History Awesome / BackToTheFuture

** Not only does nerdy, 98-pound weakling George knock Biff (who's ''freaking huge'') out with one punch, he does so ''left-handed.'' While his right is in a very painful arm-lock. Then bonus points (and adding some Heartwarming), after he stares, awestruck, at his left hand, he offers his ''right'' hand to Lorraine as he asks if she's okay.

* Marty tries to outrun the Libyans in the [=DeLorean=] (unaware that he has accidentally activated the time circuits), and, in a burst of confidence, declares, "Let's see if you bastards can do 90!"

* Back in 1955, Goldie Wilson, the African American busboy, tries to encourage George [=McFly=] to stand up for himself, using himself as an example. He may be a busboy, but that's not ''all'' he'll be. Marty looks at him, and after a moment of being stunned (again) exclaims, "That's right, he's gonna be mayor!" Hilarious and awesome because Goldie really ''is'' going to become mayor in 30 years time. And the best part, the movie argues against a stable time loop, it was Marty's time traveling that prompts him to go into politics. He was already on his way to doing something other than working in a cafe; as he tells George, he's "going to night school" and one day he'll "be somebody", which culminated in him becoming mayor. Marty simply speeds up the process. When Goldie’s racist boss dismisses the idea, Goldie defiantly tells that he will be mayor and that he’ll clean up the town. (To which his somewhat impressed boss instructs him to start his cleaning up campaign by sweeping the floor)

He was already on his way to doing something other than working in a cafe; as he tells George, he's "going to night school" and one day he'll "be somebody". Marty simply speeds up the process.

* A small moment, but Marvin and the Starlighters sending Biff's gang running is pretty awesome. Match, Skinhead, and 3-D throw Marty in the trunk of Lorenzo's car, and when Lorenzo objects, they dismiss him as a "spook"... which causes all five Starlighters to exit the car, danger in Marvin's voice as he asks, [[TranquilFury "Who are you calling 'spook', peckerwood?"]]. [[OhCrap The bullies panic and flee]] as Lorenzo snarls, "Go home to your mama, boy!" while taking a swipe at them as three Starlighters run after them.

--->'''Jennifer:''' But�

--->'''Griff:''' I don't know how there got to be ''another'' [=McFly=]�but I hope you're ready to go out in a blaze of glory!

* ''Continuum Conundrum'' gives Jennifer Parker her largest role yet in a ''BTTF'' story, due to her and Marty being the only residents of 1986 Hill Valley to have traveled through time. She even gets to drive the [=DeLorean=] a few times, first to run Needles off the road, and again to pick up Marty ''from 2035''. The latter moment has her plow through a crowd of force field-equipped futuristic civilians in order to hit 88.
** Marty and Jennifer going full BattleCouple in that last one.

--->'''Jennifer:''' But–

** This exchange between Marty and [[spoiler:Officer]] Griff Tannen:
--->'''Griff:''' I don't know how there got to be ''another'' [=McFly=]—but I hope you're ready to go out in a blaze of glory!

** There's also his reaction to the flux capacitor itself when he sees the [=DeLorean=] for the first time; doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

** Lorraine's very own moment definitely deserves a mention as well. Biff's just tried to sexually assault her and she's terrified of him but when he starts to hurt George, she gets out of the car and starts to hit him while demanding that he leave George alone.

--->'''Marty: ''[[UpToEleven Punch it]].''

* George [=McFly=] punching Biff after delivering a perfect [[DateRapeAverted "Get your]] [[PrecisionFStrike damn]] [[DateRapeAverted hands off her!"]]: great. George [=McFly=] pushing off the redhaired kid who tried to cut in, thus saving all three of his future children, followed by Marty [[ThePowerOfRock playing "Johnny B Goode"]], [[ALittleSomethingWeCallRockAndRoll ending in a heavy metal solo]]: [[CrazyAwesome insanity]].

* After Doc works so hard to connect the cables on the clock, the bottom cable suddenly pops free -- and there's only a minute to go. Doc despairs for a moment, then gets a determined look. He reconnects the bits he has, then ''[[ImprovisedZipline loops them around the hands of the clock and slides down]]'', retrieving the other end and connecting it ''just as the lightning bolt hits''. Awesome. Let's face it, there's a reason this scene is in all three films. [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome And the clock tower doesn't just get "hit" by lightning. It practically gets NUKED.]]

--->''[Marty is on stage with the Starlighters, playing the riff for their cover of the Penguins' "Earth Angel"; Marty listens to him for a moment, then makes a "Hm, not bad" face before going to the microphone]''\\
'''Marty:''' This is for all you lovers out there. ''[begins singing]''\\

'''Marty:''' ''[still singing, but looking unsettled by the sudden decline in Marty's performance]'' Earth angel, earth angel, the one I adore...\\

''[George glances at them, but walks away; as the film's soundtrack drowns out Marty's singing, Marty looks at the photo and sees himself starting to fade out of it, then notices his own hand is becoming semi-transparent]''\\

'''George:''' ''[suddenly appears next to Dixon and Lorraine]'' Excuse me! ''[shoves Dixon in the chest so hard he falls to the floor, then, the film's main theme swelling on the soundtrack, he takes Lorraine's face in his hands and looks into her eyes; Marty's singing fades back in as George kisses Lorraine deeply]''\\
'''Marty:''' ''[singing]'' The vision of your happiness, woah-oah\\

'''Marty:''' My darling dear, love you for all time\\
