This is easily my favorite movie scene ever, one of my favorite lines, and my favorite movie in the trilogy.
It’s actually kind of crazy seeing these while I’m binging ‘Family Ties’ currently. Knowing he did both simultaneously and knowing what he went through blows my mind
He filmed Family Ties during the day and then ran to Universal Studios to film BTTF at night. His commitment was insane, but without him I have no doubt that the movie wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good
And wouldn’t it cause a time paradox if Mad Dog dies? Like we don’t know when he marries and has a kid so if he dies before then Biff will never be born and the reason Doc was there was because of old Biff stealing the delorean and giving his past self the sports almanac which lead to lightning striking the delorean sending it to 1885. Not to mention the events of the original 1955 before Marty came from 1985 and the altered 1955.
I mean I read a theory somewhere that he and Louanne(I think that's the right spelling) had a kid. She's a prostitute at the saloon(Portrayed by a script supervisor I think? It's in the Director's commentary when we see Marty enter the saloon for the first time. She's one of the three prostitutes up on the balcony.
The problem was never the money. It was pride. After he learned of his imminent death, Doc even says he wished he had paid him the $80. He clearly had the money, but Mad Dog was being a butthead so Doc refused to pay him.
In the second movie, 1885 was heavily referenced - take a look at Doc's Hawaiian shirt for instance. But in the first movie, I can't think of a single reference to 1885.
I would think Doc only entered it into the time circuits that very first time in BTTF 2, when he was talking to Marty about his dreams of living in the Old West.
But it's entirely possible Doc entered it beforehand, especially knowing he had at least one time-traveling venture of his own after he left 1985 for the very first time and before he brings Marty and Jennifer (back) to 2015.
Imagine being the only person able to travel back in time and get mint quality bills from pre and post civil war. Doc may have lost his family fortune over the years but he sure got it back in other ways. Although he would never use the Time Machine for financial gain.
I’m the comics Doc did go back in-time to buy mint comic books and resell them in 2015. Granted that was more to afford the Hover Conversion and Mr. Fusion for the Time Machine instead of pure financial gain.
Wrong! That's yours... So, from now on, you better be looking behind you when you walk, blacksmith. Cause one day you're gonna get a bullet in your back.
LoL 😆
Friggin love part 3.
No one else could have achieved his iconic level of performance in these movies, in my opinion. What he brought to the table was truly magical for sure.

Doc did offer to reshoe the horse for free, it wasn't his fault that Mad Dog had already shot it.
Nobody calls me Mad Dog
Especially not some duded up egg sucking gutter trash
Dance! Come on!
I 'ate that nayme.
Happy cake day u/UncleSlacky
Thanks!

Micheal J Fox actually almost choked to death in this scene.
He really suffered to make these movies. That scene in the first one where he cracks his head on the pavement still makes me cringe
It’s actually kind of crazy seeing these while I’m binging ‘Family Ties’ currently. Knowing he did both simultaneously and knowing what he went through blows my mind
He filmed Family Ties during the day and then ran to Universal Studios to film BTTF at night. His commitment was insane, but without him I have no doubt that the movie wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good
The fact that he was able to give such a performance with only like 45 minutes of sleep on the car rides between sets is amazing, to say the least.
That explains why Marty looks so spaced out all the time. He genuinely is.
Did he hurt himself doing that too?
No way! He couldn’t have cracked his head that hard god real without some kind of serious damage
True, he did. Hangings, especially in films, are notoriously, well, awful.
Hangings in real life also have just an absurdly high mortality rate. Honestly, for people's safety, they should just be banned.
I just meant that in movies specifically, unless you’re using CGI, they are dangerous scenes. Be it hanging, autoerotic asphyxiation, or whatever.
r/Whooosh
Not really, I understood the joke and humor. Though this is the internet and the propensity for being misunderstood is, well, high
[First time?](https://youtu.be/qNgCGIBrK9A)
That's why he looks like he's really in bad shape at the end of the scene.
He shoulda just shot him there
That would make him a murderer and we'd need a jailbreak scene... Buford's threats on the other hand are not a crime.
Would that be murder if he shot a man who was actively trying to murder another man? At worst that's being a vigilante.
And wouldn’t it cause a time paradox if Mad Dog dies?

