Trivia

Doc mentions that he left Einstein in a suspended animation kennel in 2015. This line was written in to explain why Einstein was not with Doc when he came back to 1985 to pick up Marty and Jennifer, since in Back to the Future, Einstein had gone with Doc into the future, but was not there when Doc came back at the end of the film/beginning of Back to the Future Part II.
