The iconic orange puffer vest worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future was only added after Michael J. Fox was hired to replace Eric Stoltz after filming had already begun, producer and co-writer Bob Gale exclusively revealed to SYFY Wire.
Back to the Future co-writer Bob Gale provided his own personal copy of the original shooting script for a new book on the time travel touchstone. SYFY Wire exclusively spoke with Gale about what fans can expect from the release, which offers a unique look at how a film is made—warts and all.
Four decades after it drove into theaters at 88 miles per hour, Back to the Future remains the gold time travel movie standard by which all others are measured.
Bob Gale, who created Back to the Future with Robert Zemeckis, would enact two changes to the 1985 original that would allow it to jive a little better with the two sequels.
You probably know the paradox about "Johnny B. Goode," but did you know the guitar Back to the Future's Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) uses to play the song is also out of time?
