A perfect ending to a perfect trilogy.
Indeed ❤
Agreed
No matter how many times I see it, Doc's final words to Marty and Jennifer make me tear up EVERY time. It's a PERFECT summation of a WONDERFUL story.
"What the steampunk?" was a great quote to accompany that ending.
Back to the Future: The Ride is a good cherry on top. There are videos of the old ride on RUclips
My absolute favorite thing about this installment is that this was Christopher Lloyd's first on screen kiss. Also the fact that both Clara and Doc were forever meant for each other because they are both technically supposed to be dead. Doc was meant to get shot by terrorist and Clara was meant to fall in the ravine. They are displaced in time together.
“Your future hasn’t been written yet. Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one.”
Words we all should live by. ❤️
One of the things that make this trilogy so good is that Doc and Marty seem to be as amazed and confused as we are.
And their relationship is fantastic!
Great Scott!
You're one of the ONLY reactors that caught a ton of the Easter Eggs (i.e.: Clayton Ravine > Eastwood Ravine, the manure salesman, the horse dealer/car dealer) - you're amazing!
The Doc and Clara relationship is one of the sweetest in film. It's interesting because each of the three films almost belong to different people. The first film is Marty's, the second is Biff's and the third is Doc's. These films are SO WONDERFUL and the more you watch them, the more you see in them.
The first film is George's. No one is about Marty. Marty represents the spectator.
@@rubengarcia3423can you split hairs, any thinner?
Fun fact: Michael J Fox almost died shooting a close up shot of him hanging from the noose at the courthouse. In one of the takes his hands were in the wrong position and he passed out. Robert Zemeckis quickly noticed and saved him. Fox later started having uncontrolled movement in his pinkie finger, which he thought was tied to this accident. After seeing a neurologist, that's when he learned about his Parkinson's diagnosis.
'fun' fact?? lol probably not the best description of this trivia.
Same exact thing happened to Brenden Fraser while making The Mummy. Everyone thought he was acting but he was really strangling during the hanging scene at the beginning
This is one of those rare cases where all 3 movies in the trilogy are great. Thank you.
If only Claudia Wells was able to stick around as Jennifer though.
@@gibbs615 And Crispin Glover as George McFly.
There's Easter Eggs all thru this series.
Remember, Doc said he spent his entire family fortune making the Time Machine. It's strongly implied that he torched his own mansion for the insurance money, in order to help finance that project. (You have to look closely at the newspaper clippings whenever they're shown.)
At 8 minutes in your review, when Marty says Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this / You haven't heard of him yet, he points to two movie posters on the wall. Those posters are of two movies where Eastwood had bit parts. Yes, Eastwood gave permission for his name and identity to be used in the BTTF films. The stove door bulletproof vest gimmick, the whole bit.
The corny atomic nucleus / cowboy outfit that 1955 Doc made for Marty looks vaguely like something that Buffalo bob Smith (the host of Howdy Doody) might wear.
The bandana that Doc wears over his face when he hijacks... BORROWS... the train is made from an old shirt that we previously saw him wearing when it was newer.
Dub Taylor, Harry Carey Jr., and Pat Buttram (the three barflies), and Matt Clark (the bartender), all had credits in cowboy stuff as well as non-cowboy stuff. Nostalgia touch.
Nothing is left to chance here.
Well, he said "entire family fortune." That would include both liquid and non-liquid assets. Maybe he was short on cash at a critical point in his experiments and the mansion just wasn't selling. Quite a few people believe that that's the import of the news clips that are shown.
He wasn't necessarily against gambling for monetary gain. He was against using time-travel for monetary gain.
He ripped off the Libyan terrorists. Which was a good thing in itself. But then, instead of returning the Plutonium to its rightful owners, he used it to power the DeLorean.
And he stole... BORROWED... the locomotive, and wrecked it, again to power the DeLorean.
And after insisting thruout most of Parts 2 and 3 that the time machine be destroyed because it was dangerous... what does he do at the very end?
So considering his single-mindedness for his invention, yes, I think it's realistically in character.
Also, the stove door/bulletproof vest was from the Clint Eastwood that Biff in the alternate 1985 was watching when Marty confronted him about the sports almanac.
