After Biff gets his cane stuck in the DeLorean upon returning to 2015, he starts to thrash around in pain, apparently having a hard time from the exertion. Robert Zemeckis has stated that Biff was experiencing the same thing Marty did at the dance in the first movie: fading out of history. The idea was that, by going back in time to give the sports almanac to his younger self, Biff had somehow altered his own future so that he no longer existed in the year 2015. According to script drafts, Biff's wife (Marty's mother) had shot and killed the abusive Biff in 1996. A deleted scene in the DVD extras makes this much clearer as we actually see Biff vanish.
Back to the Future Part III, Robert Zemeckis again, again.

According to the book "Billy Gibbons: Rock & Roll Gearhead", ZZ Top was hanging around the set, and was asked to be the town band. During one take, the camera broke. While waiting for the camera to be repaired, Michael J. Fox asked if they would play "Hey Good Lookin'" which they did. Afterwards, more requests were played. Two hours later, someone inquired if the camera had been repaired. Robert Zemeckis replied that it had been fixed for quite a while, he just didn't want to stop the party that had evolved.
Marty uses a "Frisbie's" pie plate to knock a gun out of Mad Dog's hand. In 1871, the Frisbie Pie Company started in Connecticut. Their pie pans were thrown on the campus of Yale, and this eventually lead to the invention of Frisbees.

Debut of actress Barbara Windsor. It is also oft-cited as featuring the debut of actress Shirley Eaton, most famous for being the golden girl in Goldfinger (1964). But she has pointed out in interviews that she isn't even in it. People confuse her with Belinda Lee, who does appear in this film, because they look similar.

Professional dancer Yvonne De Carlo persuaded Director Anthony Kimmins to talk Sir Alec Guinness into doing the mambo with her in a night club sequence. Guinness, not usually thought of as a physical actor, consented to a week's worth of dance lessons from De Carlo and the sequence is one of this movie's highlights.
Quotes... dialogue..

Chief Officer Ricco: Madame 'Kalik' St. James: she's also in there.
Capt. Henry St. James: I'm quite aware of the fact.

Both Debbie Reynolds and Pat Boone accepted their roles in this filn in hopes the salacious and suggestive premise would help them shake off their squeaky clean, essentially asexual screen personas. Reynolds received some of the most unflattering reviews of her entire career, and Boone was not only dropped by 20th Century-Fox, but rarely played a starring role again ;)
This was remade in 1991 as Switch which was a better film imo.
Murder Most Foul, 1964. Directed by George Pollock. Margaret Rutherford and Ron Moody star.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....o5ngL._RI_.jpg
Like Murder at the Gallop (1963), this movie was adapted from an Hercule Poirot novel, the 1953 book "Mrs. McGinty's Dead".
There are various references to the work of William Shakespeare: the title hails from "Hamlet" Act I, Scene V (lines 27-28) where the Ghost speaks: "Murder most foul, as in the best it is;/But this most foul, strange, and unnatural."; a key phrase in this movie hails from "Romeo and Juliet" ("What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet" (Act II, Scene II)); and H. Driffold Cosgood alludes to "Macbeth"'s line "Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care" (Act II, Scene II, lines 34-35).
Now the remake of Goodbye Charlie.... Switch, 1991. Directed by Blake Edwards. Ellen Barkin and Jimmy Smits star.
