When Doc and Marty are at the drive-in preparing the DeLorean for the trip to 1885, Marty mentions Clint Eastwood and Doc replies, 'Clint who?' In this shot, there is a movie poster on the drive-in's wall showcasing Revenge of the Creature (1955) and Tarantula (1955), containing some of the first film appearances of a young, then-unknown Eastwood. Marty even looks to and briefly points to the poster as he says to Doc 'That's right, you haven't heard of him yet.'

According to the book 'Billy Gibbons: Rock & Roll Gearhead', ZZ Top was hanging around the set, and was asked to be the town band. During one take, the camera broke. While waiting for the camera to be repaired, Michael J. Fox asked if they would play 'Hey Good Lookin' which they did. Afterwards, more requests were played. Two hours later, someone inquired if the camera had been repaired. Robert Zemeckis replied that it had been fixed for quite a while, he just didn't want to stop the party that had evolved.

For Back to the Future Part II (1989) and III, two years were spent building the sets and completing the scripts. They were filmed back-to-back over eleven months, in order to take advantage of Michael J. Fox's extended break from Family Ties (1982), which was coming to the end of its run. While Part III was being filmed, Part II was being edited.

To film the destruction of the DeLorean (right after Marty McFly's eventual return to 1985), the filmmakers consulted with the engineer of the diesel freight train (The VCRY #9, which belonged to the Ventura County Railway) that would smash the DeLorean to pieces. When asked if smashing the car might derail the train, the engineer replied, 'Are you kidding? I've been waiting to do this my whole life!'

The character of Clara Clayton is in reference to Clara Clemens, Samuel Clemens' (Mark Twain's) daughter. Clara Clemens went on a sleigh ride with her future husband, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the horse took fright from a wind-swept newspaper and bolted while Gabrilowitsch lost control. At the top of a hill, next to a fifty foot drop, the sleigh overturned, throwing Clemens out. Gabrilowitsch leaped to the ground and caught the horse by the head, stopping it as it was about to plunge over the bank, dragging Clemens with her dress caught in a runner.

Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen is arrested by Marshal Strickland's Deputy, rather than the Marshal himself. During the arrest, when the charge 'robbing the Pine City Stage' is read, the camera cuts away to Marty and Emmett. There is a reason for both of these: Buford was originally arrested for the murder of Marshal Strickland. The murder scene was deleted, as it was deemed too dark for a family film, and the line was dubbed over.

In the first movie, Doc tells Marty that he was inspired to create the flux capacitor after hitting his head on the bathroom sink while trying to hang a clock over his toilet. In this movie, when Doc freaks out after seeing Marty in his house and runs into the bathroom, you can just see the clock hanging above the toilet, on which he slipped.

There exists enough clues in all three movies to reconstruct the travels of the DeLorean precisely (to within a few minutes at worst, except 2015 Biff's arrival in 1955 and Doc's personal travels). There are a few interesting things to note: Not counting the time Doc traveled by himself, the DeLorean spent nearly seventy-one years (on its own time scale) from its first time travel to its destruction. By the time Marty made his ultimate return to 1985, he was approximately fourteen days, three hours, and twenty-seven minutes older than he should have been; Jennifer, on the other hand, is seven hours and twenty-six minutes younger than she should have been. Another interesting conclusion is a point of contention. There are two theories, one of which drops the last item. On November 12, 1955, between the time Biff arrived (or 6 a.m., whichever came later) and 6:38 p.m. (the time he left), there were four DeLoreans present in Hill Valley (ordered from its point of view): (1) The instance when Marty was trapped in 1955 in the original movie. (2) The instance when Biff came to 1955 to give himself the almanac. (3) The instance when Marty and Doc came back to 1955 to take the almanac back. (4) The instance when it was waiting in the abandoned mine. Those who do not agree with (4) argue that according to the 'ripple effect' timeline as presented in the films, there wouldn't be a DeLorean hidden by Doc in the mine until later that evening, when the lightning blast would accidentally send Doc back to 1885, thereby altering the timeline. It is *entirely true* that *we* do not ever witness a moment in the films where all four instances coexist, but the text 'ordered from its point of view' above should hint at a solution. Once the DeLorean is in 1885, consider what it would detect (if it were in a position to witness the comings and goings of its former selves): over seventy years of peace, then (1) arrives, then (2) and (3) arrive in some order; (2) then leaves at 6:38 p.m., (3) leaves around 10 p.m., and (1) leaves at 10:04 p.m. (4) itself leaves soon after that. If we grant that all three of those instances (1-3) continue to exist in the 'final' timeline, then there should be no problem accepting this theory. Still not convinced? Consider the one hundred-year gap near the end of this movie, when Marty takes the DeLorean on its final journey. Seventy years into it, for a few hours, there are four instances of the car.

