** Surprisingly dark and frightening, given the overall light, comedic tone of the rest of the movie. And poor Lorraine, with the only person to save her the perennial wimp George, who (as the earlier scene in the cafe, when Marty gets George to talk to her about "density" shows) she wasn't even really aware of until a day or so ago. George could just as easily have caved to Biff, closed the car door, walked away, and left Lorraine to be raped. Which makes George standing up to Biff all the more epic, and turns "No, Biff. You leave her alone," into one of the greatest SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome PreAsskickingOneLiner ever. And adding extra octane to the Nightmare Fuel, the whole reason Lorraine is in that situation is because of Marty! Marty antagonized Biff and took Lorraine to the dance, where Biff found them both and drunkenly decided to get revenge. If Lorraine had gone with George as originally intended, Biff might not even have seen them!
* Marty watching Doc Brown get shot. Twice. He's ''seventeen'' and he watches his best friend get shot. Then he tries to prevent it, and arrives just in time to watch him get shot AGAIN, and feel like there's nothing, ever, he can do about it.

* The idea that he might fade away for real when the Lone Pines timeline reasserts itself is ''literal'' nightmare fuel for Marty, who [[NightmareSequence dreams]] that Lone Pines Marty comes back to watch it happen. Worse, Doc takes his side, with a dialogue authentic enough to easily serve as the ''happy'' ending of a story about Lone Pines Marty. There's something uniquely chilling about getting a first-person perspective on the stock [[CloningBlues evil clone]] scenario—particularly since Lone Pines Marty is as conscience-stricken as you'd expect [[NiceGuy the Marty we know]] to be in the same situation.
