The Time Train was a second time machine that appears at the end of Part III, which is powered by steam instead of gasoline, as Doc Brown built it out of a steam locomotive over the course of ten years. The flux capacitor is inside the chimney headlamp at the front of the locomotive. The time circuits appear as rotating dials that are identical to the DeLorean's time circuits, though are not clearly seen in the film. The sides of the cabin (which display Doc's initials: ELB) are capable of opening the same way as the DeLorean's gullwing doors, but can also deploy stairs that allow people to climb on board. Its tender also has vents which function the same way as the DeLorean's. How Doc was able to create the flux capacitor and time circuits for the Time Train in 1885 is unexplained, but it is assumed that Doc used parts from the hoverboard that Marty left behind in 1885 and the broken DeLorean that was buried in the mine to build them (all while ensuring that Marty and his 1955 counterpart would be able to repair it). Unlike the DeLorean, the external components of the Time Train were symmetrical on both sides of the vehicle, possibly representing a more sophisticated grasp of the time travel technology on Doc's part, despite being constructed from more primitive materials. Interestingly, before the Time Train appeared in 1985, it triggered the bells and gates on the nearby railroad crossing as if another train was coming. This could mean that the Time Train is so powerful that it enables a connection with its destination time even before arriving to that point of time. [ non-primary source needed] It’s been remarked upon several times that it’s somewhat strange that Lea Thompson plays the role of Maggie McFly, given that her character Lorraine Baines is actually from the other side of Marty’s family. Bob Gale has explained this apparent discrepancy by the simple reasoning that they wanted the third film to have a “Mom, is that you?” scene, just as the first two had – and offers the possible justification that “the McFly men have a genetic trait that attracted them to women who bear a resemblance to Maggie or Lea Thompson.” A conscious echo of the first film’s famous closing line, or sheer coincidence? It can’t be accidental… surely? 67. Maggie McFly Along with ‘Honest Joe’ Statler’s, there’s another Hill Valley tradition in evidence in 1885: the Jones family manure dealers. By 1955, they’ve of course become ‘D. Jones Manure Hauling’ (as seen in both the first and second films). There’s no record of whether their services are still required in 1985 or 2015, though we’d like to imagine that an ‘F. Jones Manure’ and an ‘H. Jones Manure’ do exist. 69. The Saloon

The "C" car was used for interior footage and was torn apart so the camera could fit inside the car. The vehicle was left at Universal Studios Hollywood, many of its parts were put together on a replica remodeled by Tom Talmon Studios for Universal Japan. Universal Japan sold the car to a private company and the vehicle is currently being displayed on the company's entryway. [20] Equipment [ edit ] Flux capacitor [ edit ] The Flux Capacitor as seen in a replica DeLorean Time Machine It’s a small detail, but a nice touch, that rather than buying a new hat after having it shot off his head by Buford (thanks to Marty’s Frisbee-based intervention), he just continues to wear it, bullet hole and all. 82. “Great Scott!” “I know, this is heavy!”The other most obvious reference in the 2015 town square is the holographic advert for Jaws 19. By the time Part IIwas released in 1989, there had already been four Jawsfilms, so maybe it wasn’t unreasonable to suggest that there might be a further 14 in the 26 years that followed. Unfortunately, reality has slowed matters somewhat, so we’ve quite a lot to get through between now and next year if that one’s going to come true. Before, erm, “settling down” with Lorraine, that’s Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe that Alternate Biff is shown to have dated. 52. Nixon & Vietnam

Note also the name of the director: Max Spielberg. That’s the real name of Steven Spielberg’s first son, who was born in 1985 – but unlike fellow famous-director-offspring like Jason Reitman and Max Landis, he never followed his father into filmmaking. 35. Blast From The PastThe third cinema seen in the trilogy is the out-of-down drive-in the Doc strategically sets up as Marty’s departure point. Unsurprisingly, there are some clever references in the movies advertised here – the two posters seen as Marty emerges in his Western outfit are both 1955 releases. More notably, however, they’re both films that feature Clint Eastwood in uncredited roles. Marty actually even points at the Revengeposter when noting that the Doc hasn’t heard of Clint yet. 64. The Drive-In (II) Having a scene in which a dog sits behind the wheel of a car – as Einstein becomes the world’s first time traveller in the remote-controlled DeLorean – was, according to Bob Gale, a nod to the 1959 Disney film The Shaggy Dog, which sees a sheepdog not entirely dissimilar to the Doc’s pet doing just that. 16. The Scarecrow

The Doc’s method of rescuing Marty is a reference to yet another Clint Eastwood film – this time it’s The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. 72. It’s a refrigerator!This reversal of the Doc and Marty’s recurring catchphrases (a lovely, subtle reference to the effect their friendship has had on one-another) has to be one of the best jokes in the entire trilogy. 83. “I’ve been peddling this barbed wire all across the country…”

For most of the first film, the 1.21 gigawatts are supplied by a plutonium-powered nuclear fission reactor and, with the absence of plutonium, a bolt of lightning channeled directly into the flux capacitor by a long pole and hook in the film's climactic sequence. [3] At the end of the first film, and for the remainder of the trilogy, the plutonium nuclear reactor is replaced by a "Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor" generator possibly acquired in 2015. [4] The "Mr. Fusion" device apparently converts household waste into electrical power; the name suggests nuclear fusion. Due to a "hover conversion" made in 2015, the car also becomes capable of hovering and flight, though it lost this ability at the end of the second film. [4] [5] History [ edit ] There are two in-jokes here. Firstly is the fact that the Chicago Cubs had last won a World Series in 1907 (and finally broke their drought in 2016); and secondly, they’re supposed to have defeated a team from Miami, but there wasn’t one of those in 1989.
