he couldn't build an electric motor as the town blacksmith? He likely even had all the needed materials in inventory at that moment, and I'm sure the rated capacity of the Mr. Fusion is far enough above the 1.21 gigawatt requirement of the time circuits to allow him to bleed off a few megawatts.

I'm starting to think time travel isn't real.

Not to mention that if he distilled the alcohol (something that can be done by anyone with iron-age tools) before putting it into the engine, it would have worked perfectly fine.

It's loving bullshit is what it is. It needs to be removed from fiction and scientific inquiry because it's too drat weird and complicated.

I think that maybe he couldn't access the Mr. Fusion web-based power configuration
menu without a wifi-enabled device on hand, but even then I'm sure he was capable of
getting the job done with the limited means he had available to him.
Also, why couldn't they use the hover mode? The focus on the hoverboards seems to lead
you to believe they function the same. Maybe forward thrust requires gas?

In the Director's Cut, it is revealed that "the creepy kid" is supposed to be Biff as a child, which makes this scene even more creepy.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
Ending Back to the Future on a cliffhanger like it did was the most stupid idea ever and completely hosed up any chance at a quality sequel.

Oh and in Jurassic Park, they should have made all the dinosaurs male because they likely had ZW sex determination, meaning the females are heterogametic.

If you watch the director's cut of GBS I'm also revealed to be Biff as a child.

The Man Who Folded Himself is a good story - at first from the title I thought it was about auto-fellatio and it turns out I was right, in a way.
