History Script / NumberTwo

** Marty pretends to be "meditating" with a chant of "[[Film/StarWars Oh-bee-wahn-ken-oh-bee]]", and later leads a crowd of hippies in a "meditative chant" consisting of the words "Subaru," "Mazda," and "Celica."

** Marty later leads a crowd of hippies in a "meditative chant" consisting of the words "Subaru," "Mazda," and "Celica."

* TheSixties

* ClockTowerFinale: Essentially the same as the first movie. Mr. Fusion is destroyed (thanks to Peabody shooting it), so 1967 Doc has rigged a power grid surge at a certain moment in order to provide the 1.21 gigawatts. All Marty and 1985 Doc have to do is fly the [=DeLorean=] through some power lines at the precise moment.

* {{Homage}}: Marty and 1985!Doc ride a Harley while "[[StandardSnippet Born to Be Wild]]" plays, a homage to ''Film/EasyRider''.

* MeaningfulName: Marty's middle name is revealed to be "Hopkins", after the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco, where George and Lorraine spent their 1967 anniversary weekend.

* NothingButHits: PLENTY of this in the '67 scenes. "White Rabbit" by Music/JeffersonAirplane is selected for a scene in the hippie pad, "Born to be Wild" is used when Marty and Doc ride a Harley down the highway, and "When I'm Sixty-Four" by Music/TheBeatles plays over the end credits. ([[Film/ForrestGump Another Zemeckis film]] would later make use of this trope in its fullest glory.)

* CallBack: At the end of the script, Marty and Jennifer are [[AlmostKiss about to kiss]] when they were interrupted. After the interruption, Marty asks, "Now, where were we?" Jennifer answers, "Right about here." They then get interrupted again when they almost kiss.

* TheCameo: Huey Lewis and the News, when Marty first escapes from Griff and his gang.

* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: Marty's alias this time around is "Marty [=DeLorean=]".

Fans of ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' know that the basic plotline of ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'' was about Marty [=McFly=] and Doc Brown finding themselves in an alternate present ruled by Biff Tannen, and going to the year [[TheFifties 1955]] (where the events of the original movie took place) to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. But did you know that they were originally ''not'' going to 1955, but [[TheSixties 1967]]?

!This script provides examples of:

** The band at the hippie rally, Blue Nirvana, is an indirect Call Back to the Starliters from the first movie, inasmuch as both bands play NothingButHits.

* ClockTowerFinale: Essentially the same as the first movie. Mr. Fusion is destroyed (thanks to Peabody shooting it), so 1967!Doc has rigged a power grid surge at a certain moment in order to provide the 1.21 jigowatts. All Marty and 1985!Doc have to do is fly the [=DeLorean=] through some power lines at the precise moment.

* OneSceneWonder: George [=McFly=] is dead in 2015, and in 1967 he doesn't show up until after Marty's speech at the Anti-War rally.

** Later on, it's subverted: Marty is forced to throw the almanac out of the [=DeLorean=] to reduce the excess weight, whereupon [[spoiler:it's discovered by Otis Peabody, who is camping out nearby. Peabody promptly burns it as useless garbage.]]

* TimelineAlteringMacGuffin: The former TropeNamer Gray's Sports Almanac appears in this script. Surprisingly, in this version, it takes Marty ''very'' little time to retrieve the book in the third act, and 1985-A fades away from a matchbook almost as soon as the almanac is back in Marty's possession (he doesn't even have to burn the book or anything).

* PeekABoo: Done with Old Jennifer's face, until she finishes her speech.
