I recently watched Back to The Future 2 again for the first time in I don’t know how many years. I’ve always had fond memories of seeing those films when I was a kid. There’s nothing like a Mattel branded Hover Board and a flying Dolorean to capture your imagination. So I was sitting there enjoying the film and then it dawned on me that the entire dilema from the film is pretty much impossible. Even worse than that the characters pretty much state it in the dialogue.

If somehow you haven’t seen this film, you might want to consider not reading any further.

When Doc Brown and Marty travel to the future their time machine is stolen by old Biff. Old Biff then travels back in time to the 50’s where he gives his younger self the sports almanac from the future. In the film he then goes back to the future and returns the time machine from where he stole it.
