakes on and released the brakes. As the car accelerated towards them, Marty began to step out of the way, but was then pulled back by Doc, who told him to "watch this.
Doc explained to him that Einstein was fine and had just become the world's first time traveler, having been sent exactly one minute into the future. Marty then questioned the idea of building a time machine out of a DeLorean, to which Doc replied that if one was going to build a time machine into a car, then why not do it with some style.
Doc also mentioned that the stainless steel construction of the vehicle was beneficial in some way to the flux dispersal, but didn't get to fully explain as his watch beeped, signaling that the DeLorean was going to return in a few seconds.
The car suddenly appeared where Marty and Doc had been 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. The two clocks were exactly one minute in difference as well and AM and Einstein's was still ticking.
Doc then showed Marty the interior and its controls. While inputting dates on the keypad, Doc used July 4 , the date the American Declaration of Independence was signed and December 25 , the date of the birth of Christ as examples, before inputting "a red-letter date in the history of science", November 5 , Doc then explained that, on that day, he was hanging up a clock while standing on the edge of his toilet, slipped on the wet porcelain, hit his head on the sink and, when he came to, had a revelation, a picture in his head of the Flux Capacitor , which is what made time travel possible.
From there, he left the cockpit of the DeLorean and reminisced about the past, particularly about Old Man Peabody owning the land that was now Twin Pines Mall and his pine tree farm. Marty then asked Doc whether the car ran on regular unleaded gasoline, to which Doc replied that the car required something more powerful, namely plutonium. Marty, slightly panicked, then asked Doc if the car was nuclear, which Doc denied, saying that the car was electrical, but that a nuclear reaction was required in order to generate the 1.
Marty then pointed out that one couldn't just walk into a store and buy plutonium and asked Doc whether he had ripped it off. Doc revealed that he had, from a group of Libyan Nationalists. He explained that they wanted him to build them a bomb, but instead he gave them a shiny bomb case filled with used pinball machine parts. Afterwards, Marty and Doc donned radiation suits and inserted another vial of plutonium into the plutonium chamber in preparation for Doc's own jump into the future.
Upon learning that Doc intended to travel 25 years into the future, Marty asked him to come look him up when he got there, which Doc promised he would. However, before Doc got the chance to depart, Einstein's barking alerted him and Marty to an approaching van in the distance, revealing that the Libyans had found him.
As the Libyans opened fire on them, Marty was told to run for it while Doc would draw their fire. Unfortunately, Doc's pistol jammed and he was subsequently shot with an assault rifle by the terrorists.
Horrified by Doc's death, Marty inadvertently drew the terrorists' attention towards himself by yelling at them and was nearly gunned down.
Fortunately, the terrorists' gun jammed, giving Marty enough time to run into the DeLorean and try to escape. He took off immediately with the Libyans right behind him. During the chase, Marty accidentally turned on the time circuits still set to November 5, while shifting, and, as he avoided being destroyed by a rocket-propelled grenade , he sped up to 88 and entered temporal displacement. Suddenly, Marty accidentally went from a mall parking lot in to a field in , and the DeLorean crashed into a scarecrow and then the Peabodys' barn.
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 Peabody's shotgun , 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. 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. Upon arriving into town, where he discovered the date on a newspaper , Marty went inside Lou's Cafe. After a brief exchange in which Lou mistook Marty's down vest for a life preserver , Marty said he wanted to use the phone, and Lou pointed him towards the back.
After finding Doc's name and address in the phone book, Marty ripped out the page. However, when he tried to ask Lou for directions to the address, an annoyed Lou asked him whether he was going to order something.
Taking a seat, Marty first tried to order a Tab , but Lou mistakenly thought he wanted a restaurant bill. Marty then tried to order a Pepsi Free , and Lou misinterpreted it as him asking for a free Pepsi.
Frustrated, Marty simply asked for something without any sugar in it. At that moment, Biff Tannen and his gang entered the cafe and started bullying George, who had been sitting next to Marty.
