the "Dollar Trilogy" would be another suggestion for some reaction videos ! (although quite different from some funny scifi movie, it is an important classic trilogy)
Also the scene where Doc shoots the rope when Marty is being hanged by Mad Dog is a homage to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, where Clint Eastwood's character shoots a rope that is hanging a man.
@@mikemackay5271 Because of a support mishap, Michael J. Fox was actually strangling from that rope around his neck and nearly passed out. His distress in that scene was real; not just good acting.
My favorite fun fact: President Reagan is referenced in the first movie (“Ronald Reagan? The ACTOR?!?”), and when BTTF was screened for Reagan at Camp David, he enjoyed it so much he had the projectionist rewind the film and show the scene again. In the second movie, a digitized version of Reagan was the host at the Cafe 80’s. For the third movie, the producers asked Reagan if he would consider coming out of (film) retirement to play the 1885 Hill Valley mayor! Reagan reportedly gave it serious consideration, but ultimately declined.
@@secularmonk5176 That actually is the main factor in his decision to decline. Even so, shooting of BTTF3 concluded about a year after Reagan left office, so he wasn’t too far gone at the time the offer was made.
This particular movie has the most believably played-out "love at first sight" situation I've ever seen! And I love how Clara is unstuck in time, so it makes perfect sense for her to travel with Doc. 'Cause if their original plan had gone through, leaving her as an intelligent, attractive, personable young woman in 1885...who KNOWS how the world could have been changed from the original timeline where she'd died in the ravine?
When Marty sees the pie plate that says frisbie that's actually accurate. Frisbee originally started off as a pie plate company called Frisbie in 1871. People started throwing them around and a new toy was born and renamed Frisbee. And yes Cristy Wells Fargo has been around since 1852.
@@CristyReacts The founders of the original company were Henry Wells (1805-78) and William George Fargo (1818-81), who had earlier helped establish the American Express Company. They and other investors established Wells, Fargo & Company in March 1852 to handle the banking and express business prompted by the California Gold Rush. The Express co. was the cross-country shipping method of its time.
13:16 - BOWLER HATS. Despite what you may see in old Western movies, American cowboys and railroad workers preferred the bowler hat to the traditional cowboy hat because it wouldn't blow off easily in a strong wind. The Bowler hat became extremely popular in the American West, prompting Lucius Beebe to call it "the hat that won the West". Lucius Morris Beebe (9 December 1902 - 4 February 1966) was an American writer, gourmand, photographer, railroad historian, journalist, and syndicated columnist.
5:26 _"Amazing!_ I actually end up... as a _blacksmith_ in the _Old West."_ Yeah. And it seems like a pretty good set up, too. _Everyone_ in the Old West needed a blacksmith.
In 1976, Matt Clark played Kelly the bartender in The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), serving Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood). Here, Clark plays Chester the bartender serving Marty McFly as "Clint Eastwood."
The great character actor Pat Buttram at 28:47. He was Gene Autry's sidekick on one of the first TV Western series, The Gene Autry Show. But he's best known as Mr. Haney on TV's Green Acres. In BTTF 3 he's joined by barmates Harry Carey Jr. (The Searchers) and Dub Taylor (The Wild Bunch), both veterans of Western films.
Pat Buttram also voiced some characters in Disney films, such as the Sheriff of Nottingham in _Robin Hood_ (1973), Luke in _The Rescuers_ (1978) and Chief in _The Fox and the Hound_ (1981). He also voiced the Toon bullets in _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_ (1988).
@@Texy88"The Rescuers" was 1977… the same year that I was born and other movies "Star Wars", "Smokey And The Bandit" and many more movies came out as well as the Atari VCS(2600), Apple ][, and others from 1977… even me 😉😉😁😁
7-11 back in the Eighties was a gas station but also like a convenient store or mini-mart that sold slurpies and had arcade games like the shooting game where Marty learned to shoot... This was great, way to go Cristy!
@@rustyshackleford162that’s a stretch. the joke is clearly about marty playing video games at 7-11. especially since the 1800s set up is like a century old version of those.
@rustyshackleford162 This wasn't referring to that. In BTTF2 Marty saw the arcade game he grew up on in the 80's arcade. The future kids called it a babie's game since you had to use your hands to play.
Right as a kid in the 70’s it was the thing to do at the time. Go to your local circle K or 7-11 and play the pinball machine or video game that was inside the store that was a gas station/convenant store. Then in the 80’s at the malls you had the arcades instead.
About the accident he avoided by not responding to Needle calling him "chicken" : 1) That's the accident his mom mentioned in 2015 saying that it caused him a wounded hand so he couldn't play the guitar anymore 2) Needle was the guy who, in 2015, convinced him to do the thing that caused him to be fired. 3) Jennifer brought back a sheet of paper reading you're fired" but once Marty refused to race with Needle in 1985, that sheet became blank, which means Marty is "cured" from tendency to respond to being provoked when someone says he is "chicken". In the end, all those travels through time made him learned not ot respond when being provoked.
He was cured from the tendency to act out of anger. He actually first realized it in 1885 when he decided not to go through with the duel, realizing it wasn’t worth his life. As you said, he was then cured when confronted with Needles. His decision wasn’t hard. He never intended to race. That’s why he told Jennifer to hold on and put his truck in reverse. It was actually easier for him to refuse the race than to refuse the duel.
This trilogy is somewhat special to me. I'm feeling like I would miss much in my life not knowing these movies. How unbelievable it is to see them the first time ever.
37:19 "Your future hasn't been _written,_ yet! _No_ one's has! Your future is whatever you _make_ it! So make it a _good_ one!" And there's the moral. I mean the moral of the _franchise._
Great reaction Cristy like always. This trilogy is the best love every single movie, There are some fun facts about this one. During the scene where Mad Dog Tannen and his cronies are attempting to hang Marty after their disagreement in the saloon, Michael J Fox accidentally got hanged for real for a short time, making him pass out for a few moments. The band ZZ Top were hanging around on the set of the film, and ended up portraying the band at the town party. There were some technical issues whilst filming and, whilst repairs were taking place to get them fixed, ZZ Top took requests from the cast and crew and gave a small concert. Thomas F Wilson, who plays Mad Dog Tannen, did all of his own horse riding and horse stunts during the film. Not only that, but he also lassoed Marty. When Marty arrives back in 1985, the Delorean is quickly destroyed by a freight train. When it came to arranging the scene to be filmed, the producers asked the driver of the freight train whether hitting the car would derail the train, as they didn’t want to cause too much carnage. The driver shrugged it off, saying, ‘I’ve been waiting my whole life to do this. And the set of the Old West Hill Valley was used 4 years earlier for Pale Rider - a western starring none other than Clint Eastwood, which hit cinemas in 1985. Keep up the good work.
About that small concert that ZZ Top was giving, after a little while, someone supposedly asked how the camera repair was coming along. Director Robert Zemeckis said it was repaired a while ago. He just didn't want to spoil the party.😀
Needles' gang is actually composed of one member from each of the Tannen gangs. The guy riding shotgun was in Buford's gang, the guy in yellow in the back was in Griff's gang, and the other guy in the back was in Biff's gang. There was a deleted scene where Buford shoots Marshall Strickland on his way to the shootout with Marty. Strickland dies reminding his son the importance of discipline. That's why the deputy arrests him at the end. It was cut because it was considered too dark and supposedly it led to the audience wanting Buford to be killed (which can't happen).
I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THESE MOVIES!!! Your POG at the awesome TIME TRAIN is so real lol, and I FEEL THE SAME! Great love story for our real hero, Doc, lol. You have so much appreciation of every detail. Sometimes, something is JUST RIGHT!!!
you're right, the three movies are perfectly connected to each other. it's practically a single movie, following the wildest month of Marty McFly's life! or, as others call it - the perfect trilogy!
I remember seeing this in theaters that summer! Back in the 80’s 7-11’s used to have arcade games in their stores… along with an incredible selection of comic books! Thanks for the lovely reaction.
