De acordo com essa peça da UProxx, Michael J. Fox pediu pessoalmente ao coreógrafo do filme, Brad Jeffries, que o ajudasse a imitar seus próprios heróis; Eddie Van Halen, Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix e Angus Young
It was Fox who suggested which rock artists to emulate when Marty busts out the anachronistic guitar tricks that shock the teenagers of the 1950s. The script called for Marty to imitate Little Richard, Elvis, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson. Writer-producer Bob Gale notes today that those musicians were referenced only as a guide. Fox chose to emulate his own guitar heroes – Eddie Van Halen, Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix and Angus Young – and Jeffries helped him get the moves right for each one.
...
After about three or four rehearsals with Jeffries, Fox had those rock star moves down (including Berry”s famed duckwalk, which Jeffries noted “is not easy”), and it was time to do the scene for the cameras at the church in Hollywood. One problem: the stage in that gym was much smaller than Jeffries and Fox expected. It took some adjusting to get the knee slide across the compact stage just right, but Fox pulled it off, giving fans a movie music moment that both thrills just as rock concerts do and brings on the laughter – Marty sliding across the tiny school stage with his Angus Young moves turned out to be another of the film”s golden comedy moments.