Marty witnessed a very familiar conversation in which Biff made George promise to finish Biff's homework and hand it over to him the following morning. During this exchange, one of the members of Biff's gang, Skinhead , noticed Marty's vest and, thinking it was a life preserver, mockingly suggested that Marty thought he was going to drown.
After Biff left, Marty stared at George, prompting George to ask him who he was. However, their conversation was interrupted by Goldie Wilson , one of Lou's employers, who told George to stand up for himself.
Goldie used himself as an example, stating that he was going to night school and, one day, be somebody. This prompted Marty to accidentally say that Goldie was going to be mayor, which seemed to inspire Goldie. Marty then noticed that George had left the cafe and was riding away on his bike, and chased after him.
Marty eventually managed to track George down and found him up a tree, watching Lorraine Baines undress through his binoculars. Marty remarked disapprovingly that George was a "peeping tom" and watched as George lost his grip and nearly fell. George then dropped to the street in the path of an oncoming car and Marty, unfortunately and stupidly for himself, ran towards him and pushed him out of the way, getting hit by the car instead and falling unconscious. Marty woke up almost 9 hours later, initially assuming that he was back at home and that his recent time traveling had been a dream.
However, he quickly discovered that he really was in when a young Lorraine turned on the lights and referred to him as "Calvin. She stated that she saw the name " Calvin Klein " printed all over his underwear and assumed it was his name. He stated that people called him Marty, which made Lorraine assume that "Calvin Marty Klein" was his full name. Over the course of their conversation, Lorraine had been repeatedly flirting with Marty, much to his alarm.
Fortunately, Lorraine's mother, Stella , called out to her, prompting Lorraine to toss Marty his pants and run out of the room, allowing him to put them back on. As Marty came downstairs from Lorraine's bedroom, her mother asked how long he would be in port, and that she guessed he was a sailor because he wore a life preserver.
Since she was the third person that day who had mistaken his red down vest for a life preserver, Marty mentioned the Coast Guard as an alibi. During dinner with Lorraine's family, Marty confused them by first by saying that his family owned two television sets, which was unusual in , and then by claiming to have already seen the episode of The Honeymooners " The Man from Space " on TV even though it was brand new. When Lorraine's mother remarked that he looked very familiar, she asked him whether she knew his mother.
Marty claimed that she did indeed know his mother, but when she suggested calling, he said that nobody was home. Marty then asked for directions to Riverside Drive. Upon being told the directions, Marty remarked that the street's name was " John F. Kennedy Drive ", which confused Lorraine's father. Lorraine then suggested that, since Marty's parents were out of town, he should spend the night at their house.
However, when she suggested that he could sleep in her room and started stroking his leg, Marty quickly got up, told them he had to go, thanked them for their hospitality and then left. Upon arriving at Doc's mansion and knocking on the door, Marty was dragged inside the house by a young Doc, who wished to test his latest invention on him. Although Marty tried to explain who he was, Doc insisted that he not tell him anything about himself in order to test the effectiveness of the device. After Doc had made several guesses regarding where Marty came from and why he was here, Marty finally explained who he really was and that he needed Doc's help to return to However, Doc, after expressing frustration at his invention seemingly not working, did not believe Marty's claims of being a time traveler.
Marty tried to convince him by showing that the expiry date of his driver's license was and that, according to his birthday, he hadn't even been born yet. Marty then showed him a photograph of him and his siblings , pointing out that his sister's sweatshirt read "class of ' Marty answered that it was going to be Ronald Reagan , but Doc scoffed at the idea that an actor was going to be President.
Marty then pursued Doc as the latter ran towards his garage, mockingly suggesting that various celebrities would similarly be in government positions by Fortunately, Marty finally managed to convince Doc by telling him the story of how he got the bruise on his head earlier that day and had a vision of the Flux Capacitor. The two then went out to recover the DeLorean. After Doc showed Marty the picture he drew of the flux capacitor after he hit his head, Marty opened the car door and turned on the flux capacitor, which resulted in Doc being overjoyed at the knowledge that he had finally invented something that worked.
