[edit] Differences between novel and movie

  • In the novel, while Marty is at his house in 1985A, he attempts to go through the front door which is locked.
  • In the novel, Doc reveals a money belt under his Hawaiian shirt that contains currency from different eras. Rather, in the movie, it is a briefcase.
  • In the novel, Terry says "horse droppings" instead of "horseshit".
  • Much of the swearing from the film was removed and replaced with less vulgar words.
  • It is implied that in the original 2015 timeline (before Marty takes his son's place and prevents the robbery), Marlene commits suicide after Marty Jr.'s arrest, having fallen into a deep depression. The word "suicide" is not used, however, because Marty interrupts Doc's sentence.