According to the clock behind them, Doc and Marty have their picture taken at 8:08 p.m. This is possibly a reference to the eighty-eight miles per hour speed the DeLorean must reach before it can travel through time.

The person who has time traveled the farthest into the future is Clara Clayton. At the end of the film, when Marty asked Doc where he's headed 'Back to the future?' Doc responds with 'Nope, already been there.' Clara was with him during the time travels, and assuming they visited the year 2015, she traveled one hundred thirty years into the future. Many believe the DeLorean traveled the farthest back to the past, but actually it's the hoverboard. Being from October 21, 2015, it traveled all the way to September 2, 1885, for a total of one hundred thirty years, one month and nineteen days. Coincidentally, both of those dates fell on a Wednesday.

Each movie in the trilogy has an early scene that foreshadows an event that occurs in the third act. In the first movie, a figure of a guy clinging to a clock is seen in Doc's lab which foreshadows the climax of the movie in which Doc clings to a clock in a similar way. In the second movie, Doc says that he wishes the post office was as punctual as the weather and at the end a post office man gives a letter to Marty in 1955 at the precise time Doc is sent to 1885. In the third movie, when Doc is explaining to Marty at the Clayton Ravine how the train is going to push the DeLorean to eighty-eight miles per hour, he laments that nobody is going to be there to witness it. At the end, Doc remains with Clara, and thus witnesses the event.

The man in the saloon with barbed wire, with whom Doc Brown converses, is not named, but is John Warne Gates, who was a salesman for the Southern Wire Company of St. Louis, Missouri, which merged with the wire company of William Edenborn to form Braddock Wire Company, from which Consolidated Steel and Wire Company was organized in 1888. With the help of Chicago attorney Elbert Henry Gary, he created a monopoly in the U.S. wire industry in 1898 with American Steel and Wire Company, which was sold in 1901 to J.P. Morgan in a deal (also negotiated by Gary) to become part of the new U.S. Steel conglomerate.1. Gates was a founder of The Texas Company which became the Texaco oil company. This is another reference to the Texaco company which is represented in the first and second movie and (due to this reference) in all time frames.

The film is the final chapter of the Back to the Future trilogy. However, an animated television series based on the trilogy premiered on September 14, 1991, and it ran for two seasons. The series took place after this movie, and it depicted the further adventures of Marty, Doc, Clara, their sons Jules and Verne, their family dog Einsten, and the DeLorean time machine is rebuilt, and is now voice-activated. In 2016, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd unofficially return in their roles for a Back to the Future Part IV trailer, which was a parody of the trilogy, and the trailer saw Marty and Doc embarking on one last adventure. However, Doc inventing a time travel machine out of a steam train hinted at a possible second trilogy or spin-off. But, due to Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's Disease, Fox returning as Marty is doubtful.

The Delorean's wheels are conveniently located for riding on railroad tracks. The car's track width is 62.6', and the front wheels are 6' wide. The standard gauge used on U.S. railroads is 56.5'.
During the scene where they are prepping the DeLorean at the drive in theater, Marty says 'You know, Doc, it's gonna be a hell of a long walk back to Hill Valley.' He's really not kidding. From Monument Valley, UT, where they constructed the drive-in set, to the zip code of the fictional Hill Valley, CA, 95420 (actually Caspar, CA), the shorter of the two major routes (driving) is 1,092 miles along Interstate 40. If Doc actually did walk it, the most direct route is 1,002 miles/334 hours, which walking eight hours a day, would take approximately 42 days.