The two then snuck the car back into Doc's laboratory and started formulating a plan to get Marty back home. Marty hooks the JVC camcorder to Doc's second television set in the garage, enabling them to watch the tape of the events at Twin Pines Mall. Upon returning to Doc's lab, Marty hooked up his camcorder to Doc's television and they watched the tape of the events at Twin Pines Mall.
Shortly after, Doc was horrified when the recording of his future self explained that the flux capacitor required 1. Marty followed Doc, who was sitting in his chair and lamenting his carelessness in making the flux capacitor require so much electricity.
Marty remarked that all they needed was a little plutonium, but Doc stated that plutonium was hard to come by in and regretfully told Marty that he was stuck in this time period. Marty, however, refused to accept that, informing Doc about his girlfriend Jennifer and showing him the back of his flyer on which she had written her message and her grandmother's phone number. Doc replied that the only source of electricity capable of generating that much power would be a bolt of lightning , but lamented that nobody ever knew when or where lightning would strike.
Marty then remembered that the flyer also featured the news story about a bolt of lightning that would strike the clock tower on Saturday night, November 12, , at PM. Doc proclaiming that their plan would successfully send Marty back to the future. Doc believed that he could find a way to harness the bolt's power, channel it into the flux capacitor and ultimately send Marty back to An excited Marty then suggested that Doc could perhaps show him around town while he waited.
However, Doc stopped him mid-sentence and insisted he stay inside his house during the week ahead. He explained that Marty had to avoid contact with anyone else, as everything he did could have serious repercussions on future events.
After Doc asked Marty if he had interacted with anyone else that day besides him, Marty admitted that he had run into his parents. Doc then rechecked the photograph of Marty and his siblings, and realized that the head of the firstborn son Dave was missing, having been erased from existence.
After Marty remarked that the school was cleaner and looked brand new compared to his time, Doc explained his theory that Marty's interference in his parents' first meeting had resulted in his existence being jeopardized, with Dave disappearing first, then Linda and finally Marty himself if they didn't think of a plan. Marty remarked that the situation was " Heavy ", confusing Doc, who remarked that weight had nothing to do with it.
They later saw George in the hallway, being bullied by his classmates and subsequently berated and called a slacker by Principal Strickland, who, Marty remarked, didn't seem to have ever had hair, aside from a small fringe which he no longer had by After being asked by Doc what Lorraine ever saw in George, Marty guessed that she felt sorry for him after her father hit George with his car.
Doc identified it as the Florence Nightingale effect , which happened in hospitals when nurses fell in love with their patients. After receiving brief encouragement from Doc, Marty went up to George and formally introduced himself. Marty then tried to introduce George to Lorraine, but unfortunately Lorraine didn't pay any attention to George, instead showing interest in Marty and asking him whether his head still hurt.
Marty said that it didn't and Lorraine told him she had been worried ever since he ran off the other night. Lorraine then asked him if he was okay, but before Marty could answer, the school bell rang and Lorraine had to leave. Marty and Doc standing in front of a poster for the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Marty was then informed by Doc, who had been observing their conversation from a distance, that the situation was more serious than they previously thought.
Doc explained that Lorraine was now infatuated with Marty instead of his father, much to Marty's discomfort. Doc stated that the only way for George and Lorraine to get together was if they were alone together and suggested that Marty had to get them to interact at some sort of social event, like a date. Unfortunately, Marty had no idea how to arrange a date for them, as he didn't know what people in the '50s did. Doc remarked that Marty, being their son, had to know his parents on at least some level.
After being asked by Doc what his parents' common interests were and what they liked to do together, Marty answered that, as far as he knew, they had nothing in common. Fortunately, Doc then saw a poster of the upcoming Enchantment Under the Sea dance, which Marty recalled was where George and Lorraine had their first kiss. Marty was then instructed by Doc to stick to his father like glue and make sure he took Lorraine to the dance.
