What an incredible trilogy!!! I personally really loved this film. From the old western setting to Marty actually being a really good shot, it was just super entertaining. Enjoy :)

"Eastwood Ravine" its on a signpost on train tracks when Marty gets back.

[@JohnDoe-dw3hj]

You asked what Clayton Ravine is called after the train gone in and it was answered but I think you missed it. When Marty is on the train tracks there's a sign that says Eastwood Ravine

[@SirHilaryManfat]

I never understood the dislike for this one. It's great how Back to the Future 2 kicked up the future time travelling aspect to make it different from the first, but it lacked some of the heart and soul of the original. I think Back to the Future 3 replicates what made the original so great, and gives the characters a perfect send off. The first one is definitively the best, but for me the third one is lowkey my favourite.

[@christopherb501]

Probably it's unhealthy genre zealotry.

[@melanie62954]

I agree. The second one is my least favorite because it retreads so much of the same material as the first. For me it's 1, 3, 2.

[@shmick6079]

I like them all, but 2 is probably my favourite for how it shows how easily time travel can be abused, and the way it is written with the alternate reality, and needing to go back to the past etc.

[@exalkalibor924]

The 3rd is kinda completely different than the 1st and 2nd because they are more modern between 85, 2015 and 50s. Their life in old west does not revolve around the same people in 1st and 2nd but more ancestry. Its not about the invention of time machine and time travel but they just wanna go home.

[@SirHilaryManfat]

@@shmick6079 The alternative reality part with Biff is brilliant!

What’s crazy is Michael J Fox actually almost asphyxiated during the hanging scene cuz something went wrong. And the youngest of Doc’s kids…when he pointed down….he was actually alerting directors off camera that he had to use the bathroom 😅😅😅😅

[@k1productions87]

The apparatus was made to allow him some room to breathe. Yet his own actions of putting his hands between the ropes and his neck had pressed the center of the right right up against his throat. At first, they thought he was just selling it, but they learned afterward that he was legit choking.

[@michaelwinkle4480]

At the drive-in, when Marty says Clint Eastwood never dressed like this and the Doc asks, "Who?", there are two posters up on the concession stand advertising the 1955 films "Tarantula" and "Revenge of the Creature." Both of these sci-fi movies have been touted as Clint Eastwood's first film appearances (he played a lab assistant in "Revenge" and an Air Force pilot in "Tarantula", both bit parts).

[@k1productions87]

In a way, creating a brand new Time Machine from 19th Century parts would be much easier than trying to repair a Time Machine built using late 20th Century parts. It probably also helped having a fresh perspective from another scientist, and several years to work on it, as opposed to eight months.

[@Jaden_The_Celestial]

So here’s a fun thing for ya! In the scene where Doc and Marty are looking at the map of the railroad, there’s a moment where you can see Clara standing (with her back turned) in the background. That’s supposed to be the moment where Doc was supposed to pick her up. But because he instead went to help Marty, he forgot to pick her up which leads her to get a carriage herself which then leads to her almost falling over the cliff. Doc would’ve eventually had to meet Clara anyway. Not to mention the both of them were supposed to originally die in their own original timelines. Funny ain’t it? lol

[@lornepribbeno3760]

Take a moment to consider the timelines from all the characters perspective through out the trilogy. For Doc, its a matter of 30 - 40 years or so. For Marty, roughly 2 weeks and change. For the everyone in 1985 (even though their lives kept changing) its only been 48 hours.

[@Moviefan2k4]

The amount of time that passes for Doc is actually about 12 years. The only authorized material that I'm aware of is the 2010 Telltale video game, which lists 1914 as his year of birth. This makes him 71 in 1985, and he spends 8 months in the Old West during most of the third film. The finale shows him with a family, which increases things somewhat. Assuming he and Clara got married within a year after Marty left 1885, and the older of their children was approximately 10 years old, that makes Doc about 83 by the trilogy's end.

