    I think what most people miss on "Back to the Future Part III" is that despite the huge western homage and setting of the film, and how it just settles down into a slow pace for 1885, the film is basically a reflective and sentimental journey for the characters.
    It doesn't have the hype and suspense of "Back to the Future Part I", nor the outrageous - yet brilliant - shocks, double-whammies, and mind-boggling plot twists of "Back to the Future Part II". Instead, "Back to the Future Part III" delivers a long, western-themed farewell for Marty, Doc, and the rest of the characters.
    It is indeed the simplest and least dramatic of the three - there's no denying that. But if looked upon with the right attitude, one can really grow to love it. The whole hype and interest of Marty and Doc's time-traveling has waned, and that wistful remark where Doc says at the Town Festival how it's impressive that they're there to witness the clock dedication really hits home to me as the viewer, and Doc's weary, tired declaration that once they return to 1985 they'll destroy this infernal machine: "Traveling through time has become much too painful.". Everything in the film is very reflective... but it actually works in this case.
    In one way or another, this happens to make "Back to the Future Part III" one of the most calm, restful movies/film finales a series could ever ask for. Perfect to watch before falling asleep... as I, myself, have done that many times! LOL

      The only problem with that is, if Doc Brown had remained stuck in the past... I think it would have been harder for Gale and Zemeckis to convince Doc's fans to accept "Back to the Future - Part III" as being the end. I know that time-traveling train is a tricky thing to explain, but in the long run, by letting viewers at least know that Doc can come and go as he pleases, it took care of Doc's fans feeling like the story had to go on.

      I simply love all movies as one. you cant really take them apart and only love one specific film. (even if there was no sequel planed back in 1985). Part 3 ist a really good conclusion. I love the dialogues and acting.

      @robertwiegman1 5 років тому +4

      I agree...it's a very satisfying wrap up...especially all the references to part 2 (e.g., the flying Dolorean); finally getting to see the restored 1985 and Jennifer again, plus the whole "You're Fired"/Marty's drag race being resolved. There's more, like the For a Few Dollars gimmick with the bullet proof vest that was foreshadowed in part 2 when Biff was in the hot tub watching tv. And Doc coming back to get Einstein is so cool :)

    1955 Doc's freakout when he realizes Marty is still in that time is one of the best moments of the trilogy.

  • @MaximumMadnessStixon
    @MaximumMadnessStixon 5 років тому +41

    When I was a kid, *Back to the Future Part III* was my favorite of the trilogy. I wasn't really a western fan, but I enjoyed its humor, sense of adventure and Doc's romantic story-arc... it was very sweet and appealing. Now, as an adult, I can easily recognize that the original is objectively the best film of the trilogy. But I still have the softest spot for this one. I think it's the most overtly entertaining and good-natured film of the trilogy. It's just a fun movie all around.
    For me, the trilogy would go...
    1- *Back to the Future* ... A perfect 10 out of 10
    2- *Back to the Future Part III* ... A near-perfect 9 out of 10
    3- *Back to the Future Part II* ... A solid 7 out of 10

    One of my favorite moments in the third film, is Buford's reaction to the meaning of "forfeit"...

      ​@@catguy4996 I agree; it's more sentimental (in a good way) and returns to the simplicity of staying mostly in one year of history. Still, the best goosebumps scene for me is in part 2, after Marty escapes Biff and Delorean gets struck by lightning. Marty says "there's only one man that can help me," and we return to the climax of Part 1 (and a twist of Marty running in the background).

Not only the bond of friendship between Marty and Doc, but the romance between Doc and Clara. Yes indeed, the power of love.

      Same here.
      I went from "Not enough time traveling, uninteresting time period for time traveling, boring old biddy" to "Doc needs a babe badly that's a compromise between Marty's age and his own and Clara is a great addition to the team; A 2045 time travel would have been a disaster when 2015 already missed obvious marks several times with flying cars, phone booths, heavy Japanese cultural influence except for anime, and bright color fashion; The only other time period Marty could have visited other than 1885 would be visiting a teen Doc in the 1930s, with yet another alternative 1985 universe, something the BTTF computer game has did incredibly well, but it would take two more movies, so this one is a nice early wrap-up."

    This is a great review. I feel part 3 doesn't get as much love as it deserves. All three films are classics in my eyes, but 3 definitely tops 2 for having a grounded setting and more cohearent narrative.
    I adore the train scenes because so rarely do we see actors on an actual moving train anymore, hell we barely see actual steam locomotives in film at all these days. Nowadays their always cheap studio built props that don't even look authentic. And for the actors, it's always a soundstage with CGI backdrops and you never really feel like the characters are actually there.
    My friend Larry Jensen is an author of books about trains in movies. His most recent "Hollywoods Railroads: Volume Two: Sierra Railroad" goes into great detail on the "Back to the Future 3" train scenes and all the hundreds movies and shows the exact same locomotive and cars were in before said film.

