Back to the Future 3 STRESSED ME OUT (First time watching & Reaction)

[@davidedwards1705]

As of this movie there are FOUR Time Machines in 1955. The first DeLorean to be present in Hill Valley on November 12, 1955 had actually been there for over 70 years, hidden by Doc Brown in the Delgado Mine after his arrival in 1885. Another DeLorean, the one that transports Marty McFly back to 1955 in the first Back to the Future, arrives in Hill Valley on November 5. A third DeLorean time machine shows up in Hill Valley on November 12, after 2015 Biff Tannen uses it to travel back and give his younger self the sports almanac, which leads to the dystopian alternate 1985 timeline. This leads Marty and Doc to travel back to November 12 and take the almanac back from young Biff, creating the overlapping period where four different DeLoreans are all present in Hill Valley on November 12, 1955, beginning at 1:40 pm local time.

[@MrXMysteriousX]

Technically, the answer should be 0 as the plot of the 2nd movie is impossible, based on it's own established rules. A shame because I love the movie lol. Old Biff stole the machine and went back, changing the future of his Younger self right? This would lead to a unresolved paradox though. 1. The Book shouldn't exist for 1955 Biff- this is because the moment the book reached Young Biff, the alternative timeline was born and Old Biff would/should no longer exist, meaning he couldn't hand himself the book because old Biff would either cease existing or become an Alt Old Biff in a different situation meaning he never see's the book. Also, In Alt 1985, we also learn Doc never creates the time machine because he was declared insane and locked away (likely by Biffs influence) meaning most importantly there are *no time machines* but also it means by implication, Doc and Marty never go to any version of 2015, not even an alternative version , which then of course means Marty never buys the book, which also means Old Biff never retreives the book (he would be totally different anyway) and couldn't even go back to hand it to himself, as there is no time machine. Paradox issue 2. Old Biff in the movie somehow travels back to original 2015 after making the change and it's still the one he's from, which should be impossible, based on what Doc explains in the movie about timelines. Even if you count the pained expressions of Old Biff as he gets out the car as potentially starting to fade from existence, the fact is the future he should have returned to would be an alternate 2015, with Rich Old Biff in it, not the one he was originally from. The time machine should have ceased existing the moment he re-entered 2015 or he and the car cease existing in 1955 when he gives the book. Further to this, like with Jennifers moves from different 1985s, 2015 Doc and Marty (who were still looking for Martys house and Jennifer) should have changed to Alt 2015 along with everything else and also been changed themselves by the effects of the change of the alternative timeline started by Old Biff, but that change never happens, even though it should. Technically if they did change over I would imagine Alt 2015 means Doc is dead (never time travels so never gets de-aging surgery) and who knows what the effect of having Biff as your dad would do to his alt 2015 older Marty life. Basically it's a paradox mess but essentially the TLDR is the moment the book left Old Biffs hands to his younger self he caused a critical unresolved paradox.

[@kd5you1]

What doesn't make sense is that since there were two Deloreans in 1885, they could have repaired the leak and used the fuel from the Delorean Doc Brown hid in the cave. Even after months of sitting there, the fuel still should have been usable.

[@davidedwards1705]

Paradox #2 It was a deleted scene, old Biff vanished he did not go back to 2015. Throughout all 1955 never changed.

[@davidedwards1705]

That is true unless the other Delorean was damaged when it was struck by lighting when it sent Doc back to 1885.

[@raimat66]

