Continuity mistake: When Marty is going over the lake on the hover board, at the start his shoes go right under the water, but if you look at his shoes in the next shot, they are dry.
Continuity mistake: Right at the start of the movie where Doc Brown pulls up on the drive of Marty's house, we see a panning shot as Marty and Jennifer walk to the DeLorean - there are no vehicles parked on that side of the street. A moment later as Marty waves his hand in front of the Doc's glasses, there's a green VW bus parked almost outside the house. Then as the Doc's looking through the rubbish bin, the VW's moved further down the street. Then as the DeLorean backs off the drive, there's a yellow VW bus there instead. (00:01:20 - 00:02:05)
Continuity mistake: When Marty and Doc find Biff's car, Marty is not present in the DeLorean, but he appears in the next shot. (01:29:54)
Continuity mistake: When Marty, Jennifer, and Doc head to the 2015 Hill Valley, part of the text on the dashboard is faded, but when they travel back to 1985, the text is completely intact. Additionally, in the second shot, the 'Last Time Departed' is mentioned as Nov. 12, 1955, despite it being Oct. 26, 1985. (00:38:22)
Continuity mistake: When the police car arrives in Hilldale, there are no door handles on the car, but in the next shot, some appear. (00:27:16)
Continuity mistake: When Marty hides in Biff's car as he walks over to it after leaving the auto shop, the left visor on the car is raised, but in the next shot, it is lowered. (01:05:53)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, when Doc is running down the street after the DeLorean has gone back to 1985, the neon changes from red to yellow. It was red in both 1955 and 1985 in the first film. (01:41:34)
Continuity mistake: When Marty sees his dad punch Biff, he sees his other self standing near the group of people. He pushes between a guy and his date with nobody behind them. In the first film, there are more people behind them that Marty had to push through.
Continuity mistake: When Doc and Marty arrive in 2015's Hill Valley the flying DeLorean (a scale model) is missing the key lock and door handle dent. When it lands (and swaps to a real car) both appear.
Continuity mistake: 1955-Jen is showing some dresses to a friend when Biff shows up. Watch the man passing by the girls. He walks by twice.
Continuity mistake: Inside the tunnel, Biff punches Marty who's on the hoverboard, launching him back. A shot later Marty is suddenly standing tall and next to Biff, and gets punched again.
Continuity mistake: When 1955-Marty reads Doc's 1885 letter next to the Western Union car, his right hand is either on the lower part of the paper or the upper, depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: When Doc travels to 1885, Marty stands on the road holding a rope and says "He's gone." When the angle changes, the length of the rope sticking out is much shorter. (01:38:03)
Continuity mistake: When 1985-Jen encounters her old self, 2015-Jen walks several steps further. When the angle changes, old-Jen has stepped back 4 meters to allow for both to stare at each other closely.
Continuity mistake: When 2015-Lorraine takes the pizza out of the oven, the amount of green peppers decreases between shots. (00:33:22)
Continuity mistake: When Jen finds out that she got married in the chapel of love, her hair swaps from perfectly brushed to totally messed-up between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Jen is taken to her home in the future, Marty and Doc are in the car. Doc places his left hand over his glasses, but when the shot changes he's got his pinky finger raised.
Continuity mistake: When Marty reads the paper with the news about his son's arrest, the way he holds the paper differs between shots. (00:09:44)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie when Doc smashes through the trash cans, his glasses are not on. In the shot where he steps out of the car they are.
Suggested correction: He put them on in between shots.
Continuity mistake: During the beginning of the chase sequence, Marty is hanging on to a rope and there is a rear facing shot looking at him. There are two wet tire tracks in the shot. These disappear in the following shots.