Throughout the trilogy, the DeLorean, and its duplicates created via time travel make fifteen trips through time, thirteen on-screen. They are: 1) Doc's dog, Einstein, is sent one minute into the future to test the machine. 2) Marty travels back to 1955 from 1985. 3) Marty returns to 1985 from 1955. 4) Doc travels to 2015 from 1985. 5) (Not seen on-screen) Doc travels to some point beyond 2015 to learn that Marty's family has unraveled. 6) (Also not on-screen) Doc travels to 2015 from the future to find the beginning of the unraveling of Marty's family. 7) Doc returns to 1985 from 2015. 8) Doc takes Marty and Jennifer forward to 2015 from 1985. 9) Biff travels from 2015 to 1955 to give himself the sports almanac, thus creating an alternate timeline. 10) Biff returns to 2015 from 1955. 11) Doc, Marty, and Jennifer return to the alternate 1985 from 2015. 12) Marty and Doc travel back to 1955 from the alternate 1985 to get the sports almanac from Biff. 13) Doc accidentally travels from 1955 to 1885 when the DeLorean is hit by lightning. 14) Marty travels from 1955 to 1885 to rescue Doc. 15) Marty returns to 1985 from 1885. A sixteenth (fourteenth on-screen) time travel voyage is made by Doc and his family in the Time Train from the future to 1985 to introduce Marty and Jennifer to Jules and Verne, and to give Marty an undamaged photo of him and Doc Brown in front of the clock. Additional off-screen time travelling has occurred as stated by Doc Brown (presumably in both the DeLorean and the Time Train), but these are the sixteen confirmed travels.

In the deleted scene (shown on DVD), Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen was supposed to shoot Marshal Strickland in the back, killing him. His son was present at the time. This was edited out of the final cut, as it was deemed too depressing. This is why Strickland's Deputy arrests Buford at the end of the movie, rather than Strickland himself.

If the DeLorean was equipped with a time odometer which measured years travelling backwards or forwards in time incrementally (much like a standard odometer measures miles travelled forwards incrementally), it would have travelled a grand total of five hundred seventy years through time before being destroyed. Here's how the time odometer would have been measured (for the sake of simplicity, any short time hops, such as Einstein's one minute future jump in 1985, and Doc's one day future jump in 2015 will be ignored, as will the exact times for each jump listed): 1) 1985 to 1955 = thirty years (Marty's original trip to 1955). 2) 1955 to 1985 = sixty years (Marty's return to 1985). 3) 1985 to 2015 = ninety years (Doc's trip to 2015). 4) 2015 to 1985 = one hundred twenty years (Doc's return to 1985 to warn Marty and Jennifer). 5) 1985 to 2015 = one hundred fifty years (Doc, Marty, and Jennifer's trip to 2015). 6) 2015 to 1955 = two hundred ten years (Old Biff's trip to 1955 to give his younger self the Almanac). 7) 1955 to 2015 = two hundred seventy years (Old Biff's return). 8) 2015 to 1985A = three hundred years (Doc and Marty's trip to Alternate 1985). 9) 1985A to 1955 = three hundred thirty years (Doc and Marty's trip to 1955 to retrieve the Almanac and restore 1985 time line). 10) 1955 to 1885 = four hundred years (Doc's trip to 1885, when the DeLorean was struck by lightning). 11) 1955 to 1885 = four hundred seventy years (DeLorean was buried in 1885, and sat undisturbed for seventy years, before being unearthed in 1955, and used to travel to 1885). 12) 1885 to 1985 = five hundred seventy years (Marty's return to 1985, and final trip of the DeLorean).

