Changes: Starting line

Revision as of 18:10, 1 November 2015

Startingline-bluebirdmotel — The DeLorean at the starting line.

The starting line was a line painted on a street that led up to Courthouse Square. Doc Brown positioned it at a Bluebird Motel ad about a mile from the courthouse and instructed Marty McFly to drive to that point in the DeLorean, push a hook and rod into the flux capacitor and wait for the brass alarm clock Doc had placed on the dashboard to go off.

As Marty suddenly remembered he was in a time machine, he reset the time circuits for ten minutes prior to Doc's death in 1985. The car's engine then died. Marty eventually started it up after the alarm went off and made it to the cable just as lightning struck the clock tower and Doc was able to re-connect the cable.

Behind the scenes

The real life filming location of the starting line was in Griffith Park.
