Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Future"?

Think about it! If they didn't kill them then this is a plothole because it means Doc Brown and Marty are proably going to prision. Well Marty might get a lesser senetence but he did fail to call the cops soonas he find out his friend was doing business with terrrorist. Since I doubt they died, just by crashing into that small buidling thingy it means that the end of the first "Back of the Future" movie proably has a slighly different ending. Soon as the heart-warming scene were we find out Doc read the letter and put on bullet-proff vest to save himself I can' help but think we are missing a scene. Something like..


Doc "Great Scott! The Liberians! Marty, your not going to like this but we going to have to go over there and kill them all before the cops show up!"

Marty "What! I can't murder someone!

Doc"We got to do it. Cops start asking them questions they will eventually find out about me. I can't go to jail. Not on the eve of my greatest invention. You can't handle jail either MArty. Your to pretty. Your be sucking some rapist's dick, before your first day is over.

Marty! "Oh man! This is heavy!"

Doc "Don't worry, I cam prepeared. When I read that letter you wrote I figured I might need to protect myself" Doc pulls out to handguns.

Marty "I can't do it! i just can't do it!"

Doc"What's the matter, are you chicken!

Marty"Nobody calls me chicken, give me one of those guns."

They then walk over to the van and shoot and Liberians who are still alive and then get the hell out of the mall before the cops show up to the crime scene.

Why would they need to murder librarians?
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

I believe they were Libyans. :p

That is proably true. Dam internet tricked me. I looked up the spelling and it gave me the wrong country. I thought liberians seemed kind of off but hey it's close enough. :)

I assumed they died in the crash when they hit that building at full speed.

....why is it ALWAYS Liberians?!?

Yeah, I thought they were already (presumably) dead after Marty came "back to the future" at the end of the movie. :wtf: Hope this is not going to end up being another *Mace Windu ROTS* thread since, after all, we didn't see their charred corpses.:lol:
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

Yeah, I figured they were dead, too.

But killing librarians would have been a fun, random plot turn.

Marty and Doc Brown though would proably want to go and make sure there dead before they leave. You don't want to leave anyone around that can spill the beans about yourself to the cops. Bad enough the Doc proably had to kill the mall security guards so he could do his experiments without anyone alerting the authorities. That's why he brought his van. Security guard would come over and ask what he was doing. Doc would shoot him and toss the body in his van, so he could eventually take the bodies to the past and dump them, and never be found by the cops.

Doc planned to dump the corpses in a field in the year 0000. That way, no one would ever be able to ID any of em.
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

I thought it was Libertarians. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :p

Seriously though, I doubt the Liberians/Libiyans are really a threat. They think they killed the Doc so they are either high tailing it back home or as far from the area as they can to avoid being connected or caught with what they think is a murder. And even if some were injured or incapacitated, Doc took off afterwards. And being they were terrorists, I doubt very much they'd do a lot of talking anyways.
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

They were chasing Marty in the Delorean when he went back in time and they crashed into the flaming small building. Hitting a small building at around 88 MPH while neither were wearing harnesses would have been enough of an impact to break their necks.
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

I forgot they slammed into that building that hard. I haven't seen the movies in too long. I'll have to watch the trilogy again soon.

Not just that, but isn't there a case of plutonium still in that parking lot?

Why would there be? At the end of the first film, Doc is alive, I'm sure he went back to collect all his stuff.
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

I always figured the Libyans later pulled themselves together and escaped; the parking lot stuff then chalked up to unsolved vandalism. Even if some of the Libyans survived and were arrested, the only person they could rat on is Doc Brown; and Doc Brown disappeared in his time machine after the incident (never to be firmly rooted in the present again). Certainly the Libyans could say they saw some kid with Doc, but how easily could a law enforcement investigation connect Doc and Marty? Did the Libyans even know Doc's name? Could the Libyans point out where Doc lived? It's doubtful Doc invited the guys over to his house.

Doc was kind of a recluse who apparently did his work either behind closed doors or in abandoned parking lots at night; and the impression I got was that Marty was Doc's gofer so that Doc wouldn't have to break away from his work. With Marty being that kind of flunkie kid, Marty could just claim he didn't realize what was really going on and didn't know what to do when Doc disappeared. Marty may have been harassed by the police for awhile, but there would be no charge that could stick on Marty; this was 1985 after all; it wasn't Sept. 12, 2001.

Not just that, but isn't there a case of plutonium still in that parking lot?
Nah. Doc had to use another dose to power up the Delorean for his trip to the future; it's doubtful he would forget to put the plutonium in the car again; but there is a tiny, tiny bit of doubt since we are talking about Doc Brown here. ;)
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

LOL!

That "small building thingy" was a kind of "Fotomat".

AFAIK, the last of the plutonium was used when Marty went back to 1955. After that I think the case was empty. So there'd be nothing to find.
 
Re: Doc Brown/Marty have to murder the liberians in "Back to the Futur

^Definitely not. It's a plot point of the movie that Doc was interrupted by the attack before he had time to put the extras in the car.
