Franchise star Christopher Lloyd is taking a look back at Back to the Future Part III. Released in 1990, the film was directed by Robert Zemeckis, who crafted the story with producer Bob Gale. This time, Doc Brown (Lloyd) and Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) travel 100 years to the past to the year 1885. It is the third and final installment of the Back to the Future movie series, which has not been rebooted or given any other sequels in the years since.
On Sunday, Lloyd took to Twitter to share some love for the Back to the Future threequel. In one tweet, he included a cowboy hat emoji while writing, “I love 1885.” In a follow-up tweet, Lloyd posts an image from Back to the Future Part III of himself alongside Fox in their Western gear. Lloyd notes in that tweet, “Circa 1885.” Clearly, the third movie is on Lloyd’s mind, and while the original Back to the Future seems to get the most attention, the actor wants Part III to get its love as well.

In the movie, Marty learns that his old pal Doc faces a grim fate at the hands of Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen (Tom Wilson), an ancestor of Biff Tannen, after traveling back to 1885. While Marty hopes to bring Doc back home to 1985, plans change when Doc falls in love with a woman from the past (Mary Steenburgen). The film concludes with Marty’s time-traveling days presumably ending with the destruction of the DeLorean, while Doc spends the rest of his days traveling through time in a train with his new family.
Lloyd has since gone on to reprise the role of Doc Brown for special appearances, such as an on-screen reunion with Fox for a spot on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2015. He has also voiced Doc in Telltale Games’ Back to the Future: The Game, an episodic video game series that served as a continuation of Back to the Future Part III. Lloyd has said he’s open to seeing Back to the Future Part IV get made one day, but that’s probably not going to happen, as producer Bob Gale and director Robert Zemeckis won’t ever sign off on it.
The original trilogy will always be there, however, for fans to enjoy. Like Lloyd, many will be especially fond of Part III, which closed out the story of Marty and Doc… at least on the big screen.
