Clint Eastwood was asked for permission about his name being used for Marty in the film. He consented and was quite entertained at the usage of his name.
That just illustrates part of what makes Clint so awesome. He's not afraid to laugh at himself. Despite playing some of the hardest characters in cinema history, Clint is a very kind and good humored person. Probably why he's stuck around as long as he has. I hope I'm anywhere in the ballpark he's in when I get that old. If I get that old. Lol
Also, Marty sees Clint Eastwood in BTTF 2 use the same “bulletproof vest” method in a movie that Biff is watching… when Biff is in the hot tub with the random ladies.
Doc and Marty using each other’s catchphrases might genuinely be my favorite moment in the whole series. It’s just a brief, sweet moment that shows their friendship so well.
The band at the festival is legendary Texan rock band ZZ Top and the song they're playing is a Wild West variant of "Doubleback". It was only supposed to go on for a few minutes, but it got out of hand and everyone on set had such a good time, Robert Zemeckis just let everyone celebrate. When someone wondered, how much more footage they'd need, Zemeckis admitted he got everything he needed an hour earlier and didn't want to sour the mood.
The thing that I always enjoy about ZZ Top's cameo here is that drummer Frank Beard (the only band member without that long beard) finally gets to do his own version the iconic ZZ Top Guitar Spin.
@@nonconsensualopinion Oh sure, there were police, but very very few, spread very thin, and only able to move at the speed of horseback. Of course, in this movie the real reason the marshall wasn't there at the end is Buford shot him dead on his way into town to face that duded up Clint Eastwood. But the scene was wisely cut. But that's why his deputies arrested Tannen at the end instead of the marshall.
If you go back and watch Part II after seeing this one, you can see them laying a lot of groundwork for Part III. Buford "Mad Dog" Tannon is mentioned in the video about Biff's rise to fortune as one of his ancestors, Doc mentions wanting to visit the old west as a boyhood fantasy, they even mention the accident with the Rolls Royce that he avoids because he doesn't rise to the chicken taunt as the thing that sent Marty's life into a downward spiral. He works with the driver of the other truck in the future, Needles (played in both movies by Flea, the bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers).
Also when Biff is in the hot tub watching the Clint Eastwood movie he compliments the scene where he uses armor in the gunfight, which Marty borrows for his own gunfight.
@@robhorsey9906BINGO. You have to think 4th dimensionally about this too, in Marty’s life, all three movies take place in about 2 weeks. Part 2 is essentially one REALLY long day (the only “sleep” he gets is when Biff’s goons knock him out for 2 hours). So the Clint Eastwood scene would be about 6 days earlier. Or so.
If you want another great western set in Australia then you have got to see QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER. It's one of Tom Selleck's best roles and one of Alan Rickman's best villain performances. It has everything: drama, action, laughs, tears, and romance. I think you would absolutely love it. It's an underrated movie that no one reacts to. Would love to see you get it out there.
Thomas F. Wilson did most of his own stunts for this movie, including horseback riding, gun handling, and learning to use a lasso. He learned well because he became proficient in all of them.
Tom Wilson is fantastic. He's done more films than people realize, but still is known as "Biff". His artwork is very good and his stand-up act is perfect. While BTTF is one of my favorite movies, I really liked the performance and character arc he portrayed as Todd "Maniac" Marshall in the Wing Commander series of games (WC2,3,and Prophesy)
@@Caseytify One of the nicest and funniest guys you can meet, according to every interview I've seen discussing him. in school he was president of the debate team and played tuba in the band.
Bruce Campbell starred in a Western TV show for one season in 1993 (made with some of the elements that made BTTF 3) and learned how to ride and do gun tricks on the fly during the run of that show.
"Clint Eastwood will be called the biggest Yella belly in the west" That man's name is Pat Buttram, he was on Green Acres and did tons of Disney movies, he was the voice of the Sherriff of Nottingham in the Disney cartoon of Robin Hood
All three of those codgers in the saloon were in westerns in their early years If I remember right, which is why they were chosen. You gotta have the codgers in the saloon. Or a prospector with a mule parked out back.
Well, Australia has every _other_ terrifying hellbeast on Earth, I guess God decided the addition of bears would be too much. Except for cute, fluffy, stoner bears. 🐨
Right. I'll take bears over poison spiders any day. I'm not afraid of spiders just I can see and avoid a bear. Much harder to avoid a spider that can kill.
@@Sir_Scrumpalicious you gotta be kiddin mate .. spiders are awesome :) if theres no large aggressive spiders in the house .. you can hardly call it a home :)
Great reaction, Mary. You nearly made me emotional with your excitement at the end and I"ve watched the trilogy dozens of times. The first movie was about Marty. The second movie was about Biff. And the last movie was about the Doc. So that's how the story keeps the audience interested because each movie revolved around a different character so subtly that we don't even notice it. This is one of the best written trilogies of all time and even 38 years later, it still holds up because of the incredible story telling. Keep up the great work.
The fact that they filmed the last 2 sequels concurrently still spins my mind into HTF did they do that. Few tidbits: the brown water and metal bits at the frontier feast w/the McFlys was there was no running water in pioneer days and that's buckshot from the rabbit or whatever they are noshing on that was hunted for their meal. The use of the stove top by Marty is a nod to one of Clint's spaghetti westerns (and yes Mary get on those!) When Doc says 'Who's Clint Eastwood?' at the drive-in is an Easter egg for it is in 1955 and there's poster for the sci-fi classic TARANTULA in which Clint has a cameo in the film's climax as a fighter pilot who kills the giant arachnid (one of his first earliest onscreen performances).
Also my favorite of the series. I love the blend of modern and western, and it's a great conclusion to the trilogy with good references to the first 2 while still standing on its own.
Thomas F. Wilson who plays the roll of Biff is one hell of a comedian and well loved person in real life. For a guy that played 7 different rolls in the Back to the future movies (and he did them really good), he should had get much more attention as an actor then he got. Great reaction!
Another of his great roles he gets no mention for is the Wing Commander games. For part 3 and 4 of that series they shot essentially full motion pictures worth of live action cut scenes start Thomas and Mark Hamil. Good stuff.
I was blown away by his versatility in these movies, and I agree it's kind of rotten that he did not become a huge star as a result. I would have loved to see what he could have done with some other juicy roles.
Rumor has it before the Internet and media, Thomas did not want to be the bully, he wanted to be a good guy in the movie, that explains why he was such a good bully and awesome friendly Biff.
Part of the reason Mary Steenburgen was cast as Clara was because of a film she made ten years before called TIME AFTER TIME. Both writer/director Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale were fans of that film because it also dealt with time travel. It stars Malcolm McDowell as H.G. Wells and David Warner as Jack the Ripper. It’s directed by Nicholas Meyer; who directed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Alan Silvestri not only did the score for all 3 Back To The Future films but he also did American Anthem, Flight of the Navigator, Father of the Bride I & II, The Parent Trap 1998, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit
As this historically accurate documentary film shows, trains and great romance stories go hand in hand. Extraordinary in depth commentary of the movie, perfect. 🏆
Hopefully, after this, you put "A Fistful Of Dollars" on the schedule. That's the Clint Eastwood Western Biff was watching in the screwed up 1985 in BTTF 2 & Marty homaged with the makeshift bulletproof vest in this movie.