Marty sat with George in the cafeteria and tried to talk with him about Lorraine, but then noticed that George was writing something and asked him what it was. George revealed that he was writing science fiction stories about visitors coming down to Earth from other planets, which surprised Marty, as he had no idea his father ever did anything creative.
Marty asked if he could read some of them, but George refused and said that he never let anybody read his stories. Curious, Marty asked him why not, and George revealed that he feared that his stories wouldn't be liked and being told that he wasn't any good at writing. After George stated that such a thing would be pretty hard for somebody to understand, Marty, understanding how George felt, stated that it was not hard at all.
Marty then switched the topic back to Lorraine, telling George that she really liked him and had told Marty to tell George that she wanted him to ask her to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, much to George's surprise. Marty told George that all he had to do was go up to her and ask her. But George was hesitant, worried that she might say no and unsure if he could take that kind of rejection. George then noted that he thought Lorraine would rather go with somebody else, pointing towards Biff, who was harassing her.
Angered, Marty walked up to Biff and forcibly separated him from Lorraine, telling him to get his hands off of her. Although slightly intimidated by Biff's height, Marty was still willing to fight against him.
Fortunately, Strickland's presence prevented a fight from breaking out, with Biff saying that he was cutting Marty a break since he was new and telling him to get out of there.
Marty then realized that George had left during the commotion. George telling Marty that neither he, nor anyone else on the planet, could change his mind about not going to the dance. Marty pursued George as he was on his way home, which prompted an annoyed George to ask him why he was following him around.
Marty snuck into Doc's lab, and was fascinated by all the cool stuff that was there. When Doc found him there, he was delighted to find that Marty thought he was cool and accepted him for what he was.
Both of them were the black sheep in their respective environments. Doc gave Marty a part-time job to help with experiments, tend to the lab, tend to the dog, etc. And that's the origin of their relationship. The plot line of the first Back to the Future movie revolves around Marty's jump back to the year After Doc introduces Marty to the time machine, he explains that it's powered by plutonium When the terrorists come to collect in a blaze of gunfire, Marty accidentally travels back in time in his attempt to escape the assault.
Deposited in , Marty finds that year's version of Doc, whom we'll call Young Doc. The two hatch a plan to get Marty back to the future using the time machine and a bolt of lightning set to hit the famed Hill Valley clock tower later that week. Young Doc insists that Marty stay out of sight lest he alter any future events, but it's already too late — Marty managed to alter his own future in a major way by interacting with his teenage father and Biff before encountering Young Doc.
First, he got in a fight with the young version of Biff. Then, he inadvertently sabotaged his parents' own marriage when he followed George.
How Lorraine and George fell in love is a bit of a weird story. See, George spends his free time up in a tree, peeping in girls' windows — an icky detail mercifully abandoned after his introduction.
As Marty's parents tell it, George fell from said tree and got hit by a car driven by Lorraine's dad. Baines brought the kid inside to recover and Lorraine fell head over heels in love.
At least, that's how the story went without Marty's intervention. In this timeline, Marty pushes George out of the way of the car, getting hit by it himself. Baines brings Marty inside, and, long story short, Marty's own teenage mother develops the hots for him. So not only do Marty and Doc have to get Marty back to the future, they also have to find a way to get George and Lorraine back together, or else Marty will disappear from existence.
They encounter multiple hurdles along the way, including resistance from Lorraine, reluctance from George, and interference from Biff. Thankfully, Marty and Doc succeed, and Marty heads back to the future. Not only is his family intact, Marty's involvement has made George much more confident, Lorraine healthier, and his siblings more successful. Marty's life looks pretty good, thanks to his trip back to But the first film ends with Doc appearing out of nowhere from the future. He says he's been to , and while Marty and Jennifer are fine, their future children are not.