@@MrXMysteriousX I don’t agree with you. (Time traveling is impossible, but let’s forget that.) Even if alternative timelines are born, the people involved in time traveling is not necessary affected. Remember that Marty didn’t know about how his family had changed after the first trip to 1955. Somehow they all remain the same for now. We can se this several times. Doc don’t remember that he gave Marty those cowboy clothes because it happened Doc after old Doc’s disappearance to 1855. Somehow new doings tend to be delayed in space time continuum. And the same thing can be multiplied (the time machine four or five times at the same time). So the almanack can be brought from the first 2015 timeline back to Biff in 1955 without disappearing in that moment. You can pick things from one timeline and stil produce a second one in a new timeline. Old Biff travelled back to 2015. That’s hypothetically possible. There are never two timelines parallel to each other at the same time. So he must arrive somewhere in present 2015 from Marty’s and Doc’s perspective. Perhaps everything around them changed without them noticing it. Perhaps the two alternative 2015 collided and so we have an explanation for Old Biff’s vanishing. He was stuck in between to timelines somehow. So when you speak about him returning to “an alternate 2015”, you are talking about “another place”. But there is no other place. Time and space are the same. Same old earth, same old place in time. They never mentions another earth, etc. I perceives it as you mixes together people in one event with another. Doc gets de-aging surgery in a timeline where it exists. You can’t take that experience away from him even if it couldn’t have happened in the alternative timeline which they experienced later on in their altogether experiencing of all timelines in a row as it is shown to us. Yes, when he puts the book in the hands of his younger self, he causes changes. But Doc and Marty never checks out what that means to the “new” 2015, only the “new” 1985, and all their memories and stuff (hover board, etc) can they keep. When and how do things change? I believe that Marty’s family is poor and depressed even when he comes back to 1985 for the first time. Then he sees himself being chased by terrorists. Even that chased Marty remembers the poor and depressed family. But! In exactly the moment when returning Marty sees himself disappearing in front of the terrorist car, THAT’S(!) when everything around him changes. That’s the key event which changes everything for him. So he couldn’t remember any changes in his family until he woke up the next morning and experienced it - for the first time. But ofcourse: then he would have seen the sign first as "Twin Pines Mall" and later on as "Lone Pine Mall". Perhaps that's the only real paradox ...? ;-)

14:55 Prior to Marty going back to 1885 Emmet would have still been asked by the Sherriff to pick her up from the train station. With no Marty to change the timeline Emmet picks her up from the train station safe and sound altering History. In the Original UNALTERED 1885 There was no one to pick her up from the station so she rented a wagon and went over the edge of Clayton Ravine.

[@hellowhat890]

11:37 and you can even see at the moment before it cuts to Doc and Marty visiting the bridge... if you look carefully, there's Clara waiting for Emmett in the background. But she obviously decided to rent the wagon due to his absence.

GREAT SCOTT!! I've always had the same thought Alice had, but your explanation now does make it all make sense. I love these movies.

[@curtthegamer934]

See, this kind of thing shows that you can think you made something obvious in a story you write only for it not to actually be clear enough to the audience. My first few times watching it I didn't actually think there was a plot hole, but I still misunderstood what happened because I assumed that Doc Brown had been at the ravine to rescue Clara even without Marty's help. It wasn't until repeat viewings that I figured out that he had picked her up at the station and the snake had never spooked the horses in that timeline.

The ending is just a great way to finish the trilogy. It's so positive and happy. I don't think you can ever remake this movie. It was so unique for its time.

[@Hanneth]

Universal has been pleading with Zemeckis to make a reboot/continuation/spin off for a long time now. Zemeckis told the Telegraph that his and Gale’s original contracts with Universal and Steven Spielberg‘s production company Amblin Entertainment outlined how the two would have final say on any future Back to the Future or related films for as long as both were alive. Zemeckis, said “Oh God, no” at the possibility of a remake or a Jurassic World-type continuation, adding that it “can’t happen until both Bob [Gale] and I are dead.” Gale was co-writer on all three films.

The way Marty escapes dying in his duel was actually foreshadowed in the previous film. There's a bit where we see "Donald Trump Biff" watching a scene from a Clint Eastwood film (A Fistful of Dollars, I think) where the main character pulls that exact same trick. Just one of the benefits of shooting both sequels at the same time

[@TheRawrnstuff]

14:44 "If she died going into the river then how did she dig the grave for him?" That's easy to explain. Originally she died because no-one was there to pick her up at the station. She borrowed a carriage, but some snakes spooked the horses, and the carriage fell to the ravine. When Emmett Brown went back in time, he was there to pick her up at the station - so no carriage, no snakes, no dead teacher. We saw Emmett and the mayor making the plans for Emmett to pick her up. Emmett and Clara fall in love. When Marty arrived, Emmett stood Clara up by visiting the train engineer asking about how fast the train can go. You can see Clara in the background. Clara was back to getting the carriage, snakes spooked the horses, the whole shebang again. But this time Emmett saved Clara. They fall in love.