The most heartbreaking scene in this movie was the destruction of The Delorean. There was a cartoon spin off with Doc and family traveling to famous historical events educating the kids
What a film! I saw this in the theater, and when the train started taking off, you could've peeled me off the ceiling, I was so giddy with nerd-citement!
Nice catch on the Ravine name! Not a lot of watchers catch that Shonash Ravine turned into Eastwood Ravine instead of Clayton Ravine! Well done! And the picture of Doc (by himself) with the clock tower clock that got torn up in the destruction of the Delorean was the one they snagged from the 1955 library. Doc gave Marty the one with both of them in it. And Marty knew what to do in the duel with the cast iron stove door as that was in the scene in the Clint Eastwood movie Biff was watching in the alternate 1985 in his casino in the hot tub.
This is something I seldom see addressed in these reaction videos. Marty's western outfit in the 1950's was actually how children and some movies dressed cowboys. Fringes were a big thing. I had something similar when I was growing up. It was considered authentic and macho back then because that's how Hollywood portrayed it. It wasn't designed as some social comentary. I like it when I see reactors looking at these movies through the lens of the time and not their world view.
My favorite movie trilogy of all time! I didn't watch it until 2015 and it definitely shaped me into the person I am today. I took this movie so much to heart and the "your future is whatever you make it" line will always be a motto I live by.
The one thing that proves Clara wasn’t thinking fully over Docs story about being a time traveller: old man slips up and talks about reading a ten year old book when he was a boy makes perfect sense if he came from the future as he claims.
People back in the day never locked doors or worried about theft. Even here in the 50s-60s people would leave their homes unlocked and could relay on neighbours.
Doc being able to make the new machine at the end makes sense. Remember: There is a version of the DeLorean in a mine waiting to be found in the 50s; he could easily reverse engineer (and now he has an assistant so he probably figured out a lot of stuff he couldn't initially) and just make sure he put it back once he was done.
Mary, if you're interested, Telltale Games developed a game which continues the story of Back to the Future. The story takes place about a year after the events of the trilogy and the time travel bits take place mostly in 1876 and 1931. It fleshes out Doc Brown's character as a young man and how he became a scientist. The game isn't set in the same universe as the movies but the developers acted as if it were. They used the same characters (voiced by their original actors) and took care not to contradict the events of the movies. Bob Gale was their story consultant. He said the game could have taken place in a different timeline where the events of the trilogy still happened. The game is pretty much a lot of point-and-click and puzzles but the story is linear. Adam Koralik played through the games and edited them into two movies. (The game itself is divided into five episodes.) They're still uploaded here on RUclips. Except for some dodgy editing and the game's mid 2000s graphics and artwork, they're very watchable.
Oh and the music at the festival is actually “Doubleback” played on simple instruments and an arrangement. And the three musicians are actually ZZ Top themselves 😁
I love that you're referencing so much of the feel of this to Red Dead Redemption 2. I am about halfway through playing that right now! Yes, Clint Eastwood and John Wayne are considered like the top guys in American Western movies. Clint Eastwood had a trilogy of movies that were made by an Italian director, which coined the term "spaghetti western". It's "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".
Fun fact. Michael J. Fox almost choked to death filming that rope chase scene. Luckily, that didn't happen, but he was literally almost killed during that scene, which makes you appreciate him more as an actor, and how dedicated he was to the project.
A sad fact: while filming this movie Michael J. Fox first noticed neurological changes in his legs that eventually led to his diagnosis of Parkinson’s 😢
What annoys me about this movie is in 1875 there is 2 time machines, the one doc traveled in and the one marty come back in, take the gas from docs one and spare parts and make a list so 1955 doc can replace the fuel and what not... It would be so easy to get back if they would just think 4th dimensionally.
10:01 Dark Theory Time. Doctor Emmitt Brown a Known Pacificist just happens to have a Sniper Rifle on that very day? It is more likely that Doc Brown was too late and saw Marty HUNG. He eventually fixes the Time Machine and goes back to this moment to prevent the hanging.
5:19 "Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this!" In the background is a poster for 'Revenge of the Creature' from 1955 which was Clint Eastwood's first movie.
In Back to the Future 2 there is a scene where Biff is watching a Clint Eastwood movie. That scene foreshadows 2 things in the 3rd movie. The use of Clint's name of course and also something that Marty does
Since you mentioned that you like westerns in the intro… I’m not big on westerns in general, but there is a western made in the 80’s called Silverado that is one of my all time favorites. Great cast with a little humor sprinkled in amongst the more serious themes. Oh, and the remake of True Grit is worth a watch too😊
I prefer the original from 1968, although I'll admit Matt Damon did a better job than Glen Campbell as the ranger. Agreed, Silverado is excellent. Huge cast and fantastic cinematography.
I was in class when I heard that they were filming the ending nearby. It was filmed at the tracks near the west end of Ventura rd in Port Hueneme, CA. The beach is nearby with pier.
Fun Fact: The moment Marty says "there is no bridge" on the map at the train station, you can see Clara in the background with her back turned waiting for the train.
14:10 It's called a "bustle" and it was the fashion of the day. In addition to enhancing the silhouette, it was also useful for keeping the train of the skirt from dragging on the ground Now the one problem I have with this movie: the Time Machine "jumps" from a wooden trestle bridge, but arrives on a steel truss bridge. That means that at some point in the last 100 years, the bridge was torn down and replaced. When they do that with an active bridge, the new one is built *beside* the old one and the roadbed is diverted onto the new track. That means that Marty would have appeared in mid air and dropped to his death, all because Doc failed to think fourth-dimensionally :P
Seeing the DeLorean get smashed at the end always hurts... also I don't love the flying train ending although it is nice. I think I would have prefered Marty going to the library or archive or something and found a picture of Doc and his family living happily in the 1880s would have been better... maybe
Part II & III were filmed, back to back. I loved the teaser trailer for Part III at the end of Part II. Couldn't wait to see how it would end. Part III is the only film in the series that i've seen in theaters. Marty overcoming his fear and finally going home. ELB having his own story and growth for more than just science. 3 of the band members (2 guitarists and 1 drummer) was the real-life legendary band, ZZ Top. They performed the film's song, "Doubleback", heard within the ceremony and in the end credits. I played the video game, BTTF part II & part III. Both stories in one game for the Sega Genesis. Very complicated to play and full of craziness. There was an animated series and ran between 2 networks. It ran 2 seasons (26 episodes) with the adventures of Marty, Einstein, ELB with his wife and kids. Both vehicles, the Train and a new Delorean are used. A couple of castmembers from the films were involved as voices. Thomas F. Wilson reprised as Tannen characters (obviously) and Mary Steenburgen reprised her role as Clara. Universal Studios opened the BTTF ride afterwards in Hollywood and Orlando, Florida. This was a solid ending to the trilogy. In fact, a definition of what every trilogy should be. Glad to have witnessed it.
