Roads? Where we are going we don’t need roads. A body of water wouldn’t hurt though. Matthew Riese raised over $5,500 in a Kickstarter campaign to fulfill his dream of turning a DeLorean, the same car Marty McFly used to go back and forth between present and past, into a working hovercraft.

Did you ever want to own a DeLorean like the one in ‘Back To The Future’? If you did, you probably weren’t in luck, as the car is quite rare. (Not to mention highly impractical.) But it looks like you will soon be able to posses the famous sports car time machine in Lego form, thanks [...]

1.21 Gigawhat? Delorean Taxis Hit New York

Chris Illuminati — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:30:58 +0000

Roads? Where we’re going we don’t needs roads. We aren’t going anywhere in these New York taxis that look like Deloreans from the Back to the Future movies. Don’t get us wrong, these taxis designed by NY-based ad agency Nooka are pretty awesome but we’re more worried about the safety of an entire city. New York [...]

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 15:30:11 +0000

Great Scott! 1.21 jigowatts! Additional exclamations! We may not keep up with FOX's thriving family comedy 'Raising Hope' all that often, but when 'Back to the Future' gets thrown into the mix, you can bet we're gonna see some serious sh*t. Not only that, but it seems Doc Brown himself Christopher Lloyd will guest star on the episode to get in on the fun! But where (or when) could 'Raising Hope' go with a 'Back to the Future' episode, and who could Lloyd play if not himself?

Go 'Back to the Future' With Official Marty McFly Hoverboard

Mike Sampson — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:00:56 +0000

Twenty-three years ago, as ‘Back to the Future, Part II’ first hit theaters, kids everywhere got their first look at a toy from the future. It was the Mattel Hoverboard, the skateboard without wheels that uses futuristic technology to float inches above the ground. Rumors swirled in the ’80s and ’90s that the Hoverboard was real (rumors fueled by director Robert Zemeckis) but, alas, much to the disappointment of children everywhere, the Hoverboard was just another piece of movie magic.

But now, just three years shy of 2015 – the “future” of ‘Back to the Future, Part II” – Mattel has finally announced the Hoverboard for sale.

Musician/comedian Matt “The Mouth” Mulholland was able to recreate the entire audio track from the famous skateboard chase scene in ‘Back to the Future’ using only the power of his own voice.

Shauna Wright — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:09:59 +0000

We recently told you about the Nike Air Mags, the ‘Back to the Future 2′-inspired shoes that pay homage to the footwear sported by Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly in the blockbuster sequel.

Now, Nike has confirmed the Mags are real, but good luck getting your hands on a pair: In a ’BTTF’-inspired promo (which featured cameos from Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown, Bill Hader as a shoe store staffer and Kevin Durant as a confused customer), we learn that only 1,500 pairs of the shoes have been produced and they’ll be going to the highest bidders.

Kari-Lynn Wirth — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:53:56 +0000

I love Michael J. Fox and have ever since his days as the tie-wearing, die-hard Republican, Alex P. Keaton on the 80s hit sitcom, “Family Ties.” And today, Fox turns the big 5-0, although he doesn’t look a day over 25.