If I remember correctly, it was "A Fistful Of Dollars"
I'll add (at the drive-in location in 1955)... Doc is using the same gun from BTTF 1 (later at the twin pines/lone pine mall parking lot in 1985) and Doc fires all bullets that he had in the gun (at the drive-in in 1955)...and in the 30 years since (up until 1985), Doc never reloaded the gun...Which would also explain his shocked look after he shouted to Marty that he would "draw their fire" and tried to shoot the terrorists with the unloaded gun....nice attention to detail... 😉
There is a big plot hole in the trilogy.... Where did the DeLorean go in the end of part one aka he leaves it near the clock tower door open unattended..... Could that be the plot for another movie or tv series, and yes I know legally they can not be remade.
@@kylereese4822 I don't think that's a plot hole bc we see Doc dropping off Marty at his house at the end of the movie, before he drives off and travels to the Future in it
Besides just being a fun movie, you really can feel the chemistry between Doc and Marty. And this makes this movie like coming home to good friends.
You remember correctly. In Part II when Marty interrupts Biff in the Hot Tub, Biff is watching a Clint Eastwood movie and has a piece of metal under his poncho like Marty does. Biff.even exclaims "Bullet proof vest!", so thats where Marty gets the idea. Its one of many great links to the 2nd movie.
They did write Part II and III together, and was one of the first film sagas to film two back to back.
Biff Tannen is one of the greatest cinematic villains of all time. Tom Wilson plays seven versions of the character. It's insane. You got original timeline 1985 Biff. Then you got 1955 Biff. Then you got good timeline Biff where he's a coward. Then you get future version of coward Biff where he's an old man. Then there's Griff, his nephew. Then there's alternate 1985 billionaire big villain Biff. And then Mad Dog Tannen. It's such a phenomenal performance.
*grandson
He also did the voice for his own Grandma in part 2.
@@fanman1 there you go. Eight versions.
@@juliangrant9718 I do agree with you though and Thomas F. Wilson is great! 🙌🙌
The bartender was the bartender in a movie with Clint Eastwood, "The Out Law Josey Wales."
The Colt Peacemaker salesman was Lyle in Blazing Saddles
The Outlaw Josey Wales is also the movie Biff was watching in Part 2, in the scene where he's in the jacuzzi between two girls when Marty comes in to ask him about the Sports Almanac. That film (and the scene Biff was watching) also provided the inspiration and setup for the metal plate as a bulletproof vest near the end of Part 3, with Biff exclaiming "A bullet-proof vest! Great flick! Great freaking flick! The guy is brilliant!"
@@thormelsted Biff was watching A Fistful Of Dollars
Yes, the musicians were ZZ Top.
And the song is called Double Back. Just like how Marty double backed to the future twice in the sequels.
I have never seen someone react to these films with as sharp an eye as you have! Recognising Statler and Jones was exceptional! I'm only 13 minutes in and I can't wait to see what else you pick up on!
The best part of your reaction was the realization of Strickland's ancestors. lol. I thought you figured it out right off the bat, but to see you realize it after the scene ended was awesome to watch! Love your channel!!
They had a reunion panel not long ago at a comic con. The actor that plays Biff really stole the show during the interviews. Very personable and energetic. I kept thinking, "hey, you're not supposed to be this nice. You're biff" lol
if you notice at the end, it was A. Jones Manure company. in 1955 it was D. Jones. so it is the same family
There are 3 different versions of Clara's fate.
#1 - Neither Doc or Marty in 1885. No one meets her at the train station and she dies while going into town by herself.
#2 - Only Doc in 1885. He meets her at the train station, they fall in love and Doc is killed by Bufford.
#3 - Both Doc and Marty in 1885. Just as it unfolds in the film.
When Doc and Marty are at the train station looking at the map you can see Clara in the background arriving on the train but of course Doc doesn't meet her
@@DaleKingProfile I've watched the trilogy countless times, even watched it together with all the reactors I can find on YT, this is the first time I've known about this after reading your comment (I had to rewind the video to actually confirm it and I was mindblown). This is absolutely awesome, years of watching it 100's of times and I still find something new. Thank you stranger from the internet!
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is Schrödinger's cat. All three realities exist in parallel. Only one is real to the one observing.
Marty and Doc should have forgot that she died in the ravine immediately after they saved her and remember it as Eastwood ravine.
@mau3020 That's not how it works in the BTTF Universe. Remember, in Part 1, Marty was unaware of the changes at the end. He was shocked to see how his family and home had changed. And the Eastwood Ravine change wasn't solidified until the train went over the ravine as Marty went back to 1985.
