It's an academically accepted pronunciation of the word "gigawatts". The directors/writers simply heard it pronounced this way at a seminar and spelled it with a J in the script.

[Qoute]Doc Brown (played by the fairly talented, but underated chistopher loyd) mispronounced the word in the movie. [/Qoute]

Nope sorry but they spelled it Jigawatt in the script, it was a movie mistake not and actors mistake

two things
1) it IS technically gigawatts, the problem, "your mom," (cute, btw >>; ) is Doc Brown (played by the fairly talented, but underated chistopher loyd) mispronounced the word in the movie. (think gigabytes, gigahertz, gigajoules, etc...). whether it was an accident or the director/writers/etc thought it sounded more science-fictiony...who can say? not trying to be a smartbutt here, just clearing that up ^^;
2)does anyone know if this was built from an actual dmc-10? or was it some other car that's been modified to look like one? i missed the original article and i was wondering, cuz ive always wondered if you could do that with something like, sayyyyy, a chevet (i know im mispelling that, sorry) or something.
