Back to The Future: The Clocks... Doc knew? Or Coincidence

- This video suggests from the very beginning of the film somehow Doc knew the future already before Marty even time-traveled.. This goes against the laws of the single timeline theory in the film... This Trilogy is based ONE timeline. So, once Marty changes time, the mall name changes (twin pines mall to lone mine mall, etc), and everything and everyone around him does too.. So, in the opening sequence of the film, Doc did indeed die.... and never experienced everything we witness later throughout the film.... Marty changes that later and changes this very timeline... So, why this clock??? Never heard anyone bring this up, thus far.....
As pointed out by JAY OH, that clock depicts Harold Lloyd hanging from a clock in “Safety Last”. My guess is that's a tribute that also foreshadowed later events. As a bonus, the two actors shared the same name (not being related tho). Like, everything's falling into place.
I realized that after the fact. The clock is based on actor Harold Lloyd hanging from a clock tower. And as you mentioned the next actor was Christopher Lloyd to do the same thing. Fun fact. In the beginning of the film, the cement of the clock tower is in solid shape. When Marty returns and the helicopter points at it, the cement is clearly still destroyed just as Doc had done in '55. There are so many easter eggs. No one seems to notice this one...
0:35 there's the Kit Cat Clock! This movie is the reason why I bought one in June of 2015, and is still made in the U.S.A. to this day!
Um, isn't that actually a Felix the Cat clock?
@@kencaribbean7728 The Kit Cat Klock was introduced in 1932 by the Allied Clock Company(now called the California Clock Company), and has changed little over time(such as the addition of front paws in the 1950s). They come in many different colors (black is most common), and older clocks, such as the one in BTTF was powered by 120volts AC. Kit Cat Klocks made today are battery powered, and there's even a female variant (called the lady Kit Cat Klock) with eyelashes and a necklace in place of the bow tie found on the gentleman.
It's just a quote/easter egg of this old movie:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_Last!
"The 1985 film Back to the Future pays homage to Harold Lloyd "dangling from the skyscraper" by having one of the film's stars Christopher Lloyd (no relation to Harold) hang from a clock tower as part of the plot. In addition, a meta-reference appears in the opening scene of Back to the Future, in the form of a physical table clock which depicts the Safety Last! scene."
@@mars4ever That still makes it a cool foreshadowing easter egg.
Also, the dog clock is precisely one minute behind the others. Sound familiar?
I never noticed that before!!
Good catch!
@@alexvenn9296 If you've seen the movie (not sure if you have), this refers to the scene where Doc first tests out the Delorean with his dog Einstein as the test subject. He sent him forward in time by one minute so the two clocks he used to show the time discrepancy were exactly one minute apart.
He anit never gonna catch nothing like that
It could be a foreshadowing of future events in the movie, I don’t think Doc knew.
I just bought the
"Kit Kat" clock and remember this movie, and yep it's in there.
I've always wanted one ever since seeing it in the movie. Those things are so cute!
Does yours tick fairly fast - or is it quiet with the eyes/tail moving slowly? In the film, the latter is the case, the movement derived via the gearing from the synchronous mains driven motor. In the later version, shown on a new series called "Retro Workshop", the clock is battery and uses the tail as a false pendulum and thus a much faster swing. Nothing wrong with that, but it would make a bit of sound. If yours is mains driven, it will be rare! B.W..
@@darkgreenambulance still in the box.
Actually technically he could have remembered the past event. that was in the past
If anyone is curious the Drinking man clock shown here is called “happy time “ by Mastercrafters clock Co. I have one too if there are any questions. I’d say mine is fairing better than Doc’s here.
The clock scene could have been filmed at the end of taping. And it looks like a picture with the same time as the other clocks. Thats weird..
Just got a Kit Kat clock this week and forwarded this to my wife :)
I never understood how Doc said, "Perfect. My experiment worked. They're all 25 minutes slow." What experiment did he do. No way did he put those clocks in the car. They're too delicate. Then bring them back to his lab, THEN hours later realize they're slow. Anyone?
