MJ Fox was supposedly insistent on learning the correct fingering for his guitar solo in the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance, although we do not actually hear him playing it.

The 'Back to the Future' series ranked at ONLY #9 on IGN's Top 25 Movie Franchises of All Time (2006).

MJ Fox is only ten days younger than Lea Thompson (Lorainne Baines McFly), and is almost three years older than his on-screen dad, Crispin Glover (George McFly).

The orginal time travel machine was a refrigerator, but this was scrapped because Spielberg did not want children to start climbing into refrigerators and getting trapped inside!

The school that served as Hill Valley High was Whittier High School in Whittier (California).

The Twin Pines Mall is in the Puente Hills Mall in the City of Industry (California).

The clock tower operated for exactly 70 years, 2 months, 7 days, 2 hours, and 4 minutes.

Doc Brown's dog Einstein arrives from the world's first time-travel excursion at 1:21am, which is exactly the number of gigawatt's of electricity which the DeLorean requires to travel through time.

 

Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist) appears in Back to the Future Part 2 as Needles, whom gets middle aged Marty sacked and who races young Marty in a drag race at the end of the film.

Character name of Emmett comes from the word 'time' spelled backwards

Doc Brown's middle initial is 'L' but no name was ever actually given in the films. Bob Gale (the film's writer) was asked about this and gave him the name 'Lathrop'

Marty's Guitars used throughout the movie: Erlewine Chiquita (huge amp at the beginning), Ibanez black Strat copy (scenes of Marty's band performing in the 80s), Gibson ES-345TD (Marty performing at the dance).

According to the 'Making of....', in the original script , Marty was sent back to the year 1985, with the radiation of a nuclear bomb. But the directors thought that it wasn't as exciting as a bolt of lightning so the idea was scrapped.
