In each film they have taken little pieces from the previous films and make them essential to what's happening. Zemeckis and Gale have been absolute geniuses in writing these films. This solidly takes care of my second point about keeping the characters true to what they have been before. So yes, all the characters from the first two films are here in some form or another, and though Doc Brown may be in love, he is still the Doc. He even somehow manages to top his villainous portrayals in the first two films which is not an easy task. Wilson's portrayals of Biff, you'll be amazed at his rambunctious portrayal of Mad Dog. The meanest, grimiest, filthiest, most ruthless outlaw to ever inhabit Hill Valley. There's also the matter of Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. So by having the majority of the film take place in the old west, then introducing something to the plot we didn't expect, Zemeckis takes care of the first point I mentioned above.

This is one romance that could easily have been the downfall of this film, but thanks to the performances of Steenburgen and Christopher Lloyd, together they develop a chemistry that makes it all work and work to perfection. Yet, Marty seems as a amused as we are by the whole thing. It is left up to Marty to become the voice of reason when Doc begins to let his emotions rule his reactions. In essence, Doc loses his head over a woman and loses his scientific reasoning in the process. Zemeckis and Gale decide to center the complications of this third film around Doc Brown by having him fall unexpectedly in love with a school teacher by the name of Clara(Mary Steenburgen). The first thing he does is throw us a little change up.


For the first time, Zemeckis slows things down a bit, making this third film straightforward, yet just as delightful in a lot of ways as the other films. While BTTFIII does not have the break neck frantic pace of Part II, it is a good film on its own. After discovering that Doc met with some misfortune shortly after arriving in 1885 Hill Valley, Marty decides to travel back in time to rescue him. Marty has no magic ruby slippers to click together three times and say, "There's no place like home." It seems Doc ended up in the Old West, but hid the DeLorean in a cave for Marty to find some 70 years later so he may return home back to 1985 and destroy the time machine. As we know by now, things are never that simple when it comes to Marty and Doc. With Marty trapped once again in the year 1955, he enlists the 1955 Doc Brown to help him return home. For this third outing in the series, Zemeckis takes us where we have yet to tread, that being 1885 Hill Valley. keep the main characters true to what they have been previously 3. do something in your wrap up you haven't done before 2. To conclude any trilogy in a successful manner some of the key ingredients you need are: 1. Having set a new standard in time travel films with Back To The Future and Back To The Future Part II, it was with eager anticipation that I looked forward to seeing if Robert Zemeckis could bring his trilogy to a satisfying conclusion.