[@pendorran]

This is the second time that Mary Steenburgen ("Clara") has played the love interest of a time traveler. In 1979's 'Time After Time', H.G. Wells chased Jack the Ripper into the future and falls for Mary's characters

[@HomeBrewHistoryandLore]

Some trivia for you. 1. I'm pretty sure the band is ZZ top. 2. The guy talking to doc about barbed wire is Joseph Glidden, he's the inventor of barbed wire and one of the "men who tamed the west" his invention helped bring large scale livestock and thus civility to much of the wild west. 3. There is a depressing as hell deleted scene where Mad Dog kills the marshal while he is out hunting with his son. There is a moment where we see the little boy holding his dying father and crying. I'm glad they removed it. 4. Needles is played by Flea, the bassist for the red hot chili peppers. 5. Marty's dad was recast because Crispin Glover went a bit wacky after the first film.

[@joeeyaura]

yes that was zz top, them spinning their guitars was their signature thing in the 80s

[@Matuse]

That is all correct except the last. Crispin Glover did not go whacky. He wanted more money and they couldn't come to an arrangement. The producers ended up using his likeness without compensating him. He sued them and won.

@@ryans413 No, the one Doc arrived in is still in the mine shaft they get it out of at the start of the movie. They use Marty's one to get back to the future. But it's entirely possible that Doc got parts from the one in the mine, went to the future in the train and then came back to replace them in the mine immediately so theres no break in the continuity. OR he could have used parts from the hoverboard Marty left him.

My sister and I watched this trilogy non-stop on VHS in the early 90s (alternating with the Indiana Jones trilogy) ;)

[@dafterite]

4:40 - In 1955 Japan was still in the middle of recovering from WWII. Even 10 years later when I was a kid in the 1960s Japan was known for producing mainly cheap toys and trinkets of only middling quality, and their cars had very little respect in the U.S. until the 1965-66 Toyota Corona. That's what Doc was referring to in 1955 with his quip about the device being made in Japan. It was only by the 1970s and onward that Japan was known for high quality electronics and heavy manufacturing products.

[@joshuaminke6629]

the best one in the trilogy in my opinion. just love the setting

[@waidi3242]

I heard somewhere that when they were making the scene where Marty gets hung, Michael J. Fox really WAS suffocating but one of the person in the crew realised it and luckily they got him down in time.

[@exalkalibor924]

[@k1productions87]

@@kateorgera5907 It wasn't the harnass' fault, it was Fox's fault. It was built to give him enough room to breathe, but when he stuck his hands under the rope and pulled to the sides, it tightened the center of it right up against his throat.

[@tfrowlett8752]

15:00 Fridges could technically be made around that time period, even without modern refrigerants, ammonia, Sulfur dioxide or ether can be used, you just need something to compress the gas, and a restriction in the flow to create a pressure differential so it absorbs heat on one side of the circuit and releases it in another part. There were some attempts from the 1870’s, but the fridges were hand pumped since there was no electricity and the refrigerant would leak out very quickly.

[@wackyvorlon]

Honestly, the third is my favourite. We get to see Doc find love and happiness. As for character arc, in the first movie the character arc belonged to George, not Marty. They hadn’t originally planned on a sequel (the ending of the first movie was just one last gag), so when the sequels were green lit they had to come up with something for Marty to improve upon. They decided that Marty seemed kind of like something of a hothead, so they went with that. And a fun fact: Frisbie Pies was a real company, and people did indeed start throwing around the pie tins inspiring the modern frisbee.

[@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF]

small correction, all main characters have arcs. so the first movie didn't belong to, or even focus on george's arc. it's just that george's was the only positive arc, which is the only kind of character arc casual viewers/readers tend to pick up on, so it stands out to people more and makes it seem as if it was the focus of the movie. both marty and doc had flat arcs. though i guess one could argue doc had a very short positive arc, regarding the letter marty wrote for him. (also if you consider lorraine a main character rather than a side character, i would say hers was positive too, just kinda messy and more in the background.) oh and that frisbee fact is just so funny to me! humans always gotta take something made for a specific purpose, and use it for another one entirely, inadvertently inventing a whole new thing. humans always gonna human i guess 😂

I choose to believe that Doc used some of the components from The Hoverboard to make a new Flux Capacitor.