Sierra No. 3, often called the 'Movie Star locomotive', is a 19th-century steam locomotive owned by the State of California and preserved at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in Jamestown, California. Former Transportation History curator at the Smithsonian Institution William L. Withhuhn described the locomotive's historical and cultural significance:
Sierra Railway No. 3 has appeared in more motion pictures, documentaries, and television productions than any other locomotive. It is undisputedly the image of the archetypal steam locomotive that propelled the USA from the 19th century into the 20th.[2]
Built in 1891, the locomotive returned to operation in July 2010 after a fourteen-year absence from service and a three-year-long overhaul, requiring the replacement of its original boiler.
- 3Movie appearances
History[edit]
The locomotive, a 4-6-0 ten-wheeler, was built by the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works of Paterson, New Jersey. Construction of the locomotive was completed on March 26th, 1891, and it was given Rogers construction number 4493. It has 17 in × 24 in (43 cm × 61 cm) cylinders, 56-inch (140 cm) driving wheels and weighs 50 short tons (45 t) in working order.[1] It was built for the Prescott & Arizona Central Railway (P&AC) as their locomotive #3 and named W.N. Kelly after the company's treasurer.
Sierra #3 on the P&AC.
The P&AC went bankrupt in 1893 and its owner, Thomas S. Bullock, relocated to California bringing much of his railroad equipment, including the No. 3. He then entered into a partnership with Prince André Poniatowski and William H. Crocker, and together in 1897 they incorporated the Sierra Railway Company Of California to connect Oakdale, California with the timber producing regions of Tuolumne County and Calaveras County.[3]
The locomotive was then rechristened Sierra No. 3, and played a key role of the construction of the railroad to Jamestown, California in 1897, Sonora, California in 1899 and Tuolumne, California in 1900. It was the primary locomotive pulling freight trains on the railroad until 1906, when the Sierra Railway purchased a new Baldwin Locomotive Works2-8-0 locomotive. It played a significant role in logging, mining and dam building operations in the Sierra foothills.
Originally built to burn coal, the locomotive was converted to burn oil sometime between 1900 and 1902.[1]
Sierra No. 3 was involved in several wrecks. In February 1898, a switch mishap killed conductor William G. Bailey.[3] In September 1899, its tender derailed while backing up on a trestle, causing it to collapse.
1918 derailment that destroyed the original Wooden cab.
The locomotive turned on its side in 1918 just above Sonora, destroying its original wooden cab, which was replaced with a second-hand steel Southern Pacific Railroad cab in February 1919.[3] Two years later, Sierra No. 3 made her first known Hollywood film appearance, in a silent film The Terror starring Tom Mix.
During the Great Depression, the Sierra Railway went into bankruptcy, and was reorganized as the Sierra Railroad Company in 1937.[1] Sierra No. 3 was taken out of service in 1932, and sat on a siding in the Jamestown yard for 15 years.[2] It managed to avoid being scrapped during World War II, and again received attention from Hollywood in 1946, when David O. Selznick, the producer of Duel in the Sun being filmed on the Sierra Railroad, proposed to destroy her in a train wreck scene for the movie. The Sierra Railroad's Master Mechanic Bill Tremewan persuaded the railroad ownership not to consider a notion so 'ridiculous', and instead shop crews restored the locomotive to operation for potential charter and movie service.[1] Inspection of the boiler proved it was in serviceable condition, however the resulting work required a reduction of the Maximum Allowable Working Pressure from 160 to 150 psi (1.10 to 1.03 MPa). The rebuild was completed in 1948, and the locomotive officially returned to service heading a Railway and Locomotive Historical Society sponsored excursion train on May 30. Over the next half-century, Sierra No. 3 pulled tourist excursion trains and appeared in dozens of films, TV shows, and commercials. Among them were High Noon in 1952, for which Gary Cooper won the Academy Award for Best Actor, and Unforgiven, starring and directed by Clint Eastwood, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture for 1992.
Damaged smokestack used in the locomotive explosion scene in Back to the Future Part III.
The locomotive was often redecorated for various movie and television appearances, one of its most famous roles being the Hooterville Cannonball from the mid-sixties series Petticoat Junction. False smokestacks were also often installed to alter the appearance of the locomotive. Can you play gta 5 split screen free.
In 1979, Crocker and Associates announced their intention to sell their interest in the railroad to Silverfoot, Inc. based in Chicago, but the deal did not include the locomotive facilities in Jamestown.[3] The complex, including Sierra No. 3, was acquired by the State of California as a result of legislation passed in April 1981, and signed by Governor Jerry Brown. The acquisition was completed on September 15, 1982, and since then, the locomotive has been the property of the State of California.[1]
In 1995, the Federal Railroad Administration issued new safety standards for steam locomotive boilers. In order to comply with these revised regulations, Sierra No. 3 was removed from service until a complete evaluation of the locomotive's condition could be made.
21st-century renovation[edit]