My guess is, that he turned them all 25 minutes back, then time trqvelled 25 Minutes, called his lab to hear all tge clocks ring at 8.25 to see if his Experiment worked
But he said after TEMPORAL EXPERIMENT NUMBER ONE that Einstein had just become the world's first time traveler. Good guess though.
braddockakalatis2 well yes, that is something talking against my assumption. But do you really believe that doc brown would send his own dog on an Experiment that was only made with non biological subjects, i suspect that doc himself was the first time traveller
All movies and any time travel will have more holes than swiss cheese.
@@eliasschmidt4112 But supposedly Einstein with Marty making a video was the first time traveler when we see SIRIUS the dog star sh*t. Iranians and nuclear.
Oh geez, there's no mystery here. Look at any Harold Lloyd silent B&W film and you'll see him hanging from a clock... Zemeckis and Gale, the writers, surely knew that and tried to make a tongue-in-check with the Doc Brown famous scene. If not, one of the producers put that clock, knowing the script beforehand.
To- The Torch: I do SO, SO love the Back to the Future Trilogy already- QUITE a bit!!! Though this time, I came to watch this video- because of the Kit Cat Klock. I was researching a bit on the web, about what movies the Kit Cat Klock is in/is featured in- & I was reminded that Back to the Future- Part 1, is one of the movies that the Kit Cat Klock is in. INDEED, when I watched this video- sure enough- I saw it, the original black model- up on the wall!!! I even decided that I felt I had to have one for myself, so earlier today- I ordered myself a Kit Cat Klock. Though I decided to order & DID order for myself, this model: Autumn Delight. That is too, the Gentleman Version. SO yeah &- Yay!!!!!! Also, I so did NOT notice w' the silver clock, that a man is hanging from the clock- JUST like Doc Brown was hanging from the clock towards the end of the movie, trying to help get Marty/send him back- to 1985. That is indeed QUITE interesting!!! Perhaps a bit of foreshadowing?! Next time I watch Part 1, I'm sure I will pay attention this time to that part- in the movie. I do own the trilogy on DVD. Anyways, thanks & i hope you enjoy your evening. Take care!!!

doc did not know thats why he died in the beginning, he was planning on going to the future after the first experiment
9/11 second reference to that event....the other is the twin pines mall sign. Interesting
a lot of Clocks like Disney's Pinocchio
coincidence ..thats harold loyd hanging from that clock i forgot the name of the movie but its and oldie ..
Yeah it’s “Safety Lasts”
Safety Last. (instead of Safety First) Great film.
Absolutely! The whole idea is that things that did happen, didn`t - and everything that didn`t happen, did! But, there you go! It makes films - and earns lots of money - so blow everything!.
time loop feedbacks, I call 'em.
It's an easter egg/homage/joke/whatever you want to call it.
I have a crush on Marty McFly’s mom
You do realise this is just foreshadowing from the producers
I have counted 18 clocks
I want that clock with the guy on the minute hand
When you are the inventor of a time machine! You can do the Ground Hog Day thing and keep looping its probably his second or third loop sround?
Also the fact that there is a clock missing from the lineup. The alarm clock doc placed in the delorean. That clock is missing yet a majority of the clocks in this scene are from the 50’s
Nobody talking about the flat earth clock behind the dog food
I’m more concerned about that owl clock, I frickin’ want it
It is cool!
I have that Owl clock and it is for sale.
Doc would have known about things such as hanging of the clock tower etc.. since marty went back in time and 1955 doc helped him out 1985 doc would have memories of when marty went back in time so he did know so it isnt coincidence that he has them clocks he knew
@Derp The Clown that hurts my head 😂😂 mabey we shouldn't over think it
@Derp The Clown I know, but what I originally ment was that doc and only doc from 1985 would remember what happens to marty when he goes back in the time vehicle, that's how he got the letter at the end, he kept it ( if you know what I mean )
And also why does he have a kit cat klock
The cat clock look like from the duck season
Stop steeling videos
hahahahhaa, ill have to think about this one
Hahahah!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yes!!! 🤣😜
Well, we are still in the twin pines universe, so he couldn't have known...
The clock would exist in either universe. He hung from the tower in both.
What about the drinking man, Who is he in the movie? , the cat? The owl? The dog... Ok maybe thats Einstein. 😉You will need at least tree dots to make a pattern. These Are all very familia clocks. Im sure thats all there is to it.
3rd!