As the movie opens-
"That house is gorgeous. It's crazy that he went from living in that to a garage."
If you recall, Doc says to Marty at the mall parking lot in BTTF 1 that he spent his entire family fortune inventing time travel. That includes his house.
You're correct, Gasoline was originally a biproduct of oil refinery because the oil that industrialists like Rockefeller were after was for lighting (parafin). Steam engines were still used so they didn't realise the importance of gas until the internal combustion engine.
People were so stupid!!! 😂
Yes--until it was used for internal combustion engines, it was used as a "cleaning agent". (Diesel still makes a great cleaner for greasy/dirty mechanical parts....)
It was indeed ZZ Top. Surprised you'd know them. They wrote a song for the soundtrack called "Doubleback". Also the character Needles (who tries to challenge Marty to a drag race) is played by Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers
I remember reading that Buford Tannen calling Marty "dude" was meant to be a 19th century insult that Marty apparently didn't pick up on because "dude" has a different meaning in 1985. "Dude" was originally short for "doodle" as in the ridiculously dressed Yankee Doodle Dandy.
also the message on the photo Doc gave Marty at the end calls him his "partner in time" which is beautiful
Good grief, woman! I've watched this movie dozens of times, and never picked up on some of the things you're noticing. You're so dialed in, it's awesome! 😄
You set the bar pretty darn high with this reaction trilogy. I very much doubt we'll ever see its equal :)
She’s really good at this
Doc and Clara had no chance to get in the car; not only is the car not designed to carry more than two passengers (remember Jennifer and Marty were crammed tightly into the same seat!), they were already very near the edge of the ravine and the car was already firing up for time travel. So it would've been far too dangerous.
This was just a perfect trilogy and a wild ride throughout, start to finish.
They had no chance getting in the car as the hoverboard can only do about 20mph at best. cant catch up with the delorean going 80mph etc. But you can fit 3 in the car as we know that when doc, marty and jennfer were in the car so clara getting in would have been fine if she travelled with them in the first place.
@@Andy2481 Like I said, the DeLorean is not designed for more than two passengers. Yes I know Doc, Marty and Jennifer squeezed in together but they weren't under any pressure from other factors. Whereas here, it's much more dangerous as they were travelling at over 80mph, while getting extremely close to the edge of the ravine and the DeLorean was firing up for time travel not long after Clara was saved anyway.
So there were three timelines in 1885:
1. In the original one where Doc isn't present, nobody picks up Clara at the train station and she has to drive herself into town, causing her horse to go wild and her to go into the ravine.
2. In the one where Doc is present but Marty isn't (and Doc gets shot by Tannen), Doc volunteers to pick her up at the train station, preventing her from going over into the ravine, and they fall in love.
3. In the one where both Doc and Marty are present, Marty shows Doc the photo of his tombstone and he does not pick up Clara (as he says he won't) to avoid the romantic entanglement. Instead he goes with Marty to test ways to get the DeLorean up to 88 mph, and while they're doing that Clara's horse goes wild and they save her in the nick of time.
Mary Steenbergen. She was in Parenthood, she played Steve Martin’s wife. And Keanu Reeves was in that, as well as Joaquin Phoenix and Rick Moranis. Fantastic movie.
My favorite was “Time After Time” from 1979, another film about time travel.
The hanging scene almost went tragically wrong, as Michael J. Fox was actually being strangled by the rope.
Thankfully, Director Zemeckis realised what was happening and Fox was rescued.
Yep, I believe that's why his voice sounds so believably gravelly after the Doc shoots him down
Michael J Fox believes this lead to his Parkinson Disease
One of my favorite bits, every time I watch it, is the conversation with the train conductor. I don't know how he doesn't suspect foul play with all these really specific questions
There were train enthusiasts back then, as there are now :)
"damn, and I thought I was a lightweight" -- but we're all liteweights here 👍
Nice one!!!
Imagine the repercussions if Marty had run away from Buford and "Clint Eastwood" would have been famously known through-out the US to be a coward. It would have created an alternate timeline where Clint Eastwood could never become a well-known actor because of his name. :D
11:14
"Wait, Was He OK With Them Using His Name?, I Feel Like That'd Be Copyright"
Yeah, they'd requested permission from Clint Eastwood to have the character of Marty calling himself by his name in this movie, and Clint approved
You wore that to the lake?
they probably could have done it without his permission but they needed to get rights to the clip in the second and possibly some of the catch phrases he practiced in the mirror and they did not want the publicity of him getting upset or taking them to court even if referencing the existence of a public figure is pretty safe ground legally so they still asked.
