No celebration of the 1980s would be complete without discussing the Back to the Future franchise—the trilogy that made a generation of kids crave hoverboards, roof-hinged car doors and Huey Lewis cassette tapes. Turn the time circuits on and see how well you remember Hill Valley, circa 1985. (And 1955. And 2015. And 1885.)
I wish this would have been more about what went on IN the movies, and less about outside stuff related to them :(

Wow, Jason. That was rough! I only got three right.

I bombed that one, 4 out of 10. Whats the curve Jason?

Everyone should add 3.5 points to their score. Don & Stacy, your scores are right in the meaty part of the curve.
This quiz was definitely tough, but I wanted to work in all the cool little facts I learned while rewatching the DVDs last week. (Can I expense that purchase now?)

Wow that was pretty tough.. 5 out of 12. However, now I’m inclined to sit down and watch the movies while paying close attention to everything and everyone. Cheers to this quiz!

4/10 for me as well. However, I thoroughly enjoy your reference to the Book It program. I, too, spent many a weeknight dinner at Pizza Hut thanks to it.

Whoo Hoo! I passed. I’ll study harder next time, the 80′s were good to me.
Great Quiz!
