I think is the other delorean! and thats what u should discover...
I like it very much, its like makes the 3rd movie another reality, and gets u back to a better situation!!! and theres more mistery, and its good!!!
LIKE IT!:D
Marty did not send the letter into the past. At the end of part 1 Doc travels to 2015. It's this version of Doc that Marty sent the letter to.
Does this make more sense now?
INT. INDIAN DRIVE-INN THEATER RESTROOM - DAY
Marty is hiding in a bathroom stall with his feet on the toilet seat. In the stall next to him another version of Marty is getting dressed as Clint Eastwood.
Marty sees the other Marty pass the bathroom stall still wearing his Nike sneakers.
EXT. INDIAN DRIVE-INN THEATER - DAY
VIA CON DIOS!
A gun is fired in the air by Doc several times. The Delorean starts lighting up and enters the vortex right before smashing into the Indians painted on the drive-in screen.
'55 DOC runs closer to the screen, yelling euphorically!
Ya-Haaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
Marty steps out of the bathroom.
Doc!
'55 Doc turns, sees Marty and Freaks out!
YAAAAAA!!!!!
'55 DOC points the gun towards Marty
But I just sent you to the past!
Marty looks at the drive-inn screen.
I know doc. But now I'm back again from the Future and I need your help!
'55 DOC drops the gun and staggers back. clutching his chest
Not again Doc...
'55 DOC has a look of acceptance and stands up straight
Right!
Marty and Doc walk behind a giant boulder to see the Delorean.
INT. DELOREAN - DAY
'55 DOC gets into the Delorean and shuts the passenger gull-wing door.
This is the most exciting moment of my life Marty! I'm about to travel through time!
Marty in the driver seat enters a date into the time display. OCT 26, 1985 08:00 AM.
We need to find a nice smooth path to get up to 88 MPH
MARTY
No Doc..where we're going we don't need roads.
Marty flicks a switch and the Delorean hovers into the air.
EXT. DELOREAN - DAY
The delorean goes forward flying through the air and turns around to the camera and vanishes.
FADE OUT:
SUPERIMPOSE: TO BE CONTINUED
THE END (is displayed).
Fades.
OR IS IT? (is displayed).
Fades.
A clock starts ticking.
Wednesday, March 4th, 2015, 7.25pm. (is displayed).
Int. McFly Household.
The camera fixes on an old fashioned clock with a man dangling from the hands. The camera pans around the sitting room to reveal Marty Senior (47) and Jennifer (47) who are sitting watching television. They no longer live in Hilldale as in Back to the Future part II. Instead they live in a large fairly expensive house. It is also noticeable that 2015 as depicted in Back to the Future part II when Marty, Doc & Jennifer visited, isn’t as futuristic as it was. Marty is a retired Rockstar, and the camera pans around the room showing platinum discs, Rolling Stone magazine and other such awards are dotted around the room. The camera moves to show Marty looking at the old photograph he has with Doc standing by the Courthouse clock in 1885.
MARTY SENIOR
Can you believe Jen, its 2015 already? I mean the time’s gone so quick since Doc left in the train with his family. I really thought he would’ve come back to live in the present.
JENNIFER
Well, you remember all that trouble with the FBI over the missing plutonium and those awful terrorists back in 1985. You had one hell of a job shaking them off. Doc would’ve probably have been arrested if he came back to live in this time.
MARTY SENIOR
Maybe he thought it was for the best. Anyway I don’t think Clara would’ve felt at home a hundred years ahead of her time, and Doc always dreamt of living in the old west. I wonder how it all turned out for him. Things certainly made a difference without him today. The time we visited 2015 back then there were flying cars and all sorts. Doc must have been a major influence or invented something pretty big in that alternative reality to have made it so futuristic.
JENNIFER
Look at us then Marty, our lives turned out completely different. If it weren’t for you avoiding that awful accident with the Rolls Royce in 1985, we’d have been living in Hilldale. We would’ve married in the Chapel of Love! Imagine that?
MARTY SENIOR
Don’t even think about it. I’d have never been as successful as I was.
