Quotes
Bob Gale: When Bob Zemekis and I first wrote "Back to the Future", the time machine was a refrigerator, and Bob Zemekis, the director, said, "Wouldn't it be simpler if Doc actually built the time machine into a car?" And then he says, "And what if he car was a DeLorean?" It wasn't my idea but I know a damn good idea when I hear one. This was a damn good idea. So I said, yeah that's great.

Crazy credits
There is a final scene after the credits featuring Alec Baldwin.

Good but could have been so much better.

I remember when this was happening but at that point in my life, I was not interested in the whole affair. It was a good to see this documentary but I know there was so much more that should be in the story. It would been so much better without Baldwin. They should have used the time and money on more research and story telling.