You're watching a guy getting hanged for real. Luckily, they caught him in time.

[@sixstanger00]

The 7-Eleven line during the shooting range scene is a reference to the arcade game "Wild Gun" that Marty plays in Cafe 80s in Part 2. Back in the 80s, 7-Elevens would have arcade games in them, so Marty became a sharp shooter playing Wild Gun.

[@levenkay4468]

I think that Alyska was confused by what "seven eleven" could be in the first place. It's a chain of convenience stores in the US. The name derived from the stores' hours of operation (07:00 to 23:00).

[@Caseytify]

There used to be a chain of stores in the Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky tristate called King Kwik. They even had their own beer, KK (called "double K"). It was terrible. Anyway, I mention this because one local store featured an Asteroids arcade machine that my best friend and I practically _owned_ back in the late 80s.

[@whitecompany18]

She's a bit young to remember but we did have 7eleven in England in the 80s early 90s

[@thassilokilian905]

Also think about it: Doc got the hover board in 1885 when Marty goes back to his time. My guess is that someday Doc got curious about how the board works and sees that he has enough parts to built another time machine.

[@3DJapan]

It's amazing how much connection these movies have to each other. Like the saloon / cafe with Tannen coming in saying "you're not ___ McFly". Or the dance / festival. Or the garage with a love interest coming to the door.

[@glennwisniewski9536]

Not Einstein - he's still in 1985. It's Copernicus the dog in 1955. The real Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 - 1543) was the father of modern astronomy. And, that very strange show on TV was the classic children's TV series Howdy Doody which ran from 1947 to 1960. It was hosted by Buffalo Bob Smith (his nickname a take on the famous Buffalo Bill Cody) with his marionette pal Howdy Doody (the name a variation of "how do you do?"). The show's Western frontier themes anticipate what is coming next for Marty.

You have to give the actor who played Biff props though. Like Michael J. Fox the Biff actor also played so many different characters and ages. He played the Mad Dog character so well that to this day people don't realize it's the same actor.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

15:09 "7-Eleven? Is there, like, a shooting game there or something?" 7-Eleven is a convenience store(or "mini mart") in the U.S. (like at gas stations). You might remember that, when Marty went to the future in the previous movie, he recognized and played that "old-school" arcade game at the "retro" diner (and totally failed to impress the kids who thought the tech was too obsolete to be interesting).

It's also a double gag, because it was quite common for ranches back then to have names like "7-11", so the people in the old west would just think Marty (er, Clint) was referring to how he learned to shoot on the ranch he grew up on. I haven't seen a single reactor to this movie understand the 7-Eleven joke, even though (as you mentioned) the 2nd movie clearly shows Marty playing the "Wild Gunman" arcade game in the Cafe '80s... but I suppose only those who lived in the '80s would know that these arcade games were often located in 7-Eleven stores. This is a good example of a gag tailored for the audience at the time when the movie was released; same as the holographic "Jaws 10" gag in the 2nd film. Heck, there may have even been a "Wild Gunman" video game in the lobby of the movie theater!

So cute A! CLARA made at least one more time travel movie. "Time after time" she meets HG Wells and Jack the ripper. The metal plate is a tribute to Clint Eastwood movie "fist full of Dollars ". Was a movie Biff was watching in the hot tub in #2. Glad you got your happy ending!

