Western setting
Fitting end to the trilogy setting it in western works in my opinion my favourite of the two sequels. Both fox and Lloyd are excellent plus the rest of the cast especially mary steenburgen as browns love interest overall good movie good end to the trilogy

By the time you get to Back to the Future 3, you have seen Marty go "Back to the Future" twice, and Doc and Marty save us from the world of Biff Tannen the casino boss, Lorraine's very large breasts, and Marty's family going down a tumultuous bad trail to a life of disappointments.

Marty discovers Doc will be murdered within a week of him receiving a letter from his friend in 1885 and decides it is worth the risk to go "back" one more time to save him.

Marty finds more relatives in the Old West, as well as that time's version of Biff, now called "Mad Dog" Tannen before eventually reuniting with Doc.



Unlike Back to the Future 2, this film really takes its time and slows the pace down. This element really let's the relationship between lifelong friends develop as well as introduce Doc to the one mystery he has yet to conquer in the universe, Women! Mary Steenburgen was a welcome addition to the cast, although I wish Lea Thompson would have been in this one more.

The climactic scene with the steam locomotive trying to push the DeLorean up to 88 mph to get the duo back to their own time is one of my favorite endings of all time. It is executed with precision and great music and editing to achieve the desired effect.

It is funny, when I was listening to the audio commentary after viewing the film, director Robert Zemeckis said when they finished shooting the film, the land owners who let them use the property while filming asked if they could leave the western town they had built as an homage to the production an filmmakers agreed. Years later they found out the entire town had been destroyed when it had been struck by lightning during a storm.

I thought that was a good end to the story.

Final part of the Back to the Future trilogy, this is the 1880s set Western-in-all-but-name one, with Marty travelling back to that period of history to save the life of his friend 'Doc' Emmett Brown (who, here, gets a lot more character development than in any of the previous two movies).

Lots of knowing nods and winks in this one - most egregiously being Marty McFly's chosen name of 'Clint Eastwood' when he meets his ancestors - with the DeLorean time machine again incapacitated in the past, necessitating an ingenious solution (here, to get up the requisite 88 miles per hour).

Probably could have done without the 'flying train' coda at the very end, though!

Honestly, this might be my favorite of the three! I have a friend who said I shouldn't watch this one and for the life of me, I can't figure out why. I really enjoyed it! I love Michael J. Fox and Marty even more. I love Mart and Doc's relationship and that each of the stories felt fresh but still like they belonged together. I love the history that's in the film between the Tannen's and the McFly's - I think it makes for a well-rounded story through all the films.

I'm super glad I watched these, especially now when I can understand a lot more about what's happening and the different nuances. Definitely a good film!
