August 22nd marked the 37th anniversary of the release director Tobe Hooper‘s sequel to his 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A sequel appropriately titled The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (get it Here). Many fans celebrated the film with star Bill Moseley on social media – and the occasion inspired Moseley to reminisce about the moment when he ad-libbed one of the most popular lines in the film: “Lick my plate, you dog dick!”
In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Moseley played the maniacal goofball Chop Top, who is revealed to have had a metal plate placed in his head after he received a head wound during the Vietnam War. He wrote on Facebook, “Damn, a whole lotta love for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 yesterday on the occasion of its 37th birthday! Love the movie, love the memories, love Chop Top! Funny, I’ve done so many different characters over the years,...

A key component of just why many sequels don’t satisfy is that age old complaint of repetition. The Saw and Paranormal Activity franchises are just the latest examples of films which don’t do anything all that different from the first in their intent aside from new characters, more complex mythology and the odd new Usp, something which made Paranormal Activity 3 in particular a more interesting installment than it probably should have been with its oscillating camera. Looking at franchises past though, there are quite a few examples where box office and critical results have been disappointing because the sequels are just too different from the original. One of the prime examples of this is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, a film made by the director...

*full disclosure: a Blu-Ray copy of this film was provided by 20th Century Fox. Director: Tobe Hooper. Writers: Kim Henkel, Tobe Hooper and L.M. Kit Carson. Cast: Dennis Hopper, Caroline Williams, Jim Siedow, Bill Moseley, Bill Johnson, and Ken Evert. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) is a horror classic. This film created the standard from which future villains would mimic. The mask, the weapon, the terror, filmmakers would pay homage to this classic for decades and they still do today. Tobe Hooper's follow up to this film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, left an indelible mark on this film fan in 1986. However, Hooper's follow-up now seems tame compared to contemporary standards. Focusing on dark comedy, this sequel adds very little to the series. Only the ending involving dueling chainsaws creates tension, an element that is found more in the original. The story of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 again...
