There are also lots of non-verbal funny moments that I love.
1. The Doc's face as he looks at Marty when Lorraine follows him to Doc's garage!
If looks could kill. So funny! That gets a big laugh in cinemas too.
2. Also when Marty is in the space suit and Doc puts the plutonium in the car. It gets sucked down quick and Marty jumps back in fear! (subtle visual gag that one).
3. Marty falls over backwards in the barn when he arrives in 1955. Superb slapstick acting from MJF.
4. Marty falls over in his purple underwear!
5. When Doc is demonstrating that the Delorean is a time machine, he revs up the engine, using a remote control. Marty is scared, so he steps further away from Doc. Then Doc gives him a look as if he is really offended that Marty stepped away!
6. When Doc sticks the suction cap on Marty's forehead. This is doubly funny as it's straight after he takes it off his dog (How could the dog tell the Doc if he can correctly mindread?!!! And the dog's fur would not allow suction anyway!)
Plus too many more to mention. My all time fave movie / trilogy.
Me too. He was a legend. :(
That's right @muchmeow, and he also got strangled for real, making BTTF III.
When he is hauled up by the rope round the neck (and Doc shoots the rope, setting him free), he was accidentally left hanging longer than he should, and he blacked out. Pretty sure that can't have done his brain much good. Asphyxiation can cause permanent brain damage.
