i hate that movie it sucks

which movie ????????

This is just a question to anyone- the mall in back to the future where Doc demonstrates time travel to Marty is a real mall in California. But has anyone been to the mall recently and if so, does it look the same?

Ive found a site that gives you up to date photos of the BTTF set, but this forum wont let me display it.

Another BTTF3 problem

OK then. This BTTF 3 problem has probably been listed in one of the pages of this thread but I have unfortunately not had the time to read every post. It wasn't listed in the first few pages and that is good enough for me!!

There is one major error, plot hole, whatever you want to call it in BTTF3 and that is that the whole problem in the movie is not the power for the capacitor but the fuel for the combustion engine. Doc states that the car engine has always run on Gas. So when when Marty goes back to 1885 and gets the tank busted there is a clear quick fix that not everyone sees or thinks of when they think of the major floor in BTTF3 and that is that at the time Marty goes back to 1885 in the time machine - Doc's busted time machine has only been inside the mine tunnel for a number of months. THERE WOULD BE FUEL IN THE TANK OF THAT CAR AND A USABLE GAS TANK! Even if Doc drained the car before he placed it in the mine, a scientist such as himself would have surely kept the fuel and stored it somewhere safe. All they needed to do was change the tank over and that would be that ----->>>>BACK TO 1985>>>>>>. Sure, the film would have been crap and a lot shorter but at least I wouldn't have that huge "easy fix" option slapping me in the face every time I watch #3.

This is the error I notice way before I start thinking about the whole Clara, Doc and the ravine thing.

Yes maybe doc wanted to try something new instead of the car again. So he uses a train to puss the car

It's at the La Puente Hills Mall in California. I live about a half hour away from it. It looks nothing like that anymore.

ok did doc know about marty in 1955 ?? I mean marty was not even born then but still doc did not ask who are u ?

And something they didn't put much thought into with Part 3. Okay, it makes sense that they had Michael J. Fox play Shamus McFly. But why did Lea Thompson play Maggie McFly? Lea Thompson's primary character, Lorraine Baines, isn't a McFly by blood so it doesn't make sense that one of George McFly's ancestors looks like his wife.

I didn't read through all the posts so sorry if someone posted this....

This was an on going joke through-out the trilogy where Marty wakes up to his teenaged mom/ alternate time mom/ and great-great grandma saying You're safe and sound now, back in good old 1955/ Back on the 27th floor/ back in good old 1885

Um... He introduced himself man. I am also pretty sure that Marty worked for about 5 minutes convincing the Doc what had happened.

Yeah, I figured. It works for continuity of the movies. But logically, it doesn't make sense.

They probably won't. Though they have been reviving dead series as of late, I hear that Michael J. Fox quit acting.

Yes thats true, after quitting Spin City Michael J Fox says its doubtful hell act again.

Truly a shame but understandable especially with the Parkins and all. He was one of my favorite actors of all time.

micahel j fox was in a few boston legal episodes and other programmes as of late, although i might be wrong because i myself have not seen him on tele for a long time

Agree. Very sad to see what happened to him. You can't blame the guy for leaving the acting buz alltogether.

Dude, its movie dealing with a flux capacitor come on now
