BTTF car discrepancies

[EdR5150]

Could be. Although I feel like I once investigated this and found it was true. Can't remember though and too lazy to look into it.

I also couldn't find anything about a cameraman being killed in the Bullitt chase scene. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_accidents

Plus, at 2:53 you can clearly see the Charger crash, also killing a cameraman.

I kinda laughed when I first saw that scene in the movie. I was like "oh, he crashed.... nope he's still going."

Wow this thread has some pretty good info here! Never noticed all the little things wrong with the fiberglass cars, except for the one in the beginning when it's landing. Like not having the vents go all the way down, not having the black center caps on the tires, the wrong kind of headliner, etc...

Sort of related but the thing I always spot in movies are skid marks on the pavement before the car shows up, from practice runs of the stunt. If I recall correctly (finally some BTTF content here) the scene outside the subdivision in 1955 where he screeches to a halt in front of the sign has some of this.

The other one in movies that drives me nuts is chase scenes that are shot out of sequence so that crash damage comes and goes after it's all spliced together.

Yeah I always find this amusing as well. Every time I see skid marks I always think to myself, yep they've done that scene a few times already. lol Every time I watch the original 1981 Halloween II, near the end of the movie the cop pulls a U turn and I always notice those darn skid marks. lol

ever seen this weird kid at the ending of BTTF3 making those hand gestures??


Anybody have that movie to check if it actually happening or if this is a spoof?

(yeah sorry I am not that much of a crazy BTTF fan, especially No3)

Yes, this is actual movie footage. This kid really did do these gestures. I've never seen an explanation for it with any merit though. Most kids do strange things when they are young. This kid might have just been on the far end of the scale (and happened to do it when someone was filming). Definitely bizarre and good fuel for some Internet buzz.

There's so many things this reminds me of. The guy from the Matrix having 9/11 as a date on his driver's license, the suspicious footage in the Wizard of Oz, and so on and so forth. When people see small things like this, sometimes they take off and run with it. He's a kid from 1885. Maybe that was his way of saying "come here, I have to pee and I'll need a new diaper"

I read somewhere that this was the 'sign' the little boy had to made to the crew if he needed to pee. He didn't want to disturbe the scene Michael and Christopher were doing and somehow his 'sign' ended up in the final edit ...

ahhhh
That is what his funny face was, trying to hold it

The story I heard was that the director was giving hand signals to the boys to direct their attention and the boy was mimicking him.

Mimicking him by pointing his penis???
That makes the kid pure perverse!
