10 Ways Back To The Future Would Look Completely Different In 2015

As Marty settles into his 1950s surroundings he begins to work a few things out for himself. Having unwittingly prevented his parents from falling in love he's now in real danger of not being born (first world problem); he must pull out a genius move to get things back on track, so... 

In the middle of the night Marty slips a futuristic-looking device (Walkman and headphones) over his Dad's sleeping head only to wake him up seconds later with a blast of Eddie Van Halen's ear-bleeding Out The Window. 

Dressed in full radiation safety gear Darth Vader (an extra-terrestrial from the planet Vulcan) kindly informs George that if he doesn't take Lorraine out he'll melt his brain.

These cultural references were red hot back in 1985 which made this short scene hilarious for anyone watching at that the time which means they'd lose their alien appeal, meaning a modern adaptation of Back To The Future would need to tap right into the heart of today.

Picking a 21st century sci-fi villain leads to a lot of dead-ends. Darth Vader died in 1983 and Arnold Schwarzenegger was already The Terminator while many Marvel and DC characters now on the big-screen had already rocked up in comic books. 

To keep the reference truly fresh it's hard to look past Marty McFly posing as Harry Potter's nemesis Lord Voldemort, sent from the planet Keplar 452-b.