The Hill Valley of looks much like the Hill Valley of Marty runs into his own son, Marty Jr. Griff is just as abusive as his grandfather and tortures Marty Jr. A few days later, Zemeckis broke the news to a heartbroken Stoltz while Fox took over. Even though Family Ties was still the priority, Fox got the movie back on track after falling a month behind schedule.
Not only did Fox nail the role of Marty, but he also brought a breath of fresh air to the set. While some fans still have an interest in seeing Stoltz's work as Marty, Zemeckis and Universal clearly made the right choice when it came to Back to the Future 's change of direction. Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant.
From time to time, she dives into the world's most popular franchises but Kara primarily focuses on evergreen topics. The fact that she gets to write about The Office regularly is like a dream come true.
After graduating college, writing began as a part-time hobby for Kara but it quickly turned into a career. She loves binging a new series and watching movies ranging from Hollywood blockbusters to hidden indie gems. She also has a soft spot for horror ever since she started watching it at too young of an age.
He is swiftly embarrassed when he's caught singing along, but is saved when he's summoned to the office for what's purportedly an emergency phone call, but is actually Doc Brown asking him to come to a time machine test at Hill Valley Mall. When Principal Strickland confronts him about the forbidden call, Marty drops his forbidden "Walkman stereo," earning him detention. That's where the administrator makes an example of Marty by destroying the cassette player in a woodworking vice.
Marty ultimately gets the upper hand by setting off a fire alarm so he can sneak off to his band's audition for a YMCA dance across town not, as depicted in the movie, a tryout in the gym for a school dance. Marty's prank was filmed for Back to the Future but unused, in part because it was one of the few scenes captured with fired original star Eric Stoltz. Marty McFly seems to have what it takes to make it as a rock star. He demonstrates his electric guitar chops during an otherwise unsuccessful audition with his band, the Pinheads, early in Back to the Future.
Then, near the end of the film, he uses his musical ability to accidentally invent rock and roll, and pass on its major tropes to Chuck Berry , via a phone call from the rock pioneer's cousin, Marvin.
And yet, when rolls around at the start of Back to the Future Part II, Marty is not the world famous rock star he seemed fated to become — he's a broken, overworked office drone pushed around by his boss and hampered by a chronic injury suffered in a long-ago car accident.
That setback is undone — and Marty's future presumably rewritten for the better — by the end of Back to the Future Part II, but it's an episode of the forgettable and semi-obscure Back to the Future animated series that shows that Marty's musical dreams came true. The installment "Solar Sailors" takes place in the year , where Doc encounters a guy who professionally and musically impersonates one of the biggest rock stars of all time: Marty McFly.
Fans of Back to the Future have posited a rather big, unexplained question — or perhaps it's just a massive overlooked plot hole.
Why do George and Lorraine McFly fail to recognize the fact that their son, Marty, looks exactly like Calvin Klein, the guy who romantically connected them, blew the roof off their school dance, then disappeared without a trace?
Moreover, how do they fail to connect him to the actual Calvin Klein, once that name became world-renowned? They cut the bit, choosing instead to make Biff the one who realizes Marty can travel through time.
Doc Brown's DeLorean is already a pretty cool car, what with its gull-wing doors and ability to travel through time. But the sequel-teasing final moments of the first Back to the Future show that Doc has made some improvements to the vehicle, necessary for a trip to In the comic book Back to the Future 4 , it's made clear that Doc Brown turned his car into a marvelous flying machine upon the suggestion of Marty McFly.
Set in a period before the events of the first film, Marty disturbs Doc in his garage, who covers up his not-quite-ready-for-showtime DeLorean. Marty, without a car and desperately in want of one, recognizes the shape, and presumes that Doc's top secret project is a flying car. It's not, but Doc Brown thinks that such a project is a pretty good idea. In other words, they are clear parodies of Doc Brown and Marty McFly, with little more than a misspelled name keeping them from incurring the wrath of the copyright holders.