Those 4 guys in the bar are veterans of many westerns, a nice touch.
13:02
"Joe Statler?, That Name's Familiar"
Statler was the name of the Toyota dealership in the first movie, which makes the Statler business in 1885 the ancestor of the owner of Statler Toyota
Which she shows on screen at 13:01…. How could you mark the timestamp and not notice?
In the original timeline, Marty says it's Clayton Ravine, so Clara rented the buckboard herself, a snake spooks the horses and she goes over and dies. They named the ravine after her. Then, Doc goes back, he's stuck in 1885, says he'll meet her at the station, they meet and fall in love, Buford kills him at the dance. Notice that in the version we see, Doc knows Buford will shoot him in the back, so he faces him and says, "... go ahead and shoot." He knew he wouldn't die there.
although the fact that marty did tell him his future, he would have been shot if it wasn't for marty saving him with the frisbee pie dish
He can't rely on that detail because he knows this version is being altered just by having Marty there.
There is also a 26-part animated "Back to the Future" series with live action segments starring Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown !
It acts as a continuation after Part 3
The end of part 1 what happened to the DeLorean aka he left it near the clock tower....
That is correct, yes. And, yes, it was after the events of the third film. It was a CBS Saturday Morning cartoon, lasted 2 seasons (13 episodes each), from 1991-1992, and is now available on DVD. Both Thomas F. Wilson and Mary Steenburgen gave their voices to the show.
In 2010-2015, there was a computer and console video game released called "Back To The Future: The Game", which was its own continuation from the films. Check the Wikipedia page.
Finally, in 2015-2022, comic company IDW Publishing did a series of Back To The Future comics, their own tie into the movies, which explained how Marty and Doc met, and has other adventures.
Yeah but it wasnt that good though. I was a kid and didnt really care for it. Real Ghostbusters and Teenage mutant hero turtles and spiderman (mid 90s) were awesome cartoon shows.
The cartoon series was also the television debut of Bill Nye. At the end of each episode he demonstrated simple experiments while Christopher Lloyd narrated.
8:05
When Marty looks at the two movie posters on the wall, they both have young Clint Eastwood in them before anyone really knew him.
To answer your timelines question at the end. Yes, they're in a completely new timeline. Think of it this way; with every tiny action they take in the past, they are creating a new timeline. Even by just breathing or treading on an ant they are creating new timelines. There are infinite new timelines, but we only get to see the last one they created before they jump back to the future.
Fun fact, Doc dresses Marty for all 3 time periods, the 50s, the future, and the 1880s
Growing up watching the first 2 I never knew I needed a doc brown love story but it was very well done.
If you're going to end a franchise, you know that you'll have to wrap things up perfectly for marty.
But that just leaves Doc and a fulfilled career but a possibly lonely existence.
If your favourite main characters eventually go their separate ways and live an unwritten future then making sure Doc has another companion was a beautiful touch.
I'm so impressed by how many small details you notice and remember!!
The train sequences is some of the best cinema in history. The stakes, the music, the filmmaking is all so remarkable.
Perfectly builds and builds with the presto log colors acting as a tension-building ticking clock. The scene STILL holds up and is thrilling!
Seen it dozens of times over the past 35 years and it never fails to impress.
9:00 - the revolver Doc fires in the air is the same revolver used in 1985 to "draw" the fire of the Libyans. As he sends Marty off he fires the gun emptying it. He stores it for 30 years with no bullets.
“Is this a hold up?”
“It’s a science experiment!”
This kills me everytime lol
That would have been an epic line in the movie for me as well, but unfortunately that's one of the scenes they showed in the movie trailer after BTTF2 and it kind of wrecked the whimsy of the moment. So much of that trailer was spoilers and I'm glad most reactors are warned not to watch it. I wish someone had warned me as well... but I saw both of the first two BTTF movies at the theatre premiers so had first-watch bragging rights without the guardrails!
Pat Buttram was also in Green Acres and did some voice work for animated movies. He was the Sheriff of Nottingham in Disney's Robin Hood.