Doc's 1955 dog is named Copernicus, after the astronomer. His reaction to learning his 1985 dog is named Einstein (he scoffs) is because the real Einstein had passed away just months earlier (April 1955) and, at that time, his findings were still quite controversial amongst contemporary scientists (including, apparently, Doc Brown)
The entire trilogy is worth rewatching on your own time, there are so many little things you miss your first time around, partly because of the time travel factor, but also because on your first run you're busy noticing what a good job the filmmakers did.
I love this movie! Each time I watch it I see another tiny detail that shows me what care and quality was put into filming. This time I noticed at the end, as the train flew off, Marty and Jennifer’s hair was blown by the wind as the train turned in lift off. A tiny detail that could have been left out or screwed up but it was done perfectly. A detail I didn’t notice for over 40 years!
Cristy, I read/heard somewhere that at a certain point, for a certain amount of time -- there are 4 Deloreans in existence simultaneously: the first is from the first movie when Marty goes back to 1955 for the first time, the second is when Biff steals the Delorean and goes back to give the book back to himself in 1955, third when Doc and Marty go back to 1955 for the second time (in part II), and lastly when Doc hides it in the mine all that time since 1985.
Its funny that Clara visiting Doc at the garage and covering the time machine , is the opposite from the first one when Lorraine visit Marty at the Garage
I watch 2 and 3 together as one movie. I have watched all three probably 25-30 times this year alone, they aren't only my favorite movies but they are my comfort movies, when i want to sit down and just be happy in a movie. There aren't many things i don't know about these movies, youtube has been a big help with that because of shows like this, thank you for making these cool reviews.
9:03 This is probably the best Easter egg ever. You get caught in the ridiculous outfit, but when Doc asks "Clint who?", Marty points to his left and says Doc hasn't heard of him yet. In shot before you see two posters: one for "Revenge of the Creature" and "Tarantula". Both from 1955, so that's already attention to detail, but both had Eastwood in minor roles, with "Revenge" being his first movie appearance. So the reason Doc doesn't know him is cause the movies had just come out.
So many well placed easter eggs in the movies when Marty does change things and very rewatchable to notice new ones. Marty explained in BTTF2 in cafe 80's that he played the wild gunman game in 7-11 so he "learned to shoot". 1955 is packed with Deloreans from the future and the past all hidden around the town, by Doc, Marty and the one Biff stole.
Well, aside from the fact that BttF is one big heap of logical errors anyways, there can only be a single Delorean left in 1955: The one the Doc hid in the mine in 1885. Why do you think 1955 is packed with them?
@@tubekulose Well at one point there are three, but yes two of them do end up leaving, but on that particular day, at one point there is 3 DeLoreans in the Hill Valley area.
@@ragabashmoon1551Four, actually. 1) The one that Marty came from the future in the first movie; 2) The one that Biff stole; 3) The one that Marty and Doc came from the future in the second movie to stop Biff; 4) The one that Doc stashed in the mine. Chronologically: - No.4 arrives in 1855. It is damaged, and Doc stuffs it in the mine. It then waits until 1955. - No.1 arrives in 1955. - No.2 and No.3 arrive in 1955, probably not long before Biff met his younger self. We don't know which of No.2 and No.3 arrived first, but they probably didn't go much farther into the past. - At this point, ALL four Deloreans are in 1955. - No.2 leaves with Biff, to become No.3 - No.3 is hit by lightning and leaves to the past, where it becomes No.4 - No.1 leaves (remember, Marty witnessed No.3 disappearance, received a letter, read it, run all the way to the city hall, and almost witnessed No.1 leaving) to become No.2. - No.4 leaves to the past with Marty. It will then jump to the future and be destroyed by a train.
Happy birthday, Phoebe! One of my favorite gags in this is the running joke that "history repeats itself." They keep finding themselves in very similar situations, like Clara tracking Doc down like Marty's mom did in the first one, or the manure
when he says 7-11 yes the party store/gas station. if you recallin part 2 in the future. he playes wild gunman. which is similar to this only it is a video game version. he says he was a crack shot at this. but it was commmon in stores in the 80s like that. also, the kid says "you have to use your hands? that is like a baby's toy" here the guy says "son, even a baby could shoot this
I love this trilogy, and I love this closing chapter, there’s some sort of melancholy when you start watching the third movie, and it’s beautiful. Thanks Cristy for sharing your viewing, it’s always nice to share a beloved movie with someone new ❤😊🙏🏽
@@CristyReacts yes, and since nobody can watch movies "for the first time" a second time, watching reactions like this is the next best thing that can happen to us. thanks! ps: you can privately watch these movies a few more times to see all the details that most people miss on first watching, or when not familiar with other movies that are referenced. examples: the number of pines, the name of the ravine (you noticed "Eastwood Ravine", but did you also get the old name (Clara) Clayton Ravine that Doc and Marty used), all the musicians who wrote songs or had cameos or were mentioned (phone call to his cousin? during the dance), or Clint Eastwood's "Dollar Trilogy" ... i also won't consider it cheating if you first look up a list of all those details and references on the internet (eg wikipedia and imdb) :-)
Clara Clayton was played by Mary Steenbergen, who fell in love with another time traveler in 1979's "Time After Time." For real, too. She married her co-star, Malcolm McDowell. And yes, that is a movie recommendation.
It's clever how they _sort of_ used the same plot as Part I, but this time it was about fulfilling a different criteria for time travel. Powering the flux capacitor in Part 1, and reaching the required speed in Part 3. Also, on its final ride, the DeLorean now has parts from all of the periods it visits in the trilogy! The bodywork from 1985; the Mister Fusion system from 2015 or beyond; the replacement circuitry installed by younger Doc from 1955; and the flanged railroad wheels from 1885. Very fitting!
Michael J. Fox came close to genuinely being hanged in the hanging scene. He did lose consciousness but the close-up shots of him struggling were genuine reactions to his situation (only in the long shots of this scene was Michael doubled, since it was far enough away for people to not see the character’s face clearly enough to notice that it was a stunt double).
I've always wondered if that incident contributed to him getting Parkinson a year or two after that. I don't have sufficient medical knowledge to know if that is even a possibility, but I've always been deeply troubled that it may have led to his condition. So very sad. 😢
Clara’s my favorite character in this trilogy! I first watched this trilogy when I was in high school and the Christmas after was when Elf came out and Mary Steenburgen was in it and I couldn’t help but see Clara!😍🤩
Mary Steenburgen (Clara) married her Time After Time co-star Malcolm McDowell (they have two children). After a divorce, she married actor Ted Danson (Cheers). They're still together.
Something that really goes unnoticed is that there was a foreshadowing of the standoff in BTTF part 2, Biff is the jacuzzi with the two girls and they are watching a western with Clint Eastwood and in the scene he is wearing the door of the stove as a bulletproof vest, thus, that's were Marty gets the idea since he had the remote that shutdown the tv that had the movie on
A few awesome details in BTTF 2 that setup plot points in BTTF 3: 1. The cafe scene in 2015 where Marty teaches the kids how to shoot on the arcade game explains why he says he learned to shoot at 7-Eleven in 1885 2. In the alternate 1985, Marty walks in on Biff watching a Clint Eastwood movie where he uses a steel plate as a bulletproof vest. That's how Marty gets the idea to do it in 1885.
27:15 , IMO, because the 1st time through 1885, Doc met Clara at the station and IMO caused a "Final Destination" type scenario, he prevented a death, so Death came for him. Marty came back, stooped him from meeting Clara at the station, but they saved her regardless which put a target on Marty's back. And if Doc and Clara were to interfere TOO much, which is impossible. For ex. as a blacksmith, he could sell a perfectly made axel for a coach, but that coach is supposed to break it's axel, making the people in it late to... let's say a place where an accident happens, like mass casualties, but because of the good axel made by Doc, they arrive on time and wind up getting killed, when they were SUPPOSED to live. just as an ex. backwards time travel would be dangerous AF.
I can imagine various parodies for this lol. Back to the Future, a tale of a clock tower lol. The story of a teenager who gets clockblocked and goes on a rampage through time. Something great about these movies is that every time you watch them, you'll notice more little details.
