Reacting to BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III (1990) | Movie Reaction

[@Dej24601]

The Howdy Doody Show was one of the first tv shows for kids; it ran from 1947 to 1960. Howdy was a wooden marionette puppet dressed as a cowboy. There were other marionettes, and animal puppets as well as human characters, including clowns, on the show who supposedly all lived together in a town called “Doodyville.”It featured comedy skits, music and had a live audience of kids who were called “the peanut gallery.”

[@travishimebaugh8381]

And of course it fits the whole "western" theme of the movie Doc of the 1950s is used to westerns of that era, which were a lot more sanitized than the 1890s really were. Just like Marty in the 1980s has a very distorted sense of what the 1950s were like

18:11 @DawnMarie 7-Eleven is a convenience store/gas station. It’s where Marty learned to play the “Wild Gunman” game you saw him play in Part II. If you recognized the band playing during the dance, it was ZZ Top. They played during the filming of the dance, and they contributed the song “Doubleback” for the film. It also appeared on their 1990 album Recycler. 21:13 That was Christopher Lloyd’s first onscreen kiss.

5:38 Little movie trivia for you here, Dawn. Marty points out how silly his costume looks and says "Clint Eastwood never wore this". Doc, confused, asks "Clint who?" And then Marty notices the movie posters next to him and says, "Oh yeah, you don't know him yet." Those movie posters are for "Revenge of the Creature" and "Tarantula" - Clint Eastwood's first movies, both released in 1955.

[@gluuuuue]

I remember my dad commenting on the "Made in Japan" thing. After WW2, Japan flooded the markets with what was then considered low-quality products, particularly in electronics. My grandfather still remembered that era which left a reputation, when those of his generation spoke of "Japanese quality" being trash. He and my uncle owned tvs by RCA when I was a kid. By the early 1980s, the reputation of Japanese electronics companies, especially in the consumer space, had improved dramatically such that the era of VHS and CDs was dominated by Japanese manufacturers. (If you look closely, the red video recording camera Doc owns in the first movie and has Marty use to record him has a prominent JVC logo on it, a Japanese consumer electronics company that has since merged with Kenwood, another Japanese company.)

[@Robalogot]

funny thing is that we're back to japanese trash, it's far from the quality we saw in the 80s-00s

[@vincegamer]

My dad said the same thing. We saw a sign advertising Jap parts back in the 80s and he laughed because he remembered when "Jap parts" was considered an insult

[@autonomouspublishingincorp8241]

Chinese knockoffs never improved though. They just got licensed to make the products (thus stopped being knock-offs) after the U.S. bloated their economic standards far beyond what their own currency could support, forcing an over-reliance on imports when the U.S. could no longer legally produce higher quality merchandise. To this day, if it's manufactured in the U.S.A. it is of lower quality than the imports previous generations considered trash. Largely due to the inability to support the nation's own mandates, and partially due to U.S. outlawing quality manufacturing. The best engineers were forced to retire, or fired for "over-engineering" to ensure low quality products. Ironically these new standards which are less favorable for the environment, of ridiculously lower quality, and even then still reliant on imports are all slapped with a compliance labels claiming they are "efficient". (Which by the specific legal criteria, they are, but by any objective measure, they are not)

[@Sarah_Gravydog316]

On Oct. 21, 2015, a local channel here played all 3 as one movie; they moved the end credits from 1 & 2 to the end, no commercials, & removed the recap scenes from the start of part 2 & 3 so it one 5 & a half hour long movie & it was awesome ☺

[@RobFMDetroit]

I still gotta stick with the 1, 3, 2 order as far as favorites. And it's not like they're far apart (it's a damn near perfect trilogy). 1 is still the best script, and 3 is a great culmination of the entire story. 2 lacks the exciting ending that 1 and 3 had, but it's also stuck being the middle chapter, so I cut it slack, and it makes up for it by being the most creative of the bunch. 🤘🏻

[@michael-beck]

Love your reactions. :) 7-11 are convenience stores in the US (and, presumably, abroad). In the 80s, they would often have a handful of video games in each one. One of the more popular video games of the time were shooting games in which there was a toy gun attached to the game and, depending on the game, you would shoot things like ducks ("Duck Hunt") or games set in the old west. There was a "vintage" game of this kind in Back To The Future 2 inside the Cafe' 80s diner. Marty plays it for a few seconds and shots some characters from the old west, making it a foreshadowing of Back To The Future 3. Lots of really smart movie-making going on there. :)

The only thing wrong with Doc's logic in this one is the fact that he's not taking Clara with him back to the future...that is really the ONLY logical solution since she was supposed to die going over the cliff. Every minute she stays in the past, the higher the possibility there is to contaminate the timeline.

