9 Movie Bloopers You Didn’t Spot In The Final Cut

To many fans, the Hoverboards are the coolest thing about Back to the Future Part II, but stuntwoman Cheryl Wheeler-Dixon probably won't agree with them on that. She was almost killed when a set piece involving them went wrong, and you can catch a brief glimpse of the blunder in the final cut.

In the scene where future Biff and his gang of walking fashion disasters chase Marty on their boards and end up ploughing through the front glass of the clock tower, not all of them come out on the other side.

Wheeler-Dixon's character collides with a pillar outside and drops 30 feet to the ground. The impact can be seen in the final cut for a split second, but the camera cuts away to the interior of the building to spare viewers the terrible, real-life aftermath.

Thankfully the stuntwoman survived the incident, but she sustained serious injuries.