[@monsoon1234567890]

Removing almost all the technology from the 3rd movie was a choice..., but it was all worth it for that awesome train sequence.

[@ionryful]

My theory is that Doc used whatever future tech the hoverboard had with the Delorean that the Doc still had to make the train.

[@exalkalibor924]

See how much age their kids are takes that long time to build the train and whats more how long did doc spent in the future to float that train and the train looks futuristic for 1885.

[@tylersmith187]

No he used parts from the Delorean in the mine shaft. That’s how he got another flux capacitor.

[@GuyWithNoNickName]

⁠@@tylersmith187 That’s…what he said. Doc used the delorean that he still had in the past, AS WELL AS the hoverboard technology. Doc used them both.

[@patrickedger2448]

This entire trilogy did for the late 80's crowd what The Lord Of The Rings did for the 2000's crowd - tell a fantastical story over 3 movies that got you hooked and wanting to finish the journey. Such a brilliant set of movies that, in its time period, could only be matched by Star Wars.

[@seanspartan2023]

Remember that when Marty left the final time to go home over the bridge, Doc still had access to the car he'd hidden in the mine. Plus he also had the hoverboard to salvage the flying circuits and spare parts from. Once Doc repaired the time vehicle, he could start construction on the temporal train, making trips to the future for parts and circuitry. It would be safer to construct it in the Old West. Plus the train robbery and its destruction were all blamed on Clint Eastwood who was thought to have died in the crash (hence Eastwood ravine). Finally, after constructing and testing the train Doc restored the car to its previous broken condition and hid it back in the mine for Marty and his 50's self to find. Then he took the train to get Einstein and meet Marty to say goodbye. All this took enough years to have two kids.

[@whattha_huh]

The Doc explained in the first movie that the Delorean was used because of the stainless steel. Trains are made of steel. Also the flux capacitor looks like it's just made of glass tubes and circuitry, which were possible back then. Plus, the age of his kids helps with figuring out how long it took to make. He probably came from around 1900 or so.

[@MrEvers]

At one point in 1955 there were 4 DeLoreans: • The one getting prepped for Marty to return to 1985 • Biff going back with the sports almanac • Doc and Marty going back to stop Biff • The DeLorean hidden in the mineshaft

Well acted, Well written , and timeless . " Pun Intended" Hehehe.

[@gamezx]

A thought just occurs to me. In the 1st movie doc ripped up marty's letter, threw it into the trash before fixing the cable for the lightning bolt. The fact he had the letter again in the future means he must have had second thoughts right after sending marty back and picked the letter pieces back out again right after that scene. But now doc fainted right after that scene and was taken home, having a nice emotional farewell with marty, so he never took the letter back in this timeline. Even if he goes back there its probably been lost under more trash, blown away in the storm or the trash has been emptied by now. So shouldnt him not having marty's letter mean he should die in 1985 and thus cant be in the past?

[@Galiant2010]

Maybe Marty, now knowing that Doc had the letter, saw the pieces and collected them and brought them back to Doc's house with him for him to find. Or... Marty kept saying "About the night I go back" and maybe Doc found just enough pieces in this alternate timeline that maybe said "you get shot" and Doc put two and two together and just decided to remember wearing a vest on that night, but no longer had the whole taped up letter to show Marty when he returned from 1955.

[@klopferator]

He didn't throw the pieces into the trash. Just after he ripped up the letter, the cable disconnected, so he stuffed the pieces of the letter into the pockets of his coat and went to get the rope.

[@colegensch787]

The train at the end was my favorite part of back to the future part 3 The part that showed it Being thrown off the cliff was actually a miniature quarter scale train while the real locomotive took quite a beating with those presto logs And the time machine train with the E.L.B. was actually based off one the French novelist Jules vern's imagination that he never even finished such as the part where the train flies which was incredible. But the train in back to the future part 3 was my favorite part of the movie.

