 PROBLEM CHILD 2

 Starring: James Tolkan

Inside problem child Junior's little house/roach farm (on the second floor) is a toy BTTF De Lorean!

Also, BTTF's James Tolkan (Mr Strickland) plays a teacher in this film. On the blackboard behind him in one scene there is a list of rules, one of which clearly states: "No slackers!" It's a nice nod to his part in BTTF.

 SAY ANYTHING...
 Ione Skye's character, Diane Court, has to make the valedictory speech at graduation. One of the lines she has written is: "I've seen the future and all I can say is: let's go back." Her father thinks it's hilarious, but it bombs when she says it at the ceremony.  Say Anything... (1989)

 COMEDY
 SCROOGED
 The Ghost of Christmas Past drives a taxi that travels through time. He takes Frank Cross back to 1955 - definitely a tip of the hat to BTTF. Another possible references when tied in with these ones is the young Frank Cross watching the Howdy Doody show - which was also on at Doc's in 1955 in Part III.  Scrooged (1988)
 MOVIE

 COMEDY
 STUART LITTLE

 Starring: Michael J. Fox as Stuart

While the end credits roll, Stuart Little's dance routine pays homage to Marty McFly's on stage persona from BTTF. There is also another echo of BTTF when Stuart says to his adoptive father, "Hey, Dad -- George!" (Though he leaves off, "You on the bike!")

 THE TRUMAN SHOW
 Truman Burbank "lives" in Seahaven. In one shot, when he backs his car up, we get a close-up of his licence plate. The Seahaven motto is "A Nice Place to Live," the same town motto as BTTF's Hill Valley.  The Truman Show (1998)

 WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT

 Director: Robert Zemeckis

When Benny is caught in the alley between the cops and the weasels, the weasel who is driving says "I'm gonna ram him." Biff says the same thing when he's trying to run down the skateboarding Marty in the first BTTF film.
