Back to The Future Part III Easter Egg - Tres Hombres

As many people know, ZZ Top performed a couple of songs for the movie. In the scene of the town dance, the three musicians are none other than ZZ Top. Although they are playing some rather unconventional instruments, the tune they are playing is an acoustic version of the song "Doubleback." They even spin their instruments, much like the way they spin their guitars on several of their videos.

I don't really think that's an egg. Marty notices the simularities of the band in the past to his time, 1985. And 'you' are supposed to notice that 'he' notices. Eggs, I thought, are supposed to be hidden. :-)

Not always. If he actually said, "they're just like zz top" Then it would be a cameo.

Actually, ZZtop was type-cast in that part, the guys mention this in their greatest hits album.

A little add-on, not too eggy. When Marty comes "back to the future" he's challenged to race with his pick up truck at a lightstop. The challenger is no other than Flea, the bass player of the Red Hot Chili Peppers...not too eggy because it's in the credits...

After Marty successfully makes it back to 1985 for the last time, as he is on the railroad he passes a sign that reads "Eastwood Ravine". Formally known as Clanton (Shonash) Ravine.

also - if you notice when MAD DOG TANNON is hanging MARTY, they show a close up of MARTY being lifted by the rope, look towards hi feet, you will see a HAND holding him up for a SPLIT SECOND.