[@miked.7245]

43:27 I’m not sure if you noticed but the very next scene when Marty appears in 1985 it says “Eastwood Ravine” on the sign.

[@lunchboxradio5890]

Things you may have missed: In the first film, Marty's truck, the black Hilux was being sold at Statler Toyota. In this movie, the buckboard that Clara had rented and subsequently crashed was from Mr. Statler, indicating that the family has been in the transportation business for at least a century. Same goes for the Jones family, only they were in the manure hauling business for at least 70 years, 1885-1955. The band at the festival was actually ZZ Top. They were playing an acoustic version of their song "Doubleback", the actual version plays at the ending credits. Maggie McFly was actually played by Claudia Wells, who played Jennifer in the second and third movies. Needles, who appears in the second and third films is played by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. One thing you couldn't have known: Michael J Fox was pretty seriously injured during the filming of the hanging scene. Apparently the rigging wasn't set up correctly, and he was actually hanged in real life.

[@Galiant2010]

Maggie McFly was played by Lea Thompson, who was Marty's mother. Not his girlfriend, Jennifer.

[@krdragon6950]

This is Mary Steenburgen second time travel movie, the first being the 1979 "Time After Time,". That’s all I’m going to say in case you plan on watching it for your channel.

The final chapter in the BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy, and a heartfelt goodbye to this fun Sci Fi Adventure Series.

[@Galiant2010]

At first I was confused as to how Marty would recall the ravine being called Clayton Ravine. Since in Doc's letter he mentioned meeting Clara, which means that she didn't die in the ravine because he met her at the train station. So in the new, post Part II version of 1985, it would've then already not been called Clayton Ravine because Doc being there changed things. But we see here that first thing that happened when she arrived was losing control of her wagon and she would've died. So *just Doc alone* being in the past, before Marty also came back, he was there to meet Clara at the train station and take her to her new home. But with Marty there, Doc forgot to pick Clara up so it was almost back on track to the original timeline of events of her going over the edge.

[@gibbs615]

This was one HELL of a 3rd part wasn't it?! One thing I'm proud of is when Marty finally learned to stop letting someone calling him "Chicken" get to him all the time.

[@foreverkent2225]

Nah remember, Marty did have an arc in the first movie. Though I guess it doesn’t get resolved quite as nicely as in the other two. But, remember at the beginning he auditioned for the playing at the school dance and then he felt like maybe he had no future and it wasn’t worth pursuing because of the fear of rejection, after they told him he was too loud. Then when he goes back in time he realizes his father had the same fear, and ended up letting that fear dictate the rest of his life. So Marty is able to inspire his father to change and gain confidence and he does get to play at a dance in the end. But I guess you’re right, there should’ve been some moment in the present to solidify that going back and inspiring his father had an impact on him and that he’s not gonna let a fear of rejection run his life.

IDW Comics did a series that explains little ‘plot holes’ of the franchise. Doc builds a rickety little steam time car and wears a diving suit to keep out the cold. He goes into the far future with a shopping list of items to easily build the train and eventually, after a very long story, goes back to 1885 and builds the time train.

[@colegensch787]

In back to the future it was said 3 deloreans were used in the film The first was the A-car which what we saw rolling out of the back of doc's truck in back to the future part 1 it was the stand in hero car that was best looking and had all the bells and whistles on it. The second one was the B-car which was used for stunt work and it was the exact same car that was destroyed by the train in the end of back to the future part 3 And the third one was the C-car which was a delorean cut in half for interior shooting to show the inside. Out of all them only A-car survived and was restored in 2015 and is on display at a museum behind a protective glass case where no one can tamper with it.

My take on why we didn't get the technology that would have led to flying automobiles and real hoverboards is that Marty didn't get into the accident with the Rolls-Royce. Like Doc hitting his head in his slip-and-fall, which led him to his revelation to invent his flux capacitor, the driver of the Rolls would have hit his head, which would have led to his own revelation to invent the anti-gravity technology necessary for flying cars and hoverboards.

