a gigawatt ["jigawatt" in B2TF] is a unit of power used by a Flux-capicitor, amounting to a billion watts.

Actually, it can also be produced by either a nuclear reaction via stolen plutonium or a futuristic garbage disposal that converts trash into fusion energy.

Apparently, the only things they hate more than people stealing their stolen plutonium are kids who speed in their cars and one-hour photo development kiosks. They're not too fond of faulty Russian machine guns or stalling German vans either, but they seem to tollerate those at least.

Michael Jackson is dead, so the film was sort of accurate that we may get a holograph based on his early years.

But Jaws 15? Really?
