1/08: Back to the Future Part III has many logic problems.

One: When Marty McFly traveled to 1885 and stashed his car away in the cave, how come there wasn't another DeLorean that's driven separately by Doc Brown?

Two: How about paying eighty dollars to Mad Dog Tannen? Doing so will have avoided all of the mess in the first place.

Three: If Clint Eastwood is a famous name in the Wild West, then there'll be no Dirty Harry, correct? I say this because his Spaghetti Westerns weren't that popular in the States as the stupid fanatics would like have you to believe.

Four: During the ending, where did the train come from? It'll be unbelievable if the train was produced during the future.

Five: If Mad Dog was arrested, would it delay generations of the Tannen family, or perhaps the family would cease to exist?

Six: Where's the marshal the whole time?

Seven: If Marty McFly is transported to October 27th of 1985, will he see his duplicate along with the original copy?

Eight: When Clara Clayton gave birth to two sons with Doc Brown, how come, during the new train scene, she still looks the same?

I don't like how the film ends. In many ways, it renders the previous sequel useless as if 2015 never happened. The story isn't bad, regardless.

All in all, the Back to the Future trilogy has been a nice ride.

7/20: I have to admit that Back to the Future Part III is a lot better movie than I remembered.

I know many comments have been made about Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, but Thomas F. Wilson should be commended for taking on multiple roles throughout the trilogy as Biff, Griff, and Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. It's an impressive job.

This sequel is much better than part two because it's both fresh and original. Nothing is repeated. There's also movie magic that's supplied by Christopher Lloyd. Of course, the filmmakers asked Clint Eastwood for permission to use his name which worked out well. Again, it's cool to see how the events are intertwined to give a sci-fi edge to the film. They remind me of the TV show Quantum Leap. Like the last two pictures, the special effects are ahead of time.

All in all, Back to the Future Part III is a great wrap-up of the trilogy.
