    • Quotes

      Sheriff Hoyt: [after shooting the sheriff of a small town] Damn, I just killed the entire police department!

    • Alternate versions
      The home media releases contains three alternate endings:
      • In this ending, Chrissie gets in the car after escaping from the meat factory and Leatherface is not in the back seat, but then Leatherface saws through the window with the chainsaw and he kills Chrissie.
      • This ending is the same as the theatrical ending, but Leatherface stabs Chrissie with a knife through her chest, instead of ramming the chainsaw through her stomach.
      • Also the same as the theatrical ending, but not with the voice over from John Larroquette, but with subtitles instead

    Good prequel to the 2003 movie
    How did the characters become who they became? This movie shows us how the Hewitt family began their reign of terror. The question I keep asking is this,,, who's the bigger 'main' monster? Is it Leatherface,, or the psychotic sheriff?!? While LF is definitely a monster,,, I'd say the Sheriff is the mastermind,,, The 'kids' who find themselves in this living nightmare were cast perfectly,,,

    Once again,,, if you are squeamish and can't differentiate the movie from reality,,, then this is not for you,,,
