On the Broken Time Travel Logic of Back to the Future Part 2 (Blog Entry by lucky760)

lucky760 says...

@bamdrew: "If this logic were strictly adhered to I don't see how you could ever return to your original future once you've gone to the past" -- Nice theory, but it's proven wrong in BTTF 1 where Marty didn't return to his original future. He landed in the altered future (where his brother's a lawyer, his father's an author, he has a truck, etc.).

@campionidelmondo: Those are some great thoughts that will help me sleep at night. I like the idea of #2, as it reminds me of Bill and Ted: "Later, I'll travel back to before we got locked in this cage and give myself the key... Now I have the key!"

Glad I'm not the only one who overlooked this gaping hole for so many, many years. That's how you know these movies are really great- they're capable of distracting you by entertaining you so thoroughly.

Side note: I learned in the new special features that the original ending was written so that Marty drove the Delorean into a nuclear bomb test detonation in the desert rather than hitting the lightning cable at precisely 88 mph. (And what are the odds he could hit the cable at the split second the lightning bolt was hitting it? Another quirk that's started bothering me.)
