Back to the Future in popular culture

The Back to the Future trilogy is a comedic science fiction film trilogy written by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, directed by Zemeckis, and distributed by Universal Pictures. The plot follows the adventures of high-school student Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and scientist Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) as they use a modified DeLorean automobile to time travel to different periods in the history of Hill Valley, California.

The first film was the highest grossing film of 1985 and became an international phenomenon, leading to two sequels which were filmed back-to-back and released in 1989 and 1990 respectively. The trilogy is widely noted for its irreverent comedy, eccentric characters and ability to incorporate complex theories of time-travel without confusing the audience. Though the two sequels did not perform quite as well at the box office as the first film, the trilogy remains immensely popular and has yielded such spin-offs as an animated television series and a motion-simulation ride at the Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando, Florida (ride now closed as of late March 2007); Universal City, California (ride closed on September 3, 2007), and Osaka, Japan.

Sir Loungelot says, Oh, thank you, thank you. Okay now. Your Majesty, we run some industrial strength electrical cable from the top of the Clock Tower down to spreading it over the street between these two lamp posts." King Allfire pointing at the model of Castle Threadbare. he says, "Meanwhile, we out-fitted the time vehicle with this big pole and hook which runs directly into the flux-capacitor."

Flame says, "the DeLorean time machine reappears and covered in ice, Doc Brown turn on the time circuit display and punching in the timelines on the red time zone." King Allfire says, "first the red time zone is July 4, 1776, and Dec 25, 0000, but Doc Brown says about the date in the history of science November 5, 1955 and put the plutonium in the back of the time machine." Flicker says, "When the Libyans arrived on a moving van, they shot Doc Brown, but Marty drives the DeLorean going up at 88mph, going back in time and landed from 1985 to 1955 in a cornfield and looking at the barn. but he ducks and scrambles back into the DeLorean time machine and it takes off, he knock over a pine on the way and parked here and spots a sign for the neighborhood that he lives in, It's Just about to built and meet his parents as teenagers." Flame says, "Flicker, this scene where Marty is Darth Vader and the skateboard chase scene when Marty riding the skateboard in 1955 from Biff Tannen and his gang, Marty hangs onto the front of Biff's convertible and lands on the skateboard, Biff Tannen and his cronies hit by a manure truck and getting covered in manure."

King Allfire says, "Blazing Dragons! Doc Brown connecting the electrical cables in the Clocktower they find that they are too short and must stretch them and suddenly, a lightning strike is needed on the top of the courthouse mall and sending that kid back to the future in the time-traveling DeLorean." Flicker says, "at the end of the classic movie has Doc Brown wearing futuristic clothing, putting all the trash in the Mr. Fusion Generator from the DeLorean Time Machine and tell Marty about the future kids in danger, as the time Machine going back up and Doc Brown has the "Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads." quote, as the time-traveling DeLorean can fly and the wheels fold into the hover-converted wheels as they flies away, swings back and going towards the camera."

King Allfire says, "Look puff, When Dr. Emmett Brown wearing futuristic clothing, putting all the trash in the Mr. Fusion Generator from the DeLorean Time Machine and tell Marty about the future kids in danger, as the time Machine going back up and Doc Brown has the "Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads." quote, as the time-traveling DeLorean can fly and the wheels fold into the hover-converted wheels as they flies away, swings back and going towards the camera it simply has the wheels fold into the hover-converted wheels as they flies away, swings back and going towards the camera leaving a trail of flames on the sky. they could traveling to the future, aka the 21st century." Flicker says, "Marty McFly put on his power-lace shoes, his audio-adjusted jacket and a rainbow cap, he has the spinning image of his future nephew." King Allfire says, "the Café 80's and hoverboard chase scene and Marty riding the Hoverboard against from Griff Tannen and his gang in the hoverboards, as they travel back in time to the Alternate 1985 aka, 1985A."

