Back to the Future (film)/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Elisabeth Shue replaced Claudia Wells as Jennifer Parker in the sequels. And Jeffrey Weissman takes the part of George McFly.

* [[The Red Stapler]]: The DeLorean. At the time the movie came out the Delorean Motor Company had been bankrupt for almost 3 years and DeLoreans were considered a failed car. Nowadays there's an active "time machine conversion" community, DeLorean dealers, and DeLorean conventions — all because of ''Back to the Future''. There's apparently even a company in Texas that bought the rights to the design and is making new DeLoreans.

* [[Scully Box]]: Because [[Christopher Lloyd]] is 6'1", much taller than the 5'4" [[Michael J. Fox]], camera tricks were used to avoid using one. For example, the two are rarely in the same shot together and, when they are, one is usually sitting down or much closer to the camera than the other. When Doc Brown is talking, he's often moving around so much that the viewer can't really tell how tall he is. Lloyd also improvised a hunch in his posture that helped give the character more of a Mad Scientist look.

== The First Movie ==

* [[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.
