Line 19:
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Kind of. Although Michael J. Fox is miming his performance of "Johnny B. Goode" he did actually learn to play the song (having played guitar in high school) so he could do so accurately.
* [[Non-Singing Voice]]: Michael J. Fox did not sing "Johnny B. Goode", although he did learn to play it so he could "mime" the guitar.
* [[The Other Marty]]: [[Trope Namers/Film|Trope Namer]]. Eric Stoltz was cast as Marty, and filmed some scenes, before being replaced by Michael J. Fox. You'll get to see [https://web.archive.org/web/20120114113750/http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/thr-eric-stoltz-as-the-original-marty-mcfly.html some Stoltz footage] in the Blu-Ray release of the ''Back to the Future'' trilogy.
== The Second Movie ==
* [[Defictionalization]]:
** Marty Jr's hat became an actual piece of merchandise. Sadly, there is no sign of hoverboards yet.
** Mattel [http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/14/back-to-the-future-mattel-hoverboard-replica/ released a hoverboard in late 2012]. Some buyers [http://gizmodo.com/5967983/the-back-to-the-future-hoverboard-is-2012s-worst-toy were not impressed.]
** In 2008, Nike released 1000 pairs of (rather pricey) "Air McFly/Nike Mag" sneakers. And in 2011, they released [https://web.archive.org/web/20140210130037/http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2011-09-09/nike-launches-back-to-the-future-trainers 1500 more.] The '11 versions light up. But, neither version self-laces, though.
* [[Fatal Method Acting]]: Averted. The end of the hoverboard chase, in which Griff's gang crashes through the Courthouse Mall, nearly ended in the death of the girl's stunt-double when she crashed into the hard stone instead of the stunt-glass. ''This was the take they used in the movie''.
* [[Life Imitates Art]]:
Line 35:
* [[The Red Stapler]]: We're still waiting for our hoverboards... ones that really work, that is (see Defictionalization, above).
** [http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-08/nike-patents-mcfly-self-lacing-shoes-future In 2010, Nike patented the self tightening shoes] Marty wears in 2015.
* [[Refitted for Sequel]]: It's widely known that the time machine was originally a chamber (specifically a refrigerator), and in order to travel through time, Doc and Marty would've sneaked into a nuclear test site in the desert to get the necessary 1.21 gigawatts. In this film, Doc sends Marty to 1885 at a drive-in theater in the desert. ▼
* [[Shrug of God]]: Bob Gale admitted in the DVD commentary that he has no idea what "lithium mode" is, and he doesn't know what illicit activities Future!Marty was getting into with the card scan.
== The Third Movie ==
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** Mary Steenburgen stars as a woman who falls in love with a time-traveler, just like in ''Time After Time''. It's also worth noting that her first role was in a Western, where her character was being romanced by a man played by -- Christopher Lloyd! He lost her to Jack Nicholson in that one, though.
*** Also worth noting is that the date traveled to in ''Time After Time'', November 5, is the same date Marty (accidentally) travels to in ''Part I''.
** The three old-timers at the saloon are all played by veterans of westerns: Dub Taylor, Harry Carey, Jr. and Pat Buttram.
** Doc's squeal of shock against the piano is the same as the death cry of his bad guy in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''.
* [[Fake Irish]]: Seamus and Maggie McFly.
* [[Fatal Method Acting]]: '''
▲* [[Refitted for Sequel]]: It's widely known that the time machine was originally a chamber (specifically a refrigerator), and in order to travel through time, Doc and Marty would've sneaked into a nuclear test site in the desert to get the necessary 1.21 gigawatts. In this film, Doc sends Marty to 1885 at a drive-in theater in the desert.
