Trivia: Despite what the ending shows, the movie's producers originally had no intention of creating a sequel. As director Robert Zemeckis reveals in an interview on the DVD releases, the whole finale was intended as a joke. After the immense popularity of the movie, however, Zemeckis and producer Bob Gale realised that they had to create a sequel and connect it to the "joke" ending of the first one. Once a sequel was in the works, "To Be Continued" was then added to the home video release of the first film.
Trivia: Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) and Lea Thompson (Lorraine McFly) have appeared in five movies together. This is the only film however in which they share on screen dialog.
Trivia: The town hall building is also seen in the Voyagers TV show.
Suggested correction: The Town Hall building is in over 100 movies and TV shows since it is a building in Courthouse Square at Universal Studios. It has also appeared in Gremlins, The Twilight Zone, To Kill a Mockingbird, Knight Rider, Leave It To Beaver, Parenthood, Saving Mr. Banks, and Psycho II, to name some of a few of the more commonly known. I don't think its common appearance makes this trivia relevant.
I'd say it makes it more relevant. Just add the multiple appearances of the building.
Trivia: Even though Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover play Michael J. Fox's parents in the movie, Thompson was the same age as Fox, whereas Glover was three years his junior.
Trivia: When Marty punches Biff in the diner, if you pause/use slow-mo you can tell it's not Michael J Fox that hits him, but it is actually Eric Stoltz, the original Marty, because he's taller and has more hair than Michael J Fox.
Trivia: 'Emmett' Brown's name is 'time' spelled backwards and pronounced as two syllables, 'em-it'.
Trivia: The diner, AKA Lou's Cafe, is the same interior set used for "The Sting," when Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) meets Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). It is located at the Universal Studios backlot in California.
Trivia: While Marty is holding the jeep and being pulled on his skateboard, there is sign for used cars, that's a reference to another Robert Zemeckis / Bob Gale film called "Used Cars" - Deborah Harmon had a part in that film and plays the newsreader in this one.
