126 Back to the Future Part III (1990)
- Filmed at the same time as "Back to the Future Part II (1989)" (qv). In the
five years since the original was made, 'Michael J. Fox' (qv) had forgotten
how to ride a skateboard.
- 'Crispin Glover' (qv) played George McFly in the original, but was replaced
by 'Jeffrey Weissman' (qv) in Part II and Part III. There is a rumour that
Glover had some emotional/mental problems which caused this.
- The Editor of Hill Valley's newspaper in 1885 is ``M. R. Gale'', a tribute
to trilogy screenwriter 'Bob Gale' (qv).
- In "Back to the Future Part II (1989)" (qv), Biff watches
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966)" (qv) in the alternative 1985, in
which 'Clint Eastwood' (qv)'s character uses steel plating underneath his
poncho. Marty (calling himself ``Clint Eastwood'') uses the hatch from a
stove under his poncho in 1885. The sign at the train crossing in 1985
identifies the location as ``Eastwood Ravine''.
- References to "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)" (qv): the train sprouts fins
similar to the Professor's car.
- Director of Photography 'Dean Cundey' (qv) plays the photographer who takes
Marty and Doc's picture in 1885.
- DIRTRADE(Robert Zemeckis): [citation]: When Marty walks along the
railroad tracks and finally reaches the town, he comes to the railway
station. Then he walks into the town, while the camera slowly rises up
above the station and finally shows Marty at a large distance walking into
the town. This scene is shot exactly the same way as the scene in
"Once Upon a Time in the West (1969)" (qv), when Jill arrives at the
station.
- CAMEO(ZZTop): the band in 1885. ZZTop wrote some of the music for the
movie.
