I think what most people miss on "Back to the Future Part III" is that despite the huge western homage and setting of the film, and how it just settles down into a slow pace for 1885, the film is basically a reflective and sentimental journey for the characters. It doesn't have the hype and suspense of "Back to the Future Part I", nor the outrageous - yet brilliant - shocks, double-whammies, and mind-boggling plot twists of "Back to the Future Part II". Instead, "Back to the Future Part III" delivers a long, western-themed farewell for Marty, Doc, and the rest of the characters. It is indeed the simplest and least dramatic of the three - there's no denying that. But if looked upon with the right attitude, one can really grow to love it. The whole hype and interest of Marty and Doc's time-traveling has waned, and that wistful remark where Doc says at the Town Festival how it's impressive that they're there to witness the clock dedication really hits home to me as the viewer, and Doc's weary, tired declaration that once they return to 1985 they'll destroy this infernal machine: "Traveling through time has become much too painful.". Everything in the film is very reflective... but it actually works in this case. In one way or another, this happens to make "Back to the Future Part III" one of the most calm, restful movies/film finales a series could ever ask for. Perfect to watch before falling asleep... as I, myself, have done that many times! LOL
The only problem with that is, if Doc Brown had remained stuck in the past... I think it would have been harder for Gale and Zemeckis to convince Doc's fans to accept "Back to the Future - Part III" as being the end. I know that time-traveling train is a tricky thing to explain, but in the long run, by letting viewers at least know that Doc can come and go as he pleases, it took care of Doc's fans feeling like the story had to go on.
I simply love all movies as one. you cant really take them apart and only love one specific film. (even if there was no sequel planed back in 1985). Part 3 ist a really good conclusion. I love the dialogues and acting.
I agree...it's a very satisfying wrap up...especially all the references to part 2 (e.g., the flying Dolorean); finally getting to see the restored 1985 and Jennifer again, plus the whole "You're Fired"/Marty's drag race being resolved. There's more, like the For a Few Dollars gimmick with the bullet proof vest that was foreshadowed in part 2 when Biff was in the hot tub watching tv. And Doc coming back to get Einstein is so cool :)
For me the third installment is the best one,I fucking love Mad Dog Tannen in it he is funny yet menacing definitely the best of the Biffs,it was simple compared to the others but it made me feel the best when it finished.
Your ending segment with Heuy Lewis and the News' Power of Love is a fine piece of editing. You paired the lyrics up with the scenes from the film very well.
Bloody useless I was just about to make the comment about how the song seems to fit part III even better than the original. In fact, the whole film is almost a case study in the power of love. Not only the bond of friendship between Marty and Doc, but the romance between Doc and Clara. Yes indeed, the power of love.
It's amazing how many people found this movie weak as a kid and then gained appreciation for it as time marched on. I'm one of those people. lol I find it hard to dislike anything about the whole trilogy. Each one works so well in different areas. We'll never see anything like BTTF again.
Same here. I went from "Not enough time traveling, uninteresting time period for time traveling, boring old biddy" to "Doc needs a babe badly that's a compromise between Marty's age and his own and Clara is a great addition to the team; A 2045 time travel would have been a disaster when 2015 already missed obvious marks several times with flying cars, phone booths, heavy Japanese cultural influence except for anime, and bright color fashion; The only other time period Marty could have visited other than 1885 would be visiting a teen Doc in the 1930s, with yet another alternative 1985 universe, something the BTTF computer game has did incredibly well, but it would take two more movies, so this one is a nice early wrap-up."
One of my favorite moments in the third film, is Buford's reaction to the meaning of "forfeit"... "Uh, it means that you win without a fight." "Without shootin'? He can't do that - HEY, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!"
When I was a kid, *Back to the Future Part III* was my favorite of the trilogy. I wasn't really a western fan, but I enjoyed its humor, sense of adventure and Doc's romantic story-arc... it was very sweet and appealing.

@@catguy4996 I agree; it's more sentimental (in a good way) and returns to the simplicity of staying mostly in one year of history. Still, the best goosebumps scene for me is in part 2, after Marty escapes Biff and Delorean gets struck by lightning. Marty says "there's only one man that can help me," and we return to the climax of Part 1 (and a twist of Marty running in the background).
BTTF Part III is up there with Return of the Jedi, Last Crusade, Goldfinger, Return of the King, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Die Hard with a Vengeance as one of the best 3rd entries in movie series/franchise ever made.
This is a great review. I feel part 3 doesn't get as much love as it deserves. All three films are classics in my eyes, but 3 definitely tops 2 for having a grounded setting and more cohearent narrative. I adore the train scenes because so rarely do we see actors on an actual moving train anymore, hell we barely see actual steam locomotives in film at all these days. Nowadays their always cheap studio built props that don't even look authentic. And for the actors, it's always a soundstage with CGI backdrops and you never really feel like the characters are actually there. My friend Larry Jensen is an author of books about trains in movies. His most recent "Hollywoods Railroads: Volume Two: Sierra Railroad" goes into great detail on the "Back to the Future 3" train scenes and all the hundreds movies and shows the exact same locomotive and cars were in before said film.
