Back to the Future II: Marty watches Biff commit GTA in 2015
I might be the only one who notices this, but when Biff steals the Delorean in Back to the Future II (in the future), keep your eyes on Marty as he walks away , at first following that dog that is walking itself. Biff steps into the forground and takes the car...but if you keep your eyes on marty out of focus in the background, he stops... does this really weird hop ...and then seemingly stands there and watches Biff take the Delorean.
whoops....maybe Marty was in on it from the beginning...i love Michael J Fox, but i always thought Marty might be out to destroy the universe, HERE IS THE PROOF....you shady hill-valleyian.

HERE'S MY REBUTTAL...you slacker!
I pulled up my copy on my laptop to check it out and while he does do a little hop and stop, he's not looking at Biff but rather the house. Just before the scene cuts to the DeLorean, he bends down slightly as though to squint at the house.
I always found that scene a little unusual anyway since he couldn't hear the DeLorean taking off nor see it with his peripheral vision. I suppose he was very interested in the house and the old saying, 'Out of sight, out of mind' applies here.
Then again...it was before Doc learned all the lessons he learned about time travel safety...)
EDIT: Oh my goodness...I actually spelled scene as seen...I deserve to be whipped for that...
It woudn't have been a big deal if old marty did see it. From his perspective, he'd remember the trip to 1955 (there's a fair amount of evidene in 2015 that these events did happen) and know what happened. He wouldnt remember his trip to 2015 as this is happening now. The danger is him seeing his younger self.
It's quite possible that mr fusion is a regular household appliance in 2015 that the general person knows.
Robots walk dogs in the future? I can't wait for the future, Yipee!!
He doesnt hear it because of what that huge amp probably did to his ears. :P
You're going to keep pushing that until somebody makes a short joke right?
Maybe he was hopping mad?
Thank you, thank you! I am proud to have made the first (and extremely bad) joke of the topic. I'd like to thank my parents for being so supportive, my siblings for always being there for me, Doc Brown, the Telltale Games Forum members for being so encouraging and, of course, "the hop" that Michael J. Fox performed in the background of Back to the Future Part II. God bless *insert your country's name here* and have a good night!
oberlerchner123, I refrained from making a 'short' joke in your honor.
Your wish is my command.
Lucky you. The kid, who uploaded the clip, added this to his channel ten or so minutes ago.
But if it had taken 5 days then that would have caused massive problems for Marty and Doc cos until he did return they would have been stuck in the future searching for the Deloreon at all costs.
Plus if its the only flying Deloreon in town it might have been quite hard to hide.
No it would just mean there'd be 2 biffs for those 5 days, similar to how there is 2 marty's at the end of part I: because one got there before the other left.
No there wouldn't because the first one faded out as soon as he returned.
And that wasn't what I meant anyway.
Actually no he didnt. Since the scene was deleted, it is up to interpretation.
And if i was going to make any off color jokes, they wouldn't be about anyones height. they'd be about , if William Mcfly returns in the latest episode, will he pee on Marty again?
Classy.
Doesn't Marty say it's a nuclear reactor in episode 3 though? But then who knows, maybe by 2015 everyone knows how to work nuclear reactors.
Fusion implies explicitly that a nuclear reaction is taking place.
Also:
"Home" implies that it's a household appliance of sorts. And it is a reactor.
So I have two thoughts about it.
One, is that it's likely not in regular use in 2015, but that Doc had it added at an even later date. Because we know he had been farther than that.
The other, is that "fusion" could just be a catchy product name, and that it is really doing a more direct matter-energy conversion somehow (which would still probably be dangerous).
Edit: In whatever time it was installed, Doc still wasn't using Mr. Fusion as fuel source for the car (and neither were any of the other cars that I can recall, which would say something about the high cost of the device vs. the potential savings in fuel or power bills). I can imagine him getting some funny looks when he brought the thing in to upgrade the nuclear reactor that is basically acting as a replacement car battery.
They probably saw him as a very strange antique collector. I mean, that's what a DeLorean is now, an antique.
Although I DO wonder how he managed to get the DeLorean--and for that matter a friggin' TRAIN--hover-converted without arousing extreme suspicion, what with the obviously labeled time travel circuits and all. (The train is even worse in this regard...that must have been far more expensive, to say the least.)
I think you're underestimating the Doc. Grease a few palms the right way, you never have to answer any questions.
