The following pictures are of things I only noticed after viewing BTTF a couple hundred times. They're little things that I don't think you're supposed to notice until after multiple viewings, although I'm sure there's someone out there who will read this and email me, going, "But I saw that immediately, you're slow." To which I will say, "Who asked you?" So don't bother. Anyway, these are just some little things I found kind of cool.




George McFly's 1955 house is adorned with a little sign that says McFLYS. So cute.





One of the speakers on stage at the dance is sitting on a Pepsi box! Mmmm Pepsi. Okay, so in about three minutes the box will disappear so Marty can kick over the speaker, but... it's still cool while it lasts.





Towards the end of the movie, Marty comes out of his bedroom carrying a small package. What could be in the package? Why, it must be his audition tape! He really is going to send it into the record company!





This is the Clock Tower Lady's pin. Eh, I just think it's cool. Universal should market these.





When Marty retrieves change from his pocket to pay for his coffee in 1955, he accidentally pulls out a guitar pick, too. Then he runs out leaving all his stuff sitting there for somebody to ponder later... oh well.





This shot is so quick that you almost have to pause on it to study the complexity of it. Check it out, it's Doc's saxophone! You can see this in 1955 near the fire extinguisher. And in the background, you can see a bathroom. Is this the infamous toilet Doc fell off of in 1955? Was there even a bathroom in his garage/lab in 1955, or was that installed after he started living in his lab? And why am I pondering bathrooms...?





The McFlys have a pet bird! That... never moves! Or makes noise! But it's a bird nonetheless, and when history changes, the bird's still around, he just has a much nicer cage.






Not all of the clocks in Doc's lab are set to the incorrect time. If Marty had just seen this clock, he would have known that he was nearly late for school. Except... is this one even plugged in?





Hill Valley High School's graffiti wall. Isn't it a masterpiece? But what does it all mean? "Ozy Wizard"... "Velma"... "Smegma"... "Smiley"...? And, of course, "Bob." Very cryptic.
