i had totaly forgotten the ending to 3, that was godawful, but the rest of the movies are of course pure greatness
some questions arise of course not related to the time travel paradoxes
-why didnt doc avoid the libyans all together after he got martys note. he wore a vest- but what if he got shot in the face- he didnt know how he would die- just that he would
-the indians and calvary see the delorean when he arrives in 1885, hes right in the midst of him, but they all keep riding
neat seeing people you now recognize
Flea was Needles
Billy Zane is one of Biff's goons
Burton Gilliam, Lyle from Blazing saddles, was the Colt peacemaker rep in III

I watch back to back to back probably 3 or 4 times a year, not counting the times i just watch an individual film. i say unabashedly that it's my favorite trilogy. i'm also one the rare people, maybe the only one on this board, that likes the 3rd film. i find it's more fun to pick at the minutia than the story writers decisions when it comes to a film as fantastical as BTTF.

i enjoyed 3, just not the very end with Docs magic train

I haven't seen three in a while but I've always thought it was a nice complement to the first two. It's hard to get three movies right and at least they didn't screw it up. My least favorite part of three was doc's love story sucked. She puts me to sleep. I watch it and think the whole time "please shut up and just get back in the kitchen."

Doc's Magic Train: yes, even I, the little boy who daydreamed about a flying train in grade school, thinks it's a little odd that Doc is the same age after rebuilding a time machine out of 1885 parts and a train. I mean, it took him 30 years to build one with 20th century parts...an elderly Doc would have made the magic train much more believable.
Doc's love interest: I guess I don't have a big problem with Steenburgen because she kinda gives off that nerd vibe Doc would be attracted to. Fantasy casting in 1988/89 when it was filmed means it would be excellent to have a Doc Brown/Kim Basinger sex scene in there...

Definitely up there as far ad trilogies go. I liked the dark 1985 best.

I have always maintained and will continue to do so... BTTF 2 and 3 were some of the worst sequels to a great original ever made.
Carry on

Needed the plutonium from somewhere still...guess this was still his best option.

Bona fide plot hole.

I have always maintained that when everyone else is wrong and you are right, you are wrong.

Doc states the wishes he never built a time machine, so at the end of 3 what does he do? Build another time-machine, and he just throws any attempt at blending in out the window with the whole hovering, whimsical, time machine train thing.

Recorded and now watching part 2. They make too many mistakes with that damn Almanac. Each movie essentially has the same exact things in it, just in different time periods. Biff or some generations of Tannen is the bad guy, and they have to fix what happens and eventually Marty McFly gets called chicken, and biff runs into manure at the end.

well duh. I think this is a nice little plot detail in each of them. Not something to bring it down a peg.

hey, rosebud was the sled.

So the Marty that ends up back in the "perfect 1985" (Parents/Siblings are successful, he has the car, etc) has to know that Biff is basically evil incarnate right? The dude basically killed his dad and enslaved his mom in one reality, was an all time douche in another, and his great-grandfather was a wild-west bandit. I would feel very uncomfortable knowing that if Biff gets any slack, he will probably try to do something evil, and yet he hangs around the family.

I love these movies, they are all good fun, but what kind of killed it for me was reading something that made me realize Part III is basically unnecessary. The same Doc that sees his grave in 1955 is the same Doc that gets accidentally sent back to 1885. So Doc knows he's gonna get shot by Mad Dog and he knows when, the whole point of Marty going back in time to warn him is pointless.

6 months and 4 posts...were the other 3 nuclear bombs as well, because this just blew my mind.
