Trivia:
The hospital scene at the end features three actors from the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). John Dugan, who played Grandfather in the original film, is the cop. Paul A. Partain, who played Franklin Hardesty in the original film, is the orderly. Marilyn Burns, who played Sally Hardesty in the original film, is the patient on the gurney (credited as "Anonymous"). more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Leatherface gets Heather in the house, he grabs her and drags her down the hallway, as he enters a room, Heather grabs the sides of the doorway, to pull herself away from him. In the shot, you can see the wall to the right of the doorway has a mirror on the wall, nothing else, and on the counter below is a few lone light-bulbs and a coke can. However in the next shot, so many objects appear. There's now meat-hooks, chains and belts hanging on the wall either side of the mirror, and the counter is now covered in canisters, metal barrels and boxes. more
Quotes:

A happy folow up., 13 October 1999
9/10
Author: franco-28 from USA

Here we get to see the 4th sequel to the famed movie of this title. There are many addtionals that didnt make it in the first 1 such as the fact that leatherface was a cross-dresser. Renee Zellwegger, & Matthwew McConaughey both give great performances in this movie, there are some pretty creepy scenes in here. I enjoyed this flick in that it had some ideas based on the first 1 only expanded. The sick family having their usual spats, the flirtations, their dinner. I recomend this film to horror fans.