I never understood why Doc didn't take Clara based on keeping the timeline correct. It would be totally scientific. She was supposed to die in the ravine. Her running around alive alters the timeline. He should have just convinced her to go with him and Marty in the first place.
The train was exploding around him. I think Doc’s instinct was just to get Clara to safety and he wasn’t concerned in the moment about getting into back into the Delorean. It’s basically the payoff to the Doc’s character development and it works for me. We also would have been robbed of the awesome unexpected ending.

29:54 - "How did they shoot this?" They used a combination of a full-scale train and car, model miniatures and pyrotechnics. Though the film series completed, the Back to the Future story has continued: there was the Back to the Future game by Telltale Games which acts like a "Part IV", which Bob Gale (who co-created the series with Robert Zemeckis) had a hand in writing. There is also a comic series that adapted the game, but also explored alternate timelines, and one story even serving as a prequel about how Doc and Marty met in the 1980s. There was a ride at Universal Studios that closed down in Hollywood and Orlando, but is still open in Japan (which many fans have enjoyed. You can find the videos from the ride on RUclips, including the pre-show videos).
Mary! Your eyes lighting up when Doc appeared to Marty and Jennifer in the train was worth the price of admission. By the way, remember when Marty used the cast-iron oven door as a shield? Do you recall, in the second movie, when Biff was watching a Clint Eastwood movie in the hot tub? Clint did the same thing, using a piece of metal as a shield. :)
5:40 'They didn't know any better at the time'. I'm sure I was this uninformed when I was younger. We all always seem to think we're the first generation to learn things. And Native Americans weren't pacifists. They were slaughtering, enslaving and sacrificing each other long before the Europeans arrived.
Great wonderful reaction! I love Mary Steenburgen in this. Check her out in 2 of my favorite films, TIME AFTER TIME (1979) and MELVIN AND HOWARD (1980) for which she won an Oscar. Best Clint Westerns imo are THE OUTLAW JOSIE WALES (1975) and UNFORGIVEN (1992l both directed by Eastwood.
22:41 Mary, I just LOVE your whole set of responses & reactions to Doc holding his shot, taking it, taking the wake up juice, everything. Just hilarious.
My order is 1, 3 (but very close behind, and sometimes, like this year, I even think that it is the favorite), 2. I love 1 and 3, but merely like 2 because I find that Part II has no heart to it, as it mainly deals with time travel shenanigans, not the character relationships or emotional stakes that I watch the trilogy for. I like hearing when someone likes III the best because the fandom over the years has called it the worst, sometimes simply because it's a Western, and I think it deserves more credit for its satisfying conclusion and character development. It also, somewhat surprisingly, gets a number of historical details right, such as the costumes (the women's dresses are accurate and everyone's wearing a hat all the time), slang, and even the fact that nobody first-names Marty as "Clint". They all call him "Mr Eastwood", as first names were reserved for family and close friends. That Clara quickly goes from calling Doc "Mr Brown" to "Emmett" shows how soon they've developed an emotional connection. I like details like that. These are some of the most rewatchable movies ever. You really can watch them a hundred times or more and still get more out of them, notice more details, and not get bored (trust me, I know). I hope you watch them many more times. Welcome to the fandom!
Harry Carey Jr was in several Classic John Wayne movies his entire life (son of the late, great actor Harry Carey Sr. who was a longtime friend and mentor to John Wayne. The list of the movies that they were in with John Wayne are too long to list(starting with the all-time great Classic"Stagecoach"). They were among the select few that the late, great director John Ford would always use in his movies.
I mean, if he shot Buford Tannen, there would be no Biff. That would then have deleted a lot of the plots of the original movies, and we couldn't have that! I'm glad to see you liked this trilogy. It's absolutely one of my favorites, and I say that parts 1 and 3 tie for the best. Two is still good, but just a slight bit lower.
In no particular order - the whiskey Marty is served scorched the bar because it's supposedly that strong. The saloon old-timers are played by three veteran character actors with about 150 combined years of experience in film and television, including westerns. The Frisbee did indeed get its name from the Frisbee Pie Company after college students began flinging the empty tins back and forth. The unstated joke about Strickland is that, whereas the previous versions of him were consistently bald, the ancestor had an excess of hair. The train engineer is played by Bill McKinney who had supporting roles in the films "Deliverance" and "The Green Mile". The Colt pistol salesman is Burton Gilliam who had a significant supporting role in "Blazing Saddles". The expansive backdrop surrounding Hill Valley, California is actually Monument Valley, Arizona, filming location for many classic westerns. Other worthwhile westerns you might check out include "My Darling Clementine", "Winchester '73", "Open Range", either theatrical version of "Stagecoach" ( some may disagree with that ), and "Silverado". For a flat out comic western, try "A Million Ways To The In The West" - which also includes a nice little "Easter Egg". Paretnhetically, this is the second time travel film starring Mary Steenburgen - and she for real married her leading man from the earlier film.
I am also happy that Marty doesn't gaslight Jennifer at the end by trying to convince her it was all a dream. That dishonesty would have put a sour note on the ending. And Doc has changed his mind too because he answers her question happily, accepting that she knows the truth. I understand why Doc would want Jennifer to think it was a dream in Part II, just to simply things, but gaslighting isn't the answer, and I'm glad Marty and Doc didn't hold to the original plan. I think Marty and Jennifer will have a deeper bond because they are the only ones (aside from Doc, whenever he chooses to time travel to see them) they can talk to about their time travel experiences.
Excellent edit of this brilliant trilogy saga. I've long enjoyed what The Bobs did with the trilogy,, Your compression retained the heart of the saga/ Big plus up. 👍👍
Mary, I'm so glad you finished this trilogy, Mary Steenburgen did a good job and glad that Doc finally got his woman and had Jules and Verne and settled down with a family. This was fun. I do suggest John Wayne's last Western film called The Shootist. You'll like it, it has a great cast. Few Clint Eastwood films: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, The Eiger Sanction, Dirty Harry, Any Which Way You Can, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, Pink Cadillac, Gran Turino, Blood Work, Tightrope, The Gauntlet, all from memory haha.
That was Needles who challenged Marty to a race. In BTTF2 older Needles convinced older Marty in a bad business deal which got him fired. It was mentioned in BTTF2 that Marty was injured in a car crash with a Rolls Royce, and he was no longer able to play a guitar. That crash was prevented when Marty refused to race. I liked how the pacing and style was changed in BTTF3 to match the time they were in. BTTF2 was fast paced to match being in the high-tech future. BTTF3 was slower paced to match the Wild West.