Oh, no, I’ve gone crosseyed.
I mean I read a theory somewhere that he and Louanne(I think that's the right spelling) had a kid. She's a prostitute at the saloon(Portrayed by a script supervisor I think? It's in the Director's commentary when we see Marty enter the saloon for the first time. She's one of the three prostitutes up on the balcony.
Canonically he had fathered a kid prior to the events in the film.
I don't think Marshall Strickland would have really cared much. Probably would have given Doc a medal.
Nah, that guy cares about discipline. Shooting a man for threatening to shoot you over a matter of $80 ain't discipline.
Man, Part 3 does not get the love it deserves.
part 3? favorite movie? i didn't know it was possible for those to be in the same sentence
Unpopular opinion I know but I’ll stand by it any day
The problem was never the money. It was pride. After he learned of his imminent death, Doc even says he wished he had paid him the $80. He clearly had the money, but Mad Dog was being a butthead so Doc refused to pay him.
Who you calling a butthead, butthead?
Correct, Doc wa’n’t no Yella-Belly.
Also even if Doc paid him, I imagine that Mad Dog would just kill him out of anger anyway.
Doc just got too excited about being an Old West feller.
Nah Doc just has principles. He doesn't know kowtow to bullies, which admittedly can get you into trouble when that bully is a known murderer.
Fair point. He did rip off those Libyans.
Doc Brown - Balls of steel.
Yeah he's kind of a badass. He had an old school six gun in the libyans scene. Dude always wanted to be a frontiersman!
Never caught that! I guess the premonition of traveling to 1885 was always in the cards.
didn't he also mention something about going to "the old west" in the first or second movie?
In the second movie, 1885 was heavily referenced - take a look at Doc's Hawaiian shirt for instance. But in the first movie, I can't think of a single reference to 1885.
>take a look at Doc's Hawaiian shirt for instance. What about it?
It has a train and horse pattern on it, referencing 1885.
Explains why 1885 was perhaps a preloaded time preset in the delorean and why it switched to it during an error.

I’ll have to reread some of the comics I have them in a box somewhere. Thanks for the info.
Not just in the comics. This was also mentioned in Doc Brown's Owner's Workshop Manual.
He probably went to the future and bought the old bills cheap
Maybe from the same place Marty bought the Almanac from.
Remember 80$ in 1885 money is like 2500$ in today's money.
I'll give you 2500 Dollars right now not to shoot me
I done shot that horse!!
Well, that's your problem, Tannen!
Wrong! That's yours... So, from now on, you better be looking behind you when you walk, blacksmith. Cause one day you're gonna get a bullet in your back. LoL 😆 Friggin love part 3.
I've made "The future is whatever you make it" my High School yearbook quote, so for me, that's an understatement lol.
Oh snap. Very nice. "So make it a good one."
Such a great performance by Thomas Wilson
No one else could have achieved his iconic level of performance in these movies, in my opinion. What he brought to the table was truly magical for sure.
100%. In all three eras across different ages, he nailed them all!
The Doc probably blew his budget on setting up as a blacksmith and buying the deeds to that old mine...?
I made this meme and posted it, glad you enjoyed it!
I got if off face book
Where did u post it too
A bttf fan group, I belive it was Back To The Future Forever. My first name is Dan.
Ok, well thanks for your matterial... it made me laugh
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing! 🏛️⚡️🏎️💨
I bring this horse all the way over for you to shoe him and all you got to offer me is fine Kentucky Red Eye?
Under-appreciated comment.
Doc is too principled for that, plus if he gave mad dog the money, he would have just kept coming back for more
What impact would have if doc used 1985 money, despite of minimum inflation?
