The Time Travel Paradoxes of Back To the Future
brumgrunt sent in a fun little piece to get your brain going on a cloudy monday morning. Despite countless viewings of BTTF I still never thought of a few of these. "Throughout Back To The Future Part III, there has to be two Deloreans in 1885. Also, why don't George and Lorraine recognize their son? Why doesn't the time machine disappear in the alternative 1985? These and more Back To The Future paradoxes explored..."

Boris Badenof has just cut the rope on a large treasure chest that dangles over a cliff. Of course he is standing on the treasure chest at the time so they both fall together. In typical comic form the treasure chest inverts as it falls, so Boris is underneath it as it crashes to the ground.

Boris says in response: "Don't worry, tis only cartoon".
In reference to Einstein's dead body, of course.

Delorean actually made that many DMC-12s?
Yes, but most were seized by the DEA ...
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
I still remember their ad slogan: "Buy Delorean, Because You Can't Spend *All* Your Money On Cocaine.

You mean to tell me that in the movie about the time travelling, flying delorean, that runs variously on a fusion engine and stolen libyan plutonium, that there's something unrealistic about the plot of that movie? NOOOO!

Can anyone explain it to me in simple terms? I'm not a physicist.
Sure...wherever you go, there you are..
The mind conceives, the body achieves, the spirit manifests.
You realize you just doomed yourself, yeah? Want to ask what could possibly go wrong while you're at it?

Oh, great, now I'm reading these posts in Tom Servo's voice.
No, it was cheaper to replicate them through time travel.
It's the timey wimey wibbly wobbley....
She's probably just shocked that she looks nothing like what she looked like in the first movie.
When Doc is talking to himself in 1955, I am pretty sure he created a pair of docs.