[@Logan_Baron]

In a time travel situation that the future is already considered to exist (as in this universe) as you can actually travel to it, then it would still be contaminating the timeline by bringing her to a future that she would not have originally existed in. The actual only logical solution would be to go back in time again and prevent Doc from saving her in the first place. If she doesn't die at that canyon the future is contaminated. (Though it's actually contaminated from the point that Marty originally travelled back to 55 and then moreso as soon as Doc went back to the old west, and Doc PURPOSELY chose to contaminate the timeline by going back from the future to 1985 to bring Marty forward to change the timeline).

[@ChrisReise]

@@Logan_Baron Thanx, Professor.

[@FreddieHg37]

It is never said that they stayed in the past, or "that" past, they even said they've been to the future, in my mind the Doc maried Clara and raised their kids in a further future timeline, probably 200 years into the future, not from Marty's time (1985) but theirs (maybe the 2100s or 2200s) or even further in the future when science, society and politics are even more evolved and the Doc felt comfortable as to mot contaminate past timelines and would be far more accepted and happy with a brilliant mind like his.

[@maybachyard]

Shouldn't there be two time machines in 1885? The one the Doc used to get to 1885 that he leaves for Marty to find in 1955, and the one that Marty used.

[@UpLateGeek]

This is why you need to make watching these awesome movies with your kids a regular thing, because they'll pick up more and more about them as they get older and can understand more of the subtle things that happen in the movies. Like when they're bored at home during the school break, just put a movie on for them to watch and eventually they'll love them as much as you do. That's what my parents did when I was young, and there's so many movies from my childhood that I still love watching today, even after seeing them more than 10 times.

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Marie like always. this trilogy is best love every single movie, there are some fun facts about this one. During the scene where Mad Dog Tannen and his cronies are attempting to hang Marty after their disagreement in the saloon, Michael J Fox accidentally got hanged for real for a short time, making him pass out for a few moments. The band ZZ Top were hanging around on the set of the film, and ended up portraying the band at the town party. There were some technical issues whilst filming and, whilst repairs were taking place to get them fixed, ZZ Top took requests from the cast and crew and gave a small concert. Thomas F Wilson, who plays Mad Dog Tannen, did all of his own horse riding and horse stunts during the film. Not only that, but he also lassoed Marty. When Marty arrives back in 1985, the Delorean is quickly destroyed by a freight train. When it came to arranging the scene to be filmed, the producers asked the driver of the freight train whether hitting the car would derail the train, as they didn’t want to cause too much carnage. The driver shrugged it off, saying, ‘I’ve been waiting my whole life to do this. And the set of the Old West Hill Valley was used 4 years earlier for Pale Rider - a western starring none other than Clint Eastwood, which hit cinemas in 1985. Keep up the good work.

[@raybernal6829]

The producers asked Clint Eastwood for permission to use his name and he was happy and thrilled to say yes.

Cover crops are “green manures” when a gardener turns them into the soil to provide organic matter and nutrients. Green manures include legumes such as vetch, clover, beans and peas; grasses such as annual ryegrass, oats, rapeseed, winter wheat and winter rye; and buckwheat. Green manures are fast-growing plants sown to cover bare soil. Often used in the vegetable garden, their foliage smothers weeds and their roots prevent soil erosion. When dug into the ground while still green, they return valuable nutrients to the soil and improve soil structure. In addition to numerous commercial and private outlets for getting manure, there is also a broad choice of types of manure. Manure from farm animals such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, llamas, and chickens is commonly used in vegetable gardens.

Howdy Doody was a marionette and the star of his own kids show. In the 50s things made in Japan were considered inferior merchandise.

Part 2 was 100% my favorite. Most people choose 1 or 3 but as a kid watching Part 2 when it was released, the scenes in the future didn't seem silly. It was all very very plausible in my mind. The Hoverboard instantly joined the "coolest shit in the world" hall of fame alongside lightsabers and proton packs.

[@SimonMoon5]

I was in college at the time, so some of the future scenes seemed less credible to me. I knew that there was no way that there would be weather control because weather is too much of a chaotic dynamical system to be regulated. And anti-gravity seemed pretty implausible to be discovered and regulated to a kid's toy in just 30 years, but I was willing to give that a pass because it's a movie. And now, looking back, I assume that the reason all those things weren't invented by 2015 means that the Doc and Marty changed the future, mainly by Doc not being around anymore (since he's with his time traveling 1885 family now). So, presumably Doc Brown either invented those things or did the research necessary for others to build on so that they could invent them.

Pat Butram is the guy in the saloon with the funny voice. And he was well known to movie goers in 1985 for his role as the obnxious salesman, Mr Haney, in the surreal 60s TV farm comedy, GREEN ACRES. Strother Martin is the guy in THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALLANCE with the voice that sounds like Pat Butram's. He played one of the outlaw Liberty Vallance's two henchmen. The other henchman was played by Lee Van Cleef who also played the "bad" character in the classic Clint Eastwood western THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. So it goes full circle with Marty pretending in this movie to be Clint Eastwood in that movie.

