Back to the Future fan spots mind-blowing detail many missed - 35 years later

A fan of the Back to the Future movie released in 1985 has recently spotted something interesting in the movie about the mall that is blowing people's minds

www.mirror.co.uk

Spoiler: The detail

the name of the mall changed

I mainly wanted to make this thread because I thought it was hilarious that this was being treated as a "mind-blowing" new discovery.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Yea, I laughed since I found this out years and years ago

 

[M. Wallace]

This is as old as the movie.

 

[xxracerxx]

How fucking dumb. Just goes to show people have the attention span of a gnat.

 

[Serrato]

Pretty sure it's one of the most telegraphied change in the movie.

 

[TheDutchSlayer]

aaaah man I thought it was something really new after all this time.
This is just lame click bait of the highest lvl (from the mirror btw not from the OP just to be clear)

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

TODAY IS THE DATE MARTY GOES INTO THE FUTURE.

 

[slider]

Wowzas. Even I spotted that as a kid.

 

[Randomly Generated]

This has been known since, like , people used the internet to discuss movies.

Next someone will write an article about Kevin's plane ticket getting thrown out in Home Alone.

 

[Deleted member 1086]

that's been an IMDB trivia point since the site was launched

 

[Blackpuppy]

huh?... I surely can't be the only one who noticed it on VHS 30 years ago?

 

[hjort]

Wat. This is one of those things you catch on your first viewing.

 

[Liquid Plejades]

🤡

 

[nded]

I noticed this when I was like twelve years old.

 

[Tobor]

I just can't with you kids.

 

[M. Wallace]

I still run into people who don't know about Eric Stoltz.

 

[Ithil]

You space bastard, you killed my pine!

 

[Lump]

While Clark said that the S stands for hope, real fans of Superman know that - for years - the S stood for Superman.

 

[Darth Pinche]

Are people that distracted? This was obvious the first time seeing it

 

[Deleted member 31333]

Cool. I watched this movie a ton as a kid and never noticed this.

I'll admit, I only recently noticed this in recent years when rewatching the film in HD.

 

[Deleted member 43070]

Yea. It's like really you just now noticed this. Also saw one idiot out there who doesn't know Biff From Mad Dog and was like interesting fact BTTF 3 is the first time Doc interacts with Biff at all and it shows a picture of Bufford.

 

[LProtagonist]

Is this satire or something

 

[Smokeymicpot]

Rex Chapman is the one of the worst follows on twitter. That is how this all started. He just crops out the og content and sends it without proof.

Next thing that is gonna be tweeted is how the mother is the same actress and how Michael J Fox plays his kid in the second.

 

[Foltzie]

That's not what happened to Mufasa's body.

 

[Addie]

The next thing you'll tell me is that Marty altering the timeline permanently changed Jennifer.

 

[Schlorgan]

The TikTok video that blew this wide open and went viral

 

[HStallion]

Another surprising fact was that Mad Dog Tannen was played by the same actor as Biff.

 

[Teejay]

Usually sites feature stuff that they picked up on a post that becomes popular, it's the whole sharing stuff and going viral thing.

I remember seeing that a few days ago at imgur. It looks like the same video without the tiktok watermark/logo.

I did not know that

You know what else NOBODY KNOWS?!

The popular adult cartoon show Rick and Morty was inspired by the relationship between Marty and Doc! Crazy huh!

 

[Dalek]

I can't believe anyone misses this. I was 8 when this movie came out and I caught it then!

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Really?
The mall?
Really?

And they call themselves fans

 

[Alien Bob]

The bushes in Mario are just recolored clouds

 

[The Albatross]

This was me as a 7 year old

 

[Tater]

huh?... I surely can't be the only one who noticed it on VHS 30 years ago?

Yeah, I don't get it either. That was one of the first things I noticed.

 

[Deleted member 60582]

They telegraphed it the entire film...the breeding pine trees line explaining why the mall was named as such, Marty destroying one of the two pines in Old Man Peabody's yard, the fucking Lone Pine Mall sign toward the end of the film literally shining in your face in the middle of the damn screen...

 

[mztik]

That was front and center in the movie. Might be hidden for people with short attention span.

 

[ErrorJustin]

Before I clicked on this topic I said to myself "I swear to god if this is about Lone Pine Mall..."

A new generation of internet youth "discovers" this ever ~2-3 years.

 

[Captain_Vyse]

That's been known since the movie was released.

 

[T002 Tyrant]

People never noticed this?

 

[Doggg]

 

[Wyman Manderly]

I swear we do this story every 2 or 3 years

 

[FormatCompatible]

And by fans you mean some kids who just watched the movie for first time?

 

[Pirateluigi]

Other little known trivia about the movie: Doc Brown scoffs at the idea of Reagan, a well known actor, becoming president, but Reagan actually DID become president in 1981!

 

[Kurita]

Do people watch movies with both the screen and the sound off

 

[mztik]

Did they also noticed the Doc invented a time machine.. out of a Delorean?!

 

[Deleted member 1086]

You ever notice how the person who owns the Toyota dealership in the beginning of the movie when the truck is brought up on a flatbed also owned the town's Studebaker dealership in 1955?

 

[Cantaim]

Another surprising fact was that Mad Dog Tannen was played by the same actor as Biff.

Get the fuck outta here, are you serious?

 

[IamError]

I noticed that when I saw the movie in theaters when I was 9 years old.

Lolz what a tease of a thread
