Apologies for the delay in finishing our discussion regarding Back to the Future. Now you know how I felt when, in 1989-1990, I had to wait six months between the release of Part 2 and Part 3 of the trilogy.
Part 3 picks up right where we left off; Marty is stuck in 1955 after the DeLorean is struck by lightning and alerts the Western Union courier that “there’s only one person who can help me.” Marty then races back to find 1955 Doc. In his letter dated 1885, Doc informs Marty that the Delorean is hidden in a cave outside of Hill Valley. Marty must travel back to 1885 to save Doc who has been murdered by a seedy character by the name of Buford Tannen. Apparently being seedy is genetic, as Buford is in fact Biff’s ancestor.
Marty, who still cannot think 4th dimensionally, travels back to 1885 and adopts the name Clint Eastwood. I suspect that this is the historical figure after whom the now famous movie star and director is named. The Delorean’s gas line has been torn meaning Marty and Doc must find an alternate method of achieving 88 mph to travel back to 1985. They decide to push it with a train.
During a visit to the rail line, Marty and Doc encounter a runaway carriage carrying the mom from Step Brothers who is known as Clara Clayton in 1885. Clara and Doc look at each other the same way as a Kirstie Alley looks at a cupcake; meaning they are in love.
A bunch of other stuff happens like Marty’s showdown with Buford in which he proves cheaters do in fact prosper, Doc breaks up with Clara and drinks what I suspect was a laced shot of whisky, and Clara finds out that Doc only broke up with her because he had to travel back to the future.
Marty and Doc hijack a train and using magic wood, speed it up 88 mph. Right before the DeLorean travels to the future, Clara shows up and very unathletically climbs the train. Doc must save her, but by doing so he misses his chance to travel with Marty to 1985.
Back in 1985, the DeLorean is smashed by a train, Marty does not crash into a Rolls Royce, and Doc shows up in a train time machine.
Overall the third installment is an excellent movie and perfect way to wrap up the trilogy.