I've recently come back to your channel after a long absence due to the recent pandemic and I must say, your reviews has greatly improved since I last saw it. I really enjoy watching your content. Its not easy catering to everyone but if there ever was a review channel that earned my respect. It would definitely be yours. Thank you Doc.
Fun Fact, In the drag race seen towards the end of part 3, The guy playing Needles is actually Michael Balzary aka Flea, the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The TellTale video game is the closest thing to an actual sequel I think we're ever going to get. Marty goes back to the 1920s during prohibition and befriends Doc as a teenager, but accidentally causes him to fall in love with a really evil woman who wants to steer Doc away from his science obsession. Without that, the time machine wouldn't exist in the first place. The writing was very clever and polished, with lots of throwbacks to events in the movies. It's something worth checking out if you always wanted to see a 4th BTTF movie. ruclips.net/video/3blzGwd4xLg/видео.html
You rock, dude!... I listen to your reviews (like a radio show) while Im working designing. :D (and I still have SO MANY reviews to listen about my 80s/90s movies) THANKS!!! :D
Great wrap-up retrospective on these movies. I own them on DVD and love them. I have a dear friend who bears quite a resemblance to Mary Steenburgen. Loved this trilogy of retrospectives.
It's almost like he manufactured his argument to play up his and Gene's conflict. I can't imagine Ebert really being that committed to arguing against a movie's tonal consistency.
I always mean to comment on every one of these videos but I'm at work 90% of the time I must reiterate how much I enjoy this series if retrospectives thank you so much for all the time you put into these I have already lost count on how many I have watched.
Extremely well produced, written, and executed. Your take on these films touch on familiar territory that we can all relate to. When people tend to enjoy certain things from certain films and how we can look back on them and see what we think now. Very nostalgic and witty.
"marty runs afoul of buford" that made me chuckle.. like olde english speak. the huey lewis music added to clips from part 3 at the end really goes well together - good job editing that together.
Hello Carl, thank you for expressing your thoughts on my videos and for subscribing. yeah i do frequently use Siskel and Ebert. I often use them to show all media related to the movie from the time. There are many reviews which i don't use them. Some viewers love watching the old siskel and ebert and some don't. I can't please everyone! lol
Thanks man. yeah i worked hard on getting it right. I was most pleased with the edit of the lyrics to the scene where Doc see's clara at the festival. Timed perfectly. ;)
Oliver Harper Ouch, one of the few films I nearly turned off midway through. Definitely not a cinematic great. Though I'm sure, as with all your reviews, you'll give great context and background and make it interesting.
I personally found this my favorite film in the series. It was the first one I was introduced to at a very young age. This is the only western I ever enjoyed which combined with already a great story. To me the film is perfect and I actually have the rare Hot Wheels 1955 Delorean currently sitting on my layout. I try to make watching this film almost a tradition for me every other Friday based on my schedule. It seems that I am the odd man out seeing as how all my other friends like the first movie in the franchise. Everyone talks about the first two films. The first one for being the original and the second for creating the hover board revelation that we still haven't achieved somehow. Anyways, loving your content ;)
well thats fair enough, you don't have to listen to them and can just skip forward. Some of my viewers like listening to their opinions and some don't. These videos are a retrospective so i like include everything from around the time of the films release.
This is my favorite movie trilogy! I've watched these movies so many times for so many years and still watch them to this day. I remember when I saw part III on the big screen and I liked it a lot. It was the first and only bttf film I saw in the theatres. I'm glad this franchise stayed as a trilogy and ended on a high note. :)
I think Part 3 is mainly perceived as a weaker film because the first two have a much tighter rhythm and pace. This one felt more relaxed with less urgency. The first two had pretty major problems that required Doc & Marty to act quickly to resolve them. In Part 3, they don't have much plot to deal with until the showdown with Buford and hijacking the train, which didn't require the critical accuracy of the lightning strike. The film just slows down too much instead of building momentum.
Another amazing review from my favorite channel on RUclips! Just broke my fibula 3 weeks ago and I can't do much except watching movies and pretty much everytime I watch one of your reviews, I pop the DVD in to watch it again :) cheers from Canada!
This is the only one of the three I saw at the cinema (on my birthday no less) and I always loved it. As for the ending with the train I figured that with the luxury of time (they were in a rush to get back to future before Doc got shot) and the added assistance from Clara, who is shown to be very clever, that Doc would make the new time machine eventually (he has kids so it could have taken him years to construct it). We don't have the materials to make a time machine now so I can suspend disbelief for the joy of that final shot of the flying train which mirrors the final shot of the first film. I always like it if trilogies can bring back something from the first part as it makes it feel satisfying.
I've been binge watching these retrospectives for the last 3 days Oliver and I have to say I love this series, it's far more superior to what other creators have done (that I have seen so far anyway). Watching this though brought back so many fond memories of how much I love this film series. Thanks so much for covering BTTF, it's one of those film series that always has a special place in everyones hearts, and I really envy those who have not seen or have no interest in the series. I have to say though, your choice to overlay The Power of Love into a montage over the 3 movies is so relevant to the overall subject of the series being Love and family. It would be fantastic if you tied all 3 reviews into 1 playlist though if you haven't already, especially with how you ended this video bud. Keep up the amazing work Ollie, thankyou!
