Back To The Future: 10 Giant Plot Holes You Probably Missed
7. Biff The Rapist
Is it just me or was there a lot of borderline rape in BTTF? Let's forget the Oedipal implications of Lorraine seducing her son in 1985 and focus on the fact that Biff all but raped her in the parking lot when he foiled Marty's attempt to make George look like a hero. Fortunately George rises to the occasion and knocks Biff out cold, and as a direct result of this, we later find Biff in 1985 to be a passive flunky of the McFly family, doing chores and running errands. Now, I'm all for reforming criminals, but I personally make it a policy not to hire rapists to work for me and potentially be alone with any member of my family at any given time, especially someone they had previously tried to rape. Why would George subject his family to a violent bully that brought him nothing but pain? This never sat well with me, but I hate bullies.