Hi Mary the fellas and I were sitting here and they were just telling me if you’re going down the Clint Eastwood Westerns route, the fellas wanted you to look into Unforgiven which is an absolute classic about an aging gunslinger and deals with the psychology of killing on the gunslinger in a real gritty and real way. Just a fantastic Western that still stands the test of time. Other Eastwood classics are Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales. Those sum up our favorite Eastwood westerns with the fellas here. Keep blessed Mary.
Fun fact, the actress that play Clara, Mary Steenburgen was in another time travel movie in 1979. It was called Time After Time. One of her co stars in that movie, Malcolm McDowell, played H.G. Wells. Wells was the author who wrote the Time Machine, which is the book that Clara read that made her believe Doc that was a liar. Mary Steenburgen brought that reference full circle.
I love marty has an ark in each movie Part 1 he overcomes his fears & insecurities (Performing his music) Part 2 he overcomes greed & selfishness (Sports Almanac) Part 3 he overcomes his pride & downfall (getting over being called names/ruining his future)
A little detail I only picked up seeing these reactions, is that the idea that Marty gets to put the stove door under his clothes as a bullet proof vest was actually inspired by the movie Biff was watching in the hot-tub when Marty confronted him about the Rays sports Almanac in the Back to the Future 2.
If you're curious, there's a Back to the Future game by Telltale, which sort of acts as a part 4. Christopher Lloyd reprised his role as Doc, a soundalike does Marty and Michael J Fox has a cameo as another McFly :)
Props for Tom Wilson (Biff) for going through so many roles over the course of the movies. He had to be a -demanding boss -school bully -humbled mechanic -grouchy senior -crazy cyborg -corrupt billionaire -and a western outlaw
The 1st time I saw Eastwood was in a weekly western called Rawhide, from 1959 to 1966. Clint Eastwood was 28 when the series began, although his character was supposed to be 19
Many people mentioned the recent video games that served as a kind of Part 4, but a couple years after this movie there was an animated series. It was an obvious silly kid-aimed show, but it shows that Doc and family all go back to present day Hill Valley to live there. Jules and Verne are main characters. Of course, there's time travel every episode, and of course they always run into Tannens and McFlys all throughout history.
Intrestingly enough, pink was considered male color in 1880´s. Pink became female color in 1940´s when it was decided to market male in blue and female in pink. So doc´s first outfit for Marty might have not been that outrageous as one might think.
One little detail that shows us that the 1985 at the end of the movie is not quite the same as Marty left is that Biff's clothing in the original movie's altered 1985 (and likewise in the beginning of part II) was a green jump suit, but in part III at the end it is a maroon colour.
Mary, you've turned the tables. Now I'm the one scratching my head with your references to video games! 😁 Thanks for taking in the whole trilogy. Although I rank Part 1 in the series above Part 3, I think the final chapter is the ideal ending to a great story.
Ranking them is tough. I think the first is basically perfect and probably best but I do love the third one. It’s great to see the characters develop and the train climax is amazing, with a perfect ending to the trilogy.
Originally, Marty was going to accidentally get horse manure on Buford in the saloon. It was scrapped for two reasons: 1. Since horses were the main form of transportation during that time, people getting manure on them was fairly common; and 2. Since the running gag in the series was a Tannen being covered in manure, they decided it wouldn't make sense to do it twice, so they used the Spittoon instead.

Suggestion, play or watch BttF the Game by TellTale Games, it is basically a direct sequel to this.
Unforgiven
You DIDN'T UNDERSTAND you have to see Clint Eastwood - Fist Full of Dollars
what do you mean @ 5:43 ?
Clint Eastwood was asked for permission about his name being used for Marty in the film. He consented and was quite entertained at the usage of his name.
That just illustrates part of what makes Clint so awesome. He's not afraid to laugh at himself. Despite playing some of the hardest characters in cinema history, Clint is a very kind and good humored person. Probably why he's stuck around as long as he has. I hope I'm anywhere in the ballpark he's in when I get that old. If I get that old. Lol
Also, Marty sees Clint Eastwood in BTTF 2 use the same “bulletproof vest” method in a movie that Biff is watching… when Biff is in the hot tub with the random ladies.
@@PeglegSailor🤡

Doc and Marty using each other’s catchphrases might genuinely be my favorite moment in the whole series. It’s just a brief, sweet moment that shows their friendship so well.
Agreed 😊
@@only257Nope.
Strickland looks pretty class as a marshall.
The band at the festival is legendary Texan rock band ZZ Top and the song they're playing is a Wild West variant of "Doubleback".
It was only supposed to go on for a few minutes, but it got out of hand and everyone on set had such a good time, Robert Zemeckis just let everyone celebrate. When someone wondered, how much more footage they'd need, Zemeckis admitted he got everything he needed an hour earlier and didn't want to sour the mood.
The thing that I always enjoy about ZZ Top's cameo here is that drummer Frank Beard (the only band member without that long beard) finally gets to do his own version the iconic ZZ Top Guitar Spin.
I think if Mary watches a Clint Eastwood western she's just going to mention Red Dead Redemption 1000 times 😅
I really feel like she's missing the central theme of the Old West by constantly asking "Where are the police?" 😁
Well...kind of. We see the sheriff keeping the peace. A lot of shenanigans happened, but there was law enforcement to some degree.
@@nonconsensualopinion Oh sure, there were police, but very very few, spread very thin, and only able to move at the speed of horseback.
Of course, in this movie the real reason the marshall wasn't there at the end is Buford shot him dead on his way into town to face that duded up Clint Eastwood.
But the scene was wisely cut.
But that's why his deputies arrested Tannen at the end instead of the marshall.
If one wants to see "police" in the old west, the movie to see is Wyatt Earp.😉
@@hv3926 or tombstone
@@nonconsensualopinion yeah, but it was made clear that the Sheriff was out of town for the 1st few days of the film.
If you go back and watch Part II after seeing this one, you can see them laying a lot of groundwork for Part III. Buford "Mad Dog" Tannon is mentioned in the video about Biff's rise to fortune as one of his ancestors, Doc mentions wanting to visit the old west as a boyhood fantasy, they even mention the accident with the Rolls Royce that he avoids because he doesn't rise to the chicken taunt as the thing that sent Marty's life into a downward spiral. He works with the driver of the other truck in the future, Needles (played in both movies by Flea, the bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers).
Also when Biff is in the hot tub watching the Clint Eastwood movie he compliments the scene where he uses armor in the gunfight, which Marty borrows for his own gunfight.
@@robhorsey9906BINGO. You have to think 4th dimensionally about this too, in Marty’s life, all three movies take place in about 2 weeks. Part 2 is essentially one REALLY long day (the only “sleep” he gets is when Biff’s goons knock him out for 2 hours). So the Clint Eastwood scene would be about 6 days earlier. Or so.