I am a big fan of the Back to the Future trilogy. I have nothing but a warm spot for the first film, which had the perfect element of science fiction, comedy, and heart. I am also in the minority that enjoyed Part II, and loved it's corner into darker territory. I do agree that a little of the heart of the first film was missing in the second, which was why Back to the Future Part III was a worthy conclusion.
I always remember watching this in a Cinema while on holiday. I was absolutely busting for a piss but I didn't want to miss the ending so I held on like mad. It ended and I did probably the stupidest half run half cross legged hobble ever. I swear I was pissing for like 2 minutes, felt that long anyway. Strange what causes us to remember things!
Ryan is stuck in 93 -Yeah, I think we have all been there. Especially back then. It wasn’t like today. Where the movies are streaming, in a few weeks. You had to wait for the VHS release.
I always hit the like button before I even start your videos. Obviously I can foresee the future, because I know I'm going to love it before I even see it!
There's a sense of adventure with the Back to the Future films that you just don't get with these modern "blockbuster" type movies. The time travel bits are a part of the story, but they aren't the story. At it's heart is the enduring friendship between Marty and Doc Brown. Look at Marty's tearful reaction in part 1 where he thinks he's too late to save Doc, and the great reaction at 0:33 when they see each other again.
Aside from all the paradoxes, the big hole for BTTF3 was Doc saying petrol didn't exist in 1885, when it did and was readily available. The issue is that gasoline is a by-product of kerosene, which was manufactured in HUGE quantities in the 1800's to fuel lamps Etc in a pre electricity America. they just dumped the gasoline as it was worthless to them. So Doc would have known the potential of gasoline, even if the manufacturers didn't. So could have gotten tons of the stuff cheaply.
(4:29) - (4:32) that scream! Instantly I thought of the villain in Roger Rabbit when he was being rolled over by a steam roller or something. A quick Google search and...i didn't know that Christopher Lloyd also played as him! Mind blown!
Thanks for the review. I love this series and can always justify the ending with Doc using the time machine from the mine to get parts and put it back later. Also, he has the hoverboard to use for parts. Part 4 can just be the cartoon that was made with Doc raising his kids in the 'burbs.
Wait. In the first movie, Marty said, "This sucker is nuclear!?!" and Doc said: "No! This sucker is eletrical!" meaning the car. So why does it need gasoline!?
marty and doc were talking about the flux capacitor, not the car. The Flux capacitor ran on plutonium which generated enough electricity for the flux capacitor to time travel.
Mrcool210 Yes, but for The flux capacitor to work, they need the car to movie at 88, which it won't do without gasoline, so, what the hell is eletrical, it was obvious Doc was reffering to the car as being electric.
When you put flash on camera, you can turn it on even if the camera is off. For flash to fire, it needs to be turned on (it has its on power source), and it needs, lets say a signal or a "boost" from camera. When you press a button to take a photo, flash gets the signal and fires from its own power source. Same here, flux capacitor has its own power, but it needs the velocity. Those two things combined create a portal, a jump. So Doc puts it on a car. Flux gives the power, car gives the speed. When car makes 88 mph, flux gets the signal and "fires".
Nuclear 'power' still just generates electricity. Doc even explains that he needs 1.21 gigawatts of power. This is roughly the same power output as a nuclear power station. That's why the Delorean in the first film runs on plutonium, because it's one of the only ways Doc could generate such huge power outputs. At some point, Doc went forward and (probably when he had the hover conversion done) had the power plant replaced with the cold fusion generator, making the Delorean able to generate the power much more easily. The car however still runs on regular petrol ('gas' in the US) in order to get up to speed because it's just a regular combustion engine. So no, Doc does not mean the car is electrical - he means the flux capacitor is electrical and this power is supplied by the plutonium power plant.
Bit of trivia for you - Mary Steenburgen’s Clara is a variation on her role in Nick “Wrath Of Khan” Meyer’s “Time After Time”, where she enjoys a present day romance with Malcolm McDowell’s HG Wells.
Thank you Mr. Oliver Harper for making great Reviews. They are always full of info about the movie, the actors, the making of... and everything is presented nice and incredibly interesting. I just saw Back to the Future Trilogy and that made me want to see your reviews again. Back to the Future was the movie that really enchanted me into the movie world. I saw Back to the Future part 2 and 3 at the cinema 1990. 26 years ago ... hmm ... it is unbelievable that the 3 movies still has the amazing magic!
Woah. Loved the way you edited the ending to "Power of Love". The beats flowed to the footage very nicely. I'd love to see you do a montage of the entire trilogy like that.
He couldn fix the Delorian,but it would take him years.They only had one week to do it. The train was probabily being built for many years,considering they even got 2 kids while the time-train was built.
Yep, Doc and Clara's kids are about six and eight years old when he comes back to fetch Einstein; the animated series picks up about two years after that.
You forgot to mention the deleted scene where Tatten and his gang kills the sherffic and leaves his son to witness the whole thing. That scene was so dark and out of nowhere that it doesn't match the rest of the film.
