Don't know if this counts as an egg, but it's something no one ever seems to notice in a movie they've seen a million times.

Throughout the movie, you will notice several references to things in the past while in the present, and how they changed by events which occured while Marty stumbled throughout 1955.

In the band audition scene in the beginning, the band is playing a Huey Lewis and the News song. The man who tells them they are too loud is Huey Lewis, and the band on stage backing up Marty is none other than the news.

For Mary Car -

In the film, at 8 minutes 45 seconds of the beggining, when Marty walks near cars, just look at the license plate of the green car : it says "FOR MARY". It is a tribute to Mary Radford, personal assistant to second unit director Frank Marshall.

When Marty's girlfriend tells him that Mr. Strickland is looking for him in front of the school, one of the many artworks of graffiti spells out BOB underlined twice. This is a not so obvious reference to the movie's creators Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale.