They also show Marty being good at the video game which comes back when Marty is offered a chance to play the shooting game at the party.
If you want another great western set in Australia then you have got to see QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER. It's one of Tom Selleck's best roles and one of Alan Rickman's best villain performances. It has everything: drama, action, laughs, tears, and romance. I think you would absolutely love it. It's an underrated movie that no one reacts to. Would love to see you get it out there.
It's one of my all time favorite westerns ever.
Absolutely!
It was a great movie, but the constant time of day changes between shots towards the end was jarring to say the least.
Love that movie!
It is surprisingly good !👍
Thank you for being adorable, friendly and upbeat, Ms. Cherry. The internet needs more positivity.
Couldn't agree more , thanks for the the commentary , Mary , made me re-live this realty well put together fun film ! !
Thomas F. Wilson did most of his own stunts for this movie, including horseback riding, gun handling, and learning to use a lasso. He learned well because he became proficient in all of them.
Tom Wilson is fantastic. He's done more films than people realize, but still is known as "Biff". His artwork is very good and his stand-up act is perfect. While BTTF is one of my favorite movies, I really liked the performance and character arc he portrayed as Todd "Maniac" Marshall in the Wing Commander series of games (WC2,3,and Prophesy)
@@chrismaverick9828 From what I've read, Wilson is really a very nice guy. He just played a series of butt heads in this trilogy.😏
I remember watching an interview with Michael J. Fox who also learned horseback riding, and he said he wished someone had told him to wear briefs :)
@@Caseytify One of the nicest and funniest guys you can meet, according to every interview I've seen discussing him. in school he was president of the debate team and played tuba in the band.
Bruce Campbell starred in a Western TV show for one season in 1993 (made with some of the elements that made BTTF 3) and learned how to ride and do gun tricks on the fly during the run of that show.
"Clint Eastwood will be called the biggest Yella belly in the west" That man's name is Pat Buttram, he was on Green Acres and did tons of Disney movies, he was the voice of the Sherriff of Nottingham in the Disney cartoon of Robin Hood
Thank you! I knew that voice sounded oddly familiar but my brain just couldn't place it as being the sheriff.
All three of those codgers in the saloon were in westerns in their early years If I remember right, which is why they were chosen. You gotta have the codgers in the saloon. Or a prospector with a mule parked out back.
Mr. Haney, a favorite from my childhood. Anyone familiar with The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1963?) will remember that version of the '3 old codgers'.
This trilogy has held a special place in my heart from the first time I watched it
I remember seeing it in the West Theater in Norton, Ohio in its original run. I was five. It's still a favorite film to this day.
Well, Australia has every _other_ terrifying hellbeast on Earth, I guess God decided the addition of bears would be too much.
Except for cute, fluffy, stoner bears. 🐨
Very cute. Not bears, though.
Right. I'll take bears over poison spiders any day. I'm not afraid of spiders just I can see and avoid a bear. Much harder to avoid a spider that can kill.
@@Sir_Scrumpalicious You have forgotten about drop bears. Drop bears are sneaky.
@@Sir_Scrumpalicious you gotta be kiddin mate .. spiders are awesome :) if theres no large aggressive spiders in the house .. you can hardly call it a home :)
@@dcplunkett yeah, everyone forgets about Drop Bears. Sneaky, murderous buggers 😉
Great reaction, Mary. You nearly made me emotional with your excitement at the end and I"ve watched the trilogy dozens of times.
The first movie was about Marty. The second movie was about Biff. And the last movie was about the Doc. So that's how the story keeps the audience interested because each movie revolved around a different character so subtly that we don't even notice it. This is one of the best written trilogies of all time and even 38 years later, it still holds up because of the incredible story telling. Keep up the great work.
The fact that they filmed the last 2 sequels concurrently still spins my mind into HTF did they do that. Few tidbits: the brown water and metal bits at the frontier feast w/the McFlys was there was no running water in pioneer days and that's buckshot from the rabbit or whatever they are noshing on that was hunted for their meal. The use of the stove top by Marty is a nod to one of Clint's spaghetti westerns (and yes Mary get on those!) When Doc says 'Who's Clint Eastwood?' at the drive-in is an Easter egg for it is in 1955 and there's poster for the sci-fi classic TARANTULA in which Clint has a cameo in the film's climax as a fighter pilot who kills the giant arachnid (one of his first earliest onscreen performances).
Also my favorite of the series. I love the blend of modern and western, and it's a great conclusion to the trilogy with good references to the first 2 while still standing on its own.
Thomas F. Wilson who plays the roll of Biff is one hell of a comedian and well loved person in real life. For a guy that played 7 different rolls in the Back to the future movies (and he did them really good), he should had get much more attention as an actor then he got.
Great reaction!
Another of his great roles he gets no mention for is the Wing Commander games. For part 3 and 4 of that series they shot essentially full motion pictures worth of live action cut scenes start Thomas and Mark Hamil. Good stuff.
I was blown away by his versatility in these movies, and I agree it's kind of rotten that he did not become a huge star as a result. I would have loved to see what he could have done with some other juicy roles.
Rumor has it before the Internet and media, Thomas did not want to be the bully, he wanted to be a good guy in the movie, that explains why he was such a good bully and awesome friendly Biff.
Part of the reason Mary Steenburgen was cast as Clara was because of a film she made ten years before called TIME AFTER TIME. Both writer/director Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale were fans of that film because it also dealt with time travel. It stars Malcolm McDowell as H.G. Wells and David Warner as Jack the Ripper. It’s directed by Nicholas Meyer; who directed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
David Warner was great in Time Bandits, and also in Tron.
"Time After Time" is absolutely worth watching.
@@shawbrosand in Wing Commander, opposite David Suchet
Time After Time is super underrated
Time after Time is a woefully underappreciated movie. 95% of the time when I mention it to people, they've never heard of it.
During the hanging scene, Michael actually did choke, and after they stopped, they had to get him to a hospital.
Alan Silvestri not only did the score for all 3 Back To The Future films but he also did American Anthem, Flight of the Navigator, Father of the Bride I & II, The Parent Trap 1998, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit
You missed other importants movies he scored such as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, The Predator and Night at the Museum.
He also composed the MCU's Avengers theme.
5:19 I love that he says that while standing right next to a poster for Clint Eastwood's first movie. One of my favorite subtle movie jokes
Such a good/fun movie. I really like what Doc said to Marty and Jennifer at the end. It's touching/uplifting
Yes, and delivered perfectly by Lloyd. Great ending to the series.
As this historically accurate documentary film shows, trains and great romance stories go hand in hand.
Extraordinary in depth commentary of the movie, perfect. 🏆
Hopefully, after this, you put "A Fistful Of Dollars" on the schedule. That's the Clint Eastwood Western Biff was watching in the screwed up 1985 in BTTF 2 & Marty homaged with the makeshift bulletproof vest in this movie.
Hopefully, she watches the entire trilogy.
Gotta do the Dollars Trilogy!
