Back to the Future Part II

Trivia: When the 2015 Marty Jr. is walking across the street and a car stops, almost hitting him, he bangs both hands on the hood and yells, "Hey! I'm walkin' here!"I'm walkin' here!" This is an exact recreation of Dustin Hoffman's scene in 'Midnight Cowboy'.

Trivia: When Biff is arrested and holds the newspaper, one of the headlines reads "Queen Diana will visit Washington." Oops.

Trivia: The 2002 DVD release of both this film and of Part III is very misframed, with many elements cropped out of frame or not centered properly. The most obvious example is when Doc demonstrates the adjusting sleeves on Marty's 2015 jacket (the sleeves are cropped out of the frame so that you can't see the effect), but nearly the entire movie is misframed. The disks were later reissued with corrected framing, and all later DVD and Blu-ray editions have correct framing.

Back to the Future Part II mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Notice Marty's hair in the scene when he's playing "Johnny B. Goode." It's quite larger than when he says, some seconds later, "I guess that you're not ready for it yet." That's because when he says that, it's a recycled shot from the original BTTF, whereas most shots showing he's playing the guitar are newly made for BTTF2. However, Marty's hair is considerably longer in the new shots. (01:27:19)

Marty: You're not going to believe this. We have to go back to 1955.
Doc: I don't believe it!

Question: What song does Marty play on his guitar in 2015 after he gets fired?

Answer: He is attempting to play the song "The Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis and The News. He was first seen playing it very well in the first Back To The Future movie when he was trying out for the school dance. Jennifer recognizes the song and is shocked that Marty who was so good at guitar was suddenly able to hardly play it.