In the early 80s he meets and befriends high school Marty and then in 85 shows him the car with plans to travel himself even though he must be aware Marty will be the one to go.

You know, when they were filming the hanging scene Micheal J. Fox almost died. They needed to do some close up shots and Fox agreed to it. With his hands in the noose it gave him enough room to breath, however, on the third take he misplaced his hands and the noose tightened on him. It blocked his carotid artery and led to him passing out. He actually swung there unconscious for a few seconds until Zemeckis noticed that Fox was doing too good a job at pretending to be unconscious and had the slack on the rope released saving his life. A year later after the release of Back to the Future III, in 1991, Micheal J. Fox was diganosed with Parkinson's at the age of 29. Also, technically, the whole issue with the DeLorean needing gas and all was null-n-void. Technically, the future Doc had only been in the old west for a week or so, this means that his DeLorean was still sitting in the mine. All Marty and him had to do was dig up his Delorean, siphon the gas and take the fuel injector and put it on Marty's DeLorean, then just speed off into the future. To fix this issue, all they had to do was put in a scene of Marty asking about Doc's DeLorean. Then have Doc saying something like he used the gas up in his attempts to get back. This way it wouldn't be seen as a potential plot hole.

it's so poetic to think that the soulmate of a man of the future such as doc brown, is a woman of the past, ahead of her time. ♥glad you enjoyed the conclusion to this classic series! as far as marty and his arc go, yeah, it was a good one! you prefer dynamic characters with positive arcs rather than static characters with flat arcs. most people do! personally, i love a well written flat arc, so i just think it's very neat and unique of the first movie to give us such a good one with marty's character. but i think that's something better left to a stand-alone film/novel, not a series, so i'm glad they gave him the beginning of an arc in the second film to work through in the the third. the change from static character with a flat arc to dynamic character with a positive arc was very smooth and the payoff was indeed very satisfying! and i think the third movie's ending is a very sweet, if cheesy conclusion to the series. imo great choice to parallel the first movie and to have callbacks to both its prequels. felt as though all the loose ends were wrapped up very neatly. really enjoyed your reaction & commentary as usual! looking forward to the next one :)

If they were intended to be watched back-to-back, they wouldn't have been released a year apart, and they wouldn't have included that AWFUL spoiler-filled preview at the end of the 2nd film, nor would they have included that recap at the beginning of the 3rd film. Remember, there were never supposed to be sequels at all. The first film was written as a one-off. When the studio told Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale that they were going to make sequels with or without them, the Bobs agreed to participate, so long as they could make only 2 films, back-to-back, and have the right to prevent any more BTTF films after that. They got what they wanted, and that's why there are still no more BTTF films. I hope this series is never remade, rebooted, sequeled, prequeled, or especially, bought by Disney. The three films were great, let it stay great, and don't ever touch this property again!

[@jenniferri7735]

the bobs' families will never, ever allow them to be touched.

[@JoeDatorCartoonist]

Nope. BTTF2 release date (US) November 20, 1989. BTTF3 release date (US) May 25, 1990. Six months apart.

[@LenuWolf]

Doc had a spare flux capacitor from the time machine he arrived in 1855 in, the one struck by lightning. The one they used to send Marty back to the future (again), was the DeLorean that Marty took back to 1855, at the time, there were 2 in 1855, Doc just buried his in the mineshaft already

[@wolf9walker]

Little boy behind doc at the end, motioning for someone to come, then pointing to his weewee, because the little actor had to go weewee As for the train, it wasn't exactly 1885. They had two kids, so it had to be at least 15-20yrs after 1885 that he made the train to get to the future.

[@Galiant2010]

The oldest kid was like 7 or 8. So it could be as little as 8 years to build the train. But it could've also been less. Maybe he finished the train when the kid was 4 and they just traveled around before going back to Marty. Probably not that last part, though, as he would probably want to get back to Marty ASAP.

