“ Which classic movie inspired the clock-tower scene?

In the opening scene of the movie, as the camera pans across the clocks, a picture of a clock has a small figure of Harold Lloyd hanging from the minute hand (see Safety Last!) — a foreshadowing of the story's climax, where Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) clings to the face of the clock tower while trying to reconnect the cable. ”

“ The early ideas for the time machine were not as cool as the DeLorean.

The time machine was originally conceived as a laser device. At its pivotal point in the script, it was attached to a refrigerator, loaded on a truck, and driven to a nuclear test site with Marty inside the fridge. Fortunately, Zemeckis scrapped this idea because he did not want children to think it was wise to shut themselves inside appliances.

Also, the time machine's power source was changed from atomic energy to lightning soon after. ”

“ The DeLorean Origins

It's said the DeLorean appeared in the third draft of the screenplay. Throughout the trilogy, five DeLoreans were used, as well as a "process car" for interior shots.

Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis actually received a fan letter from John DeLorean after the film's release, thanking them for using his car in the movie.

According to Gale, people showed up at the Twin Pines Mall shooting location to see if Marty would arrive on October 26, 1985, in the DeLorean. ”

“ Want the scoop on Biff Tanen's origin story?

Biff Tannen was named after a Universal executive named Ned Tanen who wound up on the wrong side of Zemeckis and Gale. Their bad blood began during the development of the movie I Wanna Hold Your Hand. ”

“ The reason Doc Brown is so hunched over is ...

Due to the height difference between Christopher Lloyd (6'1" and Michael J Fox 5'4½"), Robert Zemeckis tried to have the actors stand far apart for their scenes together. It also was the reason for Doc's hunched posture. ”