1955 was actually where Clint Eastwood began acting. He was a day player, appearing in bit parts. He had small parts in four movies in 1955, three of which he didn't even get a screen credit.
Yes, it is ZZ Top!
EDIT: and more mind-boggling than trying to wrap your head around the different timelines is realizing that at a point in 1955 there were FOUR DeLoreans present there at the same time: (1) the one from the first movie; (2) the one that Biff took from Doc and Marty to go back to 1955 to give his young self the sports results book; (3) the one that Marty and Doc took to go back to 1955; and (4) the one Doc left in the mine since 1885.
@@james_9920 #3 was behind that same billboard Marty hid #1 before meeting 1955's Doc. Now #2 I have no idea, I don't think they showed where Biff hid it.
There were only three DeLoreans. The one in the mine doesn't exist until the one Doc is in gets struck by lightning and goes back to 1885.
Why do we read this in all comments in all Channels?
My interpretation of the Clara situation is that yes, originally she would have been dead, but even alive, her and Doc spend their lives as time travelers, basically living outside the timeline, so it wouldn't have a permanent effect on the future.
unless they screwup.
Imagine what this felt like to a 13 year old in 1990. It was the most amazing experience ever.
I was 11 and it was the best film I'd ever seen at that point. Thanks to my dad for taking me to see it :)
Clara is actually an example of a time travel paradox.
In the original BTTF Timeline, Clara died falling into the ravine and it was named after her.
However, on Doc's tombstone, it reads " his beloved Clara " which implies that by travelling back in time to the old west, Doc somehow prevented her death at the ravine and they fell in love.
Then Marty travelled back in time to the old west and again changed the circumstances that prevented Clara's death at the ravine.
And with the " science experiment " with the train, it became historical fact, that a young man named Clint Eastwood died when the train crashed into the ravine and it was named after him, instead.
@@kieronball8962 Doc lands in Hill Valley and becomes a prominent citizen there. The mayor asks Doc to pick up the new school teacher from the train station. He duly does, which is where he meets and falls in love with Clara.
Had Doc not traveled to 1885, nobody picks her up, she rents a buckboard and horses, the horses get spooked and she goes into the ravine.
Marty, in going back, causes Doc to not pick up Clara because the two are investigating methods to get the Delorean to 88mph. She then rents a buckboard and nearly goes over like she was originally supposed to.
Doc went home, a place he felt he belonged. Easier for him to adjust to 1885 than Clara to adjust to 1985.
Perfectly reacted, everything you do is absolute perfection. Every time you moved in closer to the camera your eyes just drew me in, I was mesmerized. Forever smiles ❤️❤️❤️😃😃😃
When the first Back to the Future was released in 1985, they didn't know how well it would do in the theaters. But after seeing the popularity, that's when they decided to make parts II & III. They filmed both II & III at the same time and released them 6 months apart in the theaters...II in Nov '89 and III in May '90.
18:55 "If he can make his own ice, he can make gasoline. Isn't it just a byproduct of something else?"
It is.
All he has to do is find a source of underground oil. In 1885, nobody had that info, so, I guess he just needs to get lucky.
Then he has to build an oil well in that spot. He could probably do it; the first U.S. oil well was built in 1859 so he can use that design. It was in Pennsylvania, pretty far away, but doable.
Once he has the oil, he needs to refine it. I'll give him credit that he's a genius and might know how. Also, that same well in 1859 was used to make the first gasoline, so he can just see what they do.
Or, maybe he should just steal some from that Pennsylvanian company.
I mean, he stole plutonium from the Libyans in 1985 so he's not opposed to theft.
Or maybe buy it. He only needs a gallon or two.
Gasoline is not a byproduct. It has to be mixed from quite a lot of ingredients, hence on purpose.
You've recognized the voice of the one barfly from "The Aristocats". I'm not sure if you've ever seen it or not, but Pat Buttram also did the voice of the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Disney animated version of "Robin Hood". Later on, he also had a recurring role as Cactus Jake in the series "Garfield and Friends" in the early 90s.
Me favorite of the trilogy! It's rare when you get Sci Fi mixed with Western genre and they did a great job with this movie! .... Like Firefly ☺️
You're the first person I've seen get so incredibly giddy about Clara and Doc. That was a delight to watch with you.
