iMaster 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 mMaybe then it DID go too late? Look, Doc said that it will be POSSIBLE to rebuilt the Time Circuit using 1955 Radio parts. But knowing Doc, everything could go horribly wrong, but instead it just went wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daangelo29 5 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Kind of no. Cause no one had suits on. Do they need to wear suits for Sunday mass back then? mMaybe then it DID go too late? Look, Doc said that it will be POSSIBLE to rebuilt the Time Circuit using 1955 Radio parts. But knowing Doc, everything could go horribly wrong, but instead it just went wrong. More like fixing it instead of rebuilding the whole thing. Yes, with Doc, anything could go wrong, except of if he follows instructions. The future Doc after all knows his own DeLorean better than his younger 1955 counterpart. I'll look onto this myself, hopefully I would be able to explain it myself. It is possible that the DeLorean might have sent Marty at a later time in 1885, but if it is true wouldn't Marty also travel back to 1985 in a later time, too? Marty got to 1985 in the right date and time as set in the time circuits, as far as I can remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RG 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 I doubt that Doc cared about anything more than getting Marty to 1985/1885 at that moment. So he probably checked all wiring 50 times and then 50 more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iMaster 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Look, the DeLorean was driving across a field of dirt. Surely something loosened up, so far only Toyota came up with a way of fighting that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RG 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Why do you think it kaboom'd back in 1985 not in the time set? Usually, there are at least 4+ cars waiting for the train to pass by Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iMaster 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Not dirt as such, but the gravel. Remember - DeLorean is a highwaymobile. Or something could get clogged. What I am saying is there are so many variables - you can't keep up with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OoiueBTTF 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 well, here is what i think: 1. the del could have picked up some 'dirt'or 'gravel' from its journey to 1955 2. upgrading the del made the TC malfunction 3. your forgetting that only the micro-processor in the TC failed when it was struck, not the time circuits themselves, and the micro-processor was rebuilt as a macro-processor by 1955 doc 4. the TC AM and PM were reversed when the upgrade happened, and the malfuntion sent doc back to 1885 when he accidently activated them 5. the TC were still malfuntioning when the M-P was replaced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knight Bob 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 I dont know if you already did see it, but in the first part, the libian chase, marty uses the gear shift to activate the TC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RG 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 No, he doesn't. He accidently pushes TC switch several times when shifting gears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BTTF Forever 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) i thought Marty only hits the TC switch once? oh well, doc does it too!, in the second movie, crashes into sign, Dam!, shifts gear, hits time circuit switch, LED's blink JAN 01 1885 12:00 AM or PM (cant remember) as if you wouldn't here the time circuits turning on! EDIT: actually i think Marty hits the time circuit switch 3 times, the first time its obvious, the second time you just here it when he changes gears, you dont get to see it, and the third time "Let's see if you b*****ds can do 90!", changes gear, speeds off! best quote ever!

RG 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah; 'Lets see if you b*****ds can do 90!" *Shifts into (probably) 5th gear* *BooM* He turned it on and off for 2 times in the Lybian chase scene as far as I remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) He puts it in fourth. The fifth gear isn't meant for acceleration, it's used for maintaining the same speed. Edited January 21, 2010 by Joe Statler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