Excellent music video there at the end of the video. You really matched up the lyrics with visually from the entire trilogy quite well. Personally, I’d like to see that as a short little stand alone video that I could forward to some friends.
Did you know that Michael J. Fox almost died in the production of this movie? The bit where he is strung up by the neck by the noose was actually set up wrong, as they usually have a quick release dummy rope for safety, but for some reason it was not checked again before filming started. Fox gasping for air was for real, the crew were really amazed at his realistic acting skills, until one of the crew noticed the blood rushing out of his face and they quickly cut him down. Thankfully due to the crew member realising what was happening and his fast reactions, Fox ended up having a longer life!
Thanks for this Oliver. I was 12 years old when I saw this in the theater and it became my favorite of the 3. Part 2 left me wanting more and this third and final chapter was perfect.
It's not addressed in the film, but Doc would likely have advised against messing with the Delorean he left in the cave. He'd already sealed it up, and breaking it open again risked it being discovered before Marty and 1955 Doc could retrieve it. There's also the problem that they had blown a key part of the Delorean's fuel system trying to use spirits to run it, and they didn't have that time as Doc was getting shot in only a few days. I did like the little detail that the lightning strike not only blew a key part of the time circuits requiring 1955 doc to fix, but it destroyed the flying circuits. If they could've flown it like in Part II, most of Part III wouldn't have happened!
Growing Part III was my least favorite of the series that I loved. But now as I am older I feel Part III trumps Part II. It is indeed a great story and I appreciate this fill much more at 29 than I did when I was a kid. Spot on assessment.
Mary had also been in Time After Time w/ Malcolm McDowell, which adds a twist to her role in BTTF3 because of the H.G. Wells connection. Please do a review of Time After Time soon.
This was the first one I saw and remembered. My family had taped its broadcast, and I watched it over and over again (with hilarious censorship at times, like Marty saying "He's an idiot" when his mouth clearly said "asshole"). I then saw Part II (also taped from the broadcast) and finished watching the films with Part I (on a VHS I found at Goodwill). Overall, my favorite is STILL Part II to this day. I love the more adventurous feel to it as opposed to the more romantic tones of the first and third films, and it's a great story involving the dangers of time travel and what somebody must do to fix their mistakes without being detected. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE period films, and the other movies clearly put more focus on that...but the story of Part II is the most exciting for me.
I can appreciate the 3rd installment because I felt it truly cemented Doc and Marty’s friendship. The scene at the end feels special due to the fact that their time together is up, but they will forever remain a huge part of each other’s lives.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the part where Tannin spins his revolver back and forth like a pro gunslinger and then holsters it as a memorable moment. I like it because they hold on the shot long enough to let the audience know it had been Tom Wilson spinning the gun. It’s nice to see the director give an actor a moment like that when they have been playing a goofball villain for a year+
yes it is me at the centre of the picture. hahaha I look like Chris Nolan?.Someone recently said i resemble a thin Tom Hardy! Im working on a new picture today.
RE: The complaint possibly levelled at BTTF2 going back to the 1955 setting used in the first film (mentioned at roughly 1:50). According to the 250th issue of Empire magazine, which covered the BTTF trilogy, Bob Gale was originally going to have Marty going to 1967 in Part II to repair the damage done by Biff giving the sports almanac to his younger self in that year, rather than 1955. He thought it would have been interesting to have Marty visiting the 1960s. It was, however, Robert Zemeckis, who acknowledged the fact that they were in a unique situation whereby they could do what no other sequel could do: go back to the first film, this time from a completely different point of view. That is how the revisiting of 1955 came about, with the added pressure of Doc and Marty having to be extremely careful not to cause any potential paradoxes by encountering their other selves. This meant that, as Zemeckis said, “the audience can re-enjoy the first movie again!”
I will make note of your suggested changes. :) I did actually get an email from someone who may have just read your comments telling me not to change my formula. If i review a film and there was a computer game released then i will include it. I have included more Siskel & Ebert recently because there is reviews available for that particular film, some people have said use other reviewers, well i would if i could find any lol. But anyway cheers for the feedback. :)
The key with the train is he says he's already been the future with it. That's why it works looking so stunning :)...you're right all 3 of them are really good movies and it's one of the best theologies made. And ivecalways appreciated part 2 alot too.
I liked BTF3 much more than part 2. The time travel paradoxes are put aside to enjoy a pretty good western adventure. Its still nowhere near as good as part 1, but its a lot better than part 2.
You forget Marty left Doc in 1885 with a working 2015 hoverboard. Maybe the technology in that device was enough to help him create another time machine 🤷♂️

I'm now on a marathon of watching every retrospective video made by you!
keep up great work!
Thanks buddy!
Oliver Harper Thank you for making awesome content!
Same here, so glad I found your channel!
Thats exactly what Ive been doing. Watching over 7 hours straight so far.
Zlad! Vevo
Same here. this is awesome !!
Oliver Harper, your reviews are the absolute best on youtube. I love the compilation at the end of each reviews. Very classy!