Preliminary repairs were completed in 2000–2001 with deferred maintenance funding from the State of California. This included dismantling the locomotive.[4] The project progressed very slowly until 2007, when a major fundraising campaign began. At that time, the budget for the project was estimated at US$600,000, based on the assumption that the existing boiler could be saved.
In a fundraising appeal, Clint Eastwood described Sierra No. 3 as 'like a treasured old friend.'[2] Eastwood had ridden the locomotive early in his career on the TV series Rawhide, and later used the locomotive in his own movie productions Pale Rider and Unforgiven. Eastwood wrote, 'Sierra No. 3 resides at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. It is housed in the original roundhouse which is still in use. Together these two assets provide a rare opportunity to experience history just as it was 109 years ago.'[2] Funding for the renovation project was provided by the California Cultural and Historical Endowment,[5] the Irving J. Symons Foundation,[6] the Sonora Area Foundation,[6] the California State Parks Foundation,[7] the Teichert Foundation, DuPont and many individual donors.
The rebuild included boring out the cylinders and turning the drive wheel tires on a lathe.[8] When work on the disassembled locomotive resumed, and the boiler was inspected thoroughly by ultrasound testing,[7] it was discovered that a new boiler was necessary. Its old lap seam design made retrofitting it to modern standards too costly,[8] and the risk of the boiler losing its historical integrity was a risk Railtown staff decided not to take. Engineering drawings and other technical assistance needed to build a new boiler were provided by the Strasburg Rail Road in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.[8] The old boiler was shipped to be used as a pattern to the Chelatchie Boiler Works of Camas, Washington, which fabricated a new welded boiler at a cost of US$600,000.[8] The boiler was then shipped to the historic Southern Pacific shops in Sacramento, California and fitted on the original frame. The locomotive was then trucked back to Jamestown, California for final assembly.[9] The old boiler is now on display at Railtown 1897.
The current configuration of the locomotive represents her appearance during the year 1929, when the movie The Virginian was filmed and provided the first known evidence of the presence of '3-spot's' steel cab. Final cost of the rebuild was US$1.6 million, and the locomotive officially returned to service on July 3, 2010.[10]

Back to the Future Part III is a 1990 American science fiction film[4] and the third and final installment of the Back to the Future trilogy. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis, and stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Mary Steenburgen, Thomas F. Wilson and Lea Thompson. The film continues immediately following Back to the Future Part II (1989); while stranded in 1955 during his time travel adventures, Marty McFly (Fox) discovers that his friend Dr. Emmett 'Doc' Brown (Lloyd), trapped in 1885, was killed by Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen (Wilson), Biff's great-grandfather. Marty travels to 1885 to rescue Doc and return once again to 1985, but matters are complicated when Doc falls in love with schoolteacher Clara Clayton (Steenburgen).
Back to the Future Part III was filmed in California and Arizona, and was produced on a $40 million budget back-to-back with Part II. Part III was released in the United States on May 25, 1990, six months after the previous installment. Part III earned $244.5 million worldwide, making it the sixth-highest-grossing film of 1990.