The actors who play doc and Clara are in a western with Jack Nicholson and Danny Devito called Goin' South (1978)

Great video, Alyska! It's interesting to see how these movies are viewed today by someone like yourself, with people born after the 80s knowing in advance that it's a three-part odyssey and a beloved part of the popular culture and having the ability to sit down and watch all three back to back to back. As someone who saw all three in the theater when they came out and was all in on the mania back in the day, I'd like to talk about my experience, and the experience of the original fans. It's important to note that in terms of marketing, production and release times, these movies were quite different than, say, the original Star Wars trilogy or The Lord of the Rings films. Star Wars came out once every three years, building into a pop culture juggernaut. The Lord of the Rings, already a beloved book series, was filmed as one and came out one film a year for three years and marketed as a blockbuster from the get-go. The Back to the Future trilogy, however, was a whole different thing and almost an accident. The first film came out the summer of 1985 and wasn't anticipated as a big movie. It had a modest budget ($19 million, compared to 1984's Ghostbusters' $25 million or 1983's Return of the Jedi's $32 million) and featured a couple of television stars. (Yes, Christopher Lloyd had been in films before, including 1984's Star Trek III, but he was more recognizable as Jim from Taxi.) Director Bob Zemeckis and composer Alan Silvestri had a hit the previous summer with Romancing the Stone, but that was a smallscale, personal film with big stars (Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito) and wasn't a big happening in terms of story or music. So along comes Back to the Future, which was basically a comedy, and the last thing most of us expected was to be swept away with its big feel and John Williams-like score - and yet that's exactly what happened. Zemeckis caught lightning in a bottle (pardon the pun) with the perfect script, the perfect actors, and the perfect timing. It was loved by the people who were around in the 1950s, like my parents, because suddenly they were back there. It was loved by kids of the 1980s (like myself) because it was fun to imagine ourselves back in the time of our parents' youth (which we were always hearing about) while inventing skateboarding and rock 'n roll to show the kids from the past - especially the bullies - what fun really was! It became THE summer blockbuster of 1985, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd became big-time movie stars before our eyes, and this was all just as video cassettes were becoming affordable and Cable television (deregulated in 1984) was exploding, so in the following years, we were able to watch and rewatch it many times. (Keep in mind, this was a period where our viewing choices were limited, with no DVRs, Blu-ray collections, or streaming services, and far less platforms for content creation. Thus a beloved video cassette would be watched over and over again.) By the late 1980s, we had all gone on to assume Back to the Future was a standalone film (as originally intended) and would remain a beloved icon by itself. Then it was announced there would be not just one, but two sequels, and they would be filmed and released back to back. Part II would come out in late 1989, and Part III would come out in early 1990. That meant several things that are important to understand. First, whereas Part 1 was written and filmed as one thing (with all the sets destroyed afterward), Part 2 and Part 3 were written and filmed together, sharing some of the same sets, featuring the same actors (with a couple of new actors taking over parts from people who wouldn't return after Part 1) - and, most importantly, telling one big-picture story, more or less - with exposition in Part 2 that wouldn't be paid off until Part 3. (In other words, Part 1 is like the original Star Wars film in terms of being its own thing from a production and story standpoint, with all the sets struck down after filming, whereas Parts 2 and 3 follow The Lord of the Rings model, filmed as one thing, with even one of the scenes in Back to the Future Part 3 filmed during the production of Part 2.) So anyway, back to the fans' standpoint here: when we went to see Back to the Future Part 2, it was the complete opposite of going to see Part 1. This time we were going to see a blockbuster (with a $40 million budget) with big-time movie stars, and stepping into an area of turf which was a beloved part of pop culture, with everyone knowing all the jokes from the first film (most notably the manure) by heart. Then.... JUST a short time later... we went to see Part 3, and that was a unique experience in a way because Part 3 largely plays off of Part 2, but keep in mind, we didn't know Part 2 that well! We had just seen it, but we hadn't seen it over and over like Part 1. (In fact, there were some people in the theater who had seen Part 1 but hadn't seen Part 2.) So in a way, it wasn't until the films came out on video as a threepack that we were able to watch them over and over and appreciate the grand tapestry. And THAT's my story about what it was like being an original fan - though I also have to add I was one of the first on the Universal Back to the Future ride in Florida, and it was awesome! And I loved the BTTF cartoon. But I think I'll stop there. Thanks for indulging me!

