History Awesome / BackToTheFuturePartIII

* The legacy of Clint Eastwood, according to Hill Valley. He showed up one day dressed like a complete fool, ran afoul of the biggest outlaw the town knew, shot every target in a shooting gallery (having learned in some place called 'Seven Eleven', apparently), saved the local blacksmith's life by throwing a pie plate at the savage outlaw that very same night, got in a gunfight with him in the middle of the street on Monday morning, and by 8:30 had taken the guy down without firing a single bullet, but by actually DEFLECTING a bullet using an old stove door, which he then used to lay a beat-down on the guy. And to cap it all, he went out in a blaze of glory in a fashion that Butch & Sundance would've been proud of: the guy hijacked a train, unhooked the cars so it was just him, blew the engine up and rode it right into Shonash Ravine, where it blew up and killed him, in an event so epic they renamed it in memory of him. Hell, maybe a San Fran woman named Ruth decided to name [[Creator/ClintEastwood her baby]] after the legend...

* Doc shows up at the end of the movie in a TIME-TRAVELING FLYING STEAM TRAIN. Let's face it--[[MadScientist Doc's COOL]]. And a nice shoutout to his prior time machine: the Time Machine Locomotive features gull-wing doors!

*** Oh, and one last thing: during the fight, Marty sends Tannen straight into the pre-engraving tombstone that marked Doc's grave in 1955, and would've become Marty's had he lost, with enough force to ''break it in half!'' And the icing on the cake? The picture of the tombstone shows it fading away, leaving nothing but an empty plot!

-->'''Buford:''' Smile, Marshal. After all, this is a party.

* When Marty [=McFly=] [[CharacterDevelopment finally overcomes his]] BerserkButton and decides ''not'' to fight Buford Tannen over being called a 'chicken' (or "yellow", as in "yellow as a canary's belly")--because, in Marty's words, "He's an ''asshole'' [[note]]Or "idiot" in television broadcasts[[/note]]! I don't care what Tannen says, and I don't care what anybody else says, either!" Notice Sheamus nodding approvingly. He gets that "Mr Eastwood" finally gets it and isn't resigned to repeat his brother Martin's fate.

Hell, maybe that legend was so famous that some actor 50 years later decided to use it as a stage name...

I don't care what Tannen says, and I don't care what anybody else says, either!"

* When Buford had a derringer gun to Doc's back, what does the latter do? He turns around to face Buford in order to [[ScrewDestiny defy his destiny]] (he originally died from a bullet to his back). If he's going to die, he's going to do it [[FaceDeathWithDignity facing death with dignity]]. He also doesn't hesitate to scream and try and charge Buford when he shoves Clara to the ground, despite being at a clear disadvantage.

* Doc's [[FaceDeathWithDignity attitude]] when Buford captures him. When Tannen tries to lure Marty out for a gunfight by threatening to kill Doc if he doesn't show, Doc yells to his friend to stay away and save himself. When Buford levels a gun at him, he takes it without flinching.
