Oh thank you! 38 years later and I can rest easy for poor Michael J. Fox’s head. The hairs on my neck are still going to stand up when I see that scene though.

I believe in the commentary - which I listened to quite a while ago, mind you - he drops his head onto a safety mat painted to match the road and the sound is an egg hitting a table.

oh MANNNNN. i know that scene very well, as BTTF is one of my favorite movies ever and it gets me every time. the sound when his skull hits the pavement is bone chilling for me.

I guess back in the 80s it was a little more "put some ice on it and laugh at the stars circling around his head" and now its more - yikes thats a brain injury, but it still gets me pretty bad.

EDIT: to be clear, im talking about him hitting his head on the pavement in the movie, not the stuntman.

It was closer to 6-7 during the finding Sophia arc, which may not seem like a lot in retrospect, but contextually it was half the entire show at that point.

The first season was 6 episodes, and the premiere a year later had them spend the next 6 at Hershel's (which they continued to spend time at until it burns in the season finale)
