Back to the Future (PART I)
dir: Robert Zemeckis
By Arthur Handy
Flux capacitor is fluxing - Time circuits on.
Visiting the sets and locations from the movie "Back to the Future" (BTTF) doesn't require a time traveling flying Delorean. Why? Because most of the BTTF sets can been seen right here in good old 2003.
Remember Doc Brown's infamous first time traveling test? It all began at the Twin Pines Mall.
Twin Pines Mall is actually the Puente Hills Mall - As Doc explains during this scene, Old Man Peabody owned the land on which the mall now stands and had the crazy idea of breeding pine trees. The Puente Hills Mall is on Azusa Boulevard -Colima Road off the Pomona Freeway (California Route 60) in the City of Industry - Rowland, CA
Leap thirty years into the past and we arrive on the farm that is owned, or was owned, or will be once owned before...we arrive on the Peabody farm. Or what was, and is still today, known as the Golden Oak Ranch, a movie ranch owned by Disney.
Be aware, the ranch is off limits without permission.
It's in this scene that Marty races off Peabody's land to avoid the oncoming buckshot and he inadvertently runs over one of two prized pine trees.
70 miles away from this is the location for Lyon Estates and the long walk to Hill Valley. The spot where Marty stops is due south down Chino-Corona Road, the road that runs past the Prison Detention Center.
"SAVE THE CLOCK TOWER"
The famous clock tower, stands on the Universal Studio back lot. This location was used for downtown Hill Valley.
