Do you guys think the tropes from the entire BTTF franchise ought to be moved to the Franchise page, and the tropes from the first film should stay here?
Is it worth starting individual pages for each BTTF film, because each film has so many tropes?
I was taken aback by this item:
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: Doc's mildly racist comments about Japanese technology, as well as cowboys saying Marty looks like a dead Chinese, make sense seeing as it's 1955 and 1885.
Mildly racist? Uh, no. It is a historical fact that in the 1950s, "made in Japan" was synonymous with "cheap and shoddy" in much the same way that Korea was in the '80s, Malaysia in the '90s, and China today. This has nothing whatsoever to do with race, and everything to do with the way an emerging nation's manufacturing industry evolves, starting with the easy stuff (simple toys and other molded plastic goods) and working its way up to high-quality electronics. Remember that in 1955, Japan had only had ten years to rebuild its infrastructure after World War Two.
Labeling the 1885 cowboys as racist is reasonable. Applying the same label to Doc Brown is completely unjustified. Unless someone objects, I'm going to delete it.

... Who the heck replaced every instance of the word "death" in the article with "forever sleep"?

icarryyourheart, two days ago. Is there a reference of some kind regarding forever sleeping in this movie?
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
No. It looks like they were using some sort of very odd wordfilter. I've seen it happen before where someone has a profanity filter on their browser and when they edit a page it blanks every such word, but I've never seen this happen.
Since Main.Back To The Future is now a redirect for Film.Back To The Future, should we make seperate page for VideoGame.Back To The Future?

Does anyone know why in the credits of the movie they have the "Johnny B. Goode" song as performed by Marty Mc Fly with the Starlighters? Neither of them are real and the actual song was not even recorded for the movie by Michael J. Fox. Mark Campbell was who actually performed it in real life and he is obviously not Marty Mc Fly in any way other than the character lip singing it in the scene? lol