That TV show you found so strange was a popular Childrens show in the 50's. Buffalo Bob and his puppet Howdy Doody. It was a western theme childrens show because westerns were very popular in the 50's

7-Eleven is a chain of convenience stores in the US with stores in many other countries including the UK back in the 1980s and 90s. Many of them used to have arcade games, including shooting games that would have been used by Marty.

[@petejemmott7657]

Fun fact: Christopher Lloyd's first on screen kiss

[@Laochri]

7-Eleven is a convenient store, that used to have a couple arcade games. The mess in the frisbee plate was a cherry pie.

[@Warlocke000]

Frisbee was a pie company so, never fear, the only innards on that plate were the remains of a fruit pie.

[@CaddyJim]

You cut off one of the lessons of the movie where Jennifer asked about her future and it's your future hasn't been written yet nobody has make it what you will

[@danielmorency2242]

I just had a stroke of genius. After Doc is hurled back to 1855 when he's struck by lightning, he stashes the Dolorean in the mineshaft for Marty (and himself) to find 70 years later in 1955. Marty goes back in time to get Doc, but ruptures the gas tank... Putting him and Doc through an ordeal as there's no gas in 1855. Well actually, there is. In the gas tank of the Dolorean in the mineshaft that Doc JUST put there. They could have, in theory, just taken some gas there to get back to 1985... Just enough for the return trip. No one would have noticed.

[@Moricant]

Excellent fourth-dimensional thinking, though the likelihood is that Doc would have drained the tank when he put the DeLorean in storage as it was going to be left there for 70 years.

[@NDav8tr]

Why not leave the Delorean alone and just write “bring extra gas” under Docs initials in the mine. This would cause a small paradox in which Marty would arrive at a slightly later point in time, probably avoiding all of the original issues.

[@Sarcastro_78]

Frisbee actually did start up making pie tins.

[@GilbertClark]

Great reactions to this trilogy Alyska. If you want another western to watch, Blazing Saddles is a classic (just don't take it seriously). The guy who gave Marty the pistol is also in that movie. BTW: the band playing at the party is the legendary ZZ Top.

[@fanman1]

Clint Eastwood was relatively unknown in 1955 but when Marty comes out in the pink cowboy outfit at the Drive In Movies, the two posters to his left are the first two films in which Clint Eastwood acted (in small roles).

[@Daehawk]

The only trilogy other than the original Star Wars that the third movie is just as good as the first.

[@christopherferrarelli2262]

15:15 @Alyska, because you were curious, 7-Eleven is a convenience store known for selling hot foods, hot coffee, assorted snacks, drinks, and the ever famous Slurpee and Big Gulp.

just two things Mad-Dog killed the Marshall that is why he has only one part in the movie and we did have 7-11s here but I think you are too young to remember that. There used to be one opposite the cinema in my hometown but they were brought out.

[@vodkavecz]

And we're finished. BttF trilogy is one of the best movie trilogy of all time, and I hope they'll never touch it. No sequel or reboot ever. It's just perfect this way. And a movie suggestsion, since you haven't seen a Western before: A Fistful of Dollars You'd also get why Marty chose the name Clint Eastwood here, and also another reference to that movie.

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

Yay! I was waiting for you to get to this one!

[@mdpetty53]

Back in the day I worked for Universal Studios...where I got to to know Tom Wilson who plays Biff in all the BTTF films. Absolutely the nicest guy in the world. Always kind to his fans, great sense of humor...the absolute opposite of his character.

[@benmiller3252]

There's a lot of Doctor Who elements in this trilogy

[@Certifiable]

If you hunger for more & stream games, Telltale Games made BTTF The Game, which has a plot based in 1986 & it has the blessing & acting of Lloyd, Gale & Fox, among more!

[@robbyrob0723]

You would like the actor who plays Biff. He's a super nice guy!!!
