17. Where did Marty get the car to drive Lorraine to the dance?

Answer: never mentioned

Actually, it's Doc's car, you can see it in his driveway. But since I received a lot of correction messages saying either "it's Doc's car" or "it's Lorraine's car", I decided to take these two possibilities out of the multiple choice to stop the quarrel. And, come on... it's REALLY never mentioned, though you can guess it if you watch closely.

18. When Marty has returned to his "hometime", his radio wakes him. Which song does it play?

Answer: "Back In Time"

Quite suitable :)

19. What is the title of George's new book?

Answer: "A Match Made In Space"

It's quite long.

20. Who directed the movie?

Answer: Robert Zemeckis

He also directed "Forrest Gump". Part 2 will follow in a short time. Hope you had fun.
