Back to the Future Part III (1990)
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
The final installment finds Marty digging the trusty DeLorean out of a mineshaft and looking for Doc in the Wild West of 1885. But when their time machine breaks down, the travelers are stranded in a land of spurs. More problems arise when Doc falls for pretty schoolteacher Clara Clayton, and Marty tangles with Buford Tannen.

What critics compared Back to the Future Part III to
Christopher Lloyd reprises his role as Doc Brown from Back to the Future Part III in a story set three years before Zemeckis’ comedy western, explaining away his time machine tinkering with an excuse from another instalment, “just a little weather experiment”.
An unflinching spoof that targets classic movie westerns of yore as well as life in the American West, circa 1882, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" is a spirited concoction that is one part "Blazing Saddles" and another part "Back to the Future Part III" as processed through the self-deprecating mind of Seth MacFarlane.
To make up, A Million Ways continually extrapolates on a small set of jokes: the use of cocaine as an ingredient in medicine (two instances); extended, Family Guy-style non-parodies (Back To The Future Part III, Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, and Django Unchained ); Old West people getting stoned (two instances, plus a drug-trip sequence); the fact that nobody smiles in early photos (four instances); a shooting gallery with “runaway slave” targets (enough for one shot, but used for an entire scene and a mid-credits stinger); the idea of a “devoutly Christian” prostitute who only practices abstinence with her fiancé (more than 10 instances); the social significance of mustaches in 19th-century culture (more than 10 instances, plus a musical number).
