Retro Geek: Back to the Future, DeLorean stories

Talking Back to the Future could be done forever. Surely and like many of you, is a very special part of my life. Maybe it was the first movie that really made me start to dream and imagine what it would return to the past or go ahead and get to the future before anyone else. Likewise, there are so many stories, so many scenes and moments that left the work of Robert Zemeckis that I focus on one element, perhaps the key element, the famous and spectacular car that travel time: DeLorean , to be exact the DMC-12 , whose replica is part of the history of cinema.

A year ago was the 25th anniversary of the first voyage in time through the De Lorean. An epic trilogy for many of us starting with a first party whose synopsis reads as follows:

The teenager Marty McFly is a friend of Doc, a scientist at all mad. When Doc creates a machine to travel back in time, a fortuitous error makes Marty gets to 1955, the year in which his future parents were not yet known. After prevent their first meeting, will get to meet and marry, otherwise its existence would not be possible.

That machine to travel in time, even today when I see it, remains for a server object of desire, I do not know if it's devotion to the film or whether or not the car I would have liked out of the film, but more than once I tried to find out how and how much money you could get a replica of it, a perfect tool for traveling through time, and time, precisely, has left us a thousand and one stories about this wonderful film:

• In real life, the name, against and is usually written, is separated (De Lorean). This is demonstrated by documents DeLorean Motor Company and the same sheet of stickers.
• Its manufacture was between 1981 and 1982 by the De Lorean Motor Company factory. The DMC-12 was the only car manufactured and characterized by their back doors in the wing and its metal body.
• After two years of manufacturing, the company went bankrupt following the arrest of John DeLorean on drug trafficking.
• It is estimated that in those two years, built some 8,500 models, this fact and the trilogy itself, this sports car turned into a cult object, both for collectors and fans of the film, currently reaching astronomical figures if compare the price of its release in the decade of the 80 (about $ 12,000).
• On 22 December last year was released the game Back To The Future, The Game (Mac and PC), a sequel of the trilogy will consist of five parts. In iOS there an app to have the circuit of time The DeLorean also made ​​its appearance in the game GTA San Andreas by a trick (Dirty Mod):

• At first, the first drafts of the film located at the time machine and a fridge coca-cola as an element that made ​​it possible to travel. Eventually modified to lack of mobility and the danger that could lead children to get into the fridge for time travel.
• These drafts were changed in the last minute enrollment, NOTIME to OUTATIME.
• During the film were used up to seven replicas of the DMC-12.
• Last year we auctioned off a replica of the Delorean from the film owned by Bob Gale, the producer of the film, through the Profiles house worth 80,000 and $ 100,000.
• There is an official website to build your own custom DeLorean (without capacitor Fluzo, of course).
• In May last year was found in a forest in the United States abandoned a DeLorean. This was the state it was:

• And this was the first ad that had the DMC-12:

• On October 26, 2010, at 1:05 AM the 25th anniversary of the first time travel. Doc's dog, Einstein, was the passenger.
• How much force you need the Delorean to travel back in time? The answer is given by Google .
• Fluzo capacitor DeLorean DMC-12 is just a translation error in translating the Spanish dubbing since its original release flux capacitor, confusing and flux capacitor.
• The DeLorean is "multiplied" in the same temporal space. In 1955 there are up to 4 (which takes Marty to 1985, which is hidden in the mine since 1885, leading to the 1985 Doc and Marty alternative that Biff takes back to 2015).
• A translation error (or so it seems) by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis in writing of the dialogue ends with a translation as "curious." For the DeLorean time travel requires a shock 1 "Jigowatt."

Appearances

Over the years there have been many occurrences that have had the car and the legendary scenes from the movie. From the Simpsons to a bar in Chicago, these are some of the sites where we showed the DeLorean in all its glory:

Beastie Boys The same model used for the next revision of the legendary video-clip Fight For Your Right on the new album :

Merchandising

Why not, after the film has been a campaign of merchandising. Photos, dolls, miniature replicas ... whatever became cult. As shown, relatively recently the Delorean became a great 500GB hard drive.

Nor could miss the replica of the car in LEGO version also on the page will show how to build:

Also put on sale a few years ago Fluzo capacitor and Time Machine. If interested, yet this time . Nike even honored the car with the limited edition Nike DeLorean:

Point in the film

A time machine? ... To produce it, why not do it with class? ... Marty! I have not invented a time machine for profit! It attempts to shed some light on humanity: where we come from, where we are heading, are there opportunities? "Lurking dangers? Is there hope?, Or may know the answer to the big question: Why?

Being the post about the DeLorean, I stay with this explanation of Doc While I've put together two separate dialogues, this is how he came to define Marty Doc DeLorean creation as a perfect tool for time travel. I leave you with a small tribute to a user of YouTube , who collected several of the scenes where the DeLorean was the protagonist.

Finally, I leave you with the teaser that was made ​​last year to mark the 25th anniversary of the first part of the trilogy. An exact replica of Michael J. Fox 25 years later. Enjoy.
