    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The corpse that Chop-Top and Leatherface carry around with them (also appearing on the original cover art) is that of the hitchhiker from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).
    • Goofs
      At the very beginning of the movie, the narrator is telling the story of what happened in the original movie. He states that the group was driving a Volkswagon van when they encountered the killers. That is not true; they were driving a Ford Econoline Van.
    • Quotes

      Drayton: [to Leatherface] You have one choice, boy: sex or the saw. Sex is, well... nobody knows. But the saw... the saw is family.

    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the closing credits, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre logo appears briefly and the end title song is replaced by a loud chainsaw buzz noise.
    • Alternate versions
      A new DVD version was released in Australia in late 2006 with all scenes corrected.
    • Connections
      Featured in Vary-glykos... kai meraklis (1988)

    Fitting Sequel
    Very similar to the first movie,some of the actors even

    look the same ( those that survived first time round ). Granpa must be really old by now and he just cannot bring that hammer down with enough force to split the young ladies' head apart. I seem to remember him having the same trouble in the first film. The sets for the last half hour are really spaced out and I wonder where they shot it. There is more comedy and tongue-in-cheek humour than in the original film, and the glorifying of the chain saw as a "sacred" object is obviously pushed further! I reckon the directer wanted to get a few things across that he regretted not having put in the original film ! Picture quality is obviously better than first time round. I would say that what is missing is the novelty effect but with a sequel we obviously cannot expect that. If you liked the original movie, then this one shouldn't disappoint too much. I wonder what happened to Dennis Hopper in the end !