JENNIFER
You would’ve injured your hand and never played guitar again.
MARTY SENIOR
The thought of that makes me shudder.
JENNIFER
More importantly, we’d have only had two kids. We wouldn’t have had much money and struggled by bringing the two of them up. If it wasn’t for your rock career, we never would’ve had Scott. He’d never have even been born.
MARTY SENIOR
Life without Scott? Geez Jen that would’ve been so different. Where are the kids anyway?
JENNIFER
Marlene’s at her friends doing her homework and Junior and Scott should be in their rooms doing there’s.
MARTY SENIOR
I’m gonna go check on Scott, I bet he’s playing that damn video game again.
Marty heads to the door.
Int. Scott’s bedroom.
Posters of skateboarders and rockstars are on the wall. There is a skateboard leaning against the wall.
Scott (15) is sitting on his bed playing his video game as Marty suspected. He’s playing a flight simulator game and is really good at it. After several moments of Scott cursing and making the usual sounds you make playing a video game, Marty enters the room.
MARTY SENIOR
I knew it Scott, playing that damn game again. Why aren’t you doing your homework?
SCOTT
Aw Dad…
MARTY SENIOR
Come on son, you know how much your grades are slipping; I don’t want to see another report like the one you got last semester. Get on with it.
SCOTT
I can’t, my laptop is malfunctioning.
MARTY SENIOR
Can’t you use you palmtop?
SCOTT
It takes too long to use that.
MARTY SENIOR
You’ve still gotta do your homework; it’s not an option. I’ll go and get my laptop; you can do it on that.
SCOTT
Aww.
Marty goes off to fetch his laptop. Scott gets up, switches his game off, picks up a school bag and takes the work he needs to do out of it. Marty soon returns with the laptop and gives it to Scott.
MARTY SENIOR
Now get on with it. No excuses, I’m gonna check on you shortly to make sure you’re doing it.
Marty turns and leaves the room and Scott pulls a face.
Int. living room. Jennifer has prepared drinks. Marty enters the room and takes his drink.
MARTY SENIOR
Cheers Jen, he’s hard work sometimes. What were you saying about him not even being born?
JENNIFER
You wouldn’t have him any other way Marty, he’s just like you were at his age.
Int. Scott’s room.
Scott plays around with his dad’s laptop. Instead of getting on with his homework he’s snooping around his dad’s files. He finds a folder called “Personal”. He clicks it open and finds another folder called “Do not open until 2016”. Scott looks round to see if anybody’s coming in the room and opens it inquisitively. The folder opens and reveals a file called “My journeys back to the future by Marty McFly”. Scott scrolls down and sees words like “1955”, “Doc” and “Time Machine” and illustrations of DeLorean cars and Flux Capacitors.
SCOTT
This looks interesting…
Scott looks round again to see if anybody’s coming and proceeds to copy the file onto his palmtop computer.
Fade into opening credits. Back to the Future Part IV logo appears on the screen to the Back to the Future theme tune.
Thats just the begining of it, but I hope you liked it.
Butch's alternate Doc-idea would at least keep enough of the original Doc character to be acceptable by the fans (recent Sam&Max season endings might not work as well
Bagrisham: Marty's son "Scott". That was really great.
I think this is very close to what Gale maybe would have done if MJF could do part IV and he wanted to continue the story. But personally, I have always despised the idea that kids of our day get ahold of the DeLorean. This was presented by TTG in the survey as one of four plot options, irresponsible teenagers travelling through time. My love for BTTF is grounded on nostalgia, so I would naturally want to continue the story in 1985 (confirmed already, yay!), and if they time-travel to 2015, it would be like in BTTF II. So, there are NO MOBILE PHONES OR LAPTOPS in the future.
LOOK AT WHAT I MADE BTTF 4
I like this approach for a fourth movie because putting a lot of focus on Marty, Jennifer, or even the Doc might be a bad idea anyway considering all the time that has past since the last one.
Then he grabs a pet monkey by the throat with the other hand under the desk and places him on his desk and the monkey grabs a pair of sun glasses from behind itself, puts them on and starts dancing...