    The TellTale video game is the closest thing to an actual sequel I think we're ever going to get. Marty goes back to the 1920s during prohibition and befriends Doc as a teenager, but accidentally causes him to fall in love with a really evil woman who wants to steer Doc away from his science obsession. Without that, the time machine wouldn't exist in the first place. The writing was very clever and polished, with lots of throwbacks to events in the movies. It's something worth checking out if you always wanted to see a 4th BTTF movie.

    I am a big fan of the Back to the Future trilogy. I have nothing but a warm spot for the first film, which had the perfect element of science fiction, comedy, and heart. I am also in the minority that enjoyed Part II, and loved it's corner into darker territory. I do agree that a little of the heart of the first film was missing in the second, which was why Back to the Future Part III was a worthy conclusion.

    This is the only one of the three I saw at the cinema (on my birthday no less) and I always loved it. As for the ending with the train I figured that with the luxury of time (they were in a rush to get back to future before Doc got shot) and the added assistance from Clara, who is shown to be very clever, that Doc would make the new time machine eventually (he has kids so it could have taken him years to construct it). We don't have the materials to make a time machine now so I can suspend disbelief for the joy of that final shot of the flying train which mirrors the final shot of the first film. I always like it if trilogies can bring back something from the first part as it makes it feel satisfying.

    I think Part 3 is mainly perceived as a weaker film because the first two have a much tighter rhythm and pace. This one felt more relaxed with less urgency. The first two had pretty major problems that required Doc & Marty to act quickly to resolve them. In Part 3, they don't have much plot to deal with until the showdown with Buford and hijacking the train, which didn't require the critical accuracy of the lightning strike. The film just slows down too much instead of building momentum.

    I've been binge watching these retrospectives for the last 3 days Oliver and I have to say I love this series, it's far more superior to what other creators have done (that I have seen so far anyway). Watching this though brought back so many fond memories of how much I love this film series. Thanks so much for covering BTTF, it's one of those film series that always has a special place in everyones hearts, and I really envy those who have not seen or have no interest in the series. I have to say though, your choice to overlay The Power of Love into a montage over the 3 movies is so relevant to the overall subject of the series being Love and family. It would be fantastic if you tied all 3 reviews into 1 playlist though if you haven't already, especially with how you ended this video bud. Keep up the amazing work Ollie, thankyou!

    Wait. In the first movie, Marty said, "This sucker is nuclear!?!" and Doc said: "No! This sucker is eletrical!" meaning the car. So why does it need gasoline!?

    • @Mrcool210
      @Mrcool210 8 років тому +5

      marty and doc were talking about the flux capacitor, not the car. The Flux capacitor ran on plutonium which generated enough electricity for the flux capacitor to time travel.

    • @afonsolucas2219
      @afonsolucas2219 8 років тому +3

      Mrcool210 Yes, but for The flux capacitor to work, they need the car to movie at 88, which it won't do without gasoline, so, what the hell is eletrical, it was obvious Doc was reffering to the car as being electric.

    • @RobertBrkljaca
      @RobertBrkljaca 8 років тому +2

      When you put flash on camera, you can turn it on even if the camera is off. For flash to fire, it needs to be turned on (it has its on power source), and it needs, lets say a signal or a "boost" from camera. When you press a button to take a photo, flash gets the signal and fires from its own power source. Same here, flux capacitor has its own power, but it needs the velocity. Those two things combined create a portal, a jump. So Doc puts it on a car. Flux gives the power, car gives the speed. When car makes 88 mph, flux gets the signal and "fires".

    • @ilyanagalen9320
      @ilyanagalen9320 8 років тому +4

      Nuclear 'power' still just generates electricity. Doc even explains that he needs 1.21 gigawatts of power. This is roughly the same power output as a nuclear power station. That's why the Delorean in the first film runs on plutonium, because it's one of the only ways Doc could generate such huge power outputs.
      At some point, Doc went forward and (probably when he had the hover conversion done) had the power plant replaced with the cold fusion generator, making the Delorean able to generate the power much more easily.
      The car however still runs on regular petrol ('gas' in the US) in order to get up to speed because it's just a regular combustion engine. So no, Doc does not mean the car is electrical - he means the flux capacitor is electrical and this power is supplied by the plutonium power plant.

    It ended and I did probably the stupidest half run half cross legged hobble ever.
    I swear I was pissing for like 2 minutes, felt that long anyway.