Doc doesn't "look the same in every timeline." In Part 1 they put Christopher Lloyd prosthetics in 1985 to make him look 30 years older, but it was somewhat subtle, but still definitely make-up intended to make him look older. Now, as others have no doubt mentioned, they never intended for there to be a part II or part III or they might have approached some things in part I differently, including maybe Doc's make-up, but that's probably for the best. That said, they didn't want to have to put Christopher Lloyd in prosthetics in virtually every scene for the sequels, just to make him look 30 years older; which is why in Part II they had that scene early on of him removing the prosthetics and saying he went to a rejuvenation clinic, which added "30-40 years" to his life - effectively making him 30-40 years younger moving forward. It's actually a fairly clever bit of them reconciling the fact that they clearly had Chris in the older make-up at the end of part I and wanted to maintain that continuity, but still get rid of it pretty much immediately.
Doc was so concerned with not disrupting the space time continuum that he did it un-knowingly.. according to the film Clara should have died in the wagon BUT, Doc was to pick her up at the train station so she would have never died thus the ravine would have never been named after her. Also if you look back at the video at 19:13 you can see Clara waiting for Doc, right behind Marty.
Henry Wells and William G. Fargo, who founded American Express along with John Butterfield, formed Wells Fargo & Company in 1852 to provide "express" and banking services to California, which was growing rapidly due to the California Gold Rush.
BTTF is the trilogy of my life. I grew up in the 80's. My heart fills with joy when I see the people of the 90's and 2000's watching and reacting this trilogy with so much respect and appreciation. Congrats, Christy! I loved to see your laughs and emotion. Best regards from Brazil.
Some funny cameos: The photographer at 21:57 is Dean Cundy, the actual cinematographer of the movie (and a Hollywood legend). The three member band playing at the festival is... ZZTop, the rock band that actually plays the theme song, "Double Back" for the movie. They even play a folksy version of it at the festival. 22:44 This scene is a call-back from the scene in the previous movie where Marty plays the "Wild Gunman" video game at the "Cafe 80s" and is an expert at it. One of the little kids there, by the way, is Elijah Wood in one of his first movie roles. He went on to play Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings" movies. When the guy asks Marty where he learned to shoot like that, Marty says "7/11" because many 7/11 convenience stores had video games in the corner that kids would play after school, at least back when this movie came out. (In other countries where 7/11 is not well known they had to change this to something else that the people would understand). An interesting thing to think about here is that when Marty and Buford are about to fight in the street, Marty _could_ have actually fought him and potentially beat him. After all, they had already established that Marty was quite a good shooter. But the fact that he didn't shows us that he had finally learned his lesson about being called a coward. The stove-door body shield was a call back to the scene in the previous movie where rich Biff is watching the old Clint Eastwood movie wherein Clint uses a stove door as a similar body shield. Marty saw it too because he was there, and he remembered it when the stove door fell off when he fell into it. The BTTF series is chock full of call backs and repeats on themes. They really stand out more on second and third viewings.
I loved that BTTF ride at Universal. Bet it never occurred to you that in the "future" you would be you would be reacting to BTTF on your own TH-cam channel.😉 This movie in 3 parts is special to so many people, the next best thing to watching it for the first time is seeing someone appreciate it as much as you did. (It was written all over your face.) Thanks.🤠
Later in the comics they explain more about Doug Needles. He was Marty's friend but as they got older Doug started bullying Marty. He needed a tube for his guitar amp and dared Marty to steal one from "that crazy scientist." Doc caught Marty but hired him to do shopping for parts doc needed for experiments.
I'm so happy to watch your final reaction to this wonderful trilogy! This is definitely the perfect trilogy aside from Star Wars! Nothing beats Star Wars but this comes in right behind it. I would even argue that they're just as good as each other. And the reason why he was so good at shooting was because he used to play that game I think it's called Gung Slinger or something like that that's the 7 eleven all the time like he was playing it in part two and the kids were like you have to use your hands that's like a baby's toy. Anyway as I absolutely love finding your channel and can't wait to watch more stuff with you soon!
My favourite trilogy. I first watched these on VHS as a kid in the early 90s and I was hooked immediately. So glad you enjoyed them and even caught some of the many Easter egg moments.
And a 2011 Telltale video game called Back To The Future: The Game (which kind of acts as a part IV storyline & features all the original actors voices as their characters - Michael J. Fox as Marty, Christopher Lloyd as Doc, Mary Steenburgen as Clara & even Thomas F. Wilson as Biff and his other ancestors). It is a very fun & underrated video game. 😁🎮
@@DeanStrickson Claudia Wells also voiced Jennnifer in the "Citizen Brown" segment. And in the remastered version they got Thomas Wilson back to voice Biff.
Loving your reactions. Best trilogy ever, and I grew up on the original 1977/80/83 Star Wars. The band playing at the festival is none other than legendary Texas band ZZ Top.
Fun Fact : While filming the band part of the festival there was an issue with a camera or something so while they waited ZZ Top played music for everyone. It was so fun, in fact, that the camera had been fixed for some amount of time before they resumed filming.
Fun fact: The $80 Biff wanted from the Doc in 1885 is equivalent to approx $2,538 in 2023. That's crazy. Clara didn't actually belong in 1885 as she would have originally died. So it would have been fine to take her to 1985. My only issue/question with this movie is. We know Doc couldn't make gasoline in 1885. So how did he turn a training into a even more futuristic flying time machine? Also why build another time machine if the plan was to destroy the delorean? That makes no sense, but I still love the movie.
Happy Birthday Phoebe (I hope I spelled it right)🎂🐶 I'm so glad you had a blast with this trilogy, it is one of my favorites! I hope you will dive into the Lord of the Rings trilogy soon!! 🥰🥰
A nice little Easter egg or attention to detail I guess, is at 19:14 when Doc is showing Marty the future path of the train track over the ravine. If you look behind Marty when the camera turns around you can see Clara in the background waiting for Doc to pick her up. [edit: It's blocked by your face insert here, but you can see it in the movie itself]
You are quite a delightful person to share this great conclusion to the ' Back To The Future ' trilogy . Quite enjoyed it , though I've seen this movie many times before ! There are 'some' parallels to the movie 'High Noon' ( which I highly recommend you see ! )
The studio built a town set for 1885 north of Keystone, CA for the town scenes. The finale train scene when Marty goes back to 1985 was shot at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in Jamestown, CA. The backlot of the park and around the roundhouse and station has been used since 1919 for train sequences in many movies and in western TV shows. TVs "Petticoat Junction", "Tales of Wells Fargo, the original "Wild, wild West" with Robert Conrad and "The Shadow Riders" with Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck are just a few filmed there. The studio donated three special effects smokestacks to the park depicting certain stages of the train & car sequences. A really cool place if you like old trains and cinema western history.💛😁💛
The manure company was A. Jones Manure. In young Hill Valley, the A. Jones Manure Company was just getting started so all they had was a manure cart. Decades later the A. Jones Manure Company had manure trucks. It took me several viewings to catch that. There is a reason for every thing you see in these movies. They are excellent.
Yes best trilogy ever. I would say the first 3 Indiana Jones movies come in a close second. Actually there were no sequels planned. At the end of the first BTTF movie, they fly off in the car and that was supposed to be it. The movie was such a huge success they ended up filming the other 2 as well. This is why Jennifer is not seen that much in BTTF2, they didn’t plan on her being there but since she was in the car they had to figure out what to do with her character.
It's crazy how these are mostly the same actors but they play wildly different characters, especially Biff played by Thomas Wilson going from Mad Dog in 1885 to puppy dog in 1985 😂
9:04 We got an easter Egg here. Marty refers to Clint Eastwood, but Doc doesn't know who he is. Actually, the movie features in the theaters Revenge of the creature (Poster on the wall) is the very first movie where Clint Eastwood appeared.
But Eastwood didn't become well known until Rawhide, which premiered in January of 1959 and ran until 1965. Rowdy Yates. It was shortly after that when he did the first "spaghetti" western Fistful of Dollars.
There's a point-and-click video Back to the Future video game that was released in 2010, the story picks up where part 3 left off, and the game has a long two-part story that essentially makes up part 4 and 5 of the saga. There are videos on TH-cam that contain just the cutscenes in case you wanted to update your knowledge of their shenanigans without having to play hours and hours of a game on a system you don't have.