[@stargazer1682]

The timeline stuff isn't that difficult to follow. For starters, Marty wasn't originally in the picture with the clock because - he wasn't originally there... His going back was changing history. Let's work backwards from most recent. 2015 - There is 1 Doc (presumably) and 2 Martys (one who's 17 from 1985, one who's 47 from 2015). There's also two Jennifers In 1985 There's only one Doc, one Marty - save for about 10 minutes at the end of Part I when Marty arrived in 1985 prior to his original departure to 1985 1955 - There are only ever 2 Biffs (one who's 17-ish from 1955, the other who's 77 from 2015). There are 2 Martys (one a day or two older than the other). Up to the point of the almanac being destroyed, there were only 2 Docs (One who's somewhere in his 40s from 1955, another who's at least in his 70s, possibly older, on account of the rejuvenation clinic he went to that added 30-40 years to his life. We don't know how long he was gone after leaving Marty in 1955). Immediately after the DeLorean was struck by lightning there were technical 3 Docs in 1955, the third being the remains buried in the old Boot Hill cemetery. Likewise there are between 2-3 DeLoreans in 1955 - one from Part I that uses plutonium to achieve the nuclear reaction to generate 1.21 gigawatts. One that uses Mr. Fusion to power the flux capacitor and can fly. And after being struck by lightning, one that's been carefully preserved in the cave near the cemetery for 70 years. 1885 - Prior to Marty going back, there's only 1 Doc, 1 DeLorean. When Marty goes back, there's only 1 Doc, 1 Marty and 2 DeLoreans, because Doc has stored the one he arrived in in the cave already, which becomes the one Marty arrives in and it's the latter that Marty used to go back to 1885. For a brief moment (or 70 years, depending on your perspective) there was a third Marty in 1955, which were his remains interred as Clint Eastwood - but that didn't last.

[@ThePrinceHasArrived]

I agree! It's not that hard to follow. I think it has to do with the viewpoint the viewer has when watching a time travel film. Different movies treat it in a variety of ways. Therefore I think she has a unique perspective on what's happening that isn't necessarily relevant to the movie itself because she's trying harder to figure it out in her head, rather than just listening to how Doc explains it.

This was Christopher Lloyd’s first on screen kiss.

[@jamielandis4308]

Mary Steenbergen (Clara) has always been a crush of mine. Even today she is still lovely. You should check out “Time After Time,” a time travel movie which she also stars in. After the end of WWII until the late 60’s most products from Japan were of cheap or poor quality. That was one of the reasons that the Japanese cars and electronics took over in the 70’s-80’s. The first movie is best overall but my favorite is the third because I love Mary Steenbergen, especially in period garb.

20:33 That Sheriff is the ancestor of the school principal in the previous movies. And the band is famous rock band named ZZ Top.

[@DC_Prox]

While I'm sure there are some fun and funny "mistakes", what's remarkable is how much effort and care they put into avoiding that. For example, in the scene where Mad Dog ends up with the contents of a spittoon dumped on him, it was originally written that Marty accidentally kicked some horse poop from his shoe and it hit Tannen, and that's what got him angry, but a history consultant told them that Tannen would have been an experienced farm hand, and getting poop on his hands now and then was just something that happened.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

15:12 "What do you mean you're gonna be seeing _lots_ of her?" This is a time when Hill Valley was a small _town,_ Marty. Everybody knew _everybody._

[@ianrhodes6928]

I love that at some point in part 2, there are 4 versions of the De Lorean in 1955 at the same time. The one from the first film, the one they go back in during part two, the one Old Biff flew back and the one buried in the cave.

[@carlhartwell7978]

I've heard that before and likewise found it interesting, but thinking about it again now I'm not sure it's the case. Why would the buried car be there before Doc gets accidentally sent back to 1885? If after the events, doc were to go back in the locomotive... then there would be 4 De Loreans. But not during the course of the film, I contend.

[@MrSheckstr]

There cannot be…. For the simple fact that in BTTF 3 1885 Doc is unaware of what 1955 Doc learns from the letter 1885 Doc sends to marty in 1955

[@Gengrel]

@@carlhartwell7978 At the end of the third movie, after Marty returned home he would remember 4 cars during that time. Doc and Marty were there with #3 watching Biff(s) with #2 and Marty #1 was the last to leave the time. The one in the cave #4 would have always been there because the accident sending Doc back would always have happened. When Marty got the message at the end of the 2nd movie it established the 4th car had been there all along.

[@MrSheckstr]

@@carlhartwell7978 ever see the movie frequency? In it changes in the timeline are not already there but become when events cause them to be… so the delorean in the cave doesnt exist until the moment that the delorean in the air disappears

[@anonygent]

So why didn't we see two DeLoreans in the cave, the first one Doc parked and the second one Marty parked?

