Where did they shoot the scenes that took place in the town where the clock tower & the diner are?
ReplyDeleteUniversal studios Backlot. Most of the locations such as the clock tower, diner, movie theater is located specifically in Courthouse Square. The exact same locations were used to serve as Kingston Falls (town in the Spielberg classic Gremlins)
Deletethe same place the first movie was shot

ReplyDeleteWhat about the house in the future? Hilldale house?
ReplyDeleteThat's located at 3793 Oakhurst St. El Monte, Ca. 91732. It's a gated community, however, and not easily accessible.
DeleteKind of a quick/insignificant location, but do you have any idea where the scene was shot after Marty runs away from his house in alt 1985? It's when he sees the burned cars and crime scene with chalk outlines. I'm guessing it was probably in the same neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteBiffs was a scale model inposed on the universal clocktower its wasnt filmed in vegas. :)
ReplyDeleteCorrect, but the look for Biffs was inspired by the Plaza Hotel & Casino.