Killed me when Marty gave the guns away in the end. He could have gotten a ton of money for those in the future. Also, Marty gets knocked out in every movie. 1st Hit by the car 2nd Hit in the face with the door as the other him came running out of the gym. 3rd. Here, it’s the fence.
Marty looking exactly like his paternal great great grandfather makes total sense, however, what doesn't make sense is that his paternal great great grandmother looks exactly like his mother. I mean, think about it.
Another awesome reaction! I like when educated people watch movies and catch things and understand, or at least get the fact that the writers connect things in multiple movies. You would be surprised at the number of people that are completely confused at the end of BTTF 3. Cheers!
You might recall (or you might not...lol) a scene in Part II when there was a Clint Eastwood movie on the television and the scene that was playing had Clint using the same metal stove door trick that Marty ended up using against Buford. Lots of details in these movies - repeat viewings usually pay off in that it's not merely fun (it IS!) but you'll also find these little Easter eggs all over the place.
Another great reaction! Something I've never thought about until just now is that when Marty comes back in the beginning of this movie and Doc passes out so Marty takes him home, that Doc never gets the letter Marty wrote him out of the trash can. Does that mean the Doc in this timeline dies n 1985? Something to think about! I love time travel stories and one of my favorite shows of the past few years was Timeless on NBC. It only lasted a season and a half but I thought it was great. I've never seen anyone else react to it but if you love Back To The Future I'm sure you would love Timeless!
I just watched your reaction to part 3 - thank you! It was a great reaction! I told you this wraps up only if you watch the whole trilogy … now you understood why this is “THE TRILOGY”. I apologize again for being so late on your reactions to part 2 and part 3. Since you always mention at the beginning in your intro about suggestions, I remembered how much you resemble Laurel from “The Langoliers”, so I suggest you watch that one too. Take care and stay safe. Salutations from Romania …
I love this trilogy, it’s near perfect there is only one plot hole. When old biff gives his younger self the Almanac and comes back he would have went to an alternate 2015 not the same one he left.
We need Cristy to write the script, direct and star in Back to the Future Part IV! Seriously! I don't care who else is in the movie as long as they are all excellent actors. It will be great, guaranteed!
Biff Tannen ... Thomas Wilson, who played "Biff" and his relatives, is actually known to be one of the nicest and funniest guys. He took inspiration for the part from his own personal experiences being bullied as a kid. He's also a comedian and has done voice over work for video games and TV, but probably best known as a few characters he voices for on SpongeBob SquarePants.
It was a lot of fun traveling through time with you, Cristy. I'm looking forward to the next adventure. Please deliver the following message to Phoebe: Who's a good girl? Hm? Who's a good girl? _You're_ a good girl. Yes, you are. You're such a good girl. And it's your Birthday! Happy Birthday, good girl. You want to go for a walkie?
23:00 Marty learned to shoot from playing the arcade game "WildWild Gunman" in a 7-Eleven. This was briefly foreshadowed in the second movie, when he was in the future visiting "The Cafe 80's". He was showing kids in the future how to play the game and got a "crackshot" rating, but they compared it to "a baby's toy" because you had to use your hands.
34:47 "'Eastwood _Raviiiiine!'"_ As I understand it, they interviewed Clint Eastwood after he had seen this about _his_ assessment and he said that he didn't think he could assess it fairly. He was just _too_ charmed with the ubiquitous homages.
I really enjoyed watching your reaction to the whole trilogy. Loved how emotionally invested you were for all 3. Even though I've seen the trilogy many times, it made me enjoy it again on a different level.
Marty being good at the gun slinging video game is set up in part 2 (that's what he was referring to as "7/11"), as is "Clint" using chest armor plating.
Fun Easter egg @ 9:02 - Those 2 movie posters were for the first 2 movies Clint Eastwood was ever in. Small roles. Both came out in 1955. "Revenge of the Creature" (sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon) and "Tarantula". Marty stands there and says "Clint Eastwood would never wear anything like this", even though '55 Doc wouldn't know who that is yet.
12:51 Here, they round out the experience. In the _first_ one, we saw what home cooking looked like in 1985, and then in 1955. In part II, we saw a prediction of what it would _probably_ look like in 2015. Now, here, we're seeing what it looked like in _1885._
14:02 Wells Fargo was founded in 1852 - pretty young for a bank. Many were founded in the 17th and 18th centuries. Lloyds (1765), Barclays (1690), for example. There are a few older still.
Convenience stores like 7-11 used to have 1 or 2 arcade games in the 80s/90s. When Marty mentions learning to shoot in 7-11, it's a reference to light gun games of the era, specifically, the version of Wild Gunman shown in BTTF 2.
The band playing at the dance celebrating the clock tower is ZZ top. And they're playing a country version of their song Doubleback, which they wrote for this movie.
In alternate 1985 in the second movie, Biff watches a movie, A Fist Full of Dollars, where Clint Eastwood uses the same bulletproof vest trick.
This film was playing in the background of Biff's office/penthouse when Marty confronted him in BttF2.
Also there’s that Tannen museum showing Mad Dog Tannen!
the "Dollar Trilogy" would be another suggestion for some reaction videos !
(although quite different from some funny scifi movie, it is an important classic trilogy)
Also the scene where Doc shoots the rope when Marty is being hanged by Mad Dog is a homage to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, where Clint Eastwood's character shoots a rope that is hanging a man.
@@mikemackay5271 Because of a support mishap, Michael J. Fox was actually strangling from that rope around his neck and nearly passed out. His distress in that scene was real; not just good acting.
My favorite fun fact: President Reagan is referenced in the first movie (“Ronald Reagan? The ACTOR?!?”), and when BTTF was screened for Reagan at Camp David, he enjoyed it so much he had the projectionist rewind the film and show the scene again. In the second movie, a digitized version of Reagan was the host at the Cafe 80’s. For the third movie, the producers asked Reagan if he would consider coming out of (film) retirement to play the 1885 Hill Valley mayor! Reagan reportedly gave it serious consideration, but ultimately declined.
Reagan was in mental decline in his final year in office ... who knows if he was in any condition to play a speaking role a couple of years later ...
@@secularmonk5176 That actually is the main factor in his decision to decline. Even so, shooting of BTTF3 concluded about a year after Reagan left office, so he wasn’t too far gone at the time the offer was made.
@@secularmonk5176He spoke at the 1992 Republican convention and looked fine. He looked lost two years later, at Nixon's funeral.
Would have been sooo cool, but I understand why he didn't go for it.
@@secularmonk5176role*
This particular movie has the most believably played-out "love at first sight" situation I've ever seen! And I love how Clara is unstuck in time, so it makes perfect sense for her to travel with Doc. 'Cause if their original plan had gone through, leaving her as an intelligent, attractive, personable young woman in 1885...who KNOWS how the world could have been changed from the original timeline where she'd died in the ravine?
What if building a train time machine was her idea!
Yeah, they tied up loose ends really well.
When Marty sees the pie plate that says frisbie that's actually accurate. Frisbee originally started off as a pie plate company called Frisbie in 1871. People started throwing them around and a new toy was born and renamed Frisbee. And yes Cristy Wells Fargo has been around since 1852.
There even is a Western TV series called Tales of Wells Fargo (1957-1962) starring Dale Robertson as a Wells Fargo agent in the Old West.
This movie was okay
Oh another TH-cam expert sharing knowledge that no one cares about
Oh whaaaat??? That's super interesting!! no wonder why I didn't understand that comment lol
@@CristyReacts The founders of the original company were Henry Wells (1805-78) and William George Fargo (1818-81), who had earlier helped establish the American Express Company. They and other investors established Wells, Fargo & Company in March 1852 to handle the banking and express business prompted by the California Gold Rush.
The Express co. was the cross-country shipping method of its time.
13:16 - BOWLER HATS. Despite what you may see in old Western movies, American cowboys and railroad workers preferred the bowler hat to the traditional cowboy hat because it wouldn't blow off easily in a strong wind. The Bowler hat became extremely popular in the American West, prompting Lucius Beebe to call it "the hat that won the West".
Lucius Morris Beebe (9 December 1902 - 4 February 1966) was an American writer, gourmand, photographer, railroad historian, journalist, and syndicated columnist.
