Default McFly - "Back to the future"

In case you weren't aware yet - Today is the day that Marty McFly arrived in the future after hitting 88mph in a pimped out Delorean in 1985.

And yesterday that same picture in the hoax had the 5th of July 2010 instead.

And most fans would know it was a trip to 1955 in the first.. followed by a leap to 2015 in the 2nd and finally 1885 in the third.

If you can't even remember Marty McFly's exact movements between years its barely worth conversing with you. simple, 1985-1955-2015-1985-1955-1885-1985.

Sorry, just realized it was a joke. Though I knew they never went to that date, there are are few times when the time machine messes up the display and other dates appear and you see Doc slapping it to fix it. I thought this must have been one of those dates. That would really take a good eye and memory!

Any BTTF fan knows it's 2015, so still time for hover conversions!

Any self-respecting BTTF fan would know that it's actually 2015 and be eagerly awaiting flying cars and hoverboards.

Close but....

1985 - 1955 - 1985 - 2015 (Delorean went to 1955 briefly) - 1985 - 1955 - 1885 (twice) - 1985

In fact at one point in 1955 there were 4 Delorean time machines in Hill Valley!
Original at (1955) Doc's place
One with Biff
One in abandoned mine
One with (1985) Doc

Although it could be argued that the one in the mine wouldn't have existed until (1985) Doc hadn't of travelled to 1885!

Ah, but I was talking about the movements of marty mcfly, not the delorean. In that case it would be...

1985 - 1955 - 1985 - 2015 - 1985 - 2015 (Delorean went to 1955 briefly) - 1985 - 1955 - 1885 (twice) - 1985

you forgot that at the end of the first movie doc goes to 2015 without marty and gets the hover conversion done (roads? where we're going we dont need roads). if you wanted to get really specific you could list the part where einstein goes one minute into the future in 1985...
