The release also included the public debut of footage of Stoltz portraying Marty McFly.{{efn|Attributed to multiple references:<ref name="CNNGaleInterview" /><ref name="HomeMediaIndy" /><ref name="HomeMediaEngaget" />}} For its 35th{{spaces}}anniversary in 2020, a remastered [[4K resolution|4K]] [[Ultra-high-definition television|Ultra HD]] version was released on Blu-ray and [[Ultra HD Blu-ray]].