***** Thanks a lot Tom!
This is a great review. I feel part 3 doesn't get as much love as it deserves. All three films are classics in my eyes, but 3 definitely tops 2 for having a grounded setting and more cohearent narrative.
I adore the train scenes because so rarely do we see actors on an actual moving train anymore, hell we barely see actual steam locomotives in film at all these days. Nowadays their always cheap studio built props that don't even look authentic. And for the actors, it's always a soundstage with CGI backdrops and you never really feel like the characters are actually there.
My friend Larry Jensen is an author of books about trains in movies. His most recent "Hollywoods Railroads: Volume Two: Sierra Railroad" goes into great detail on the "Back to the Future 3" train scenes and all the hundreds movies and shows the exact same locomotive and cars were in before said film.
I've recently come back to your channel after a long absence due to the recent pandemic and I must say, your reviews has greatly improved since I last saw it. I really enjoy watching your content. Its not easy catering to everyone but if there ever was a review channel that earned my respect. It would definitely be yours. Thank you Doc.
Fun Fact, In the drag race seen towards the end of part 3, The guy playing Needles is actually Michael Balzary aka Flea, the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
josh storms i knew he looked familiar
Flea is actually in the car (truck) in the first one, too.
@@mikesutliff9142 Flea was also in the 2nd film as Marty's co-worker
Cool! I can't remember that. Have to look for it.
That crazy face he makes after putting the truck in gear kills me!
The TellTale video game is the closest thing to an actual sequel I think we're ever going to get. Marty goes back to the 1920s during prohibition and befriends Doc as a teenager, but accidentally causes him to fall in love with a really evil woman who wants to steer Doc away from his science obsession. Without that, the time machine wouldn't exist in the first place. The writing was very clever and polished, with lots of throwbacks to events in the movies. It's something worth checking out if you always wanted to see a 4th BTTF movie.

Thxn! Sounds awesome!
Actually Doc said we could repair the car but it would take too long, they were on a time limit.
You rock, dude!... I listen to your reviews (like a radio show) while Im working designing. :D
(and I still have SO MANY reviews to listen about my 80s/90s movies) THANKS!!! :D
demm9000 Thanks a lot buddy!. Glad to hear they're keeping you entertained while you work.
Great wrap-up retrospective on these movies. I own them on DVD and love them. I have a dear friend who bears quite a resemblance to Mary Steenburgen. Loved this trilogy of retrospectives.
God I love Olivers work, so good to listen to/watch.
I loved the ending montage! I watched it 3 times for enjoyment lol. Nicely done.
same here that's the reason I enjoyed this film
yeah Part 2 used to be my favourite but over time i became less fond of it but its still great. Part 1 will always be the best.
I loved Part III. It has two of my favorite things in it; DeLoreans and old steam trains.
Ebert was needlessly nitpicky on this one.
It's almost like he manufactured his argument to play up his and Gene's conflict. I can't imagine Ebert really being that committed to arguing against a movie's tonal consistency.
El Duderino I agree with ebert
Honestly can see where he's coming from. It looks too much like Hollywood Western and not actual western.
Do it that way: If critics say, the movie is good, avoid it; if they say, it sucks, go for it!
ebert has always been a fuckhole.
I always mean to comment on every one of these videos but I'm at work 90% of the time I must reiterate how much I enjoy this series if retrospectives thank you so much for all the time you put into these I have already lost count on how many I have watched.
Thanks!. Glad you enjoyed it.
the ending really works well with the power of love song imagine the whole movie with the same soundtrack and it would corrosponded better
Extremely well produced, written, and executed. Your take on these films touch on familiar territory that we can all relate to. When people tend to enjoy certain things from certain films and how we can look back on them and see what we think now. Very nostalgic and witty.
Thank you very much for the supportive and generous comment!. :)
This is one of the movies that I can watch over and over and still enjoy it as it were the first time.
classic & very engrossing to watch...really if you watch over and over, it ne ver gets old...
"marty runs afoul of buford" that made me chuckle.. like olde english speak. the huey lewis music added to clips from part 3 at the end really goes well together - good job editing that together.
Hello Carl, thank you for expressing your thoughts on my videos and for subscribing. yeah i do frequently use Siskel and Ebert. I often use them to show all media related to the movie from the time. There are many reviews which i don't use them. Some viewers love watching the old siskel and ebert and some don't. I can't please everyone! lol
Oh, the Time Train at the end. I got so excited seeing that, you could've peeled me off the ceiling! What a great moment
The producer Bob Gale said in the DVD commentary that it was a mistake casting Lea Thompson as Marty's ancestor.
Thanks man. yeah i worked hard on getting it right. I was most pleased with the edit of the lyrics to the scene where Doc see's clara at the festival. Timed perfectly. ;)
You do such a wonderful job on the montage at the end of every video you do. Keep up the phenomenal work, Oliver.
Thanks Johnny!. Im uploading my review of Batman & Robin today be sure to check out the end montage to that!. Should hopefully blow your mind! lol
Oliver Harper Ouch, one of the few films I nearly turned off midway through. Definitely not a cinematic great. Though I'm sure, as with all your reviews, you'll give great context and background and make it interesting.
better of the sequels highly underrated
This movie always got a bad rap. Its a damn fine sequel and a perfect conclusion! Great review as always, Olly.
