Deliberate mistake: The 45's advertised as new releases on the record store sign actually came out at different times throughout 1955. A true selection of new releases from early November 1955 would have most likely included minor hit singles that 80's moviegoers wouldn't have recognized. The songs listed were some of the biggest hits of that year and were obviously chosen for their ability to help set the musical tone of the time. (00:34:30)
Deliberate mistake: The sequence with the Libyans chasing Marty at the end of the film is much shorter than the original chase.
Suggested correction: It just seems this way. In the original chase, we switch back and forth between two different viewpoints, inside and outside the car. This falsely exaggerates the duration of the chase, as the two things are happening simultaneously rather than in sequence. The second time, the chase is only shown from the external perspective, giving a more realistic perspective.
