There's a lot to love about the Back to the Future trilogy, from the time travel hijinks to the amazing score and everything in between. It's been more than 30 years since the first film, and we can't stop watching these movies. No matter how many times you've seen them, though, there are still some details you may have missed in the Back to the Future films.

The Back to the Future set designers started dropping plot hints within the first minute of the film. The opening scene in Doc's home shows dozens of synchronized ticking clocks. This is a tribute to the classic 1960 time travel movie The Time Machine, in which eccentric inventor H. George Wells has a similar collection of aligned timepieces.

Doc's collection looks pretty random, but one of the clocks gives away a major scene from the end. At about a minute in, we see a miniature model of a clock tower with a man holding onto the minute hand. Like all but one of Doc's clocks, the time on this one is 25 minutes slow. Later in the movie, in 1955, Doc Brown dangles before the face of the Hill Valley clock tower as he tries to connect the cable to channel the lightning bolt.

However, this prop wasn't made for Back to the Future. It was a real clock made in tribute to a different movie: the 1923 silent film Safety Last!, in which actor Harold Lloyd also clung to the minute hand of a clock above a busy street. Actors named Lloyd can't seem to avoid clock towers.
