* LawOfTimeTravelCoincidences: Discussed when Doc finds out that Old Biff travelled to the same day, November 12, 1955, that Marty departed from in the first film. It's also the day of the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance where Marty's parents fell in love and the historic thunderstorm that stopped the town clock. Doc ponders if the date could have some "cosmic significance" but shrugs it off as an incredible coincidence.

* FailedFutureForecast: The brief mention of Queen Diana's visit to Washington D.C. in 2015 may have been intended as a throwaway gag, but it ends up mis-predicting history on several counts. Firstly, Diana divorced Prince Charles two decades before the date of her state visit in the film. Secondly, Diana wasn't even alive in 2015, due to her tragic death in a car crash in 1997. Thirdly, even if Diana had been alive ''and'' still married to Charles, she wouldn't have been the queen in 2015, as UsefulNotes/ElizabethII was still on the throne by the time 2015 rolled around in real-life (in fact, that year saw her surpass UsefulNotes/QueenVictoria's record as the longest-reigning British monarch).

** 2015 Hilldale is quickly established as a rough neighborhood of disrepute, with the cops even commenting that the whole place ought to be torn down, which indicates how bad Marty's future is if he's stuck living there. However, 1985 Marty comes from a time where Hilldale is the hot new development for affluent people, so he sees himself living there as a sign that he's made it big.
