Goofs
In the end of Back to the Future, when Marty and Jennifer are interrupted by Doc, Marty is not wearing a wristwatch. But when the scene was re-shot for the opening of Back to the Future Part II, Marty is wearing a wristwatch. Also, Marty and Jennifer have switched places --- at the end of BTTF1, Marty had sat in the middle and Jennifer on the outside --- but of course this change in their seating-positions was necessary so that Dioc could reach Jennifer easily to put her to sleep with the alpha rhythm generator.

How 'bout a ride, mister?

Crazy Credits
The DVD version (Region 4) has "To Be Concluded" just before the start of the credits. See more »
Marty McFly is back, and this time he has to travel back to 1955 after an unfortunate incident which took place in 2015 so that he can prevent the destruction of the peaceful society of Hill Valley (what a great fictional name!). The film provides two hours of absolutely wonderful and fun entertainment.
Every paradox and logical problem of time-travel is explained very well in the film itself, and those that are left out are easily overlooked due to the creativeness of the rest of the film. Who cares that if Marty leaves 1985 in a time machine to 2015, there would be no Marty left in 1985 to grow to up into the 47 year old Marty in 2015? This movie is so much fun that things like this are gladly forgotten about in order to accept the huge amount of satisfaction delivered by the film.
The Back To The Future trilogy is a perfect example of the need to be willing to abandon at least a tiny bit of logic in order to fully enjoy a movie. This suspension of disbelief is necessary for a person to be able to truly experience the effectiveness of all three Back To The Future films, and this experience truly is a great one.
It is so rare that a film or a series of films comes along that is so well written and perfectly acted and directed as the Back To The Future movies are. Although I realize that another sequel would probably be disastrous to the credibility of the series as a whole, I have to admit that I have always been disappointed that they stopped at the third film. All three are so much fun that they leave you wishing that the story left room for a few more sequels.
