This is a normal post How can that be a hoax?
It is a little easy to check, no?
BTW, the day he leaves in the first film is Oct 26 1985. The first destination date was Nov 5 1955.
In the second film, they arrive in Oct 21 2015 at 4something in the morning.
In the end, he comes back on the 27 Oct 1985. But the film was released in 1990, so he actually ends up in the past.

This is a normal post I had a discussion on reddit about this yesterday.
The date the film was released was 4th July 1985 so you're late.

The date they went into the future was 21 Octobber 2015 so, again you're wrong.

There is no mention of 5th July in the film at all.

One more thing to be pedantic. Someone re watched the 1st film last night and says the date set on the time machine to go into the future (buit didn;t) were set to 26th October 2010