Yes, I did see it again and think this one is meant to be more enjoyed by adults than the first two. Loved it!
I personally found this my favorite film in the series. It was the first one I was introduced to at a very young age. This is the only western I ever enjoyed which combined with already a great story. To me the film is perfect and I actually have the rare Hot Wheels 1955 Delorean currently sitting on my layout. I try to make watching this film almost a tradition for me every other Friday based on my schedule. It seems that I am the odd man out seeing as how all my other friends like the first movie in the franchise. Everyone talks about the first two films. The first one for being the original and the second for creating the hover board revelation that we still haven't achieved somehow. Anyways, loving your content ;)
Thank you very much!. I set out to do something different with reviews on RUclips. Keep it balanced and educational.
Thanks for the feedback guys!. glad you enjoyed it!. :)
Wilson is the highlight of this one by far. So quotable!
well thats fair enough, you don't have to listen to them and can just skip forward. Some of my viewers like listening to their opinions and some don't. These videos are a retrospective so i like include everything from around the time of the films release.
The train is in Universal Studios Orlando.
This is my favorite movie trilogy! I've watched these movies so many times for so many years and still watch them to this day. I remember when I saw part III on the big screen and I liked it a lot. It was the first and only bttf film I saw in the theatres. I'm glad this franchise stayed as a trilogy and ended on a high note. :)
I think Part 3 is mainly perceived as a weaker film because the first two have a much tighter rhythm and pace. This one felt more relaxed with less urgency. The first two had pretty major problems that required Doc & Marty to act quickly to resolve them. In Part 3, they don't have much plot to deal with until the showdown with Buford and hijacking the train, which didn't require the critical accuracy of the lightning strike. The film just slows down too much instead of building momentum.
Another amazing review from my favorite channel on RUclips! Just broke my fibula 3 weeks ago and I can't do much except watching movies and pretty much everytime I watch one of your reviews, I pop the DVD in to watch it again :) cheers from Canada!
This is the only one of the three I saw at the cinema (on my birthday no less) and I always loved it. As for the ending with the train I figured that with the luxury of time (they were in a rush to get back to future before Doc got shot) and the added assistance from Clara, who is shown to be very clever, that Doc would make the new time machine eventually (he has kids so it could have taken him years to construct it). We don't have the materials to make a time machine now so I can suspend disbelief for the joy of that final shot of the flying train which mirrors the final shot of the first film. I always like it if trilogies can bring back something from the first part as it makes it feel satisfying.
A big part of what makes this movie so good is its sense of humor. It just is such a fun film.
I've been binge watching these retrospectives for the last 3 days Oliver and I have to say I love this series, it's far more superior to what other creators have done (that I have seen so far anyway). Watching this though brought back so many fond memories of how much I love this film series. Thanks so much for covering BTTF, it's one of those film series that always has a special place in everyones hearts, and I really envy those who have not seen or have no interest in the series. I have to say though, your choice to overlay The Power of Love into a montage over the 3 movies is so relevant to the overall subject of the series being Love and family. It would be fantastic if you tied all 3 reviews into 1 playlist though if you haven't already, especially with how you ended this video bud. Keep up the amazing work Ollie, thankyou!
I am a big fan of the Back to the Future trilogy. I have nothing but a warm spot for the first film, which had the perfect element of science fiction, comedy, and heart. I am also in the minority that enjoyed Part II, and loved it's corner into darker territory. I do agree that a little of the heart of the first film was missing in the second, which was why Back to the Future Part III was a worthy conclusion.
"If this was just a Western..." What a dumb thing to say. As Siskel said, "But it ISN'T just a Western!" XD
I always remember watching this in a Cinema while on holiday. I was absolutely busting for a piss but I didn't want to miss the ending so I held on like mad.
It ended and I did probably the stupidest half run half cross legged hobble ever.
I swear I was pissing for like 2 minutes, felt that long anyway.
Strange what causes us to remember things!
Ryan is stuck in 93 -Yeah, I think we have all been there. Especially back then. It wasn’t like today. Where the movies are streaming, in a few weeks. You had to wait for the VHS release.
I always hit the like button before I even start your videos. Obviously I can foresee the future, because I know I'm going to love it before I even see it!
There's a sense of adventure with the Back to the Future films that you just don't get with these modern "blockbuster" type movies. The time travel bits are a part of the story, but they aren't the story. At it's heart is the enduring friendship between Marty and Doc Brown. Look at Marty's tearful reaction in part 1 where he thinks he's too late to save Doc, and the great reaction at 0:33 when they see each other again.
Aside from all the paradoxes, the big hole for BTTF3 was Doc saying petrol didn't exist in 1885, when it did and was readily available.
The issue is that gasoline is a by-product of kerosene, which was manufactured in HUGE quantities in the 1800's to fuel lamps Etc in a pre electricity America. they just dumped the gasoline as it was worthless to them.
So Doc would have known the potential of gasoline, even if the manufacturers didn't. So could have gotten tons of the stuff cheaply.
