On page 4, Doc Brown tells Galileo to stop barking at George because he's "an old friend". Doc and George formally met in 1958 in "In Search of Calvin Marty Klein".

    On page 8, as the car chase against Biff and his gang gets started, the hippy driver asks Marty and Professor Irving if they've seen The French Connection yet. The French Connection is a 1971 action-thriller film known for a spectacular car chase (actually a car chasing an elevated train) through the streets of Brooklyn.

    On page 9, Biff remarks that suddenly everybody in town thinks they're Steve McQueen and 3-D counters that the hippy driver "...might think he's Gene Hackm--" before getting interrupted by Biff. Gene Hackman was the star of The French Connection. Steve McQueen (as previously mentioned in "Time Served" Part 1) was a popular anti-hero actor in the 1960s-70s and starred in another film with a memorable car chase, 1968's Bullitt.

On page 10, the hippy driver begins singing "The Wheels on the Bus", a popular children's song often sung while travelling by automobile, written in 1939 by Verna Hills.

On page 13, when Marty asks where the "missing" money could be, Biff sarcastically remarks, "Great question, Eisenstein." This could be considered another Biffism, as he probably meant, "Great question, Einstein."

On page 17, the "modern" Doc unexpectedly shows up in front of Marty and Professor Irving and says, "Who did you expect? Niels Bohr?" Niels Bohr (1885-1962) was a Danish physicist who contributed to the foundations of understanding atomic structure and quantum theory.

Doc explains that he used the remote control for the DeLorean to bring it back to 1986 when he found it missing. Doc previously used the remote to bring the DeLorean to his and Marty's rescue (non-temporally) in "Who is Marty McFly?" Part 5.
