      If you haven't heard some of the bizarre tales about Crispin Glover's... shall we say, "unique" interpretation of how George McFly should've been portrayed, honestly, check out the special features on the Blu-ray. Apparently for the scene where he tells Marty "not you or anyone else on this planet is gonna change my mind", he insisted that he needed to be holding a broom, so he could do a "sweep of indignation", whatever that means. Never mind that George is walking home from school in that scene, no, he clearly must be carrying a broom with him.
      Also, he insisted that the new successful George at the end should have slicked-back hair, a tank top, and hiked-up pants. Half the challenge of working with him, according to Robert Zemeckis, wast just throwing the metaphorical blanket over his cage and getting him to behave like a normal person. The recasting for the sequel suddenly makes a lot more sense.

      They ensure movies get made by getting reciprocation from the Director and Writer(s) about cast chemistry, script effect, and test screening palatability. Then after having inputs on cuts(usually ignored by more experienced directors) they decide with the studio on how much the film is worth for distribution long after they decide budgetary allocation for production. In short, they pay for the shit.

    "Hey, what's Michael J. Fox like?"
    He's nice.
    "What's Christopher Lloyd like?"
    Kinda quiet.
    "What's Crispin Glover like?"
    Unusual.

    Now I'm not Jewish, but I like to nosh

    "Hey, was that real manure?"
    No, it wasn't.
    "How was that DeLorean?"
    A piece of garbage.
    "Do those hoverboards really fly?"

    The DeLorean being a piece of garbage isn't surprising at all. I've toured several movie and TV sets and seen props used and they are literal hunks of trash that are molded into something that resembles the actual item being depicted in the cheapest way possible.
    For example, was touring an old set from Kong: Skull Island and the makers left a downed helicopter from the film there. The ranch it was on in Hawaii left it there as a landmark of where the scene was filmed. Up close you can easily tell it's a bunch of scrap metal welded into a helicopter shell. During transport of the prop to the set, the top case of the propeller broke so they painted a cooking wok (yes a real one) the same color and jammed that in there.
    The props are almost always designed to be thrown away or not used again so film companies never spend on those these days because you can just CGI it in post.