[@artloveranimation]

Someone shared a theory a while back that Marty and Doc's friendship makes a lot of sense if they were co-workers once

[@NevadaTrail]

Hey, I'm super excited to watch this. I love the old West. Cowgirl at heart and love the outback. ❤ I wish you the best, Aussie, and to everyone who watches the cocoa couch😊. Love being marshmallow.

[@drjwww]

It's so easy to forget how wonderful Mary Steenburgen (Clara) is and has been for soooo bloody long. (And, by all accounts, she's one of the most lovely people in the business.)

[@colegensch787]

I always loved the chuffing sound that train makes when I first starts moving that sound was used in many films at least.😊😀

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Oscar! ⏳ Such a great trilogy. I still cry at particularly moments.

[@TheHighSorcerer]

Less than 100 years ago we didn't have the internet, or cell phones, or even car phones. We didn't have in-home TVs less than 100 years ago. Technology has been developing exponentially like crazy. In under 200 years we went from horse and carriage to self-driving cars. It's wild.

[@overdev1993]

I highly recommend the telltale Back to the Future videogame, it takes place after the 3rd movie and is more or less a 4th movie, even the original writer was on board and some of the original cast voiced their characters :)

[@saltymisfit6566]

If you haven't seen it you really need to look up the Back to The Future Cartoon. Add head adventures with Doc, Clara & their two boys going on adventures through time it was a great show while it ran

[@tofersiefken]

I don't doubt that Doc could build an efficient steam locomotive that could reach speeds of 88 miles per hour, but my question is, how did he create the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity the train would need to produce without his "Mr. Fusion" reactor that the "updated Delorean" had for Back to the Future 2?

[@bable6314]

He took the Mr. Fusion from the Delorean in the mine.

[@macadameane]

Did you catch the Eastwood Ravine sign?

[@jbearclowater]

That moment where Marty is nearly hung by Mad Dog and his gang, Michael J Fox actually WAS nearly strangled, the prop malfunctioned and actually nearly died.

[@reneehunt5590]

What I love most about the Back to Future Trilogy is that even thought Time often repeats itself, as seen through call backs in the film, nothing is set in stone and we as people still have the power in the present to make a better future.

[@libertyresearch-iu4fy]

4:40 In 1955 Japan was still recovering from WWII, and they were not well liked in the west. Someone described the three movies as George's story, Marty's story, and Doc's story.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Here's a movie you may like, Somewhere in Time 1980, starring Chrisopher Reeve and Jany Seymour. It's a drama, but good.

[@emilymeyers6069]

9 seconds ago is INSANEEE

[@ITSAHARDNUGLIFE]

I have vague memories seeing this in theaters, specifically when Clara was dangling on the train. Anyway, I have a theory on how Doc got back. All he needed was a new flux capacitor and the hover board

[@TheFoxdaWa]

47:38 they were able to build a time machine by using the flux capacitor from the Delorean Doc stored in the mines in 1885

[@kjrstenschindler3140]

I think a big giveaway in the car racing scene of him choosing not to freak out over someone calling him chicken is because the normal music isn’t there for when someone calls him chicken!

[@shenran9164]

10:28 in 1901 Las Angeles was nothing but a few buildings and in 2001 became a big metropolis it is today. that's 100 yrs

[@wompa70]

I’d rank them 1, 3, 2. 3 reminds me of watching westerns with my dad.

[@christopherb501]

From the end of the trilogy, there are THREE possible sequel lines. The first was the animated series. The second was the highly praised Telltale video game. And the third was IDW's comic series that came out to celebrate the 30th anniversary.

[@trekkiejunk]

No, no, no. That was just fan stuff, as far as i'm concerned, and is not (or shouldn't be) canon. May the Bobs live to be 200 years old, so we never have any reboots, sequels or prequels.

[@ShadeKetchum]

@@trekkiejunk I'd hardly call the comic "fan stuff" considering it was co-written by Bob Gale himself. If you want to ignore it, that's your choice. But don't be disrespectful or dismissive to new material or those that like it just because you're so wrapped up in nostalgia.