Plot[edit]
On November 12, 1955, moments after witnessing his apparent death via lightning bolt, Marty McFly (from 1985) learns that Dr. Emmett Brown (also from 1985) was transported to 1885 and is trapped. Marty and Doc's 1955 self use the information in Doc's 1885 letter to repair the DeLorean, with 1885 Doc instructing Marty to return to 1985 and leave him be. Marty spots a tombstone with Doc's name, dated six days after the letter, and learns that Doc was killed by Biff Tannen's great-grandfather, Buford. Marty takes a picture of the tombstone and travels to 1885 to save Doc.
Marty arrives on September 2, 1885, in the middle of a Cavalry pursuit of Indians. When the DeLorean's fuel line is torn, Marty hides the car in a cave and walks to Hill Valley. He meets his Irish-born great-great-grandparents, Seamus and Maggie McFly, and runs afoul of Buford and his gang. Buford attempts to lynch Marty, but Doc rescues him. Doc agrees to leave 1885, but because gasoline is not yet available, the DeLorean cannot reach 88 mph (142 km/h).
Doc devises a plan to use a locomotive to push the DeLorean up to the required speed. While he and Marty explore a rail spur they intend to use, they spot a runaway horse-drawn wagon. Doc saves the passenger, Clara Clayton, and the two fall in love. Marty and Doc find out that Clara was supposed to die in a ravine and they have altered history. At a town festival, Buford tries killing Doc, but Marty thwarts him. Buford insults Marty and challenges him to a showdown in two days; in his anger, Marty accepts. Doc's name disappears from the photograph of the tombstone, but the date remains unchanged; Doc warns that Marty might be the one killed.
Marty and Doc place the DeLorean onto the spur, and Doc makes Marty promise that once he returns to 1985 the DeLorean will be destroyed. Unable to convince Clara that he is from the future, Doc is spurned. He goes to the saloon for a binge, but Marty convinces Doc to leave with him. Doc drinks a single shot of whiskey and passes out. Buford arrives and calls out Marty, but Marty refuses to duel. Doc awakes after drinking the bartender's special 'Wake-Up Juice' and tries fleeing with Marty, but Buford's gang captures Doc, forcing Marty to duel. After fooling Buford into thinking he has killed Marty using a bulletproof plate, Marty knocks Buford into a wagon full of manure. Buford is arrested for an earlier robbery.
As Clara leaves on the train, she overhears a salesman discussing how heartbroken Doc was. Clara applies the emergency brake and returns to town. She discovers Doc's model of the time machine and rides after him. Stealing the locomotive at gunpoint, Doc and Marty begin pushing the DeLorean along the spur line. Clara boards the locomotive while Doc climbs toward the DeLorean. Doc encourages Clara to join him, but she falls, hanging by her dress. Marty passes his hoverboard to Doc so he can save Clara. They coast away from the train as it falls off an unfinished railroad bridge; Marty travels to 1985 on the completed bridge.

Marty arrives on October 27, 1985, escaping the powerless DeLorean before it is destroyed by an oncoming freight train. He discovers that everything has returned to the initial post-time travel timeline, and finds Jennifer sleeping on her front porch. He uses the lessons he learned in 1885 to avoid being goaded into a street race with Douglas J. Needles, avoiding a possible automobile accident. Remembering that this accident would have sent Marty's life spiraling downward, Jennifer opens a fax message she kept from 2015, and watches as its text regarding Marty's firing disappears.
As Marty and Jennifer examine the DeLorean wreckage, a locomotive equipped with a flux capacitor appears, manned by Doc, Clara, and their two children Jules and Verne. Doc gives Marty a photo of the two of them by the clockworks in 1885. Jennifer asks about the fax, and Doc tells them it means that the future has not yet been written.

