Back to the Future Part III

THEY’VE SAVED THE BEST TRIP FOR LASTā€¦ BUT THIS TIME THEY MAY HAVE GONE TOO FAR.

backtothefuture3Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) is stuck in 1885 and will be murdered, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) learns, unless he can travel back in time from 1955 and warn the good Doc.Ā The final chapter in this time-traveling trilogy takes the protagonists back to the old West, where Marty meets his ancestors, sees his home town being built and experiences firsthand all the Western clichĆ©s heā€™s only seen in movies. Itā€™s a much lighter and more charming entry than the second one, even giving us a nice romance between Doc and Mary Steenburgenā€™s character; thereā€™s also plenty of good inside jokes for fans of the series and the Western genre. A thrilling train chase is the climax of the film.

1990-U.S. 118 min. Color. Produced byĀ Bob Gale, Neil Canton. Directed byĀ Robert Zemeckis. Screenplay: Bob Gale. Cast: Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly), Christopher Lloyd (Emmett Brown), Mary Steenburgen (Clara Clayton), Thomas F. Wilson, Lea Thompson, Elisabeth Shue… ZZ Top.

Trivia:Ā Former President Ronald Reagan was allegedly offered to play a part because of his admiration for the first film, but he declined.

Last word:Ā “When Bob Zemeckis called ‘Action,’ I literally got chills as I walked into the middle of the dusty street, a six-shooter strapped to my leg, squaring off against a vicious desperado, as the townsfolk scramble and huddle inside the saloon doors to await the outcome of the confrontation.Ā Those are the kind of elements that make the Old West the perfect setting for the conclusion of the trilogy. The action is fast, the values are pure and the roles are clearly defined. The classic western and the ‘Back to the Future’ films have the same common denominator at the heart of them ā€“ the audience always gets a hero to root for and a villain to loathe.” (Fox, BTTF.com)
