BACK TO THE FUTURE

When dealing with time travel in any movie, a lot of things can easily go wrong. Much research is needed in order to get accurate details. Whilst Back To The Future is an iconic piece of cinema, it still “sinned” when it came to the time dilemma. Remember that scene during prom where Marty performed a guitar solo? Sure, it was electrifying—but the guitar he was using shouldn’t even exist in that time period. The Gibson ES-345 wasn’t made until 1958, while the movie was set in 1955. Nevertheless, the film was so successful it made more than double the investment money.

In the third installation of the film, we can see Clara wear rather revealing clothes, which today’s standards are modes. Nonetheless, no school teacher of that era would wear that kind of clothing. Another factual error happened when the flag of California was seen in the background. There should be no problem with it, only that the flag was not made official until 1911 when the scene was supposed to be set in 1885.
