Back to The Future: Part 2 (1989) - Hero Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) Hoverboard
Marty McFly's (Michael J. Fox) hoverboard featured in Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi film Back to the Future: Part II. In this zany sequel, time-traveling duo Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) return from saving Marty's future son from disaster, only to discover their own time transformed. In this nightmarish version of Hill Valley, Marty's father has been murdered and Biff Tannen, Marty's nemesis, has profited. After uncovering the secret to Biff's success -- a sports almanac from the future -- Marty and the Doc embark on a quest to repair the space-time continuum.


This futuristic gadget became synonymous with McFly's character and stands as one of the most cherished hi-tech innovations associated with the franchise. Wood boards were made for production for effects work, including scenes of the actor riding the board. The featured hoverboard originated from an ILM production team member, constructed from wood, painted pink, and adorned with a photo-print finish on the top and bottom (as opposed to the lenticular print used on some boards). The top side showcases the word "HOVERBOARD," Mattel logos, and a hole in the front where Marty would have removed the handle. The bottom features plastic detailing with velcro strips. Despite displaying wear from use and age, including minor cracks and paint chipping, the hoverboard remains in very good condition. Its dimensions are28" x 8.5" x 2.5". This piece is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from a former employee of ILM and a Certificate of Authenticity from Studio Auctions.