Doc says "Groovy"...then reaches in his pocket as he sits down throws his feet up on the desk and starts smoking a rolled joint.
"Yeah...." "Yeah, that's it...dance you mother...dance!"
The class is busy taking a test and all the sudden MArty McFly runs into the room screaming DOC! DOC! DOC!
The class jumps up in surprise and then Doc of course apologizes to the class for such a racket.
What is it MARTYYY!?
DOC!!! DOC!!! DOC!!!
what kid?...what?...
DOC!!! DOC!!! DOC!!!
Doc pulls out a baseball bat and smacks Marty across the face, Marty hits the ground and then Doc beats him senseless on the floor...
IM TEACHING A CLASS MARTY!!! IM TEACHING A CLASS!!!!
A student raises his hand and says, Doc, I have a question. Doc covered in blood turns around and sits back in his seat and says
Shoot, kid, what is it?
Marty crawls out the door on his hands and knees and then Doc jumps out the window and outside the window from inside the class we see Doc slamming Marty's face into the ground.
BLANK SCREEN...
BACK TO THE FUTURE, PART IV LOGO APPEARS
CUT TO MOVIE.
Pretty good, huh?
marty's hanging around at the railroad tracks where the delorean was destroyed picking up parts and thinking about good old times.
then, out of nowhere doc brown arrives with the train timemachine, accidently hitting marty while reentering, marty dies in great pain and doc has to travel back to prevent himself from killing his best friend. but thats not as easy as it looks, cause after reentering the timetrain derailed, cause of all the sh*t from the destroyed delorean still lying on the railroad tracks, the timetrain turns over a few times and doc's whole family dies in this accident, he's the only one who's going to survive. the time train is destroyed too, so he has to built a whole new time machine from scratch to get back in time to prevent all the sh*t he caused by traveling back to 1985 one time to often from ever happening.
after the events i just explained there's a close up of doc and he says: "GREAT!!! SCOTT!!!"
then teh title screen appears and teh theme begins to play.
This could work for me. That could be the part Michael J Fox voices "AHHHHH!"
He meets up with Doc in the past and they go to a Nuclear test site and use the atom bomb to send Marty back to the future (It'll be a really cool scene but in no way like Indy 4).
Once Marty returns to the future he finds that there are now flying cars everywhere and his dad is a boxer.
The End.
Alan Johnson is drinking his morning coffee. Suddenly, the plate glass windows near him explode and a Delorean drives in through the building. Michael J Fox gets out. Several people rush in to see what's going on and are astonished.
FOX
Alan! This is an emergency...
ALAN
Michael, what the hell? I haven't
had any coffee yet. I'm not ready
for this.
FOX
It's the games, Alan. Something's
gotta be done about the games.
ALAN
We're going to do a good job!
FOX
You do. But we've got to go back
and stop those other ones from
being made.
ALAN
Alright. *chugs coffee down*
Let's do it. I'll form Telltale back
in '85.
The two of them get in the Delorean.
FOX
Wait, I need to tap into yet another
theory of time travel. The 3 movies
didn't cover enough.
ALAN
What do you... ?
Fox raises a hand, gets out and goes over to the computer.
FOX
This is heavy... Nobody calls me chicken...
(mumbling)
SUPER: 6 Hours Later
INT/EXT - DELOREAN.
Alan is dozing. He wakes up as Marty gets in the car.
FOX
Dialogue is recorded for this timeline!!
He starts the car. As Alan punches the air and whoops, Fox reverses the car out of the office.
ALAN
(raising his Starbucks cup) Maybe I should
grab some more Starbucks...
FOX
Starbucks? Where we're going, there's no Starbucks!
Thank God.
The car reverses out. As we hear the car speed away and twin booms, the rest of the office excitedly gather around the computer to listen to Fox's dialogue.
AJ (dejectedly)
They could have let me squeeze in...
FADE TO BLACK. OPENING TITLES
:cool:
However, I don't buy it. It took him so long to make the first one because he was still figuring it out, trial and error. We already know he made a second time machine in (presumably) a much shorter time, so making another DeLorean should be easy.
Not much, but it might have helped.