  • @Larry

    Aside from all the paradoxes, the big hole for BTTF3 was Doc saying petrol didn't exist in 1885, when it did and was readily available.
    The issue is that gasoline is a by-product of kerosene, which was manufactured in HUGE quantities in the 1800's to fuel lamps Etc in a pre electricity America. they just dumped the gasoline as it was worthless to them.
    So Doc would have known the potential of gasoline, even if the manufacturers didn't. So could have gotten tons of the stuff cheaply.

    I’m surprised you didn’t mention the part where Tannin spins his revolver back and forth like a pro gunslinger and then holsters it as a memorable moment.
    I like it because they hold on the shot long enough to let the audience know it had been Tom Wilson spinning the gun. It’s nice to see the director give an actor a moment like that when they have been playing a goofball villain for a year+

If i review a film and there was a computer game released then i will include it. I have included more Siskel & Ebert recently because there is reviews available for that particular film, some people have said use other reviewers, well i would if i could find any lol. But anyway cheers for the feedback. :)

  • @Sh0ckmaster
    @Sh0ckmaster 5 років тому +1

    There's a sense of adventure with the Back to the Future films that you just don't get with these modern "blockbuster" type movies. The time travel bits are a part of the story, but they aren't the story. At it's heart is the enduring friendship between Marty and Doc Brown. Look at Marty's tearful reaction in part 1 where he thinks he's too late to save Doc, and the great reaction at 0:33 when they see each other again.

  • @usgatlas2085
    @usgatlas2085 9 років тому +5

    You forgot to mention the deleted scene where Tatten and his gang kills the sherffic and leaves his son to witness the whole thing. That scene was so dark and out of nowhere that it doesn't match the rest of the film.

  • @joeman8523

    • @kilman819
      @kilman819 8 років тому +3

      it would result in a paradox if they took that one because if they took it then it wouldn't be there for Marty to use in 1955.

    • @ilyanagalen9320

      It's not addressed in the film, but Doc would likely have advised against messing with the Delorean he left in the cave. He'd already sealed it up, and breaking it open again risked it being discovered before Marty and 1955 Doc could retrieve it. There's also the problem that they had blown a key part of the Delorean's fuel system trying to use spirits to run it, and they didn't have that time as Doc was getting shot in only a few days.
      I did like the little detail that the lightning strike not only blew a key part of the time circuits requiring 1955 doc to fix, but it destroyed the flying circuits. If they could've flown it like in Part II, most of Part III wouldn't have happened!

  • @bakugan13112001

    He couldn fix the Delorian,but it would take him years.They only had one week to do it.
    The train was probabily being built for many years,considering they even got 2 kids while the time-train was built.

    Did you know that Michael J. Fox almost died in the production of this movie? The bit where he is strung up by the neck by the noose was actually set up wrong, as they usually have a quick release dummy rope for safety, but for some reason it was not checked again before filming started. Fox gasping for air was for real, the crew were really amazed at his realistic acting skills, until one of the crew noticed the blood rushing out of his face and they quickly cut him down. Thankfully due to the crew member realising what was happening and his fast reactions, Fox ended up having a longer life!

  • @bonghunezhou5051
    @bonghunezhou5051 3 роки тому

    My personal favourite entry, clearly ahead of "1" (1985), and slightly ahead of Part 2. Indeed, this trilogy is one of a few where each subsequent entry IMPROVES on each preceding one.

  • @StarWarriorCentral
    @StarWarriorCentral 4 роки тому +1

    This was the first one I saw and remembered. My family had taped its broadcast, and I watched it over and over again (with hilarious censorship at times, like Marty saying "He's an idiot" when his mouth clearly said "asshole"). I then saw Part II (also taped from the broadcast) and finished watching the films with Part I (on a VHS I found at Goodwill). Overall, my favorite is STILL Part II to this day. I love the more adventurous feel to it as opposed to the more romantic tones of the first and third films, and it's a great story involving the dangers of time travel and what somebody must do to fix their mistakes without being detected.
    Don't get me wrong. I LOVE period films, and the other movies clearly put more focus on that...but the story of Part II is the most exciting for me.

  • @Elfrunner
    @Elfrunner 12 років тому +1

    Oh, and I disagree with Ebert about the setting. The time period had to be the fictional Old West to match the tone of the Back to the Future films. If Doc and Marty had been in the real West, the movie wouldn't have been a lighthearted comedy. Buford Tannen probably would have been far more psychotic than he was portrayed in the movie. As it was, he shot Marshal Strickland in the back in one of the deleted scenes. The producers probably would have left that in if they'd wanted authenticity.
