Rob T Firefly said:

1/3 is correct. There are multiple named female characters in the film, but none of them have any dialogue together.

Pam H-B disagreed with the rating and said:

Part III does pass the test. Marty's mother(Lorraine) talks to his daughter (Marlene) about pizza.

Pam’s disagreement is incorrect — Marlene does not star in Part III. The only named female characters in Part III are Maggie McFly, Clara Clayton, Lorraine McFly, and Jennifer Parker; as Rob mentions above, none share dialogue together.
