Back to the Future Part 2

• The inspiration for the film largely stems from Bob Gale (wrote the screenplay) discovering his father's high school yearbook and wondering whether he would have been friends with his father as a teenager. Gale also said that if he had the chance to go back in time he would really go back and see if they would have been friends.
• Christopher Lloyd originally turned down the role of Doc Brown, but changed his mind after his wife convinced him to take the role.
• John Lithgow, Dudley Moore, James Woods, and Jeff Goldblum were all considered for the role of Doc Brown.
• When Thomas F. Wilson (Biff) is asked about Back to the Future by enthusiastic fans, he will often hand them a postcard of frequently asked questions as a timesaver.
• Tim Robbins was considered for the role of Biff Tannen.
• Biff Tannen is named in homage to Ned Tanen, one-time head of Universal, who threwBob Gale and Robert Zemeckis's script for I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) on the floor in a heated meeting, accusing it of being anti-Semitic. Despite the fact that Bob Gale is Jewish.
• A deleted scene shows Marty peeking in on a class in 1955 and seeing his mother cheating on a test.
• Johnny Depp auditioned for the role of Marty McFly. C. Thomas Howell and John Cusack were considered to play the role of Marty McFly.
• The main setting, 1955, is the year that Albert Einstein, the dog's namesake, died.
• Michael J. Fox is only ten days younger than Lea Thompson who plays his mother, and is almost three years older than his on-screen dad, Crispin Glover.
• Billy Zane makes his first on-screen appearance in this film as "Match", one of Biff's cronies.
• The set for Kingston Falls in Gremlins (1984) is the same one used for Back to the Future (1985).
