If you’re still on the fence about asking Lorraine to the dance, hopefully this will serve as an adequate motivator akin to Darth Vader and Van Halen.
Because if you do not ask Lorraine to the dance, you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life!
Enchantment Under The Sea Disco
Fri 9 Dec
HOME, Manchester
We’re threw an ‘Enchantment Under The Sea’ disco, inspired by the much-loved opening night feature, Back to the Future. This free event played host to the UK’s premiere DeLorean Time Machine, illuminated and wreathed in dry ice in Tony Wilson Place come nightfall as the party was getting underway.
Inside, the film itself was screened whilst the ground floor bar was transformed into a kitsch, underwater setting inspired by the vintage party that Marty McFly gate-crashes to save his family’s future. Local artists were commissioned to create sea themed ‘your face here’ standees, ranging from mermaids, King Neptune and eaten-by-an-octopus!
A split music programme saw Vintage 78 DJs playing music from the 1950’s on gramophones, embracing the start of Rock n’ Roll, Rhythm and blues, Doo wop and Blues records from the greatest artists of the day including Chuck Berry, Wynonie Harris, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Hayley, Tennessee Ernie Ford, the Chordettes and many more from 20.00 onwards.
At 10.04 – the moment that the clock tower in the movie is struck by lightning – the party flipped to hits of the 1980s, presided over by Christopher Dresden Styles of Manchester’s popular Pop Curious? club nights. Co-host Tilly Skreams flashed her retro moves on the dance floor to tunes from Madonna, Wham!, Duran Duran, a-ha, Dead or Alive, Eurythmics, Bruce Springsteen, Kate Bush, The Pet Shop Boys, The Smiths, Kylie, Soft Cell, Bros, Whitney Houston, Erasure, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and more.
Undersea Bar Tropicana was serving classic 80s cocktails plus authentic diner-type hotdogs and steaming piles of mac’n cheese keeping revellers fuelled and able to air-guitar with gusto, with complementary soap bubbles distributed to enthusiastic dancers and the best/worst-dressed.

The BMW 633CSi is a model of BMW built between 1976 and 1989.
In 2015, Griff Tannen owned a heavily modified hover-converted version of the car, which was a convertible orange and black model waxed for him (two coats, naturally) by his grandfather Biff Tannen. Griff accidentally smashed his left taillight with his bat while swinging furiously at Marty McFly.
Actuality
Anyone expecting to see in 2015 a futuristic, flying BMW of the make and model featured in Back to the Future Part II is going to be disappointed, as the BMW 633CSi is no longer being produced.
As far as is known, BMW have no plans to produce a flying model in the foreseeable future. But maybe one day...!

The flying customised BMW 633 CSi from 'Back to the Future II' was the ride of Griff Tannen, the grandson of Biff (from BTTF I & II). Other than landing outside the Cafe 80's and being whacked by Griff's baseball bat, the car does not get to play much role in the movie.
This Lego miniland scale Custom BMW 633 CSi Convertible (Back to the Future II) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 96th Build Challenge - The 8th Birthday, titled - 'Happy Crazy Eight Birthday, LUGNuts' - where all previous build challenges are available to build to. This model is built to the LUGNuts 57th Build Challenge, - "From Mild to Wild" - the second part of the two=part challenge to take a standard car and modify it in some way. The model is also built to the 6th build challenge, - "Your Claim to Fame" - a challenge encouraging the builder to create an iconic model with some level of popular culture reference (to ensure lots of interweb exposure) -
The Packard was a make of car in the 1950s.
Emmett Brown owned a cream-colored Packard Custom Eight Victoria and let Marty McFly borrow it for the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. The car became the scene of the scuffle between Biff Tannen, Lorraine Baines, and George McFly.
When Marty returned for the second time to 1955, he drove Doc home after he fainted.
The Packard's license plate number was 8N39742.

My favourite car from the trilogy of the 'Back to the Future' films is the Packard Convertible owned by the 1955 era Doc Brown. Not necessarily obvious to recent viewers of the film, the Packard is one of the subtle references to the privilege background that Doc Brown would have come from. The Packard of the post-war period were a challenge to Cadillac as the very best car one could buy. The Custom Eight Victoria sitting toward the higher end of the Packard range. The 1948 was the first new Post-War Packards, still utilising the pre-war chassis and straight-eight engine.
One of the other markers of Doc Brown's status in 1955 is his house. The following are a couple of interesting links regarding both his house and the garage used in the first film:
Doc Brown house from the film is a fantastic early 29th century home; 'Robert R. Blacker House' (no relation). I encourage the reader to investigate this house further, as it is really exceptionally finished.

