Over three decades later, fans of Back to the Future are still finding new things to love about the trilogy of movies.

One such example was noted on Reddit. The user in question took a close look at the bandit mask that Doc Brown wore during the train heist scene in Back to the Future Part III.

The fan noticed that the bandit mask is actually made up of a shirt that Doc Brown wore in Back to the Future Part II during his and Marty's trip to 2015. The shirt actually foreshadows Doc and Marty's trip to the old west in Back to the Future Part III as the pattern on the shirt involves trains and horses at sunset.

Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III were each filmed back to back, and the shirt was created by the costume designer specifically for the film appears to be a bit of very intentional foreshadowing of things to come.

In Back to the Future Part II, in this zany sequel, time-traveling duo Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) return from saving Marty's future son from disaster, only to discover their own time transformed. In this nightmarish version of Hill Valley, Marty's father has been murdered and Biff Tannen, Marty's nemesis, has profited. After uncovering the secret to Biff's success -- a sports almanac from the future -- Marty and the Doc embark on a quest to repair the space-time continuum.

In Back to the Future Part III, in this final chapter, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) obtains a 70-year-old message from the time-traveling Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), in which he informs Marty that he has retired to a small town in the Old West. Marty then finds out that the Doc was murdered shortly after sending the letter. In order to save his friend, Marty will have to travel back in time, disentangle a lovestruck Doc from a local schoolmarm, and repair the DeLorean -- all while avoiding a posse of gunslingers.
