BACK TO THE FUTURE TRIVIA II

11) How does Marty accidentally alter the future?


Marty's parents are supposed to meet when his father is struck by a car. By preventing the accident, Marty inadvertently stops his parents from meeting and falling in love.

12) What does Lorraine think Marty's name is when they first meet?


After her father hits Marty with the family car, she sees "Calvin Klein" on his purple underwear and assumes it's his name.

13) Which of Marty's uncles ends up in jail?


When he meets 11-month-old Joey in 1955, staring through the bars of his playpen, Marty says, "So, you're my Uncle Joey. Better get used to these bars, kid."

14) When Marty impersonates a man from outer space in order to convince George to ask Lorraine on a date, what does he say his name is?


Marty identifies himself as an extra-terrestrial named Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan.

15) What song does Marty perform at his parents' school dance?


Marty's iconic performance of "Johnny B. Goode" calls on some classic moves from rock & roll history. In a few short seconds, he hits all the legends: Chuck Berry's one-legged hop, the windmill made famous by The Who's Pete Townshend, playing behind his head like Stevie Ray Vaughan and bringing the show to a literal standstill with a Jimi Hendrix/Van Halen-inspired solo. Go Johnny, go.

16) What time does lightning strike the clock tower?


The clock tower is struck by lightning during an electrical storm on November 12, 1955, which fuses the clock's internal mechanism and stops it permanently at 10:04 pm.

17) How does Doc survive the Libyans' attack?


When Marty returns to the future, he watches in horror as Doc gets mowed down again. But Doc is unharmed, having listened to Marty's warnings in the past and worn a bulletproof vest.

18) What is the license plate on Doc's DeLorean?


The vanity license plate used in the film reads "OUTATIME". When Doc returns from 2015, however, it has been replaced with a barcode license plate, implying that the DMV has updated its registration-tracking technology.

19) How many times was the Back to the Future script rejected?


The script was rejected over 40 times by every major studio and by some more than once. "We'd go back when they changed management," screenwriter Bob Gale would later reveal in an interview. "It was always one of two things. It was 'Well, this is time travel, and those movies don't make any money.' We got that a lot. We also got, 'There's a lot of sweetness to this. It's too nice. We want something raunchier like Porky's. Why don't you take it to Disney?'"

20) Who was originally cast as Marty McFly?


Principal photography began in November 1984, but a few weeks into filming, Zemeckis realized Stoltz had been miscast. Although he and producer Steven Spielberg realized that re-shooting the film would add $3 million to the $14 million budget, they decided to recast.
