Synopsis:

I have combined all three of the Back To The Future films into one continuous adventure.

Intentions:

I have loved these films since I first saw them in the cinema, and had wanted to do something fun by combining them into one long film. This was done for fans of the films, plus anyone wanting a movie marathon of sorts!

Change List:

I thought carefully about the overall story, and how it all flowed together. In order to make it into one seamless film, certain parts needed to be trimmed or cut out. The original films thankfully don't have any slow parts or unnecessary exposition, so there wasn't a huge amount to cut. Since this is a very long film edit, I needed to make sure that nothing in the edit dragged on, or would leave a viewer feeling bored or restless. I opted to leave out any deleted scenes, as not only are they in poor condition (visually speaking), but they would have slowed down the pace of each film considerably. Cuts and Additions: Removed the yellow tint present on Blu-ray versions of Part III. Removed the opening Universal titles from each film. Relocated the end credits for Parts 1 & 2. Removed the opening credits for Parts 2 & 3. Removed the footage from Part 3 shown as a preview at the end of Part 2, as well as the “To Be Concluded” text. I’ve removed the repeated scene of the DeLorean being sent from 1955 back to 1985 at the end of Part 2, which we already saw at the end of Part 1. The scene now goes from Marty finishing talking to the Western Union representative, to Doc walking down the street after the DeLorean successfully made the trip forward in time to 1985. End of the abovementioned scene: I’ve used AI software to remove the music at the end, and added in the sound of the approaching storm from the beginning of Part 3. This scene now goes to the beginning of Part 3, albeit minus the opening credits. End credits for each film are there in full; I added title cards for each film (“Credits for Part 1”, “Credits for Part 2” etc.). I sped-up the end credits, so that they last two minutes each. Music for the end credits: “Back In Time” plays in full, as does the end credits music track from the end of Part 1. Added a “Fan Edit by Phase3” title card to the end credits.

Additional Notes:

There are subtitles for each film, sourced from an official Blu-ray release, which were edited to match the timing of the fan edit. In some instances I have made a few adjustments to the subtitles, to more accurately match the tone of the scene, or the emotion being expressed by the actor, as well as correcting spelling, grammar and punctuation in a few places. In some parts I’ve added in subtitles that the actors spoke, but were erroneously left out of the original subtitle files. There were also some instances of subtitles being completely different to what the actors said, so I’ve corrected that too.

Other Sources:

Introduction / Fan edit warning screen: I used parts of the teaser trailer, combined with separate SFX and music tracks. The audio from the trailer was put through an AI audio separation tool in order to extract pieces of SFX. Music for the end credits: “Back In Time” plays in full, as does the end credits music track from the end of Part 1.
