      It can never be remade as long as the director and writer (I think those two) are alive. Basically part of their contract that it cannot be remade without their approval and they said it will be over their dead bodies.
      That being said there are games, including a TellTale adventure game, that act as a spiritual sequel to the movies that cover a lot of the same ground that is in the movies.

    "No wonder your president has to be an actor. He's got to look good on television."
    Joking aside. One needs to remember that in 1955, television was still a new medium. Harry Truman had been the first president to make ocassional televised speeches, and even have his inaugural address covered by TV stations. His successor, Dwight Eisenhower slowly inched things further with more TV addresses, but it was really five years after 1955, when the JFK era really ushered in the age of television being essential to a politician's career.

      Still, it seems a bit odd to find the notion of a famous actor becoming president an odd one, considering they at that very moment had a sitting president elected on his public fame as Supreme Allied Commander in WW2. Fame is fame...

      @@BDNeon I disagree that fame is fame. It is common now for people to run for office when their only qualification is being famous (Jesse Ventura, Steve Garvey). But it was unusual in the 1950s. Being Supreme Allied Commander involved a lot of strategic thinking, cooperation and leadership. Acting provides name recognition and some powers of communication but little else. Reagan did have experience as governor of California, but Doc wouldn't know about that (yet).

    A gigawatt is equal to one billion watts, and most of us are familiar with a watt. The light bulbs in our homes are typically between 60 and 100 watts. So 1.21 gigawatts would power more than 10 million light bulbs or one fictional flux capacitor in a time-traveling DeLorean.

      So I don’t know if my calculations are correct but an average family home consumes about 33000 watt-hours every day, and watt-hours is watts*hours, so 33000/24 = 1375 watts every day? I think?
      Using that, 1.21 gigawatts can power 880,000 family homes for one day

    Fun fact: in 1955, there actually was a power source capable of generating >1.21 GW of electricity, and it wasn't even that far away. The Grand Coulee Dam in Washing State had a nameplate capacity of 2.28 GW starting in 1949. However... there's no way they could convince the authorities to just *give* them that much power, even for a little while, since that would cause a blackout and mess up the grid in the region (and they'd laugh the idea of a time machine out of the room, and then a Federal agent would show up to confiscate the car for ARPA, the predecessor to DARPA).
    And there'd be no hope of assembling enough money to purchase that much and all the equipment necessary to then channel it to the car. The dam generates its energy with a series of turbines, so the moment their transmission lines started to blow out, the electricity would disperse, causing their plan to fail. With the lightning strike, it's going to more or less keep going roughly where they channel it, and presumably once they get it into the time machine's systems, it can convert the energy into time travel instead of heat, avoiding the issue.

Normally, when you hear of the original casting choices with some films, you think: "Nah, I'm glad they eventually ended up with actor XYZ instead, I can't imagine anyone else playing that role." However, I don't think John Lithgow would have been a bad shout at all. I could definitely see him injecting some animated zaniness and charm but Christopher Lloyd did a brilliant job in the end as we all know.

    It’s wild that they shot this scene with Eric Stolts. And then WENT BACK and shot it again with Michael J Fox. The series deals with changing things, back in time, and different people taking roles. And then that’s EXACTLY what they did with the lead character. And he was ERASED from the film’s timeline. It couldn’t be more perfect if they tried.

      There was an easier solution that they might’ve thought of if Bill & Ted had come out first.
      1955 Doc Brown was, for lack of a better word, destined to build the time machine in 30 years. That version of him would now know about Marty’s predicament. So 1985 Doc could have theoretically hidden a Plutonium rod in a small lead box somewhere inside the car for the 1955 version of himself to find.