Perhaps but would he have the proper machinery necessary to refine it into the right octane level suitable for the DeLorean's regular unleaded engine?
(4:29) - (4:32) that scream! Instantly I thought of the villain in Roger Rabbit when he was being rolled over by a steam roller or something. A quick Google search and...i didn't know that Christopher Lloyd also played as him! Mind blown!
Thanks for the review. I love this series and can always justify the ending with Doc using the time machine from the mine to get parts and put it back later. Also, he has the hoverboard to use for parts. Part 4 can just be the cartoon that was made with Doc raising his kids in the 'burbs.
I think i need to watch the entire trilogy again.
Wait. In the first movie, Marty said, "This sucker is nuclear!?!" and Doc said: "No! This sucker is eletrical!" meaning the car. So why does it need gasoline!?
marty and doc were talking about the flux capacitor, not the car. The Flux capacitor ran on plutonium which generated enough electricity for the flux capacitor to time travel.
Mrcool210 Yes, but for The flux capacitor to work, they need the car to movie at 88, which it won't do without gasoline, so, what the hell is eletrical, it was obvious Doc was reffering to the car as being electric.
When you put flash on camera, you can turn it on even if the camera is off. For flash to fire, it needs to be turned on (it has its on power source), and it needs, lets say a signal or a "boost" from camera. When you press a button to take a photo, flash gets the signal and fires from its own power source. Same here, flux capacitor has its own power, but it needs the velocity. Those two things combined create a portal, a jump. So Doc puts it on a car. Flux gives the power, car gives the speed. When car makes 88 mph, flux gets the signal and "fires".
Nuclear 'power' still just generates electricity. Doc even explains that he needs 1.21 gigawatts of power. This is roughly the same power output as a nuclear power station. That's why the Delorean in the first film runs on plutonium, because it's one of the only ways Doc could generate such huge power outputs.
At some point, Doc went forward and (probably when he had the hover conversion done) had the power plant replaced with the cold fusion generator, making the Delorean able to generate the power much more easily.
The car however still runs on regular petrol ('gas' in the US) in order to get up to speed because it's just a regular combustion engine. So no, Doc does not mean the car is electrical - he means the flux capacitor is electrical and this power is supplied by the plutonium power plant.
Ilyana Galen Ah! Thanks.
Retrospective review of Tombstone (1993) come on Oliver make it happen.
Binging all day with this. Great content for movie 🎥 🍿 nerds. So enjoyable
Bit of trivia for you - Mary Steenburgen’s Clara is a variation on her role in Nick “Wrath Of Khan” Meyer’s “Time After Time”, where she enjoys a present day romance with Malcolm McDowell’s HG Wells.
Hey Oliver loves theses vids, keep em coming and I'll keep watching👍
Great job Olly! Love your reviews and BTTF!
Thank you Mr. Oliver Harper for making great Reviews. They are always full of info about the movie, the actors, the making of... and everything is presented nice and incredibly interesting.
I just saw Back to the Future Trilogy and that made me want to see your reviews again.
Back to the Future was the movie that really enchanted me into the movie world.
I saw Back to the Future part 2 and 3 at the cinema 1990.
26 years ago ... hmm ... it is unbelievable that the 3 movies still has the amazing magic!
Woah. Loved the way you edited the ending to "Power of Love". The beats flowed to the footage very nicely. I'd love to see you do a montage of the entire trilogy like that.
He couldn fix the Delorian,but it would take him years.They only had one week to do it.
The train was probabily being built for many years,considering they even got 2 kids while the time-train was built.
Yep, Doc and Clara's kids are about six and eight years old when he comes back to fetch Einstein; the animated series picks up about two years after that.
You forgot to mention the deleted scene where Tatten and his gang kills the sherffic and leaves his son to witness the whole thing. That scene was so dark and out of nowhere that it doesn't match the rest of the film.
I gave you a like! Happy new year!
David Johnson happy year to you too
mad dog saying "... MIGHTY STRONG WORDS, RUNT," will never fail to have me rolling
god, the comedy in this film is perfect
I really love your intros and outros!
Excellent music video there at the end of the video. You really matched up the lyrics with visually from the entire trilogy quite well. Personally, I’d like to see that as a short little stand alone video that I could forward to some friends.
Did you know that Michael J. Fox almost died in the production of this movie? The bit where he is strung up by the neck by the noose was actually set up wrong, as they usually have a quick release dummy rope for safety, but for some reason it was not checked again before filming started. Fox gasping for air was for real, the crew were really amazed at his realistic acting skills, until one of the crew noticed the blood rushing out of his face and they quickly cut him down. Thankfully due to the crew member realising what was happening and his fast reactions, Fox ended up having a longer life!
Your tribute at the end with Power of Love hit me right in the feels. Best films ever.
Thanks for this Oliver. I was 12 years old when I saw this in the theater and it became my favorite of the 3. Part 2 left me wanting more and this third and final chapter was perfect.
This is the GREATEST review you have ever done Olly! For obvious reasons :)
There were two deloreans in 1885, all they had to do was syphon the Delorean the Doc left in the cave for Marty...voila!
it would result in a paradox if they took that one because if they took it then it wouldn't be there for Marty to use in 1955.
