Back to the future


when gene and jonathan are riding thru downtown on the bike isnt that the same downtown area in the back to the future movies?

reply

I think that the area that was depicted was very accurate for the time, considering I was a college student in the area at the time, and I knew the central square of Nelsonville which really had not changed at the time besides getting rid of some of the more modern companies in the background.

sorry this reply is a bit late, but the BTTF movies were shot in a studio back lot, whereas Mischief was shot in Nelsonville.

I thought the same also for the longest time. The town is very similar to the location in Back to the future. However BTTF was filmed on the same lot as Gremlins.

It may or may not be the same exteriors, but the interior of the cafe looks identical to Lou's Cafe in BTTF.

They were made the same year, so most likely the same set?
