That's the problem with a lot of time travel movies. You can't think about it too much or else you'll find way too many problems. Back to the Future II is the worst offender in the series.

Donnie Darko did a little better job with time travel stuff, but my favorite movie to deal with the subject is PRIMER. Holy crap that's an awesome movie.

Because Marty gets the almanac back and destroys it in 1955.  Therefore the wealthy Biff of 1985 never exists and nothing really changes in the 2015 future.  When Biff returned to 2015 and nothing changed, we should have know at that point that doc and Marty would be successful in getting the almanac back.

Ginsu Victim:
Yeah, Primer is definitely not for everyone, and it's hard to hear/understand a lot of what's being said, but once you've seen the whole movie, it's just a mind ---fudgesicle---.

I agree that Butterfly Effect was better than most people give it credit. Funny how that's the time travel movie Stoltz winds up in....as a kiddie perv. :lol

People might notice the lone pines vs twin pines but how many would make the connection to marty running over the pines?

I made that connection pretty quickly actually. I guess I am special. :)

How so?  The events of the original 1985 still happen and Doc and Marty still travel to 2015 to fix Marty's son's issues.


BTW, remember when biff gets out of the Delorean in 2015 and it seems like he's hurt.  He seems in pain and staggers away.  The original storyline was to have Biff killed in the "1985 Wealthy Biff" timeline and therefore when he returned to 2015 would not longer exist.  The pain he was experiencing was his fading out of existence.

The story was changed at some point but they didn't reshoot that scene....so I'm told.
