Re-opened until the next fire... So much of that town square is just a replica now - it really is a ghost of it's former self. When it was original that was one of the coolest back lots in Hollywood. Part of my college internship was spent at Universal and I use to spend my lunch time in the Town Square set - here are some pics I took when it still looked like Hill Valley from Back To The Future. The courthouse The street leading to the theater where the Delorean went back to the future. The cafe entrance from Back To The Future. Some of the buildings along the theater street. And a wide angle view

So if BTTF 1 and 2 were filmed on this backlot....where was the Hill Valley of the old west shot at? Is it still around? I recently watched the BTTF trilogy and 3 isn't as bad as some people let on. It's not as cool as the first two, but it's still a damn fine film, imo. Great bookend to a solid trilogy too.

A lot of The Incredible Hulk episodes was shot in this square such as the last episode of the series "A Minor Problem"

So if BTTF 1 and 2 were filmed on this backlot....where was the Hill Valley of the old west shot at? Is it still around? The Old west Hill Valley was shot in Sonora Ca - Red Hills Ranch. The buildings for the town were left standing after filming except for the Clock Tower replica which was removed. I heard a lightning strike caught the old west movie set on fire years later and it burned to the ground. I believe the train tracks still may be there. That old Universal Fire curse

Happens about every 10 years for the insurance money, just like clockwork.
