Trivia
The original script called for an adventure film in the mould of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and would have been much more faithful to Johns' original novels. During scriptwriting, however, Back to the Future (1985) was released and became a major hit, so the script was duly altered to follow this trend, in an attempt to capitalise on Back to the Future's popularity.
Quotes
Jim Ferguson:
You can't fly this. You don't know how.
