Although the wait between the first and second Back to the future films were torturous for some, fans didn't have to wait long to Back to the Future, Part III (and for good reason). The popular and acclaimed franchise, created by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, follows Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd's Doc Brown, an unlikely pair of time travelers. Throughout the three films, Marty and Doc find themselves in various precarious situations, whether in the past, present or future. In Back to the Future, Part IIIMarty and Doc travel to 1885.
After the end of Back to the future part II, Back to the Future, Part III continues exactly where the previous film left off with Marty working to save Doc, who is trapped in 1885. However, upon arriving there, Marty realizes that returning home with Doc will be more complicated than he thought. Even so, the third Back to the future The film ends the franchise's history. Zemeckis, Fox, and Lloyd have never collaborated on another project set in this universe, which makes sense after they worked twice as hard to make the second and third films.
Back to the Future 2 and 3 were filmed back to back
The cast and crew worked on both films back to back
Instead of following the traditional path and having Back to the future part II and Back to the Future, Part III Although they were separate productions, Robert Zemeckis and the studio decided to film them back-to-back. Many franchise films have done this over the years to save time and money. Films like The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutionsetc. they were also filmed back-to-back.

Back to the future (the first) was so successful upon its release in 1985 that Universal Pictures was desperate for more. However, the sequel's script was so long that they had to split it into two films (for The Guardian). As a result, the film series became a trilogy. Given the circumstances, it was apparently easier to film Back to the future part II and Back to the Future, Part III back to back, which is why the third film premiered right after the second.
Why Back to the Future 2 took so long after the first film
Pre-production took a long time
Although Back to the Future, Part III debuted shortly after Back to the future part IIthe difference between the first and second film was much greater. Fans had to wait four years for the first sequel, but the long wait makes sense. The writers needed time to develop the script, while the team had to build huge sets. They had to be prepared to shoot the films back-to-back instead of rushing into it. Thus, principal photography began in early 1989 and was completed early enough to be released. Back to the future part II in November and Back to the Future, Part III in May 1990.