Production[edit]
One of the DeLorean vehicles used in the film
The origins of the western theme for Back to the Future Part III lie in the production of the original film. During filming for the original, director Zemeckis asked Michael J. Fox what time period he would like to see. Fox replied that he wanted to visit the Old West and meet cowboys. Zemeckis and writer/producer Bob Gale were intrigued by the idea, but held it off until Part III.[5] Rather than use existing sets, the filmmakers built the 1885 Hill Valley from scratch.[5] The western scenes were filmed on location in Monument Valley.[6] Some of the location shooting for the 1885 Hill Valley was done in Jamestown, California, and on a purpose-built set at the Red Hills Ranch near Sonora, California.[6] Some of the train scenes were filmed at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park,[7] a heritage line in Jamestown. Whereas the original film played to a more materialistic idea of success, Zemeckis considered Part III more of a 'human journey' with spiritual overtones.[8]
The shooting of the Back to the Future sequels, which were shot back-to-back throughout 1989, reunited much of the crew of the original.[8] The films were shot over the course of 11 months, save for a three-week hiatus between filming of Parts II and III. The most grueling part was editing Part II while filming Part III, and Zemeckis bore the brunt of the process over a three-week period. While Zemeckis was shooting most of the train sequences in Sonora, Gale was in Los Angeles supervising the final dub of Part II.[8] Zemeckis would wrap photography and board a private plane to Burbank, where Gale and engineers would greet him on the dubbing stage with dinner. He would oversee the reels completed that day, and make changes where needed.[8] Afterwards, he would retire to the Sheraton Universal Hotel for the night. The following morning, Zemeckis would drive to the Burbank Airport, board a flight back to the set in Northern California, and continue to shoot the film.[8]
Although the schedule for most of the personnel involved was grueling, the actors found the remote location for Part III relaxing, compared to shooting its predecessor.[8]
The role of Clara Clayton was written with Mary Steenburgen in mind. When she received the script, however, she was reluctant to commit to the film until her kids, who loved the original, 'hounded' her.[8] Lloyd shared his first on-screen kiss with Steenburgen in Part III.[8] The Hill Valley Festival Dance scene proved to be the most dangerous for Lloyd and Steenburgen; overzealous dancing left Steenburgen with a torn ligament in her foot.[5]
The film also starred veteran western film actors Pat Buttram, Harry Carey, Jr., and Dub Taylor, as three 'saloon old timers'.[9] Buttram was also known to younger audiences for his extensive voice work, particularly as the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Disney version of Robin Hood.[10] The inclusion of these noticeable Western actors was promoted in several documentaries about the film as well as the behind-the-scenes documentary of the DVD and in the obituary of one of the actors.[11] The musicians of the Old West–style band in the film were played by ZZ Top.
Shooting a film set in the Old West was appealing to the stuntmen, who were all experienced horse riders. 'We had every great stuntman in Hollywood wanting to work on Part III,' recalled Gale in 2002.[8] Thomas F. Wilson, who played Buford Tannen, chose to perform his own stunts and spent a great deal of time learning to ride a horse and throw his lariat. Filming was halted when Michael J. Fox's father died and when his son was born.[5]
Alan Silvestri, through his longtime collaboration with Zemeckis, returned to compose the score for Back to the Future Part III. Rather than dictate how the music should sound, Zemeckis directed Silvestri as he would an actor, seeking to evoke emotion and treating every piece of music like a character.[8]
The photography in Part III was a 'dream' for cinematographer Dean Cundey, who agreed with much of the crew in his excitement to shoot a western. The filmmakers sought a bright, colorful picture for each scene, with a hint of sepia tone in certain shots.[8] Zemeckis wished to create a spectacular climax to the film. He coordinated the actors, a live 4-6-0 ten wheeler steam locomotive, pyrotechnics, and special effects, and countless technicians all at once.[8] As they had done with the previous two films in the trilogy, the visual effects for Part III were managed by effects company Industrial Light & Magic; the head of its animation department, Wes Takahashi, returned to once again animate the DeLorean's time travel sequences.[12][13]
Release and reception[edit]
The film grossed $23 million in its first weekend of U.S. release and $87.6 million altogether in U.S. box office receipts (or about $152.4 million when adjusted for inflation[14] as of January 2011) – $243 million worldwide.[15][16][17]
On December 17, 2002, Universal released Back to the Future Part III in a boxed set with the first two films on DVD and VHS. In the DVD widescreen edition, there was a framing flaw that Universal has since corrected, available in sets manufactured after February 21, 2003.[18]
Critical reaction[edit]
The review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 75% approval rating, based on 43 reviews, with an average rating of 6.5/10.[19]
Kim Newman of Empire gave the film four out of five stars, saying that the film 'restores heart interest of the first film and has a satisfying complete storyline'. He praised Michael J. Fox for 'keeping the plot on the move,' and mentioned that Christopher Lloyd and Mary Steenburgen's romance was 'funny'. He said that the film's ending was the 'neatest of all,' and it 'features one of the best time machines in the cinema, promising that this is indeed the very last in the series and neatly wrapping it up for everybody.[20]
Leonard Maltin preferred this film to the first two, giving it three-and-a-half stars out of four, saying it 'offers great fun, dazzling special effects, and imagination to spare. There's real movie magic at work here.'[21] Michael McWhertor of the website Polygon wrote that while the film was not better than the original entry in the series, it is nonetheless 'leagues better than the second'; he praised the film's comedic and romantic elements and commended Thomas F. Wilson's performance as 'Mad Dog' Tannen.[22]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two-and-a-half out of four stars. He said that the film's western motifs are 'a sitcom version that looks exactly as if it were built on a back lot somewhere'.[23] Although Vincent Canby of The New York Times praised Christopher Lloyd's performance in the film, he also said that the film 'looks as if it could be the beginning of a continuing television series'. He complained that the film is 'so sweet-natured and bland that it is almost instantly forgettable'.[24]
Commentators notice parallels between the films Time After Time and Back to the Future III.[25] Mary Steenburgen has said:
Actually, I've played the same scene in that film (Time After Time) and in (BTTF) 'Part III,. I've had a man from a different time period tell me that he's in love with me, but he has to go back to his own time. My response in both cases is, of course, disbelief, and I order them out of my life. Afterwards, I find out I was wrong and that, in fact, the man is indeed from another time, and I go after him (them) to profess my love. It's a pretty strange feeling to find yourself doing the same scene, so many years apart, for the second time in your career.[26]
The casting of Steenburgen for Back to the Future III appears to be deliberately intended to mirror the earlier role.[27][28] In Time After Time, the woman lives in the 20th century and the time traveller is from the 19th. In Back to the Future III, the woman inhabits the 19th century and the time traveller is from the 20th.[28][29] In both films, the woman eventually goes back with the time traveller to live in his own time period.[30]
Accolades[edit]
In 1990, the film won a Saturn Award for Best Music for Alan Silvestri and a Best Supporting Actor award for Thomas F. Wilson.[31] In 2003, it received an AOL Movies DVD Premiere Award for Best Special Edition of the Year, an award based on consumer online voting.[32]

