Continuity mistake: When Marty, Jennifer, and Doc head to the 2015 Hill Valley, part of the text on the dashboard is faded, but when they travel back to 1985, the text is completely intact. Additionally, in the second shot, the 'Last Time Departed' is mentioned as Nov. 12, 1955, despite it being Oct. 26, 1985. (00:38:22)

Visible crew/equipment: When Marty realises that the almanac is not inside the dust jacket, a set light can be seen on the far right side of the screen. It can also be seen when he realises where Biff is. (01:21:08 - 01:21:45)

Continuity mistake: When the police car arrives in Hilldale, there are no door handles on the car, but in the next shot, some appear. (00:27:16)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Marty is driving the black Toyota pickup at the end of the movie, the truck's registration plate is missing - it can be seen when the truck is in the garage at the start of the film. Also the driver's door quarter light (vent window) is open. When we see the inside of the door it is closed. (01:41:45)

Bunglebus

Continuity mistake: When Marty is shot by Buford, he is thrown off his feet and lands on his back. As he does, his poncho flips up, showing his shirt all the up to the middle of his chest. The stove door he is supposedly using as a bulletproof chestplate is conspicuously missing. (01:27:20)

Continuity mistake: When Doc and Marty get on the train at the end, Marty has some trouble getting on, and note that his hat falls off in the sequence, but in the next shot when Doc and Marty fall the hat is back on. (01:31:15)

Brooks Jr.

Continuity mistake: When Doc and Marty first see each other in 1885, just before they hug, Doc puts his hand on Marty's shoulder, in the next shot it's on his arm. (00:35:15)

Continuity mistake: When Mad Dog is hanging Marty outside the new courthouse, Doc takes aim stood in bright sunlight (when the camera is behind him), but immediately after shooting him down we see Doc from the front, stood in a large shadow. (00:33:48)

Continuity mistake: When the Doc of 1955 is about to send Marty back to 1885, he turns the time circuits on. However, if you look at the time circuits after Marty has reversed, you can see that they are turned off. (00:17:15)

Continuity mistake: When Marty reads the paper with the news about his son's arrest, the way he holds the paper differs between shots. (00:09:44)

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Doc travels to 1885, Marty stands on the road holding a rope and says "He's gone." When the angle changes, the length of the rope sticking out is much shorter. (01:38:03)

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: As Doc drops Marty off behind Biff's car, the camera pans across the DeLorean, and we can see Christopher Lloyd has been replaced by a stunt driver. The stuntman can be seen trying to obscure his face. (01:30:26)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Marty is examining his truck in the garage, the left side of his shirt is tucked-in in the front, but in the first film, Marty's left shirt tail was hanging out. (00:00:36)

Continuity mistake: Right at the start of the movie where Doc Brown pulls up on the drive of Marty's house, we see a panning shot as Marty and Jennifer walk to the DeLorean - there are no vehicles parked on that side of the street. A moment later as Marty waves his hand in front of the Doc's glasses, there's a green VW bus parked almost outside the house. Then as the Doc's looking through the rubbish bin, the VW's moved further down the street. Then as the DeLorean backs off the drive, there's a yellow VW bus there instead. (00:01:20 - 00:02:05)

Bunglebus

Continuity mistake: At the start of this film (and the end of the prior film), Marty and Jennifer talk with Doc who has just returned from the future to retrieve them. A shot looks over the rear half of the DeLorean at Marty and Jenn and we see the street behind them. Ignoring that Jennifer is now played by a different actress, there is a tree missing behind her, as is the truck with a camper-shell that was two driveways back. Parked in the street is a VW bus where a Pontiac Firebird was. Marty has also gained a wristwatch not present in the same scene in the earlier film. (00:01:40)

johnrosa

Continuity mistake: At the start, the DeLorean hits the left dustbin and comes to a halt. At the other side of the street, there is only one car parking near to a house. From another angle there's a different red car parking on the other side of the street, and the tree that stood between both houses has gone. (00:01:15)

Factual error: When Marty enters the 1955 Hill Valley, one of the cars has a white licence plate with blue text and a sunset, which was not used until 1982. (01:04:54)