"Is this a holdup?
It's a science experiment!"
One of my favorite lines of all time.
5:26 _"Amazing!_ I actually end up... as a _blacksmith_ in the _Old West."_
Yeah. And it seems like a pretty good set up, too. _Everyone_ in the Old West needed a blacksmith.
In 1976, Matt Clark played Kelly the bartender in The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), serving Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood). Here, Clark plays Chester the bartender serving Marty McFly as "Clint Eastwood."
The great character actor Pat Buttram at 28:47. He was Gene Autry's sidekick on one of the first TV Western series, The Gene Autry Show. But he's best known as Mr. Haney on TV's Green Acres. In BTTF 3 he's joined by barmates Harry Carey Jr. (The Searchers) and Dub Taylor (The Wild Bunch), both veterans of Western films.
Pat Buttram also voiced some characters in Disney films, such as the Sheriff of Nottingham in _Robin Hood_ (1973), Luke in _The Rescuers_ (1978) and Chief in _The Fox and the Hound_ (1981). He also voiced the Toon bullets in _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_ (1988).
@@Texy88"The Rescuers" was 1977… the same year that I was born and other movies "Star Wars", "Smokey And The Bandit" and many more movies came out as well as the Atari VCS(2600), Apple ][, and others from 1977… even me 😉😉😁😁
I liked how Doc dressed Marty in a 1955 cowboy outfit that singing cowboy entertainers like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry wore at that time.
7-11 back in the Eighties was a gas station but also like a convenient store or mini-mart that sold slurpies and had arcade games like the shooting game where Marty learned to shoot... This was great, way to go Cristy!
Also, there were a lot of news reports at the time about 7-11's being robbed, adding another layer of meaning.
@@rustyshackleford162that’s a stretch. the joke is clearly about marty playing video games at 7-11. especially since the 1800s set up is like a century old version of those.
@rustyshackleford162
This wasn't referring to that. In BTTF2 Marty saw the arcade game he grew up on in the 80's arcade. The future kids called it a babie's game since you had to use your hands to play.
Right as a kid in the 70’s it was the thing to do at the time. Go to your local circle K or 7-11 and play the pinball machine or video game that was inside the store that was a gas station/convenant store. Then in the 80’s at the malls you had the arcades instead.
@@rare_wulf9358 For me and my best friend, it was Asteroids. The machines were everywhere, including one at a local mini-mart.
It's probably my favorite trilogy...more than Star Wars. The complete story of Doc is the best.
It's untouched, and that's a BIG deal, especially now. Doc gave and gave to everyone else, so it's awesome to see him finally get his own happiness.
About the accident he avoided by not responding to Needle calling him "chicken" :
1) That's the accident his mom mentioned in 2015 saying that it caused him a wounded hand so he couldn't play the guitar anymore
2) Needle was the guy who, in 2015, convinced him to do the thing that caused him to be fired.
3) Jennifer brought back a sheet of paper reading you're fired" but once Marty refused to race with Needle in 1985, that sheet became blank, which means Marty is "cured" from tendency to respond to being provoked when someone says he is "chicken". In the end, all those travels through time made him learned not ot respond when being provoked.
He was cured from the tendency to act out of anger. He actually first realized it in 1885 when he decided not to go through with the duel, realizing it wasn’t worth his life. As you said, he was then cured when confronted with Needles. His decision wasn’t hard. He never intended to race. That’s why he told Jennifer to hold on and put his truck in reverse. It was actually easier for him to refuse the race than to refuse the duel.
Let's not ignore the fact that Needles was played by Flea, of The Red Hot Chili Peppers!
This trilogy is somewhat special to me. I'm feeling like I would miss much in my life not knowing these movies. How unbelievable it is to see them the first time ever.
It truly was! And I didn't believe it until I saw it myself. I'm so happy I watched them:)
Another funny piece of fashion style in this movie is the decoration of Marty's "cowboy" shirt - they are nuclear power symbols!
It was the atomic age! Very cool 50s fashion.
37:19 "Your future hasn't been _written,_ yet! _No_ one's has! Your future is whatever you _make_ it! So make it a _good_ one!"
And there's the moral. I mean the moral of the _franchise._
Great reaction Cristy like always. This trilogy is the best love every single movie, There are some fun facts about this one. During the scene where Mad Dog Tannen and his cronies are attempting to hang Marty after their disagreement in the saloon, Michael J Fox accidentally got hanged for real for a short time, making him pass out for a few moments. The band ZZ Top were hanging around on the set of the film, and ended up portraying the band at the town party. There were some technical issues whilst filming and, whilst repairs were taking place to get them fixed, ZZ Top took requests from the cast and crew and gave a small concert. Thomas F Wilson, who plays Mad Dog Tannen, did all of his own horse riding and horse stunts during the film. Not only that, but he also lassoed Marty. When Marty arrives back in 1985, the Delorean is quickly destroyed by a freight train. When it came to arranging the scene to be filmed, the producers asked the driver of the freight train whether hitting the car would derail the train, as they didn’t want to cause too much carnage. The driver shrugged it off, saying, ‘I’ve been waiting my whole life to do this. And the set of the Old West Hill Valley was used 4 years earlier for Pale Rider - a western starring none other than Clint Eastwood, which hit cinemas in 1985. Keep up the good work.
About that small concert that ZZ Top was giving, after a little while, someone supposedly asked how the camera repair was coming along. Director Robert Zemeckis said it was repaired a while ago. He just didn't want to spoil the party.😀
Needles' gang is actually composed of one member from each of the Tannen gangs. The guy riding shotgun was in Buford's gang, the guy in yellow in the back was in Griff's gang, and the other guy in the back was in Biff's gang.
There was a deleted scene where Buford shoots Marshall Strickland on his way to the shootout with Marty. Strickland dies reminding his son the importance of discipline. That's why the deputy arrests him at the end. It was cut because it was considered too dark and supposedly it led to the audience wanting Buford to be killed (which can't happen).
I LOVE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THESE MOVIES!!! Your POG at the awesome TIME TRAIN is so real lol, and I FEEL THE SAME! Great love story for our real hero, Doc, lol. You have so much appreciation of every detail. Sometimes, something is JUST RIGHT!!!
Thank you!!! Definitely loved this amazing trilogy. 🤩🤩🤩
you're right, the three movies are perfectly connected to each other. it's practically a single movie, following the wildest month of Marty McFly's life! or, as others call it - the perfect trilogy!
Quite an achievement, especially since originally there were no plans for a sequel.
“I thought he was getting a cowboy hat.”
Actually, the Bowler was a more common hat for cowboys than a Stetson. :-)
Oh cool! I had no idea haha, always thought of the cowboy hat to have a wide brims!
Good comment. Wanted to see if anyone wrote this before I did.
When Marty said 7 Eleven, he means, there was a Arcade Machine with a shooting game :-)
there wasn’t yet but there was later!
I remember seeing this in theaters that summer!
Back in the 80’s 7-11’s used to have arcade games in their stores… along with an incredible selection of comic books!
Thanks for the lovely reaction.
I miss spinner racks.
And there were games like duck hunt in those games... I feel like there was an old west one too
Marty literally plays Duck Hunt in the 80s cafe in BTTF II. One of the young boys watching is Elijah Wood.
In the 90s, we used to try to collect quarters and walk to 7-11 just to play Street Fighter. Good times.
Doc's 1955 dog is named Copernicus, after the astronomer. His reaction to learning his 1985 dog is named Einstein (he scoffs) is because the real Einstein had passed away just months earlier (April 1955) and, at that time, his findings were still quite controversial amongst contemporary scientists (including, apparently, Doc Brown)
Thanks for the explanation!
The entire trilogy is worth rewatching on your own time, there are so many little things you miss your first time around, partly because of the time travel factor, but also because on your first run you're busy noticing what a good job the filmmakers did.
I saw all 3 in the theatre and have watch them so many times over the years I can't watch them anymore, just watch other people watch them.
I love this movie! Each time I watch it I see another tiny detail that shows me what care and quality was put into filming. This time I noticed at the end, as the train flew off, Marty and Jennifer’s hair was blown by the wind as the train turned in lift off. A tiny detail that could have been left out or screwed up but it was done perfectly. A detail I didn’t notice for over 40 years!