I was noticing the time-traveling ties between 'Time After Time' (1979) and another movie 'Back to the Future III' (1990), a film also starring Mary Steenburgen. In 'Time After Time', she played Amy Robbins, a 20th Century woman who falls in love with a time traveller, H.G. Wells (played by Malcolm McDowell) from the 19th Century.. In Back to the Future Part III (1990), she played Clara Clayton, a 19th Century woman who falls in love with a time traveller, (played by Christopher Lloyd) from the 20th Century.

Steenburgen was sought to play Clara in part based on her role in this movie where she plays the love interest of another time traveller. Instead of a man from the future who is a fan of a famed 19th century sci-fi and fantasy author, her leading man is from the past and an actual famed 19th century sci-fi and fantasy author, H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell).. he brings Steenburgen’s character back to his own time period, just as Doc does with Clara.

The conclusion to Back to the Future III (where both Doc and Clara travel to 1985 to meet with Marty once more, in a new time machine constructed within a steam-powered locomotive), intertextually connects this moment with the conclusion of Meyer’s Time After Time, where H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) not only prevents Jack the Ripper (David Warner) from continuing his murder spree in San Francisco in 1979, but also brings Amy Robbins (also played by Mary Steenburgen) back to Victorian England with him. Thus, both women are positioned as a reward for the time traveller’s dedication and emotional connection to the machine. Both Clara and Amy are permanently relocated by their respective masters of time, just as Wells’s Time Traveller had intended with Weena.
