Var scenen Twin Pines Mall klockan 1:15 för in-univers eller utomordentliga skäl?

Jag har inte hittat någon aning varför manuset säger 1:15 men vi kan utgå från några orsaker i universum

Utanför universum, Michael J Fox var bara fri att arbeta nätter

The only reason Michael J. Fox was even able to appear in Back to the Future was that his Family Ties co-star Meredith Baxter was getting ready to give birth to twins. The show’s schedule had to be changed as a result, and Fox was allowed to work part-time on Back to the Future.

During the nine weeks of shooting, the film crew mostly got to work with Fox only at night, as he would spend most of his days in Paramount rehearsing that week’s episode of Family Ties. In the evening, a driver would take him to whatever location Back to the Future was filming at that night. Fox would work on the movie until early in the morning, when he would be taken back home to catch a couple of hours of sleep. Then, another driver would wake him up, make him a coffee and take him to Paramount for another day of rehearsing.

I universum tillskrivs noveliseringen ( enligt BttF wiki ) att doktor Brown inte är bekväm runt någon sort av folkmassor, och vill undvika alla människor som kan vara i köpcentret av andra skäl (som filmutställningen släpper ut).

"Doc Brown eased the venerable step-van onto the Twin Pines Mall parking lot shortly after midnight. There were more cars than he expected, so he pulled to the far rim of the asphalt area and waited. "Must be a long movie," he said to himself. "

"A few minutes later, several dozen people emerged at once from the mall's interior and moved to their cars. A series of starting engines, blinking lights and squealing rubber enlivened the vast treeless plain for a few minutes. Then all was silence again. The faint smell of gasoline fumes hung in the thick air as the tiny specks of light disappeared into the morning darkness. In comparative solitude once again, Brown felt better. People made him feel vaguely insecure."

Visserligen förklarar det varför sent på kvällen, men inte specifikt 1:15.