Always gives me the warm/fuzzies to welcome another "friend in time." Lovely reaction!
Aw thank you!!
Cristy, I read/heard somewhere that at a certain point, for a certain amount of time -- there are 4 Deloreans in existence simultaneously: the first is from the first movie when Marty goes back to 1955 for the first time, the second is when Biff steals the Delorean and goes back to give the book back to himself in 1955, third when Doc and Marty go back to 1955 for the second time (in part II), and lastly when Doc hides it in the mine all that time since 1985.
Right!
Oh yeah this makes sense!!
Its funny that Clara visiting Doc at the garage and covering the time machine , is the opposite from the first one when Lorraine visit Marty at the Garage
I watch 2 and 3 together as one movie. I have watched all three probably 25-30 times this year alone, they aren't only my favorite movies but they are my comfort movies, when i want to sit down and just be happy in a movie. There aren't many things i don't know about these movies, youtube has been a big help with that because of shows like this, thank you for making these cool reviews.
9:03 This is probably the best Easter egg ever. You get caught in the ridiculous outfit, but when Doc asks "Clint who?", Marty points to his left and says Doc hasn't heard of him yet. In shot before you see two posters: one for "Revenge of the Creature" and "Tarantula". Both from 1955, so that's already attention to detail, but both had Eastwood in minor roles, with "Revenge" being his first movie appearance. So the reason Doc doesn't know him is cause the movies had just come out.
jeez lol I didn't know those movie posters meant that.
@@SamBorgman Yeah, that's what it's great - it's subtle. Even after ten rewatches you'd likely miss it if you don't know Eastwood before his westerns.
So many well placed easter eggs in the movies when Marty does change things and very rewatchable to notice new ones. Marty explained in BTTF2 in cafe 80's that he played the wild gunman game in 7-11 so he "learned to shoot". 1955 is packed with Deloreans from the future and the past all hidden around the town, by Doc, Marty and the one Biff stole.
Well, aside from the fact that BttF is one big heap of logical errors anyways, there can only be a single Delorean left in 1955: The one the Doc hid in the mine in 1885.
Why do you think 1955 is packed with them?
@@tubekulose Well at one point there are three, but yes two of them do end up leaving, but on that particular day, at one point there is 3 DeLoreans in the Hill Valley area.
@@ragabashmoon1551 Yes, that's absolutely true. 🙂👍
@@ragabashmoon1551Four, actually.
1) The one that Marty came from the future in the first movie;
2) The one that Biff stole;
3) The one that Marty and Doc came from the future in the second movie to stop Biff;
4) The one that Doc stashed in the mine.
Chronologically:
- No.4 arrives in 1855. It is damaged, and Doc stuffs it in the mine. It then waits until 1955.
- No.1 arrives in 1955.
- No.2 and No.3 arrive in 1955, probably not long before Biff met his younger self. We don't know which of No.2 and No.3 arrived first, but they probably didn't go much farther into the past.
- At this point, ALL four Deloreans are in 1955.
- No.2 leaves with Biff, to become No.3
- No.3 is hit by lightning and leaves to the past, where it becomes No.4
- No.1 leaves (remember, Marty witnessed No.3 disappearance, received a letter, read it, run all the way to the city hall, and almost witnessed No.1 leaving) to become No.2.
- No.4 leaves to the past with Marty. It will then jump to the future and be destroyed by a train.
@@migmit Oh damn yo are right.
Happy birthday, Phoebe! One of my favorite gags in this is the running joke that "history repeats itself." They keep finding themselves in very similar situations, like Clara tracking Doc down like Marty's mom did in the first one, or the manure
when he says 7-11 yes the party store/gas station. if you recallin part 2 in the future. he playes wild gunman. which is similar to this only it is a video game version. he says he was a crack shot at this. but it was commmon in stores in the 80s like that. also, the kid says "you have to use your hands? that is like a baby's toy" here the guy says "son, even a baby could shoot this
Party store?
It's a convenience store.
I love this trilogy, and I love this closing chapter, there’s some sort of melancholy when you start watching the third movie, and it’s beautiful. Thanks Cristy for sharing your viewing, it’s always nice to share a beloved movie with someone new ❤😊🙏🏽
Thank YOU for watching with me!! It's been a beautiful, wild journey!
@@CristyReacts yes, and since nobody can watch movies "for the first time" a second time, watching reactions like this is the next best thing that can happen to us. thanks!
ps: you can privately watch these movies a few more times to see all the details that most people miss on first watching, or when not familiar with other movies that are referenced. examples: the number of pines, the name of the ravine (you noticed "Eastwood Ravine", but did you also get the old name (Clara) Clayton Ravine that Doc and Marty used), all the musicians who wrote songs or had cameos or were mentioned (phone call to his cousin? during the dance), or Clint Eastwood's "Dollar Trilogy" ... i also won't consider it cheating if you first look up a list of all those details and references on the internet (eg wikipedia and imdb) :-)
Clara Clayton was played by Mary Steenbergen, who fell in love with another time traveler in 1979's "Time After Time." For real, too. She married her co-star, Malcolm McDowell.
And yes, that is a movie recommendation.
It's clever how they _sort of_ used the same plot as Part I, but this time it was about fulfilling a different criteria for time travel. Powering the flux capacitor in Part 1, and reaching the required speed in Part 3.
Also, on its final ride, the DeLorean now has parts from all of the periods it visits in the trilogy! The bodywork from 1985; the Mister Fusion system from 2015 or beyond; the replacement circuitry installed by younger Doc from 1955; and the flanged railroad wheels from 1885. Very fitting!
Michael J. Fox came close to genuinely being hanged in the hanging scene. He did lose consciousness but the close-up shots of him struggling were genuine reactions to his situation (only in the long shots of this scene was Michael doubled, since it was far enough away for people to not see the character’s face clearly enough to notice that it was a stunt double).
Yeah it looked dangerous!! I was a little shocked haha
I've always wondered if that incident contributed to him getting Parkinson a year or two after that. I don't have sufficient medical knowledge to know if that is even a possibility, but I've always been deeply troubled that it may have led to his condition. So very sad. 😢
Clara’s my favorite character in this trilogy! I first watched this trilogy when I was in high school and the Christmas after was when Elf came out and Mary Steenburgen was in it and I couldn’t help but see Clara!😍🤩
Mary Steenburgen (Clara) married her Time After Time co-star Malcolm McDowell (they have two children). After a divorce, she married actor Ted Danson (Cheers). They're still together.
Something that really goes unnoticed is that there was a foreshadowing of the standoff in BTTF part 2, Biff is the jacuzzi with the two girls and they are watching a western with Clint Eastwood and in the scene he is wearing the door of the stove as a bulletproof vest, thus, that's were Marty gets the idea since he had the remote that shutdown the tv that had the movie on
yes, famous "Dollar Trilogy" with Clint Eastwood.
just another suggestion for reactions ...
... who doesn`t notice that ...?
A few awesome details in BTTF 2 that setup plot points in BTTF 3:
1. The cafe scene in 2015 where Marty teaches the kids how to shoot on the arcade game explains why he says he learned to shoot at 7-Eleven in 1885
2. In the alternate 1985, Marty walks in on Biff watching a Clint Eastwood movie where he uses a steel plate as a bulletproof vest. That's how Marty gets the idea to do it in 1885.
I'm hindsight, it's kind of astonishing how many times the bartender saved them.
27:15 , IMO, because the 1st time through 1885, Doc met Clara at the station and IMO caused a "Final Destination" type scenario, he prevented a death, so Death came for him. Marty came back, stooped him from meeting Clara at the station, but they saved her regardless which put a target on Marty's back. And if Doc and Clara were to interfere TOO much, which is impossible. For ex. as a blacksmith, he could sell a perfectly made axel for a coach, but that coach is supposed to break it's axel, making the people in it late to... let's say a place where an accident happens, like mass casualties, but because of the good axel made by Doc, they arrive on time and wind up getting killed, when they were SUPPOSED to live. just as an ex. backwards time travel would be dangerous AF.
