** Doc says Biff graduated from Hill Valley High School’s Class of 1955. However, since the main events of the first movie took place in ''late'' 1955 in the middle of the school year, Biff would’ve graduated seven months later in 1956. This could be explained by Doc simply having 1955 on the brain, or by the fact that Biff had to repeat a grade in school and was originally ''supposed'' to graduate in 1955.

* PrehistoricMonster: The ''Tyrannosaurus'' has more in common with Godzilla than an actual ''T. rex''. It's completely enormous, able to eat a [=DeLorean=] car in one bit, and it's incredibly ugly looking, with teeth that look like it's coming out of its skin. It also lives very close to the active volcanic areas as if it's like [[DinosaursAreDragons a dragon]], and extremely hostile to anything that moves.

In 2009, to rectify its untimely closure, Universal made the ride videos available to own, on a 2-Disc DVD of the original ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' movie. The 2010 Blu-Ray release of ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'' later included these as well. Fans who own both the Blu-Ray and a D-Box motion chair can now recreate the ride in their own homes.
