Awesome Back To The Future

The 1980s gave us some of the best movie music ever. CLMC Music mashed up two great ’80s tracks, Alan Silvestri’s theme from Back to the Future and Danny Elfman’s music from Tim Burton’s Batman. In this movie, Batman must go back in time to prevent Bruce Wayne’s parents from being murdered by Joker… so Batman never exists.

The car that Doc Brown drove (and flew) in the Back to the Future movies was a DeLorean DMC-12. Mixing things up for the 21st century, the guys from Supercar Blondie show off the TMC-12x, a Tesla Model X Plaid modified by The Shop in Tampa to look like the time machine. The EV even leaves a trail of fire on the ground. Stick around for a second awesome car.

No matter how much we’ve wanted one, Mattel never made a real-world Hoverboard like the one in Back to the Future II. JLaserVideo built a working hoverboard that can float a couple of inches off the ground. After exploring various kinds of levitation technology and their limitations, he settled on a design that works like an upside-down air hockey table.

There are lots of collectibles based on the DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future, but Tomy has the most accurate replica yet. Their 1:10-scale die-cast metal time machine measures 17″ long, has working interior and exterior lighting, gullwing doors, and even emits smoke from its rear fins. Early birds can save $100 off what is likely to be a pricey toy.

As of today, it’s been 37 years since Back to the Future premiered. Movie fan and world traveler Matthias Schwarzer headed to Los Angeles, California, on a mission to find some of the movie’s original filming locations and see how they have changed over the years. We love how the McFly’s house looks pretty much the same.

It’s doubtful we’ll ever get another sequel to the Back to the Future films. But this fan-made trailer for BTTF Part IV makes us want one. Smasher put together this imaginative teaser trailer using footage of Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox as Doc and Marty zoom even further into the future on a grand new adventure.

Great Scott! Bicycle’s official Back to the Future playing cards come in a sweet electric blue and foil-stamped tuck case. The custom face cards include illustrations of Doc, Marty, Biff, and more, while the card backs have a sweet DeLorean time machine and flux capacitor design.

Instruments? Where we’re going, we don’t need instruments! The members of the Korean a cappella group MayTree hit 88 MPH with with another great performance, taking on the most recognizable part of Alan Silvestri’s main theme from Back to the Future.

Movies sometimes mention their own title at some point in their dialogue, but it’s not often they do it as many times as they did in the Back to the Future trilogy. I Love Fun compiled this edit that shows just how many times Doc Brown and Marty uttered the phrase.

Thanks in large part to Back to the Future, the DeLorean DMC-12 is one of the most iconic cars of all time. While we probably will never drive one, it’s good to know that it’s possible to build a tiny version with enough skill and time. Ank Creative shows off the modelmaking process for one incredibly detailed mini DeLorean.

Over the years, there have been many fan builds based on Doc Brown’s DeLorean time machine. Now, LEGO has made it official with this 1872-piece kit that can be configured to look like the versions of the car from BTTF, BTTF II, and BTTF III. It includes a light-up Flux Capacitor, a Mr. Fusion, a Hoverboard, and more.

Head Back to the Future every time you get dressed in Heel Tread’s Time Machine socks. Inspired by Doc Brown’s DeLorean, they’ll send you through time if you can run at 88 mph. Part of their Hollywood Wheels collection, which includes Mad Max’s Ford Interceptor, the Ghostbusters’ ECTO-1, and Herbie the Love Bug.

Kidrobot presents a soft and squishy replica of the Hover Board that Marty McFly swipes and rides in Back to the Future II. Measuring 28″ long, the plush and colorful version of the board is a perfect match to the floating movie prop, minus the original’s Mattel logo.

Doc and Marty would have never let their ride fall into the kind of disrepair that this DeLorean DMC-12 model was in at the start of this video. Honestly, it looks like somebody dropped it into a pond and left it there to rot. Can the folks at Good Restore make this toy look as good as new? The answer is a resounding “yes.”

A few years back, Lexus created a working prototype of a Hoverboard. But it required a special supercooled track. Hacksmith Industries worked with engineer Jimmy Zhou to create a version that uses rapidly-spinning magnets. Plus it looks like the board that Marty McFly rode in the movie. Check out part one of the build here.

Insight Editions presents a workshop manual for Doc and Marty’s stainless steel ride. Due out 3.30.2021, the book features detailed drawings you could use to maintain your own time-traveling DMC-12. It also includes journal entries from Doc Brown and details on the Time Train, Hoverboards, and other goodies.