I can imagine various parodies for this lol. Back to the Future, a tale of a clock tower lol. The story of a teenager who gets clockblocked and goes on a rampage through time. Something great about these movies is that every time you watch them, you'll notice more little details.
Doc doesn't "look the same in every timeline." In Part 1 they put Christopher Lloyd prosthetics in 1985 to make him look 30 years older, but it was somewhat subtle, but still definitely make-up intended to make him look older. Now, as others have no doubt mentioned, they never intended for there to be a part II or part III or they might have approached some things in part I differently, including maybe Doc's make-up, but that's probably for the best.
That said, they didn't want to have to put Christopher Lloyd in prosthetics in virtually every scene for the sequels, just to make him look 30 years older; which is why in Part II they had that scene early on of him removing the prosthetics and saying he went to a rejuvenation clinic, which added "30-40 years" to his life - effectively making him 30-40 years younger moving forward.
It's actually a fairly clever bit of them reconciling the fact that they clearly had Chris in the older make-up at the end of part I and wanted to maintain that continuity, but still get rid of it pretty much immediately.
Well it was definitely subtle. I also thought he looked pretty much the same
Doc was so concerned with not disrupting the space time continuum that he did it un-knowingly.. according to the film Clara should have died in the wagon BUT, Doc was to pick her up at the train station so she would have never died thus the ravine would have never been named after her.
Also if you look back at the video at 19:13 you can see Clara waiting for Doc, right behind Marty.
Henry Wells and William G. Fargo, who founded American Express along with John Butterfield, formed Wells Fargo & Company in 1852 to provide "express" and banking services to California, which was growing rapidly due to the California Gold Rush.
oh interesting!! you have the best facts
BTTF is the trilogy of my life. I grew up in the 80's. My heart fills with joy when I see the people of the 90's and 2000's watching and reacting this trilogy with so much respect and appreciation. Congrats, Christy! I loved to see your laughs and emotion. Best regards from Brazil.
Some funny cameos: The photographer at 21:57 is Dean Cundy, the actual cinematographer of the movie (and a Hollywood legend). The three member band playing at the festival is... ZZTop, the rock band that actually plays the theme song, "Double Back" for the movie. They even play a folksy version of it at the festival.
22:44 This scene is a call-back from the scene in the previous movie where Marty plays the "Wild Gunman" video game at the "Cafe 80s" and is an expert at it. One of the little kids there, by the way, is Elijah Wood in one of his first movie roles. He went on to play Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings" movies. When the guy asks Marty where he learned to shoot like that, Marty says "7/11" because many 7/11 convenience stores had video games in the corner that kids would play after school, at least back when this movie came out. (In other countries where 7/11 is not well known they had to change this to something else that the people would understand). An interesting thing to think about here is that when Marty and Buford are about to fight in the street, Marty _could_ have actually fought him and potentially beat him. After all, they had already established that Marty was quite a good shooter. But the fact that he didn't shows us that he had finally learned his lesson about being called a coward. The stove-door body shield was a call back to the scene in the previous movie where rich Biff is watching the old Clint Eastwood movie wherein Clint uses a stove door as a similar body shield. Marty saw it too because he was there, and he remembered it when the stove door fell off when he fell into it. The BTTF series is chock full of call backs and repeats on themes. They really stand out more on second and third viewings.
I loved that BTTF ride at Universal. Bet it never occurred to you that in the "future" you would be you would be reacting to BTTF on your own TH-cam channel.😉 This movie in 3 parts is special to so many people, the next best thing to watching it for the first time is seeing someone appreciate it as much as you did. (It was written all over your face.) Thanks.🤠
Thank you Donald. I had so much fun in this journey!
Later in the comics they explain more about Doug Needles. He was Marty's friend but as they got older Doug started bullying Marty. He needed a tube for his guitar amp and dared Marty to steal one from "that crazy scientist." Doc caught Marty but hired him to do shopping for parts doc needed for experiments.
He's also Flea which i is pretty cool
I'm so happy to watch your final reaction to this wonderful trilogy! This is definitely the perfect trilogy aside from Star Wars! Nothing beats Star Wars but this comes in right behind it. I would even argue that they're just as good as each other. And the reason why he was so good at shooting was because he used to play that game I think it's called Gung Slinger or something like that that's the 7 eleven all the time like he was playing it in part two and the kids were like you have to use your hands that's like a baby's toy. Anyway as I absolutely love finding your channel and can't wait to watch more stuff with you soon!
Aww thank you for this awesome comment. I hope you hang out more so we can watch even more movies together. 🥰
@@CristyReacts Abso F#$%$! lutely!
My favourite trilogy. I first watched these on VHS as a kid in the early 90s and I was hooked immediately.
So glad you enjoyed them and even caught some of the many Easter egg moments.
Technically you don't HAVE to say goodbye to these characters... There was also a Saturday morning cartoon series...;)
And a 2011 Telltale video game called Back To The Future: The Game (which kind of acts as a part IV storyline & features all the original actors voices as their characters - Michael J. Fox as Marty, Christopher Lloyd as Doc, Mary Steenburgen as Clara & even Thomas F. Wilson as Biff and his other ancestors). It is a very fun & underrated video game. 😁🎮
@@MLJ7956only Lloyd came back to play Doc. Fox was there as a cameo playing Willie McFly, but someone else did Marty.
@@DeanStrickson Claudia Wells also voiced Jennnifer in the "Citizen Brown" segment. And in the remastered version they got Thomas Wilson back to voice Biff.
Loving your reactions. Best trilogy ever, and I grew up on the original 1977/80/83 Star Wars. The band playing at the festival is none other than legendary Texas band ZZ Top.
Fun Fact : While filming the band part of the festival there was an issue with a camera or something so while they waited ZZ Top played music for everyone. It was so fun, in fact, that the camera had been fixed for some amount of time before they resumed filming.
Yea, that song was a huge hit when this movie came out. Honestly, it's one of my all-time favorite ZZ Top songs.
Last Saturday (October 21st) was Back to the Future day. Watched it on the big screen in a theater for the first time in my life. What a blast!
In the second movie, we see Marty play a shooter video game in the futurr. Presumably he played a similar game in his time at 7-11.
Fun fact: The $80 Biff wanted from the Doc in 1885 is equivalent to approx $2,538 in 2023. That's crazy.
Clara didn't actually belong in 1885 as she would have originally died. So it would have been fine to take her to 1985.
My only issue/question with this movie is.
We know Doc couldn't make gasoline in 1885. So how did he turn a training into a even more futuristic flying time machine? Also why build another time machine if the plan was to destroy the delorean? That makes no sense, but I still love the movie.
Happy Birthday Phoebe (I hope I spelled it right)🎂🐶 I'm so glad you had a blast with this trilogy, it is one of my favorites! I hope you will dive into the Lord of the Rings trilogy soon!! 🥰🥰
Phoebe says Thank You!! Yes, LOTR is in the pipeline!
I loved the band at the dance They have done very well in our times-ZZ top!!
A nice little Easter egg or attention to detail I guess, is at 19:14 when Doc is showing Marty the future path of the train track over the ravine. If you look behind Marty when the camera turns around you can see Clara in the background waiting for Doc to pick her up. [edit: It's blocked by your face insert here, but you can see it in the movie itself]
Happy Birthday Phoebe ! Good Girl. Have a lot's of walking, running, playing...
Thank you!! She had triple treats and extra cuddles!
You are quite a delightful person to share this great conclusion to the ' Back To The Future ' trilogy . Quite enjoyed it , though I've seen this movie many times before ! There are 'some' parallels to the movie 'High Noon' ( which I highly recommend you see ! )
The studio built a town set for 1885 north of Keystone, CA for the town scenes. The finale train scene when Marty goes back to 1985 was shot at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in Jamestown, CA. The backlot of the park and around the roundhouse and station has been used since 1919 for train sequences in many movies and in western TV shows. TVs "Petticoat Junction", "Tales of Wells Fargo, the original "Wild, wild West" with Robert Conrad and "The Shadow Riders" with Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck are just a few filmed there. The studio donated three special effects smokestacks to the park depicting certain stages of the train & car sequences. A really cool place if you like old trains and cinema western history.💛😁💛
The manure company was A. Jones Manure. In young Hill Valley, the A. Jones Manure Company was just getting started so all they had was a manure cart. Decades later the A. Jones Manure Company had manure trucks. It took me several viewings to catch that. There is a reason for every thing you see in these movies. They are excellent.
