Back to the Future: Marty McFly parents PLOT HOLE finally solved by screenwriter

Back to the Future is often considered a perfect movie by film fans, with the script even being studied as an example at universities. Nevertheless, plot holes have occasionally been brought up. Most recently Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn tweeted that he thought he found one.

Gunn wrote: “Back to the Future SEEMINGLY could be imperfect (why don’t Mom and Dad remember Marty?).

“I would still argue it’s a perfect film because there are reasons why this could conceivably be the case (time protects itself from unravelling, etc).

“Or maybe I’m in denial. Who knows.”

Guardians star Chris Pratt replied: “Maybe they do remember him tho, not as Marty, as Calvin.”

Gale added: “So Lorraine and George might think it funny that they once actually met someone named Calvin Klein, and even if they thought their son at age 16 or 17 had some resemblance to him, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

“I’d bet most of us could look thru our high school yearbooks and find photos of our teen-aged classmates that bear some resemblance to our children.”

Gale was involved in the new production of Back to the Future the musical, which opened in Manchester back in February.

However, the pandemic has seen the run shut down much earlier than expected.
