*** Marty tracks down Biff and the sports almanac at the dance in 1955. He remembers that George is about to knock out Biff with one punch, and sure enough, it happens. Marty waits until George, Lorraine, and his Part I self are gone, and steps into the crowd surrounding Biff.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Marty to tell the crowd that Biff stole his sports almanac, which everyone would believe since Biff is the school bully. The crowd would subdue Biff, check his jacket pocket, give Marty the almanac, and send Biff looking for Marty in the other direction. Marty and Doc would then have enough time to burn the almanac and get back to 1985 before the thunderstorm hits Hill Valley.\\
'''Instead:''' Marty reassures the crowd that he knows CPR (which didn't exist in 1955), then punches the semi-conscious Biff and straight-up jacks the almanac. One guy thinks that Marty took Biff's wallet and tells him where Marty ran.\\

It would be better to get rid of the Almanac as soon as possible to minimize any changes to the timeline. They know where Biff was on that day so they can follow him. Any other day they wouldn't know where he is. Plus we see that Biff takes his first serious look at the Almanac after the dance. Since old Biff told him to get a safe, he would be more protective of it later on.

Unless guy EXPECTED Marty to wear that bulletproof thing he had no reason to shot in the head, as shot in torso is easier and just as lethal if you hit. Bulletproof vests as far as i know weren\'t a thing in 1885, so it\'s not unreasonable that guy didn\'t expect it.

*** Earlier, after Marty tells Doc that he got the sports almanac via radio, Doc then gets in the DeLorean and takes off. As he takes off, he accidentally hits the switch that turns on the time circuits, setting it for 1885.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Doc to notice the time circuits being on and turn them off. He must've felt hitting them, after all!\\
'''Instead''': Doc ''never'' notices the time circuits being on, or remembers even hitting the switch that activates it, leading to the bellow moment.
*** Also in Part II, after getting the almanac back, Doc and Marty go back to the starting area to burn the almanac and set things right. The lightning storm approaches, and Doc mentions that he'll need to take a special approach to land in the heavy winds.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Doc to attempt to make that approach and land the [=DeLorean=] after setting Marty down, especially since there's lightning everywhere.\\
'''Instead''': He doesn't bother to even try and land the [=DeLorean=], and wouldn't you know it, the [=DeLorean=] (with Doc inside) gets struck by lightning when the storm approaches, sending him back all the way to 1885, where he eventually gets shot by Buford Tannen (aka "Mad Dog"), Biff's ancestor.
** ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'':
*** During the Evening Festival, Buford goes to murder Doc, but is required to hand over his weapons to Marshall Strickland and the deputy.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Them to also ask to check for any hidden weapons in Buford and his gang's hats. Even in 1885, you'd have to be GenreBlind to not check for any hidden weapons in clothing or hats (imagine that!).\\
'''Instead''': They don't bother checking if he hid anything in his hat, and let him pass. Unfortunately, he hid a small pistol and nearly suceeds in shooting Doc (which if it happened, he'd die from the wound in 2 days on Monday) if Marty hadn't thrown a frisbee pie platter and caused Mad Dog to only hit Doc's hat.
*** Doc realizes that he can't remain in 1885, so he goes to tell his LoveInterest Clara that he will be leaving town, and she'll never see him again. She presses him for a reason why.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Doc to take her to the time machine and show her that he's from the future, or show her some future tech (like the hoverboard). She's smart and progressive for her time and would probably understand. Heck, she was originally supposed to die in the original timeline anyway (as the ravine was named after her in the original timeline after her wagon plummeted), so why not take her back to 1985 with them?\\
'''Instead:''' Doc decides that he doesn't want to further alter the timeline, despite the fact that he had already saved Clara's life. The lovesick Doc tells Clara the truth with no evidence, and she naturally assumes he's lying and tearfully tells him to get lost. Brokenhearted, he lollygags around the saloon and passes out at an inopportune time. The delay nearly costs him and Marty their lives, and nearly costs Clara hers when she finds out that Doc wasn't lying.
*** The next day, after Buford Tannen takes advantage of the delay and holds Doc hostage, as Marty said they would have their duel at 8 AM, 2 days earlier, Marty steps out to confront him. When Buford says "Draw.", Marty immedialely refuses, and puts the gun holster holding a Colt Peacemaker down on the ground he tells him, "I thought we could settle this like men!", but Buford replies saying, "You thought wrong, dude.", and pulls out his pistol.\\
'''You'd Think''': Buford would shoot Marty in the head, definitely killing him instantly. He then can murder Doc, TheBadGuyWins, [[DownerEnding The End]].\\
'''Instead:''' He shoots Marty in the chest, but it turns out, as Buford walks up to his body, that Marty faked it, as he was using a stove door as a bulletproof vest, as Tannen finds out the hard way when he tries punching him in the area, only to hurt his hand.\\
'''The Result:''' Tannen gets ''[[CurbStompBattle curb stomped]]'' by Marty and he falls into a wagon of manure. He ends up being arrested by the deputy for robbing the Pine City Stage the day before.