The second home used was 'Gamble House', designed by the same Architects:

Enchantment Under The Sea Disco

We’re threw an ‘Enchantment Under The Sea’ disco, inspired by the much-loved opening night feature, Back to the Future. This free event played host to the UK’s premiere DeLorean Time Machine, illuminated and wreathed in dry ice in Tony Wilson Place come nightfall as the party was getting underway.
Inside, the film itself was screened whilst the ground floor bar was transformed into a kitsch, underwater setting inspired by the vintage party that Marty McFly gate-crashes to save his family’s future. Local artists were commissioned to create sea themed ‘your face here’ standees, ranging from mermaids, King Neptune and eaten-by-an-octopus!
A split music programme saw Vintage 78 DJs playing music from the 1950’s on gramophones, embracing the start of Rock n’ Roll, Rhythm and blues, Doo wop and Blues records from the greatest artists of the day including Chuck Berry, Wynonie Harris, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Hayley, Tennessee Ernie Ford, the Chordettes and many more from 20.00 onwards.
At 10.04 – the moment that the clock tower in the movie is struck by lightning – the party flipped to hits of the 1980s, presided over by Christopher Dresden Styles of Manchester’s popular Pop Curious? club nights. Co-host Tilly Skreams flashed her retro moves on the dance floor to tunes from Madonna, Wham!, Duran Duran, a-ha, Dead or Alive, Eurythmics, Bruce Springsteen, Kate Bush, The Pet Shop Boys, The Smiths, Kylie, Soft Cell, Bros, Whitney Houston, Erasure, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and more.

Marty: "Let's land on him, we'll cripple his car."
Doc: "Marty, he's in a '46 Ford. We're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil."
— As the DeLorean hovers over the Ford
The Ford Super De Luxe was a model of vehicle manufactured by Ford during the 1940s. Biff Tannen owned a 1946 version in 1955 which was a convertible, painted black with a red interior, and had the nickname "Shiela". Its license plate number was 6H 96472.
Biff was the only person who knew the trick to starting the ignition, as he told Terry: "You just gotta have the right touch. Nobody can start this car but me." Biff still remembered the technique in his old age — much to the amazement of his younger self, who demanded to know how this "old codger with a cane" knew how to do this.
History
After being provoked by Marty McFly in Lou's Cafe on November 8, 1955, Biff and his gang chased him in the Ford around Courthouse Square before slamming into a manure truck. By November 12, Biff had the car repaired. In order to repair the damage to his car, Biff was pressured by Terry to pay $300 for the job, but refused payment. As he argued with Terry, both Marty and Biff's older self jumped into the Ford, with Marty hiding in the back seat. Old Biff drove the Ford back to his house and parked it in his garage before displaying the Grays Sports Almanac.
Later that night, Marty snuck away in the back seat again as Biff drove to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance at Hill Valley High School. Biff parked the vehicle outside the door of the gymnasium and returned to it after discovering that Marty had been after the almanac. Biff drove the Ford towards River Road Tunnel on the way home before Marty swooped in using the hoverboard. Biff and Marty fought over the almanac outside and in the tunnel, with Biff sideswiping the wall of the tunnel with the right side of the Ford. When Biff reached the end of the tunnel, he turned completely around and faced Marty who was still halfway inside. Biff charged the car towards Marty in the hopes of running him over, but failed when Marty grabbed a string of pennants attached to the DeLorean time machine. As Biff watched the DeLorean hover away, he crashed the Ford into a manure truck again, filling his car with manure.
It is unclear what became of the Ford after 1955, but it reappeared newly restored in 1985A where it was on display at the entrance to the Biff Tannen Museum, alongside a waxwork figure of Biff.

1:24 model of the "Back to the Future" DeLorean car. Made by Welly's and bought in modelzone, but me being me: i wasn't happy with it. I re-did the paint job and also installed batteries and LEDs so that the headlights lit up.
I appreciate that this die cast of the DeLorean Time Machine comes with the "hook" attached to catch the 1.21 GigaWatts of electricity traveling down the cable from the lightning-struck clock tower,
More details added to the Cafe 80's as well. Still much to add, but I hope you appreciate the progress. I added some of the badges and pennants on the wall and I animated the TV screens.

History
By 2015, taxicabs, like most vehicles, were able to fly, which rendered transportation much quicker than when they were road cars. However, the fares were much more expensive compared to the previous century.
The DeLorean time machine nearly collided with a taxicab when it departed from Lyon Estates in 1985 and appeared in the wrong lane of Skyway C25 on October 21, 2015, facing oncoming traffic.
On the same day, Biff Tannen followed the DeLorean, with Doc and Marty aboard, to Hilldale in Cab B25 from the Luxor Cab Company. Fred, the cab driver, had an intelligent parrot named Priscilla that could read the amount of the fare.
The cab had its own entertainment system consisting of "200 local channel stereo, mobile phone, food, beverage and snack dispensing systems". [1] Biff may have made use of this facility to pass the time while the vehicle was stuck on the jammed Skyway C25.

The Citroen DS Taxi is the very first vehicle seen in the year 2015 - a remarkable 60 years after the original launch of the DS road car. The DS Taxi still looks more modern than a majority of the taxis on the road today - though the Toyota Prius probably comes closest.
Old Biff uses the DS Taxi to get about in Hill Valley through the 2015-era part of the movie.

