Christopher Lloyd is one of cinema’s most memorable actors, known for his eccentric and unforgettable roles. But did you know that he’s had not one, but two vehicles associated with time travel in his films? Yes, you read that right!
First, in the iconic Back to the Future trilogy, Lloyd’s character, Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown, built the legendary DeLorean time machine. In the first film, the DeLorean is stolen by Libyan terrorists, making it the first “vehicle” associated with Lloyd that literally gets taken for time travel.
Then there’s Lloyd’s portrayal of Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. He commands a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, which, while not stolen from him directly, is later used to perform the famous slingshot maneuver around the Sun to travel through time in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. That makes a second cinematic vehicle linked to Lloyd and the concept of time travel.
So, if you’re keeping count, Christopher Lloyd has had a DeLorean stolen for time travel and a Klingon Bird-of-Prey that went on to slingshot through time. Two “vehicles,” two unforgettable performances, and a whole lot of cinematic fun.
Time-travel fans, movie buffs, and trivia lovers—this is one quirky piece of cinema history you’ll definitely want to remember!
