Back to the..wait a minute!
The 1985 doc had the knowledge of the terrorist shooting him, so he got himself a bullet proof vest to save himself. But instead of making sure there was extra plutonium in the time machine, he made Marty and his 50's counterpart jump through all these totally unnessary hoops with the clocktower and lightning bolt. Why?
Maybe it would have been a very short and uninteresting movie otherwise.

If you recall from the movie, Doc had acquired a box of the plutonium from the terrorists. He obviously had the foresight to wear the bullet proof vest because he knew from viewing the video tape in the 1950's that he was going to be shot in 1983.
So, he wore the vest and it saved his own life.
So, Doc thinks of himself.
He doesn't seem to think of Marty is my point.
In fact, the more you think about it, the more it seems Marty was being used in a very manipulative way by the Doc to do his bidding, and really just so the Doc could get laid in the 1800's.
They had plenty of plutonium, but he forgot to check for purity until it was too late and then he found out he'd been sold some shit stepped on with so much Mannitol it only bumped them a little ways each time they tried to come back...

All Doc had to do was put some extra plutonium in the car and Marty could have gotten back without a problem. Doc had to know what was going to happen, as evidenced by his wearing the bullet proof vest
His actions are therefore suspect.
Why make Marty and his own 1950's counterpart jump through so many hoops? I understand that it would have been very boring otherwise...Im just sayin....

If Marty finds the plutonium to get him back immediately, then he doesn't seek out the doc, doesn't somehow figure out how to wire the camcorder into the 1955 television, and he doesn't get to see that he gets shot... therefore, doesn't wear the bulletproof vest, and still dies in 1985.

He also knew that the lightning/clock tower trick worked out just fine. Why waste plutonium?

Further proof that Doc was just out for himself and his own well being!
