three years pass...

so i watched the first one yet again yesterday and noticed this cool time travelling little detail

The mall at the beginning of the movie in 1984 is called 'Twin Pines'. The doc tells Marty about an old man Peabody who used to own this land and had a 'crazy idea of breeding pine trees'.
When Marty goes back to 1955 he runs over and kills one of Peabody's pine trees.
Marty then returns at the end of the film to 1984, but now the mall is called 'Lone Pine'.

Ha, i thought that was brilliant. and couldn't believe I'd never noticed it before.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 19 June 2006 08:52 (seventeen years ago) link

i watched it like 20 times WHEN I WAS A KID. but that is a good detail i never picked up, and it's a great film.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 19 June 2006 08:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i love this movie, probably because i grew up with it more than anything else. it always konda disturbed me though that at the end of the trilogy marty basically returns to a 1985 that is still rather different than the one he left.

I've always wanted to do the blow-myself-away-with-loudness-of-guitar thing that Marty does at the beginning of the first one.

Does anybody remember, when BTTF2 came out, Pizza Hut had a line of "futuristic" sunglasses or something you could get with your pizza that were, like, in the movie or something. Also, you couldn't see out of them for shit.

I've often kinda wondered what happened to the other Marty seen at the end of the first movie, who seemingly is sent back to the 1955 of his timeline, which is the 1955 where the protagonist Marty changed the past. So I came up with silly fan theory...

This has bugged me for a long time, but my "fan theory" is that Doc Brown knew he couldn't send that Marty back to 1955 ('cuz he'd crash right into Marty-Prime arriving at that same spot); so instead he set the dial for 1055 or something. Sent that fool back to the Dark Ages, where he figured he couldn't cause any trouble and would die quickly. BUT! -- somehow Nu-Marty survives, claws his way back to the present (or, let's say, 2025 – for purposes of developing this into a new movie), and he's hella pissed... now he's a bad guy, coming for revenge! Watch Peacock for BTTF 4, coming in two years...

So he's basically Khan? Sounds great/terrible.