[@commanderrelffestudios5464]

Surprised that you reacted to such famous sagas from Star Wars to Httyd to transformers but didn't even react to a single mcu movie as far as I see, would love to see your reactions to iconic marvel movies and moments (especially in infinity war/endgame)

[@holycopy]

The guy who plays Biff is so fuckin goooood. 1. I hate him to death. If you hate the character, then the actor is *chef's kiss*. 2. I didnt even know its the same guy in this one!! He did great at playing a different person altogether. And a person from a different era too. He's just too good.

[@Jammet]

I DIY built a wall clock of the photograph of doc and Marty standing side by side at the old clock. It's here on my wall.

[@exalkalibor924]

When I was a child I always wanted to know what it feels like to be inside the delorean. I made a less than a table size delorean out of boxs and I fit in perfectly I was probably 6 years old. It wasnt bad it wasn't silver painted considering woods and paint was would be very expensive considering I live in a poor country. 😂I hang around inside for hours loving my delorean I had to get rid of it though cuz I had ko space in our house I took out a space from my sleeping dog to create that.

[@snuffydog8153]

Oscar, I just wanted you to know that I love your movie reactions. Thanks for being so genuine.

[@ChefPatrickChase]

in the final scene you can see the boy playing the part of “Verne “ pointing to his bits. this is because he was trying to tell the director they he had to pee

[@klopferator]

Something I've only realized after a long time: Doc came back the very next morning after Marty returned to the present because Marty would have had that accident with the Rolls Royce the next day. There wasn't much time for Doc to get Marty for this mission.

[@jeremygeorgia4943]

For all of his time there, the original DeLorean was still in the mine, waiting for Marty to find it. Perhaps, he was able to duplicate his work, (using the DeLorean as inspiration) and speed some of the technology along, to future-fit the train, as he was rebuilding it from the ravine wreckage. All that was necessary was to leave the DeLorean in usable condition, by the time Marty finds it in the 50's.

[@jbearclowater]

I think part of the reason these movies feel a bit ahead of their time is that these movies have sort of become a template in Hollywood as far as screenwriting is concerned. Pretty much anything that involves time travel in tv or movies nowadays has at least some of the DNA of Back to the Future.

[@peterdawson7198]

Hi Cocoa, loved all your reactions and thank you for watching what is considered The Greatest Trilogy EVER, and welcome to the BTTF family. ---- I've seen a LOT of reactions to these films and you are the only one that's mentioned the similar scenes with Clara & Marty's mum coming to the Doc's place, "It's your mum" & "It's Clara" ---- Well spotted the dent in Doc's hair ----- Not many recognise the sheriff is Strickland ---- I love that you notice A Lot of the pay-offs, and Yes, the actor Thomas F. Wilson who played Biff, young Biff, old Biff, alternative 1985 Biff, Griff, Buford Tannen & the voice of his Grandma is an astonishing actor. Some think Part 1 is best, some Part 2, some Part 3, my preference is 🤔 3-1-2, NO, it's 1-3-2, No it's -- aahhh Great Scott 😵‍💫

[@dianem8544]

Biff, I mean Mad Dog has some of the best lines and the best line deliveries in this. I will probably never have the opportunity to call someone "duded up, egg suckin' gutter trash" and it makes me sad.

[@cinderblockstudios]

This is easily my favorite of the three! There's so many little details that you don't see until you watch it a second time.

[@andreshernandez1180]

Great Scott!!

[@kenouk6183]

I’d like to think that there was enough technology inside the hoverboard that doc was able to create tools from it, and in time(no pun intended) eventually create another time machine I mean it did took him years to go back considering that he had two sons with clara so its not much of a stretch

[@kaikios]

There is small plot hole in where doc and marty cannot get gasoline, because at that very moment, there is another copy of the Delorean in 1885, the one doc arrived in and buried in the cave to be found by 1955 doc and marty. That Delorean might have broken time circuits but it sure has a tank of gas in it

[@JeffRatcliffe-o8b]

Doc would have removed the fuel and discarded it because fuel has a certain timeframe and would have damaged the car after 70 years.