[@MWSin1]

If I'm figuring it correctly, Marty experienced roughly 19 days during the course of the movies, from the amplifier accident to seeing Doc depart on the Time Train. Nine days in the first film, two days in the second, and eight days in the third. Interestingly, for a while there were four "copies" of the time machine coexisting on November 12, 1955 (more accurately, the same time machine at different points in its own subjective timeline): One sitting in Doc's lab. One in some unknown location wherever Biff hid it. One hidden behind the Lyon Estates billboard. One hidden in the old mine.

The brass container for spitting tobacco in, is called a spittoon. The man in the saloon with the familiar voice is Pat Buttram. He played Mr. Haney, on the 60's sitcom, "Green Acres." And in Disney's animated film, "Robin Hood." He was the voice of the Sheriff of Nottingham, which was a wolf. The musicians playing at the town celebration was the band, ZZ Top. 7-11 is a chain of convenience stores. In the corner of the stores there is one or two video arcade games for customers to play. So Marty spent a lot of time at 7-11 playing games to be such a good shot. Frisbee pies was an actual company. A couple of college guys started tossing the empty pie pans around and made a game of it. It became popular and Wham-O started making plastic throwing discs that they named, Frisbee. One year to celebrate the New Year. I decided to do a Spielberg trilogy double feature. I grabbed my DVDs and on December 31st I watched the Jurassic Park trilogy (the past). And on January 1st I watched the Back To The Future trilogy (the future). I fell instantly in love when I saw you. ✌️❤️🌹

7-Eleven is a chain of convenience stores that were especially wide-spread in the US during the 1980s. 7-Elevens often had a few arcade machines present, including arcade shooter games, so when Marty says he learned to shoot at 7-Eleven, he's talking about playing arcade light-gun games.

[@sixstanger00]

"7-Eleven" is a chain of convenient stores. In the 80s, they had arcade games in them. Marty shows off his shooting skills in Part 2 while at Cafe 80s -- he finds the "Wild Gunman" arcade game and tries to impress the two kids. Marty learned to shoot by playing Wild Gunman at 7-Eleven in 1985.

There's been talk of a Back To The Future reboot for years but fortunately, it hasn't happened.

I felt that way about one Woman, one time. Normally, I don't approach a Woman to talk to her, but when I saw this particular one, as soon as I saw her I said to myself, "Oh my God, who is that? I have to talk to this Woman." And the first thing I ever said to her was, "If there is anything that I can do for you, don't ask me." There was silence, as she said no words, but had a negative expression on her face. I then said, "Tell me", and her expression changed. I was making progress with her, but I took things too slow, and suddenly, after what seemed like only a couple of weeks, she was gone. I have not seen or heard from her since Friday, March 5, 2021.

I see someone else commented on the band at the festival being the country-rock band ZZ Top (They wrote the theme song for part 3: "Double-Back") The three old-timers in the bar were played by Western veterans Dub Taylor, Harry Carey, Jr., and Pat Buttram. Pat Buttram was the voice you thought you recognized. He's been in (or voiced over) so many old west rolls EVERYONE has heard his voice somewhere. My favorite fact: The youngest child of Doc Brown (little Vern) DESPERATELY had to go to the bathroom during filming, and kept pointing to his pee-pee while standing on the train behind Doc, hoping the director would see him. (look for it)

7-11 is the most numerous convenience store in America for 40 - 50 years and they used to feature video game consoles. Marty learned to shoot on a computer game at the local 7-11.

Proof that Doc and Marty restored the space time continuum is the Griff Clara coal mine in Nuneaton England closed in 1955. In an alternate timeline, Griff Tannen in Part 2 copied his Gramps and stole the DeLorean. He went back to 1885 and kidnapped Clara before she could meet Doc. Griff took her to industrial England, muscled in on the Griff Collieries and in 1895 Griff and Clara opened the Griff Clara coal mine. Since Doc and Marty restored all the timelines in Parts 1, 2 and 3, Griff was unable to succeed and the Griff Clara mine closed for good in 1955. Sign of a great romantic movie is it includes a train (and a dog).

11:30 The rope loop that McFly is wearing was actually real. It just shouldn't have dragged on to the end. And Fox was supposed to be only half in the frame, his feet had to stand on the stacked boxes. But during the filming, the take was somewhere on the sixth, for more realism, the boxes were decided to be removed, and Fox had to protect his neck solely at the expense of hands slipped under the rope. but it was during the filming of this take that the rope broke from the fastening and tightened the actor's throat for real. The scariest thing about it was that no one understood what really happened - everyone was sure that the talented actor was playing his role very well. They came to their senses only when Fox lost consciousness and Christopher Lloyd cut the rope.
