Back to The Future/Fridge: Difference between revisions

* In the Telltale game, Marty makes a reference to the Mario brothers. This gets really interesting when you consider that Super Mario Bros., the game most people know Mario from, came out in North America in March of 1986 - about two months before the game starts. It's likely it was on Marty's mind because it had just come out and he was currently obsessed with it (much like how Wild Gunman would have come out less than two months before the time Marty came from in the movies).

** Alternately, Marty could've been referring to the [[Mario Bros (Video Game)|earlier Mario Bros. game]], which was released in North America in 1983.

* The end of Part II. Seems to be a bit of silly movie magic that the mailman arrives exactly on time, doesn't it? But this is a letter that they'd been holding for a century, a package that would have been increasingly the topic of conversation as the time drew nearer. They had a betting pool going as to whether or not this "Marty McFly" was even going to be there. They likely had some debate over who would actually deliver it. If you had the opportunity to confirm or debunk a one hundred year old urban legend (even if it's only an urban legend around the office), wouldn't you take an almost extreme amount of precautions to ensure that you got there when you were supposed to?

** But why is he ''alone?''

*** Fun Fact: The only reason this didn't even remotely happen in the film is that Disney was one of the film's main producers.

* O.K., here's a pretty good one I noticed after my 9000th viewing of ''[[Back to The Future]]''. You know how people ask if "You kiss your mother with that mouth?" when you swear? Well, early in the first movie when the Mcflys are eating dinner Marty's brother lets out a loud "Damn!" when he realized he was late for work. His mother then proceeded tell him not to swear and then asked him for a kiss on the cheek. --

** Or its pumping lithium, an anti-depressant, through the air-conditioning. Given how crappy Future!Marty and Jennifer's lives are (Jennifer herself is often "tranqued") you can see they'd need it.

* In ''[[Back to The Future]]'', when Marty returns to 1985 a lot of things are different than when he felt, including his girlfriend's appearance. The meta explanation for this is a simple case of [[The Other Darrin]]. However, it becomes horrifying when you consider a possible in-universe explanation. What if his own parents weren't the only teenage couple who's meeting Marty disrupted? Maybe, during the [[Crowning Moment of Funny|chase with Biff]] or the [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Johnny B. Goode recital]], Jennifer's parents were in the crowd and were too busy watching Marty to meet each other? Than, at a later time, one parent or the other got married ''to someone else'' and had a daughter named Jennifer ''with them''. So the reason Jennifer looks different when Marty gets back is that she has one different parent than before, and is essentially a [[Nightmare Fuel|completely different person]].
