For example, I have a mkv 720p x264 back to the future. That came out in 1990. So my question is back then the only recording medium was VHS. How do they manage to spin a 720p out of a VHS ?

The original source is film, not VHS but you can up the resolution with color correction where the software interpolates once the source is in digital form.

@ 1990 being an "old" movie.
As for the question, it's a very good one. I remember back (yeah, I was finishing high school in 1990) and Ted Turner got a lot of flack for colorizing old black-and-white movies. Personally, I lie the fact that these "old" movies are receiving the care they deserve.
Even the original Star Wars movies were re-done (yeah, I saw them all in the theaters) and digitized.
Clear pictures and multi-channel sound is a plus, but the truly great stories can be enjoyed on a 13-inch black-and-white set via the old "rabbit-ear" antennas. I've done that, too.

then they release lower resolution/compressed versions of the movie on bluray, or HDTV broadcast.

I guess anything VHS is considered old!
