"Looks like he stole that off of a dead Chinese!"

—Jeb comments on Marty's outfit when he visits the Palace Saloon after he arrives in 1885

"Run for fun? What the hell kind of fun is that?"

—Jeb laughs at Doc Brown's description of the future

"You better face up to it, son, because if you don't go out there..."

—Jeb tells Marty McFly a.k.a. Clint Eastwood

Jeb was one of three old-timers in his seventies that frequented the Palace Saloon in 1885. He had a black moustache which drooped over his mouth.

Behind the scenesEdit

Jeb was portrayed by late legendary veteran western actor Pat Buttram. He is referred to as "Saloon Old-Timer #3" in the film credits, but his name is mentioned in the novelization by Craig Shaw Gardner.

Jeb's reference to the "dead Chinese" may have been to the events of the previous day in real history, September 2, 1885, when, in Rock Springs, Wyoming, 150 white miners attacked and killed their Chinese co-workers. ^[1]
