Back to the Future filmed at different gyms for scenes in 1985 vs. 1955. To justify this a school poster points out the 1985 gym is new.

Schools in places with growing populations do stuff like this. My highschool increased its footprint 100% and added 3 gyms. There was the original gym, the new gym and 2 auxiliary gyms.

"Hey, boss...we can't shoot in two different gyms, someone will notice."

"What? Screw that. Nobody pays that close attention."

"But what if this becomes a real genuine classic? I can just picture some guy in oh, maybe 30-35 years spotting this and telling everybody about it on some kind of public notice board."

"Oh, big deal. Even if that happened only a few people would see it."

"What if it's a world-wide message board?"

"How the hell could there be a message board for the whole damned world?"

"I don't maybe with lasers or computers and stuff."

"...Yeah, ok...stick some kind of "New Gym" sign somewhere to explain it."

"Thanks boss."