Yes best trilogy ever. I would say the first 3 Indiana Jones movies come in a close second.
Actually there were no sequels planned. At the end of the first BTTF movie, they fly off in the car and that was supposed to be it. The movie was such a huge success they ended up filming the other 2 as well. This is why Jennifer is not seen that much in BTTF2, they didn’t plan on her being there but since she was in the car they had to figure out what to do with her character.
It's crazy how these are mostly the same actors but they play wildly different characters, especially Biff played by Thomas Wilson going from Mad Dog in 1885 to puppy dog in 1985 😂
Yes!!! exactly this. I loved that so much.
Tom Wilson is the true unsung hero of the series. He's fantastic.
7-11 was a convenient store that had video games in it so it was considered funny when he said it when folks knew what he meant
9:04 We got an easter Egg here. Marty refers to Clint Eastwood, but Doc doesn't know who he is. Actually, the movie features in the theaters Revenge of the creature (Poster on the wall) is the very first movie where Clint Eastwood appeared.
But Eastwood didn't become well known until Rawhide, which premiered in January of 1959 and ran until 1965. Rowdy Yates. It was shortly after that when he did the first "spaghetti" western Fistful of Dollars.
There's a point-and-click video Back to the Future video game that was released in 2010, the story picks up where part 3 left off, and the game has a long two-part story that essentially makes up part 4 and 5 of the saga. There are videos on TH-cam that contain just the cutscenes in case you wanted to update your knowledge of their shenanigans without having to play hours and hours of a game on a system you don't have.
Ooooh maybe I'll check them out!! thanks for the rec:)
@@CristyReacts I consider this game a "must have" and highly recommended for all Back to the Future fans in the world!
12:31 Michael Corleone in 1931. (In the comic Citizen Brown)
Killed me when Marty gave the guns away in the end. He could have gotten a ton of money for those in the future.
Also, Marty gets knocked out in every movie.
1st Hit by the car
2nd Hit in the face with the door as the other him came running out of the gym.
3rd. Here, it’s the fence.
Happy Birthday, Phoebe!
Thank you John!! I will buy Phoebe a treat on your behalf:)
Marty looking exactly like his paternal great great grandfather makes total sense, however, what doesn't make sense is that his paternal great great grandmother looks exactly like his mother.
I mean, think about it.
I know!!!! This one detail always bothers me. Ah, well. Nobody (and nothing) is perfect. 🤷♀️😂
Another awesome reaction! I like when educated people watch movies and catch things and understand, or at least get the fact that the writers connect things in multiple movies. You would be surprised at the number of people that are completely confused at the end of BTTF 3. Cheers!
There used to be one or two video games in 7-11 stores in the 80s
GREAT SCOTT! Happy Birthday Phoebe! 🐶Here's a flux capacitor for you, fetch!! Congrats on 5K Subs Cristy!
Hi Ron! Hope you had a great weekend, my friend. Phoebe is a happy girl today:)
You might recall (or you might not...lol) a scene in Part II when there was a Clint Eastwood movie on the television and the scene that was playing had Clint using the same metal stove door trick that Marty ended up using against Buford. Lots of details in these movies - repeat viewings usually pay off in that it's not merely fun (it IS!) but you'll also find these little Easter eggs all over the place.
37:20 I can never watch this part without seeing that kid crying and pointing at his junk saying he needs to pee lol 😂 poor kid
broooooooo WHAT i just saw it
Another great reaction! Something I've never thought about until just now is that when Marty comes back in the beginning of this movie and Doc passes out so Marty takes him home, that Doc never gets the letter Marty wrote him out of the trash can. Does that mean the Doc in this timeline dies n 1985? Something to think about!
I love time travel stories and one of my favorite shows of the past few years was Timeless on NBC. It only lasted a season and a half but I thought it was great. I've never seen anyone else react to it but if you love Back To The Future I'm sure you would love Timeless!
I just watched your reaction to part 3 - thank you! It was a great reaction!
I told you this wraps up only if you watch the whole trilogy … now you understood why this is “THE TRILOGY”. I apologize again for being so late on your reactions to part 2 and part 3.
Since you always mention at the beginning in your intro about suggestions, I remembered how much you resemble Laurel from “The Langoliers”, so I suggest you watch that one too.
Take care and stay safe.
Salutations from Romania …
I love this trilogy, it’s near perfect there is only one plot hole. When old biff gives his younger self the Almanac and comes back he would have went to an alternate 2015 not the same one he left.
We need Cristy to write the script, direct and star in Back to the Future Part IV! Seriously! I don't care who else is in the movie as long as they are all excellent actors. It will be great, guaranteed!
Biff Tannen ... Thomas Wilson, who played "Biff" and his relatives, is actually known to be one of the nicest and funniest guys. He took inspiration for the part from his own personal experiences being bullied as a kid. He's also a comedian and has done voice over work for video games and TV, but probably best known as a few characters he voices for on SpongeBob SquarePants.
It was a lot of fun traveling through time with you, Cristy. I'm looking forward to the next adventure. Please deliver the following message to Phoebe:
Who's a good girl? Hm? Who's a good girl? _You're_ a good girl. Yes, you are. You're such a good girl. And it's your Birthday! Happy Birthday, good girl. You want to go for a walkie?
AWWW she's so happy!! I took her on TWO long birthday walkies and gave her 10 million treats. Thanks for the birthday love, says Phoebe!!
23:00 Marty learned to shoot from playing the arcade game "WildWild Gunman" in a 7-Eleven. This was briefly foreshadowed in the second movie, when he was in the future visiting "The Cafe 80's". He was showing kids in the future how to play the game and got a "crackshot" rating, but they compared it to "a baby's toy" because you had to use your hands.
34:47 "'Eastwood _Raviiiiine!'"_
As I understand it, they interviewed Clint Eastwood after he had seen this about _his_ assessment and he said that he didn't think he could assess it fairly. He was just _too_ charmed with the ubiquitous homages.
I really enjoyed watching your reaction to the whole trilogy. Loved how emotionally invested you were for all 3. Even though I've seen the trilogy many times, it made me enjoy it again on a different level.
Marty being good at the gun slinging video game is set up in part 2 (that's what he was referring to as "7/11"), as is "Clint" using chest armor plating.
I'm new here but love your content. I was actually waiting to see if this video would drop. Your awesome 🌟
Aw thank you!! I love this. Hope you hang out for more movies:)
Glad you liked the movies Cristy. Yeah this was definitely one of the great Trilogies. Luv your recations. Keep up the great work.
Fun Easter egg @ 9:02 - Those 2 movie posters were for the first 2 movies Clint Eastwood was ever in. Small roles. Both came out in 1955. "Revenge of the Creature" (sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon) and "Tarantula".
Marty stands there and says "Clint Eastwood would never wear anything like this", even though '55 Doc wouldn't know who that is yet.
You can see the DeLorean in the movie called, A thousand ways to die in the wild west. It was hilarious to see it briefly in that movie in a barn.😅
12:51 Here, they round out the experience. In the _first_ one, we saw what home cooking looked like in 1985, and then in 1955. In part II, we saw a prediction of what it would _probably_ look like in 2015. Now, here, we're seeing what it looked like in _1885._
14:02 Wells Fargo was founded in 1852 - pretty young for a bank. Many were founded in the 17th and 18th centuries. Lloyds (1765), Barclays (1690), for example. There are a few older still.
THEE BEST FILM TRILOGY EVER MADE
Convenience stores like 7-11 used to have 1 or 2 arcade games in the 80s/90s. When Marty mentions learning to shoot in 7-11, it's a reference to light gun games of the era, specifically, the version of Wild Gunman shown in BTTF 2.
10:30 Don't you love how well the cave fits the car? It's like a naturally formed _garage,_ or something.
The band playing at the dance celebrating the clock tower is ZZ top. And they're playing a country version of their song Doubleback, which they wrote for this movie.
