Brief Synopsis:
Marty McFly must go back in time to the Wild West of 1885 to rescue his friend Doc Brown, who he has discovered is due for a fatal showdown with one of bad guy Biff's nasty ancestors.

One deleted scene have been masterfully reintegrated into the movie adding one more minute of footage. (kind of contradicts the title doesn't it?)
Intention:
To create a fuller, more complete version of Back to the Future Part III even if it's the less popular of the trilogy.
Other Sources:
- Back to the Future Part III (1990) Blu-Ray
- Back to the Future Part III NBC Broadcast (dated 12.12.1993) for the TV Dub track
Special Thanks:
jrWHAG42 for coming up with the name "For A Few Minutes More". An excellent idea to parody "For A Few Dollars More"
Release Information:
Digital

Editing Details:
I replaced a lot of the audio in the deleted scene, adding new gunshots and music to give the scene a bit more luster and emotion than it did before. I did regrade it to the best of my ability so that it'd fit in with the rest of the film, but there is still print damage that I can't fix.
Cuts and Additions:
- Added Fanedit.org and Bobson Dugnutt titlecards
- Regraded film to reduce red tint overall
- Cropped 2 shots where a crewperson and a lighting rig were in frame (32:37 and 1:24:04)
- Added deleted scene of Mad Dog killing Marshall Strickland

Back To The Future Part 3 is easily the perfect ending to this amazing trilogy. However, like the last two films, the original filmmakers will not release a extended cut of the movie. However, this is the closest.

The scene with Buford shooting Marshall Strickland made the film a bit darker, and also explains why the deputy shows up to arrest Buford Tannen instead of Marshall Strickland.

The least-favourite of my BTTF films, Bobson's small addition of the marshal-killing scene is nonetheless revelatory in that it shows me that, while the stakes are even more life-and-death here than in the two preceeding films (albeit less cosmic paradoxy), the tone is way too light, as if over-correcting from the bleakness of Part II. A bit more of Mad Dog Tannen's actual menace on-screen might have gone a long way to fixing that problem.

Regardless, I appreciate Bobson tacitly acknowledging that this is a slight edit (along with a couple of continuity tweaks) by including a charming TV-safe alternate audio track. Given that this is how I watched BTTF 3 for years, it's an unexpected extra bit of nostalgia. (Now if it just had some Chicken Tonight and 1-800-Collect commercials spliced in, it might feel even more like literal time travel...)

This is definitely an edit for BTTF fans, but the re-integrated scene of Biff killing the marshal isn't as pristine as I was hoping for. But it's nice seeing the scene re-instated. Great job.

I never get tired of Bobson Dugnutt edits.

As always... Almost flawless extended edit. Nothing to say much other than the new title says it all... For a Few Minutes More. In this case more of the Marshall Strickland murder scene.

Sure, it is not polished as the rest of the film, but it is well integrated. I don't mind the scratches in the deleted scene. Actually, I love scratches here and there and I suppose Bobson could not get a copy of the negative :)

To go straight to the point, I recommend this for any Back to Future fans.

The infamous murder of Marshall Strickland is integrated well, but visually this wasn't cleaned up half as well as it could have been, there are still visible lines and scratches in the footage, and it took me out of the immersion for the duration of the scene. Again, it's a great idea to expand BTTF III to a more complete version, but it'd be better to wait until one can properly address the issues with the footage they're using before integrating them.