We’re threw an ‘Enchantment Under The Sea’ disco, inspired by the much-loved opening night feature, Back to the Future. This free event played host to the UK’s premiere DeLorean Time Machine, illuminated and wreathed in dry ice in Tony Wilson Place come nightfall as the party was getting underway.
Inside, the film itself was screened whilst the ground floor bar was transformed into a kitsch, underwater setting inspired by the vintage party that Marty McFly gate-crashes to save his family’s future. Local artists were commissioned to create sea themed ‘your face here’ standees, ranging from mermaids, King Neptune and eaten-by-an-octopus!

At 10.04 – the moment that the clock tower in the movie is struck by lightning – the party flipped to hits of the 1980s, presided over by Christopher Dresden Styles of Manchester’s popular Pop Curious? club nights. Co-host Tilly Skreams flashed her retro moves on the dance floor to tunes from Madonna, Wham!, Duran Duran, a-ha, Dead or Alive, Eurythmics, Bruce Springsteen, Kate Bush, The Pet Shop Boys, The Smiths, Kylie, Soft Cell, Bros, Whitney Houston, Erasure, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and more.
Undersea Bar Tropicana was serving classic 80s cocktails plus authentic diner-type hotdogs and steaming piles of mac’n cheese keeping revellers fuelled and able to air-guitar with gusto, with complementary soap bubbles distributed to enthusiastic dancers and the best/worst-dressed.

Enchantment Under The Sea Disco
Fri 9 Dec
HOME, Manchester
We’re threw an ‘Enchantment Under The Sea’ disco, inspired by the much-loved opening night feature, Back to the Future. This free event played host to the UK’s premiere DeLorean Time Machine, illuminated and wreathed in dry ice in Tony Wilson Place come nightfall as the party was getting underway.
Inside, the film itself was screened whilst the ground floor bar was transformed into a kitsch, underwater setting inspired by the vintage party that Marty McFly gate-crashes to save his family’s future. Local artists were commissioned to create sea themed ‘your face here’ standees, ranging from mermaids, King Neptune and eaten-by-an-octopus!

Marty: "Let's land on him, we'll cripple his car."
Doc: "Marty, he's in a '46 Ford. We're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil."
— As the DeLorean hovers over the Ford
The Ford Super De Luxe was a model of vehicle manufactured by Ford during the 1940s. Biff Tannen owned a 1946 version in 1955 which was a convertible, painted black with a red interior, and had the nickname "Shiela". Its license plate number was 6H 96472.
Biff was the only person who knew the trick to starting the ignition, as he told Terry: "You just gotta have the right touch. Nobody can start this car but me." Biff still remembered the technique in his old age — much to the amazement of his younger self, who demanded to know how this "old codger with a cane" knew how to do this.
History
After being provoked by Marty McFly in Lou's Cafe on November 8, 1955, Biff and his gang chased him in the Ford around Courthouse Square before slamming into a manure truck. By November 12, Biff had the car repaired. In order to repair the damage to his car, Biff was pressured by Terry to pay $300 for the job, but refused payment. As he argued with Terry, both Marty and Biff's older self jumped into the Ford, with Marty hiding in the back seat. Old Biff drove the Ford back to his house and parked it in his garage before displaying the Grays Sports Almanac.
Later that night, Marty snuck away in the back seat again as Biff drove to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance at Hill Valley High School. Biff parked the vehicle outside the door of the gymnasium and returned to it after discovering that Marty had been after the almanac. Biff drove the Ford towards River Road Tunnel on the way home before Marty swooped in using the hoverboard. Biff and Marty fought over the almanac outside and in the tunnel, with Biff sideswiping the wall of the tunnel with the right side of the Ford. When Biff reached the end of the tunnel, he turned completely around and faced Marty who was still halfway inside. Biff charged the car towards Marty in the hopes of running him over, but failed when Marty grabbed a string of pennants attached to the DeLorean time machine. As Biff watched the DeLorean hover away, he crashed the Ford into a manure truck again, filling his car with manure.
It is unclear what became of the Ford after 1955, but it reappeared newly restored in 1985A where it was on display at the entrance to the Biff Tannen Museum, alongside a waxwork figure of Biff.

Back to the Future Courthouse Hall Park (CE 2018)
Album for more details: flic.kr/s/aHsmKraNku
For the 2018 Calgary Expo SALUG decided to do a Back to the Future diorama, representing a section of Hill Valley as it changed throughout the years between the 3 movies. I was asked to do the park in front of Courthouse Hall from 2015 (BTTF 2), and another member built the Courthouse Hall to go behind my park.
I scanned through all the parts of the movie where the park was shown, frame by frame to get a good idea of the layout. The footprint I was given was not scaled to the actual size of the park (square vs. rectangular), so I had to adjust things to fit, and actually ended up rough planning it in PowerPoint - first/only time I've ever done that.
It turned out alright, and I especially enjoyed creating a new style of tree and doing the foliage/flowers. It was only ever shown at this event, and taken apart shortly after.
