Скачать или смотреть Back to the Future (1985): 20 Weird Facts You Didn't Know About The Time-Travel Classic!

In 1985, Back to the Future didn’t look like a guaranteed classic — it looked like a disaster. The script was rejected 40 times. Disney called it “inappropriate.” The first Marty McFly was fired after weeks of shooting. Even the studio tried to rename it “Spaceman From Pluto.” What we now call a time‑travel masterpiece was, for a long time, the movie nobody wanted to make.

Behind the DeLorean and the 88 miles per hour were pure production nightmares. Michael J. Fox was shooting Family Ties by day and Back to the Future by night, sleeping three hours and nearly collapsing from exhaustion. The DeLorean barely ran and often had to be pushed into shots. Crispin Glover hated the ending so much he refused to return for the sequels, triggering a lawsuit that changed Hollywood contracts. Even the Libyan terrorists sparked real‑world controversy that followed the film for decades.

But inside that chaos, Zemeckis and Gale were quietly building a mythology. The flux capacitor came from a real bathroom accident. The clock tower was just a backlot facade and miniatures. Ronald Reagan loved the movie so much he quoted it in a State of the Union address. The sequels were shot back‑to‑back, the 2015 predictions came eerily close to reality, and the entire franchise grew out of a script everyone said was “too soft” and “unmarketable.”

These are 20 weird facts you didn’t know about Back to the Future (1985) — the time‑travel classic that almost never got made, then went on to rewrite Hollywood history.
