Trivia:
- Eric Stoltz originally cast as Marty McFly, but changed becuase he didn't act
enough like a teenager.
- The device in Doc Brown's lab that Marty plugs his guitar into is labeled
"CRM-114", which was the name of the message decoder on the B-52 in _Dr
Strangelove_.
- Doc Brown's dog is named Einstein. This may be a vague reference to _Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang_, where the inventor of a miracle car owned a dog named
Edison.
- The mall where Marty McFly meets Dr. Brown for their time travel experiment
is called "Twin Pines Mall". Dr. Brown comments that ol' farmer Peabody
used to own all of the land, and he grew pines there. When Marty goes back
in time, he runs over and knocks down a pine tree on the Peabody's property.
When he comes back to the mall at the end of the film, the sign at the mall
identifies the mall as "Lone Pine Mall".
- There is a rumour that when Marty is running from the terrorists, you can
see another Marty running to witness the shooting of Doc Brown.
- Farmer Peabody's son is named Sherman. Sherman was the name of the little boy
time traveler in one segment of Jay Ward's cartoon show, "The Rocky &
Bullwinkle Show." The dog who owned his time machine was named Mr. Peabody.
- The radio in Marty's room plays "Back in Time", by Huey Lewis and the News,
who wrote and performed some songs for the film.
- The "Mr Fusion Home Energy Converter", which is sitting on the DeLorean when
Doc returns from the future, is made from (among other things) a Krups coffee
grinder.
- CAMEO(Huey Lewis): the high-school band judge.
- CAMEO(Stephen Spielberg): [rumor] The driver of the pickup truck that gives
Marty a lift to school.
