5 Futuristic Movie Toys We Want Now
2. Mattel Hover Board. Back to the Future Part 2
Who didn't want one of these after seeing Back to the Future part 2? And you can forget your fancy, able to hover on water boards too. Martys will do just fine. I don't know what it is about that specific board which is so iconic, but I want it bad.
The simplicity of the foot holder, the clashing pink and greens sure, this started off as a little girl's hover scooter, but I wouldn't want it any other way. There is something I have always loved about the 1980s visions of the future, and the style of this Hoverboard represents all the campy, outdated greatness of what the 1980s thought 2015 would be like.
Though I love all the gadgets reality has created for us in the millennium, if in 3 years time the world looks exactly like it does in this very cheesy, but wonderful vision of the future, I honestly wouldn't care. Even if we had to give up our precious, precious iPhones.
Sure, even if these did exist they wouldn't benefit our lives all that much: they can't go anywhere near as fast as a motorbike or a car and are in fact kind of slow and foot powered (unless of course pulled along by a steam train) and in reality if you suck at using a skateboard you'd probably be no better on a hover board either (and boy do I suck). But despite all of that, they are still one of the most wanted futuristic gadgets from the whole of film history.