@@Paul_1971 for a more recent one .. Hostiles, christian bale .. great job :)
I absolutely LOVED your reaction to this. So glad you FINALLY completed the classic trilogy!! :)
The most heartbreaking scene in this movie was the destruction of The Delorean. There was a cartoon spin off with Doc and family traveling to famous historical events educating the kids
I loved that cartoon.
Wish more people remembered this cartoon
It's a sequel, not a spin-off.
One of only THREE sequel lines.
I think it came on right after Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure cartoon on Saturday morning
Woohoo! I was waiting for you to finally see this one! And I agree, Part III is the best! 🤠
int this a re upload?
What a film! I saw this in the theater, and when the train started taking off, you could've peeled me off the ceiling, I was so giddy with nerd-citement!
Nice catch on the Ravine name! Not a lot of watchers catch that Shonash Ravine turned into Eastwood Ravine instead of Clayton Ravine! Well done! And the picture of Doc (by himself) with the clock tower clock that got torn up in the destruction of the Delorean was the one they snagged from the 1955 library. Doc gave Marty the one with both of them in it. And Marty knew what to do in the duel with the cast iron stove door as that was in the scene in the Clint Eastwood movie Biff was watching in the alternate 1985 in his casino in the hot tub.
It’s always nice to see this movie get love and attention, it’s definitely underrated
This is something I seldom see addressed in these reaction videos. Marty's western outfit in the 1950's was actually how children and some movies dressed cowboys. Fringes were a big thing. I had something similar when I was growing up. It was considered authentic and macho back then because that's how Hollywood portrayed it. It wasn't designed as some social comentary. I like it when I see reactors looking at these movies through the lens of the time and not their world view.
The atomic symbols on the shirt should be a giveaway. ;)
My favorite movie trilogy of all time! I didn't watch it until 2015 and it definitely shaped me into the person I am today. I took this movie so much to heart and the "your future is whatever you make it" line will always be a motto I live by.
Wow, just heartening to hear someone who saw these movies that recently, embrace them so much!
The one thing that proves Clara wasn’t thinking fully over Docs story about being a time traveller: old man slips up and talks about reading a ten year old book when he was a boy makes perfect sense if he came from the future as he claims.
Marty wouldn’t have died in the accident, you saw his fate in the second movie.
People back in the day never locked doors or worried about theft. Even here in the 50s-60s people would leave their homes unlocked and could relay on neighbours.
Rely* but yes and still accurate in some places
Its still the case in small farm towns. Most people have arms because the police will show up 20-30 min later in the case of a break in.
Doc being able to make the new machine at the end makes sense. Remember: There is a version of the DeLorean in a mine waiting to be found in the 50s; he could easily reverse engineer (and now he has an assistant so he probably figured out a lot of stuff he couldn't initially) and just make sure he put it back once he was done.
Mary, if you're interested, Telltale Games developed a game which continues the story of Back to the Future. The story takes place about a year after the events of the trilogy and the time travel bits take place mostly in 1876 and 1931. It fleshes out Doc Brown's character as a young man and how he became a scientist.
The game isn't set in the same universe as the movies but the developers acted as if it were. They used the same characters (voiced by their original actors) and took care not to contradict the events of the movies. Bob Gale was their story consultant. He said the game could have taken place in a different timeline where the events of the trilogy still happened.
The game is pretty much a lot of point-and-click and puzzles but the story is linear. Adam Koralik played through the games and edited them into two movies. (The game itself is divided into five episodes.) They're still uploaded here on RUclips. Except for some dodgy editing and the game's mid 2000s graphics and artwork, they're very watchable.
"Duded up" dude was a cowboy term for city folks that liked to go out to Dude Ranches and play cowboy for a few days. Was considered an insult.
Oh and the music at the festival is actually “Doubleback” played on simple instruments and an arrangement. And the three musicians are actually ZZ Top themselves 😁
I love they do their classic guitar spin, and Marty is like "Wait, what?"
marty playing music would have been a great inclusion to this movie. that’s a really good idea! 😂
I love that you're referencing so much of the feel of this to Red Dead Redemption 2. I am about halfway through playing that right now!
Yes, Clint Eastwood and John Wayne are considered like the top guys in American Western movies. Clint Eastwood had a trilogy of movies that were made by an Italian director, which coined the term "spaghetti western". It's "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".
John Wayne... Gacy... and this is crazy 🙂
I've been watching you're channel for 4 year's now & you've always been my #1 favorite movie reactor!😊
Fun fact. Michael J. Fox almost choked to death filming that rope chase scene. Luckily, that didn't happen, but he was literally almost killed during that scene, which makes you appreciate him more as an actor, and how dedicated he was to the project.
A sad fact: while filming this movie Michael J. Fox first noticed neurological changes in his legs that eventually led to his diagnosis of Parkinson’s 😢
What annoys me about this movie is in 1875 there is 2 time machines, the one doc traveled in and the one marty come back in, take the gas from docs one and spare parts and make a list so 1955 doc can replace the fuel and what not... It would be so easy to get back if they would just think 4th dimensionally.
10:01 Dark Theory Time. Doctor Emmitt Brown a Known Pacificist just happens to have a Sniper Rifle on that very day? It is more likely that Doc Brown was too late and saw Marty HUNG. He eventually fixes the Time Machine and goes back to this moment to prevent the hanging.
5:19
"Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this!"
In the background is a poster for 'Revenge of the Creature' from 1955 which was Clint Eastwood's first movie.
In Back to the Future 2 there is a scene where Biff is watching a Clint Eastwood movie. That scene foreshadows 2 things in the 3rd movie. The use of Clint's name of course and also something that Marty does
A fantastic ending to this spectacular trilogy! Also, please watch Dogma.
It's impossible to find. Gotta find on VHS or pirated copy.
also, being called a chicken might be a reference to a 1950’s james dean movie called Rebel Without A Cause.
The moment that the DeLorean hits 88 mph right before the end of the track sign, with the pair of fire trails, always gives me goosebumps.
I'm surprised Mary is old enough to know about Schfifty Five. Early 2000's what a time to be a teenager on the internet.
Since you mentioned that you like westerns in the intro… I’m not big on westerns in general, but there is a western made in the 80’s called Silverado that is one of my all time favorites. Great cast with a little humor sprinkled in amongst the more serious themes. Oh, and the remake of True Grit is worth a watch too😊
I prefer the original from 1968, although I'll admit Matt Damon did a better job than Glen Campbell as the ranger.
Agreed, Silverado is excellent. Huge cast and fantastic cinematography.
Yes, Silverado all the way! My favorite western. Cast, story, music, everything is spot on.
Christopher Lloyd and Mary Steenburgen had been together before in the Western, Goin South. So it was kind of cool to see them together again.
I was in class when I heard that they were filming the ending nearby.
It was filmed at the tracks near the west end of Ventura rd in Port Hueneme, CA.
The beach is nearby with pier.