Clint Eastwood did indeed give his permission for his name to be used. Ironically Clint Eastwood's first film role was in Tarantula (1955), where he played a pilot. So while Doc had never heard of him, he could have seen him if he went to the cinema to see Tarantula. I noticed that 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' was the next film suggested by whatever streaming service you're using. If you've not seen it, it's a Spielberg great, well deserving of a reaction.
and Marty is standing next to Tarantula and Revenge Of The Creature(another 1955 movie he's in) movie posters at the drive-in!
Amazing reactions, you are one of a few reactors who really looks like pay attention to the details.
New subscriber here!
From what I read, Clint Eastwood was actually amused that they used his name in this and had no problem at all!
Marty learns to shot on 'Wild Gunman' as seen in part 2 in the Cafe 80s. Earlier in the movie Doc tells Clara that humans go into space on rockets, you can't go to the moon on a train... (or can you?)
Also IIRC the train also has some of features of the space craft in Jules Vernes 'From the Earth to the Moon' such as padded leather on the walls and windows in the roof.
When we colonise the moon we'll probably construct train routes there between bases.
You probably don't remember this because the movie goes by so fast. When they were going out the back door and they caught doc and Marty escaping. Marty fell onto a fireplace and knocked the furnace lid off which can work as a bulletproof vest.
Such an incredibly tightly written trilogy. Just found your channel. Really nice to stumble upon an intelligent and insightful reactor.
Yeah, Clint Eastwood was totally fine about them using his name. They approached him whilst writing the script and he thought it was a great idea! The duel between Marty and Mad dog tannen near the end is inspired by what happens in "A Fist Full of Dollars". Which stars clint Eastwood. Also you were right about the band, it is ZZ top! They released a song for the movie called "Double Back".
Regarding the timeline, the name of the ravine changed to Eastwood Ravine, because the people of 1885 assumed Cint Eastwood (Marty) was on the train. In the film he rolls past the sign with the name as he arrives in 1985 on the railway track.
Funny story about Clint Eastwood. They said Clint Eastwood a letter asking if they could use his name in Back to the Future and he laughed and thought it was funny so he gave them permission.
The depiction of Love at First Sight is actually pretty good in this movie. I didn't believe in it till last year and most people probably won't either unless it happens to them.
Good catch on Pat Buttram being in "The Aristocats". In fact, all of those old men at the table in the saloon were actually veteran actors from TV and movie Westerns from the fifties and sixties. It was such a great cameo scene for them and fans of the genre. I LOVE this movie!
Pat Buttram is a 2nd cousin of mine. On my moms side
They are in a new timeline every time they go backwards in time, according to official Back to the Future time rules. A duplicate timeline is created every time someone travels back in time, and they change things from there.
GREAT REACTION as usual. Thanks for letting us be a part of it with you! 🙂
Now you know why you have to watch all three :) they all intertwined so well. it's a masterclass in trilogy making.
If you like the first one, you'll love the rest
Tom Wilson certainly stole the show, and he played 8 characters in total:
Biff, the supervisor
Biff, the car detailer
Young Biff
Old Biff
Rich Biff
Griff
Biff's Grandma
Buford
He was great. He’s a stand-up comic, you can find some of his stuff on RUclips.
You caught a lot of Easter Eggs, but here's one you can be forgiven for not knowing:
7:58 When Marty says "Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this", he's standing by two movie posters: "Revenge of the Creature" (the first sequel to "Creature from the Black Lagoon) and "Tarantula" (about a radioactive giant tarantula). These were Clint Eastwood's first 2 movie roles. Small bit roles. Both came out in 1955. In "Creature', he is a scientist who is missing his lab mouse, only to find it alive and well in the pocket of his lab coat. In 'Tarantula', he's a fighter pilot and you only see his eyes.
Such a glorious ending to a fantastic trilogy. Wonderful reaction to all 3!
Love your reactions to my favourite trilogy! More trivia: Needles was played by Flea, the bass player in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His gang in 1985 comprises one actor from the other gangs: Buford’s main 1885 Cowboy, Skinhead from 1955/1985A and Data from 2015. It’s like they are related to the other gang members and they were as bad as each other!
ZZ Top were indeed playing the hoedown music which was a hillbilly arrangement of their soundtrack single release Doubleback used in the end credits. Check out their music video. They also entertained the cast during filming. Spinning their guitars was their signature move. Doc’s bandana is made from his 2015 shirt which cleverly features 2 cowboys riding horses and a train!
