Back To The Future: 10 Giant Plot Holes You Probably Missed

1. Marty's Hand

Neeldes At the end of the first movie, Marty opens his garage to find the truck he has coveted just a week prior in the original timeline. After he uses that car to pick up Jennifer once he returns from 1885, he runs into Needles who baits him into a race by calling Marty "chicken," (a character flaw that was not present in the first film). We learned in BTTF 2 that Marty stopped playing the guitar when he hurt his hand in this very accident. Fortunately, Marty has learned a lesson about pride from his journey so the race does not happen and he does not hit the Rolls Royce. This raises the question: in the original time line how would Marty have been racing Needles if a) he was not picking up Jennifer and b) did not have the truck? Throughout the entire movie, Marty's life is somehow still the same in many elements even after he changes it. Do you have answers that Back To The Future didn't quite answer? Share them below in the comments.
