Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe corpse that Chop-Top and Leatherface carry around with them and affectionately call 'Nubbins' (also appearing on the original cover art) is that of the hitchhiker from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Nubbins Sawyer.
- GoofsAt 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.
- Crazy creditsAt 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 versionsA new DVD version was released in Australia in late 2006 with all scenes corrected.

Featured review
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 !