The time travel train is featured at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Such a great trilogy!
I love that doc scoffs at the idea that he called his future current dog Einstein and the manure being in every part, such a perfect trilogy
I think he thought something much more dramatic had happened like he possibly owned the brain of Einstein 😂 so when he heard it was just a dogs name he scoffs and shakes his head semi embarrassed. 😂
After he Scoffs at his future dog called Einstein, he looks at his current dog and says "It's okay Copernicus"
My first time seeing Mary Steenburgen was, ironically, in another movie involving time travel. It was the 1979 movie Time After Time.
I'm not sure if it's the type of movie you'd enjoy, but I did.
Clara doesn’t fall into Clayton Revine and Doc doesn’t get shot in the back by Mad Dog Tannen. Then, on top of that, they have two kids together, Jules and Verne. That might mess up the time line, big time. However, coming from scientist parents , they’ll become good scientists and discover some cures and make the world a better place. Maybe mess up the time line in a good way.
Thanks for sharing the great reaction, glad you enjoyed the triolgy.
And yes...the band at the festival is ZZ Top... good eye!
I have never seen anyone care so much for Clara. I enjoyed this.
The TellTale Game will break your brain even further. They got the full cast back but had to recast Marty due to Fox's voice not sounding the same from the Parkinsons, he's still in it though as is Jennifer's original actress.
Also, the Telltale game takes the duo back to the 1930s. Apparently Telltale did that because the writers of the movies considered that era instead before going for the Old West.
Now, Christopher Lloyd again in Nobody with a end credit scene 👌 & Michael J Fox in Teen Wolf. Awesome movies for you 👌.
Did you notice Clara at the train station when Marty and Doc were discussing the trail on the map?
It is worth watching Tom Wilson in interviews; he is a real entertainer and very funny.
One of the best trilogies. Not quite the end of the characters, though. Zemeckis and Gale created an animated series that ran for two seasons, 26 episodes, in 1991-93. Three of the actors came back to do voices, Lloyd, Wison and Steenburgen.
What a joy it was to watch you enjoy this trilogy! I seen all these movies in the theaters growing up. Loved how you noticed all the easter eggs and links along the time-line. Looking forward to watching more of your reactions!

"Wait, Is That ZZ Top?"
It certainly was, Teagan. They also have a song on the soundtrack of those BTTF installment
Congrats on being maybe the only reactor noticing ZZ Top is the band in 1885!
And yet she somehow missed the spinning guitar move like in the Legs video. Or at least she didn't react to it
Great, I missed you so much, I've watched pretty much every big reactor (PIB, 2 Cavazos, LM Reacts, Laura Reacts, TheReact Pack, etc. etc.) and you've become my favorite. Can't wait for 12 Angry Men, Lincoln, Insomnia (most underated Christopher Nolan film) and Man of Steel (produced by Christopher Nolan), Happy friday's EVE!
YES to 12 Angry Men!
Yep, that was them. Some members of ZZ Top were at the set the day that the clock dedication scene was being filmed. On a whim, the director decided to include them in the band.
Okay, I think you may be overthinking about Clara and the timeline thing. See, the beauty of the changes is that they were significant in changing some things, but not big enough that completely change 1985 timeline. So about Clara, yes, Doc had saved her from her death and so that ravine was changed to Eastwood cuz the 1885 Hill Valley citizens thought "Clint Eastwood" had died in the train wreck. Clara survived, but most likely she was never mentioned in history books at all so to Hill Valley she never existed.
Another example of significant change, but didn't affect the timeline of 1985 was when George stood up against Biff in 1955. Big changes to the McFlys, but not enough to destroy the timeline. 1955 mayor was still a drunk in 1985, Wilson was still mayor, etc. Twin Pines Mall got changed to Lone Pine Mall, but there was still a mall in that same location.
Umm... yeah. Gasoline is a byproduct of oil. They'd have to construct a giant drill, and a giant pump rig. Then find oil and spend weeks drilling, pumping, and refining the oil into Gasoline. No problem. 😂😂😂❤
I love Pat Buttram being tied to "The Aristocats" here, which is a deep cut for someone these days, but my brain always goes back to either his fun role in the Disney animated "Robin Hood" as the Sheriff, or his LONG running role in "Green Acres" as Mr Haney (147episode)
You forgot to mention his long run as Gene Autry’s sidekick from 1950 to 1956 in which time they made 40 movies and over 100 TV episodes together.

