Back to the future 2 was wrong

I'm looking at back to the future 2 right now, and unless they invent hover boards and flying cars in the next five years they were way off.

Sheeps · 22-12-2009 4:43pm

No way...

Soby · 22-12-2009 4:43pm

the fact that a time machine wasnt invented in 1985 didnt throw you?

Ruu_Old · 22-12-2009 4:46pm

Any respect I may have had for you before seeing this post is gone, good day to you sir! /glove slap.

fh041205 · 22-12-2009 4:47pm

They were right about at least one thing though...............That shark still isn't scary

Archeron · 22-12-2009 4:48pm

I have a flying car and a hover board...

No wait, its a Hyundai and an ironing board.

Close though.

sky88 · 22-12-2009 4:49pm

And that they got a DeLorean up to 88mph?

No the Doc and Marty changed the future, the movie ruined hover boards by using a girly pink one and now nobody wants them anymore.

Sir Gallagher · 22-12-2009 4:59pm

In BTTF1 did Chuck Berry plagiarise himself or Marty McFly? Still stumps me this very day!

AnonoBoy · 22-12-2009 5:00pm

Great Scott you're right!

CrazyRabbit · 22-12-2009 5:14pm

Not quite the same technology, but...

So you have been to 5 years in future to check they haven't been invented ?

We might be on course for the 3D shark but we'll probably have to wear 3d glasses.

TheRedBaron · 22-12-2009 5:23pm

Maybe all these things have been invented. I believe the space time continuim has been disrupted and we are living in an evil parallel 2009. Its my firm belief that Michael O'Leary has a 737 time machine, and he went back to sometime around 1985 and the rest is history.

baalthor · 22-12-2009 5:28pm

They have just over a week to invent all the stuff for 2010: Odyssey 2

Seloth · 22-12-2009 5:31pm

Your wrong,I have a stash of all this stuff...just you wait

Rented Mule · 22-12-2009 5:33pm

I'm still laughing at the prediction of the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series !!

Wazdakka · 22-12-2009 5:45pm

I'm working on it damnit...
The last prototype was involved in an "incident" a few years ago.

I still can't believe the yanks bought that Al Qaeda excuse I gave them.

allanb49 · 22-12-2009 6:18pm

Flat screen tvs where in bttf2 so he got some stuff right

Seloth · 22-12-2009 6:27pm

When they've finished building all of the space hardware in 2001, I'm sure they'll catch up by 3010.

Because of course that was the most improbable part of that Movie.

Good point, virtually no sci fi writers saw the death of crt coming

Does everything on 2010: Odyssey 2 take place in the first week of January ?

dr.bollocko · 22-12-2009 7:26pm

If I take out my 3g modem, get this laptop in the car and accelerate up to 88 mph will this thread disappear into the past or the distant future?
Here's hoping.

22-12-2009 7:37pm

Am I the only one to note the irony of this argument on the internet?

mukki · 22-12-2009 7:48pm

when i was in primary school 1988 ish, one of the lads in my class had a cousin who lived in "america", and he had a hoverboard

he was telling me it used helium

Agent J · 22-12-2009 8:10pm

I don't remember the internet being in Back to The Future 2....

A Mr. Fusion would be more useful. Also a self drying jacket and second-accurate weather prediction! Didnt nike release the shoes a few months back?

The speedo actually only read to 85mph due to some stupid government law at the time.though it did over 100mph!

*giggles* · 22-12-2009 10:41pm

But it's Marty McFly:(

Whatever about BTTF and 2001, the big question is whether Orwell was right and it's just taken us 25 years to notice....

yeah kids say all sorts of crap!

I love that trilogy,especially the first one!

py2006 · 22-12-2009 10:53pm

Wow, this is heavy!

Dudess · 22-12-2009 10:55pm

Of course Orwell was right: we have to control even our facial expressions in case one of the many cameras picks up something that could be construed as a slight against the one-party dictatorship controlling a third of the planet; even our thoughts have to be controlled while scientists work on a way of actually reading them; love/affection is not allowed between individuals - devotion can only be to the party; sex must not be pleasurable - it is only for pro-creational purposes, and scientists are currently working on destroying the orgasm (I was a member of the Junior Anti Sex League when I was younger); history is constantly being rewritten; we live in unspeakable squalour; if we commit a crime (e.g. being suspected of thinking anti government thoughts) we are subjected to the most horrific torture imaginable and have our minds reprogrammed, then we are airbrushed from history.

I could go on - but yes, definitely, we're living in the nightmarish world Orwell envisioned.

Back to BTTF 2 - yes, I take issue with Café 80s. That's more of a past five years thing - 90s nostalgia will be where it's at in 2015.

I tried to make a hoover car, but it all went wrong............and now i need to buy a new vacuum.