I said the fuel dumbass....not the car....
alright calm down dude I read the comment wrong that's all.
Kilman819 lol
It's not addressed in the film, but Doc would likely have advised against messing with the Delorean he left in the cave. He'd already sealed it up, and breaking it open again risked it being discovered before Marty and 1955 Doc could retrieve it. There's also the problem that they had blown a key part of the Delorean's fuel system trying to use spirits to run it, and they didn't have that time as Doc was getting shot in only a few days.
I did like the little detail that the lightning strike not only blew a key part of the time circuits requiring 1955 doc to fix, but it destroyed the flying circuits. If they could've flown it like in Part II, most of Part III wouldn't have happened!
Part 3 has always made me sad because at the end I know that it’s over. We’ll never see these characters again.
Growing Part III was my least favorite of the series that I loved. But now as I am older I feel Part III trumps Part II. It is indeed a great story and I appreciate this fill much more at 29 than I did when I was a kid. Spot on assessment.
so glad a found your channel awesome reviews!!!
Mary had also been in Time After Time w/ Malcolm McDowell, which adds a twist to her role in BTTF3 because of the H.G. Wells connection. Please do a review of Time After Time soon.
*correction: there is only a connection because of time travel, as Part 3 isn't connected to H.G. Wells, but is connected to Jules Verne.
When I was a kid I would only watch part 3 on Sunday afternoons because it just had a Sunday afternoon feel to it.
This was the first one I saw and remembered. My family had taped its broadcast, and I watched it over and over again (with hilarious censorship at times, like Marty saying "He's an idiot" when his mouth clearly said "asshole"). I then saw Part II (also taped from the broadcast) and finished watching the films with Part I (on a VHS I found at Goodwill). Overall, my favorite is STILL Part II to this day. I love the more adventurous feel to it as opposed to the more romantic tones of the first and third films, and it's a great story involving the dangers of time travel and what somebody must do to fix their mistakes without being detected.
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE period films, and the other movies clearly put more focus on that...but the story of Part II is the most exciting for me.
Thanks for your comment, you've been busy today posting on my videos!. lol You agree with Gene Siskel then?.
I can appreciate the 3rd installment because I felt it truly cemented Doc and Marty’s friendship. The scene at the end feels special due to the fact that their time together is up, but they will forever remain a huge part of each other’s lives.
MJ Fox as Seamus McFly looks an awful lot like Eric Stoltz
You have no problem getting back from you and roll out to the y chromosome
Not really
A new ollyh82 review in my youtube log ! Wow, this is heavy ! And it is about BTTF ! Great Scott !
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the part where Tannin spins his revolver back and forth like a pro gunslinger and then holsters it as a memorable moment.
I like it because they hold on the shot long enough to let the audience know it had been Tom Wilson spinning the gun. It’s nice to see the director give an actor a moment like that when they have been playing a goofball villain for a year+
You can tell Thomas F. Wilson is absolutely ecstatic to be there and is having the time of his life.
yes it is me at the centre of the picture. hahaha I look like Chris Nolan?.Someone recently said i resemble a thin Tom Hardy! Im working on a new picture today.
RE: The complaint possibly levelled at BTTF2 going back to the 1955 setting used in the first film (mentioned at roughly 1:50).
According to the 250th issue of Empire magazine, which covered the BTTF trilogy, Bob Gale was originally going to have Marty going to 1967 in Part II to repair the damage done by Biff giving the sports almanac to his younger self in that year, rather than 1955. He thought it would have been interesting to have Marty visiting the 1960s.
It was, however, Robert Zemeckis, who acknowledged the fact that they were in a unique situation whereby they could do what no other sequel could do: go back to the first film, this time from a completely different point of view. That is how the revisiting of 1955 came about, with the added pressure of Doc and Marty having to be extremely careful not to cause any potential paradoxes by encountering their other selves. This meant that, as Zemeckis said, “the audience can re-enjoy the first movie again!”
I will make note of your suggested changes. :) I did actually get an email from someone who may have just read your comments telling me not to change my formula. If i review a film and there was a computer game released then i will include it. I have included more Siskel & Ebert recently because there is reviews available for that particular film, some people have said use other reviewers, well i would if i could find any lol. But anyway cheers for the feedback. :)
'GET HIM OUT OF THAT SHIT..........GET EM'!' best line in the film.
The key with the train is he says he's already been the future with it. That's why it works looking so stunning :)...you're right all 3 of them are really good movies and it's one of the best theologies made. And ivecalways appreciated part 2 alot too.
Great Scott another great review Olly i like all the BTTF films
I haven't seen a review quite like yours before very good thank you
I liked BTF3 much more than part 2. The time travel paradoxes are put aside to enjoy a pretty good western adventure. Its still nowhere near as good as part 1, but its a lot better than part 2.
You forget Marty left Doc in 1885 with a working 2015 hoverboard. Maybe the technology in that device was enough to help him create another time machine 🤷♂️
12:22 - What is this shot? I don't recognize it at all.
