Back to the Future

Trivia: Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) and Lea Thompson (Lorraine McFly) have appeared in five movies together. This is the only film however in which they share on screen dialog.

Trivia: Even though Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover play Michael J. Fox's parents in the movie, Thompson was the same age as Fox, whereas Glover was three years his junior.

Trivia: When Marty punches Biff in the diner, if you pause/use slow-mo you can tell it's not Michael J Fox that hits him, but it is actually Eric Stoltz, the original Marty, because he's taller and has more hair than Michael J Fox.

Trivia: 'Emmett' Brown's name is 'time' spelled backwards and pronounced as two syllables, 'em-it'.

Trivia: While the young Doc and Marty get to the school there is a sign on the wall with "Ron Woodward" on it, that's a reference to Ronald Woodward, the key grip of the film.
