What about the Farmer whose tree gets nailed? The name on the mailbox is “Peabody”. And, when Mr.Peabody shouts for his shotgun, which child does he call out to? His boy “Sherman”, of course! (Hint: WABAC ‘Way Back’ machine)

Err… ok then. Always thought that was fairly obvious. Well, better late than never for some people, I guess. Hey… here’s some more buzz for ya b/c apparently I’m extra clever! In BttF 3, after going to the past and back to the future, Clayton Ravine has its name changed because Doc saved Clara CLAYTON from falling into the ravine and having it named after her.

I don’t need to echo the other “it was clearly pointed out in the movie” sentiments, but I’d like to thank the OP for reminding me about this cool detail of one of my favourite movies EVER :D It’s a lot like movie message boards on IMDb that discuss little details you may or may not have noticed (the LoTR boards have a lot of those threads).

Hmmmm, it’s been a while since I seen it, but I could’ve sworn it changed to “Space Aliens Killed My Tree Mall”.

I own the movie and have seen it a b’zillion times, and even LOVE sometimes gnit-picking them, but I never once saw that danged detail!
HA!
Good find, dude!
Wait..is there a button for that?
yeah!

Um. Whether you noticed this before or not (and not to be snotty, but it WAS made pretty obvious), it doesn’t qualify as a “mind fuck”. It’s more of a “cool detail”.

I like the people that hadn’t noticed it before. I don’t like all the douchebags that think they are better than God for already knowing about this. I’m looking at you Jed Oliver, brianb14, Ronald G., markb14 (any relation to brianb14? Douchebag could be hereditary…). Seriously? You’re pissed enough after viewing this post to leave a snide comment? Please, go outside and get some sun.

duh.

sonofabitch i never caught that. and i’ve seen this movie a billion times.

Yep. Noticed it when I was a wee lass.

You should get into a time machine and go back to 1985, when you could have been the first to observe this.  Aw, just kiddin’. I’ve seen this movie a million times and never noticed this before. Good for you.

Also what’s really cool is that in the end his family is all better off than they were before he went back in time. Real cool minor detail that others might have missed since they missed this too.

that is crazy… i never noticed that

I don’t comment much, but this post may be the lamest thing I’ve ever seen. If this F**ks your Mind, I know a good psychiatric hospital here in the city I could recommend.

You only noticed that now?

Seriously, Doc says something about “Old Mr. Peabody” breeding trees. Way to be late.

I noticed that, too. When I was 8.