Fun Fact: The moment Marty says "there is no bridge" on the map at the train station, you can see Clara in the background with her back turned waiting for the train.
14:10 It's called a "bustle" and it was the fashion of the day. In addition to enhancing the silhouette, it was also useful for keeping the train of the skirt from dragging on the ground
Now the one problem I have with this movie: the Time Machine "jumps" from a wooden trestle bridge, but arrives on a steel truss bridge. That means that at some point in the last 100 years, the bridge was torn down and replaced. When they do that with an active bridge, the new one is built *beside* the old one and the roadbed is diverted onto the new track. That means that Marty would have appeared in mid air and dropped to his death, all because Doc failed to think fourth-dimensionally :P
OMG! The Schfifty-Five reference...
Such a throwback, and no one ever gets it when I make the reference.😭
"Schiggity schwat? Schfifty five"😂
They filmed BTTF part 2 and 3 together as a single project... They just released part 3 later on. That's a great business move.
6 months in between.. Insane.. They literally released part 2 on vhs just days before 3 was in theaters.
@@mcgilj1 Remember that 89-90...great days....
3 weeks time off
The primary motivation was to shoot part three before Fox got visibly older.
Seeing the DeLorean get smashed at the end always hurts... also I don't love the flying train ending although it is nice. I think I would have prefered Marty going to the library or archive or something and found a picture of Doc and his family living happily in the 1880s would have been better... maybe
Part II & III were filmed, back to back.
I loved the teaser trailer for Part III at the end of Part II.
Couldn't wait to see how it would end.
Part III is the only film in the series that i've seen in theaters.
Marty overcoming his fear and finally going home.
ELB having his own story and growth for more than just science.
3 of the band members (2 guitarists and 1 drummer) was the real-life legendary band, ZZ Top.
They performed the film's song, "Doubleback", heard within the ceremony and in the end credits.
I played the video game, BTTF part II & part III.
Both stories in one game for the Sega Genesis.
Very complicated to play and full of craziness.
There was an animated series and ran between 2 networks.
It ran 2 seasons (26 episodes) with the adventures of Marty, Einstein, ELB with his wife and kids.
Both vehicles, the Train and a new Delorean are used.
A couple of castmembers from the films were involved as voices.
Thomas F. Wilson reprised as Tannen characters (obviously) and Mary Steenburgen reprised her role as Clara.
Universal Studios opened the BTTF ride afterwards in Hollywood and Orlando, Florida.
This was a solid ending to the trilogy.
In fact, a definition of what every trilogy should be.
Glad to have witnessed it.
I never understood why Doc didn't take Clara based on keeping the timeline correct. It would be totally scientific. She was supposed to die in the ravine. Her running around alive alters the timeline. He should have just convinced her to go with him and Marty in the first place.
The train was exploding around him. I think Doc’s instinct was just to get Clara to safety and he wasn’t concerned in the moment about getting into back into the Delorean. It’s basically the payoff to the Doc’s character development and it works for me. We also would have been robbed of the awesome unexpected ending.
Never thought about it that way. Real good point there. 👍
@Brendan Sheehy but also the night before when he said goodbye. He could have tried to convince her to go with him
Because she's the impossible girl.
because plot.

29:54 - "How did they shoot this?" They used a combination of a full-scale train and car, model miniatures and pyrotechnics.
Though the film series completed, the Back to the Future story has continued: there was the Back to the Future game by Telltale Games which acts like a "Part IV", which Bob Gale (who co-created the series with Robert Zemeckis) had a hand in writing. There is also a comic series that adapted the game, but also explored alternate timelines, and one story even serving as a prequel about how Doc and Marty met in the 1980s. There was a ride at Universal Studios that closed down in Hollywood and Orlando, but is still open in Japan (which many fans have enjoyed. You can find the videos from the ride on RUclips, including the pre-show videos).
Mary! Your eyes lighting up when Doc appeared to Marty and Jennifer in the train was worth the price of admission. By the way, remember when Marty used the cast-iron oven door as a shield? Do you recall, in the second movie, when Biff was watching a Clint Eastwood movie in the hot tub? Clint did the same thing, using a piece of metal as a shield. :)
5:40 'They didn't know any better at the time'. I'm sure I was this uninformed when I was younger. We all always seem to think we're the first generation to learn things. And Native Americans weren't pacifists. They were slaughtering, enslaving and sacrificing each other long before the Europeans arrived.
There is also a 26-part animated "Back to the Future" series with live action segments starring Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown !
And a video game starring Christopher Lloyd and Thomas Wilson.
@@Jutrzen There was a video game?!! or are you talking about Universal's ride?
@@bligabliga Yes. It's from Telltale Games (2010) and you can think of it as the fourth part of "Back to the Future".
Your sarcastic facial expressions towards MadDog are priceless 🤣😂
Great wonderful reaction! I love Mary Steenburgen in this. Check her out in 2 of my favorite films, TIME AFTER TIME (1979) and MELVIN AND HOWARD (1980) for which she won an Oscar. Best Clint Westerns imo are THE OUTLAW JOSIE WALES (1975) and UNFORGIVEN (1992l both directed by Eastwood.
"Time After Time" is one of my favorites too.
22:41 Mary, I just LOVE your whole set of responses & reactions to Doc holding his shot, taking it, taking the wake up juice, everything. Just hilarious.
My order is 1, 3 (but very close behind, and sometimes, like this year, I even think that it is the favorite), 2. I love 1 and 3, but merely like 2 because I find that Part II has no heart to it, as it mainly deals with time travel shenanigans, not the character relationships or emotional stakes that I watch the trilogy for. I like hearing when someone likes III the best because the fandom over the years has called it the worst, sometimes simply because it's a Western, and I think it deserves more credit for its satisfying conclusion and character development. It also, somewhat surprisingly, gets a number of historical details right, such as the costumes (the women's dresses are accurate and everyone's wearing a hat all the time), slang, and even the fact that nobody first-names Marty as "Clint". They all call him "Mr Eastwood", as first names were reserved for family and close friends. That Clara quickly goes from calling Doc "Mr Brown" to "Emmett" shows how soon they've developed an emotional connection. I like details like that.
These are some of the most rewatchable movies ever. You really can watch them a hundred times or more and still get more out of them, notice more details, and not get bored (trust me, I know). I hope you watch them many more times. Welcome to the fandom!
The three old timers in the bar are classic character actors known for classic westerns since the sixties. Awesome of them to use them
Harry Carey Jr was in several Classic John Wayne movies his entire life (son of the late, great actor Harry Carey Sr. who was a longtime friend and mentor to John Wayne. The list of the movies that they were in with John Wayne are too long to list(starting with the all-time great Classic"Stagecoach"). They were among the select few that the late, great director John Ford would always use in his movies.
I mean, if he shot Buford Tannen, there would be no Biff. That would then have deleted a lot of the plots of the original movies, and we couldn't have that!
