The 21st of October marks the day Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and Jennifer Parker travel to the future in "Back to the Future Part II".
This day celebrates one of the iconic sci-fi movies of all time, "Back to the Future".&nbsp;Here are five fun facts about "Back to the Future" to celebrate "Back to the Future" Day:
1) The Original Time Machine Was a Refrigerator:
In early drafts of the script, the time machine was not a DeLorean but a refrigerator. The change to a DeLorean was made to make the vehicle mobile and to avoid encouraging kids to climb into refrigerators.
2) Michael J. Fox Wasn't the First Choice for Marty:
Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly and even shot several scenes. However, after a few weeks of filming, the director felt Stoltz didn&rsquo;t capture the right tone, and Michael J. Fox was brought in, despite his busy schedule on Family Ties.

3) The Famous Clock Tower Scene Was Filmed in the Universal Backlot:
The Hill Valley Courthouse Square, where the iconic clock tower is located, is actually part of the Universal Studios backlot. This set has been used in numerous films and TV shows over the years, including Gremlins and To Kill a Mockingbird.
4) DeLorean Sales Got a Boost After the Film:
Although the DeLorean Motor Company went out of business before the movie was released, the car became a cultural icon thanks to its role as the time machine, boosting interest in the DeLorean model for years afterward.