Flame says, "and has the Clocktower in the first movie is the events is referenced."
 * King Allfire says, "You see puff, the third Back to the Future film with Marty McFly in the Time Machine DeLorean going back in time to the Old West, aka 1885." Flame says, "Marty must be Clint Eastwood, with the runaway-train scene that Doc Brown says it's a science experiment! and Dr. Emmett Brown's Plan to heat up a train's boiler to gain the necessary speed. put all of the color logs in the boiler in the train, first the yellow one, with the green one and finally the red one." Flicker says, "Doc Brown saves Clara from the out-of-control train and they flying on a Hoverboard from the second movie." King Allfire says, "When Marty McFly going Back to 1985 in the DeLorean Time Machine leaves a trail of fire and the train exploded in a fashion that featured in the movie after plunging into the ravine." Flame says, "Then, Marty McFly jumped off and the train destroys the DeLorean Time Machine, with the time circuit boards flicker one last time before they go dead forever, but the flux-capacitor is safe and indestructible as the Time Train appears and meet the family." Flame says, "here's Doc Brown with his wife Clara Clayton and his boys Jules and Verne." Flicker says, "Doc Brown gives to Marty a gift photo of him and Doc at the clock tower in 1885." King Allfire says, "Jennifer Parker holding the FAX from the second movie disappears, and it's simply erased." Sir Burnevere says in the Royal Throne Room. "Doc Brown says It means that your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one. Both of you!"

 * In the episode "Land Before Timmy", Cosmo and Wanda's wands require 1.21 "Wishawatts" to operate, so they used lightning strike similar to Back to the Future.
 * At the end of the live-action telefilm adaptation A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!, as Timmy, Tootie, and the fairies drive off in their van, it takes off into the sky and flies at the camera the same way the DeLorean time machine flies away at the end of Back to the Future.

 * Issue #259 of the VG Cats webcomic sees Aeris, fed up with Leo's feeble attempts at humour (mostly from internet forums), use a BTTF-style DeLorean time machine (with a flux capacitor) to travel many years into the past and kill him in utero, effectively 'aborting Leo from time.' (Ironically, Leo reappears two strips later despite this, claiming he 'got better') The comic features not only the manure truck scene in the film, but Aeris wears Marty's signature bodywarmer jacket and sunglasses; these items, the time machine, along with the car's key, are initially held in an emergency-break-glass case with the label 'Break glass in case you need to make like a tree and get outta here,' a reference to the one-liner antagonist Biff regularly misuses.
 * An episode of Pokémon: The Abridged Series has satired Back to the Future, with a girl telling Ash to defeat his future self after he became obsessed with fighting Pokémon thirty years ago, simultaneously parodying the events of lightning striking the clock tower in Hill Valley and Biff Tannen rising to power in 1985A.

 * Stewie's newer model time machine's has the flux capacitor on here, his newer model's return pad runs on uranium in a cylinder similar to the plutonium from the first film in "Road to Germany". Also in the 2008 TV Movie "Road to Germany", while being chased by Nazis, Stewie breaks the vegetable's vendor cart to make a skateboard just as Marty McFly did in the first film. Parodying the almost identical scene in the first film, which uses the same music, when the Nazis' car catches up to Stewie's scooter, placing him in imminent jeopardy, Stewie lets the skateboard travel under the car while he runs over the top of the Nazis' heads to retrieve the skateboard at the back end, causing the Nazis to turn around to watch and then crash into the back of a truck filled with manure, which as a result of the impact dislodges and covers them.

 * On 6 July 2010 an internet phenomenon arose over the apparent arrival date of the DeLorean, a screen-cap of the time module showing a date of July 6 2010 was rapidly posted by users of Twitter and Facebook with the caption (or variations of) "Today is the day that Marty McFly arrived in the future after hitting 88mph in a pimped out DeLorean in 1985". This is not strictly accurate as Marty McFly went forward (in the film) to 29th October 2015. The screen cap is from the first movie. The first time shown (Jul 06 2010 01:21) is where Doc is planning on heading as he says he is heading to the future.