I'm glad to see you liked this trilogy. It's absolutely one of my favorites, and I say that parts 1 and 3 tie for the best. Two is still good, but just a slight bit lower.
Even if Marty leaves the Delorean unlocked I'm sure no one in 1855 will know how to drive it
In no particular order - the whiskey Marty is served scorched the bar because it's supposedly that strong. The saloon old-timers are played by three veteran character actors with about 150 combined years of experience in film and television, including westerns. The Frisbee did indeed get its name from the Frisbee Pie Company after college students began flinging the empty tins back and forth. The unstated joke about Strickland is that, whereas the previous versions of him were consistently bald, the ancestor had an excess of hair. The train engineer is played by Bill McKinney who had supporting roles in the films "Deliverance" and "The Green Mile". The Colt pistol salesman is Burton Gilliam who had a significant supporting role in "Blazing Saddles". The expansive backdrop surrounding Hill Valley, California is actually Monument Valley, Arizona, filming location for many classic westerns. Other worthwhile westerns you might check out include "My Darling Clementine", "Winchester '73", "Open Range", either theatrical version of "Stagecoach" ( some may disagree with that ), and "Silverado". For a flat out comic western, try "A Million Ways To The In The West" - which also includes a nice little "Easter Egg". Paretnhetically, this is the second time travel film starring Mary Steenburgen - and she for real married her leading man from the earlier film.
I am also happy that Marty doesn't gaslight Jennifer at the end by trying to convince her it was all a dream. That dishonesty would have put a sour note on the ending. And Doc has changed his mind too because he answers her question happily, accepting that she knows the truth. I understand why Doc would want Jennifer to think it was a dream in Part II, just to simply things, but gaslighting isn't the answer, and I'm glad Marty and Doc didn't hold to the original plan. I think Marty and Jennifer will have a deeper bond because they are the only ones (aside from Doc, whenever he chooses to time travel to see them) they can talk to about their time travel experiences.
Excellent edit of this brilliant trilogy saga. I've long enjoyed what The Bobs did with the trilogy,, Your compression retained the heart of the saga/ Big plus up. 👍👍
Mary, I'm so glad you finished this trilogy, Mary Steenburgen did a good job and glad that Doc finally got his woman and had Jules and Verne and settled down with a family. This was fun. I do suggest John Wayne's last Western film called The Shootist. You'll like it, it has a great cast. Few Clint Eastwood films: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, The Eiger Sanction, Dirty Harry, Any Which Way You Can, The Outlaw Josey Wales, High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, Pink Cadillac, Gran Turino, Blood Work, Tightrope, The Gauntlet, all from memory haha.
That was Needles who challenged Marty to a race. In BTTF2 older Needles convinced older Marty in a bad business deal which got him fired.
It was mentioned in BTTF2 that Marty was injured in a car crash with a Rolls Royce, and he was no longer able to play a guitar. That crash was prevented when Marty refused to race.
I liked how the pacing and style was changed in BTTF3 to match the time they were in. BTTF2 was fast paced to match being in the high-tech future. BTTF3 was slower paced to match the Wild West.
Having more fun with this than i expected you too- nice!
Hi Mary the fellas and I were sitting here and they were just telling me if you’re going down the Clint Eastwood Westerns route, the fellas wanted you to look into Unforgiven which is an absolute classic about an aging gunslinger and deals with the psychology of killing on the gunslinger in a real gritty and real way. Just a fantastic Western that still stands the test of time. Other Eastwood classics are Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales. Those sum up our favorite Eastwood westerns with the fellas here. Keep blessed Mary.
Fun fact, the actress that play Clara, Mary Steenburgen was in another time travel movie in 1979. It was called Time After Time. One of her co stars in that movie, Malcolm McDowell, played H.G. Wells. Wells was the author who wrote the Time Machine, which is the book that Clara read that made her believe Doc that was a liar. Mary Steenburgen brought that reference full circle.
I love marty has an ark in each movie
Part 1 he overcomes his fears & insecurities (Performing his music)
Part 2 he overcomes greed & selfishness (Sports Almanac)
Part 3 he overcomes his pride & downfall (getting over being called names/ruining his future)
A little detail I only picked up seeing these reactions, is that the idea that Marty gets to put the stove door under his clothes as a bullet proof vest was actually inspired by the movie Biff was watching in the hot-tub when Marty confronted him about the Rays sports Almanac in the Back to the Future 2.
If you're curious, there's a Back to the Future game by Telltale, which sort of acts as a part 4. Christopher Lloyd reprised his role as Doc, a soundalike does Marty and Michael J Fox has a cameo as another McFly :)
Props for Tom Wilson (Biff) for going through so many roles over the course of the movies.
He had to be a
-demanding boss
-school bully
-humbled mechanic
-grouchy senior
-crazy cyborg
-corrupt billionaire
-and a western outlaw
The 1st time I saw Eastwood was in a weekly western called Rawhide, from 1959 to 1966. Clint Eastwood was 28 when the series began, although his character was supposed to be 19
Part 3 of back to the future literally changed everything for me. best film of all time
Many people mentioned the recent video games that served as a kind of Part 4, but a couple years after this movie there was an animated series. It was an obvious silly kid-aimed show, but it shows that Doc and family all go back to present day Hill Valley to live there. Jules and Verne are main characters. Of course, there's time travel every episode, and of course they always run into Tannens and McFlys all throughout history.
For Eastwood westerns I recommend The Good the bad and the ugly, Fistful of Dollars, Outlaw Josie Wales and Unforgiven.
Intrestingly enough, pink was considered male color in 1880´s. Pink became female color in 1940´s when it was decided to market male in blue and female in pink. So doc´s first outfit for Marty might have not been that outrageous as one might think.

Part III is awesome, your reaction was the best!
This is a bizarrely excellent film! It was NOT expected back in the day!
One little detail that shows us that the 1985 at the end of the movie is not quite the same as Marty left is that Biff's clothing in the original movie's altered 1985 (and likewise in the beginning of part II) was a green jump suit, but in part III at the end it is a maroon colour.
Mary, you've turned the tables. Now I'm the one scratching my head with your references to video games! 😁
Thanks for taking in the whole trilogy. Although I rank Part 1 in the series above Part 3, I think the final chapter is the ideal ending to a great story.
Ranking them is tough. I think the first is basically perfect and probably best but I do love the third one. It’s great to see the characters develop and the train climax is amazing, with a perfect ending to the trilogy.
The actor who plays Needles is the bassist of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea
What a fun reaction from you. Always good to see the classics(pains me to say classics lol) like this still hold up with new audiences. :)
Originally, Marty was going to accidentally get horse manure on Buford in the saloon. It was scrapped for two reasons: 1. Since horses were the main form of transportation during that time, people getting manure on them was fairly common; and 2. Since the running gag in the series was a Tannen being covered in manure, they decided it wouldn't make sense to do it twice, so they used the Spittoon instead.
