Corrected entry: When Jules, Marty's son, comes out of the train at the end, look at his expression. He looks like he is about to burst out laughing.

Correction: First of all, he's Doc's son, not Marty's. And second, there is no reason why the kid should not be laughing. Maybe he is excited about travelling through time, maybe he finds the 1980's surroundings funny, or maybe his brother had just told him a joke. There are a thousand possible explanations to this.

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie in 1955, Marty has Einstein with him and left him with Doc of 1955. At the end of the movie Doc from 1885 went back to 1985 to see Marty and said he had to come back for Einstein, but wasn't Einstein with the Doc of 1955. So how did Doc get him back, is there some kind of explanation?

Correction: Marty never has Einstein with him. The dog in 1955 was named Copernicus. Einstein had first been in 1985 (first movie), then travelled into the future with Doc, where he was cryogenically frozen in a kennel while Doc and Marty tried to straighten things out (second movie). Doc was then sent to 1885, made a new steam-powered time machine and went to the 21st century to "come back for Einstein", before dropping in on Marty in 1985 and say goodbye.

Corrected entry: As the train approaches the DeLorean there is no wooden scaffold to hold the rubber tyres acting as a buffer, yet in the next shot a few seconds later, there is a wooden scaffold on the cow catcher.

Correction: The next shot is after a cut, in which time Doc could have mounted the (obviously home-made) scaffold on the cow catcher.

Corrected entry: The arrow stuck in the side of the DeLorean is perpendicular to the car, but that side wasn't facing the Indians during the chase so they couldn't have hit it.

Correction: There are several times during the chase where you see the Indians ride up on both sides of the DeLorean, including the driver's side. The mistakes, as noted elsewhere, is that the car after all these shots jumps to a point in front of the Indians, and that the arrow appears out of nowhere, but yes, there are occasionally Indians who pass the car on the driver's side.

Corrected entry: Isn't it strange that Doc didn't destroy all his stuff in the blacksmith's workshop before going back to the future? Clara goes back to the workshop and finds the model of the railroad and the Delorean, clearly labeled "time machine."

Correction: It's a small wooden model of a strange horseless wagon that says it has "magical" properties. Who would believe it was anything but a toy, or some crazy old man's imagination running wild?