16:02 Michael J Fox legitimately almost died filming this scene. In his 2002 book, Lucky Man, Michael J. Fox talked about that scene and how a stunt gone wrong almost killed him. The wide shots of Marty McFly hanging from the gallows in Back to the Future Part III are not Fox. It didn't need to be. It was far enough away that you couldn't see his face, and with the danger involved, a stuntman was used instead. Then came the closeup shots, where Fox had to be involved. To be safe, the crew had Fox standing on a box. The scene was shot from the waist up because we didn't need to see Fox dangling. The plan was for him to just wiggle his feet around on the box to make it look like he was swinging from a rope. The problem was that it didn't look right on screen.
In the scene, the only thing saving Marty McFly is that he's able to get his hands up and between the rope and his neck, giving him just enough space to breathe. Michael J. Fox then offered to just do that himself. He'd take the box out and hang there with his hands between the rope. It's hard to believe something like this would be allowed, but the stunt was given the greenlight. "This worked well for the next couple of takes," Fox wrote, "but on the third I miscalculated the positioning of my hand. Noose around my neck, dangling from the gallows pole, my carotid artery was blocked, causing me briefly to pass out."
It sounds like a scene from a horror film, an actor filming a hanging stunt only to hang himself for real and die. Fox didn't die, thanks to one man paying close attention. "I swung, unconscious, at the end of the rope for several seconds before Bob Zemeckis, fan of mine though he was, realized even I wasn't that good an actor." Zemeckis quickly had Fox taken down, thus saving his life. If he had waited any longer, even if Michael J. Fox hadn't died, the actor could have suffered a serious brain injury. Thankfully that wasn't the case, but less than a year later, there would be a moment where he wondered if he had been traumatically hurt that day.
Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 at just the age of 29. He kept it a secret for years, continuing to work for another decade, most notably on the TV series Spin City.
Thank you very much for the watch. I've enjoyed your enjoying these movies. I loved them when the first came out, and I've watched them all quite a few times. Not as much, recently, only because I've seen them repeatedly. But... it's nice to watch folks enjoying them for the first time. Thank you.
Just an observation. I'm not going to read all the other comments, so I don't know if anyone mentioned it. They've got to get the DeLorean up to 88 in the old west. So, in the last movie, they're having the conversation about maybe it could be a relative. No, Doc says, the Browns didn't come to Hill Valley until the 1900s. And, then... they were the Von Brauns. And... scientist Doc Brown didn't pick up on the obvious way to propel the DeLorean... Von Braun. Like... Werner Von Braun, the inventor of the rocket. A rocket would have been ideal to propel the DeLorean. Ah, well... The train was a lot of fun.
At any rate... thank you, again, for the watch. I'll look forward to seeing some of your other reactions as time goes by.
What's interesting is that Michael J. Fox tried to do his own stunts in the movie, and in the scene where the enraged Beef hangs him on a rope too. That's because an understudy would have looked much worse in that scene. At one point, the noose tightened too much around his neck, and Michael hung and lost consciousness. People around it did not immediately realize it, and thought that he was just playing a role. And when they did, they were able to save him from choking. Everything would have been bypassed, but soon he began to show the first symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which he hid for several years and refused some good roles, thinking that they will not be able to cope. And his career went downhill. His last movie starring him was The Frighteners. He only made occasional appearances in movies after that.
So, such injuries, including suffocation, can provoke the early development of Parkinson's disease, which apparently happened on the set of the third movie. But on the other hand Michael is lucky to be an actor and has a lot of money. Because of this he has good treatment and still lives. If he were poor, he would probably be dead by now.
That’s so sad.
The scene where Marty gets hung (@15:54) was legit.. something malfunctioned with Michael's safety harness and it took him passing out before the crew realized something was wrong lol
A great ending for one of the greatest movie trilogies ever made
It was a stroke of genius that even though it was not originally planned to be a trilogy we ended up with a very clean series with each focus on one character with George McFly's story (BTTF), then Biff Tannen's (BTTF2), and then Doc Brown's (BTTF3) with Marty and the audience along for the ride.
One thing I just realized this year is that Buford breaking a bottle of whiskey when his horse threw a shoe loosely parallels the original timeline when Biff wrecks the McFlys' car because of a "blind spot" and spills beer all over himself.
