Quotes:

  • Lefty: One of those boys was so crazy he sawed his own head off going 90 miles per hour.
     
  • Drayton: You have one choice, boy: sex or the saw! Sex is, well, nobody knows. But the saw, the saw is family!
     
  • Chop Top: Burn her like a rat! Burn her like a rat!
     
  • Chop Top: Peel that pig and slice him thick.
     

Trivia:

  • Tobe Hooper has a cameo frolicking during a party scene
     
  • Director, Tobe Hooper and co-writer of the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Kim Henkel originally had an idea for a sequel that would feature an entire town of cannibals. The title of that sequel was to be Beyond The Valley Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it never came to fruition.
     
  • When the BBFC notified Cannon that at least 20 minutes, and possibly 25, would have to be trimmed, Cannon aborted its plans for a planned U.K. release in 1990.
     
  • The "family group shot," as seen in the advertisements, posters and video covers, uses the same positioning as the promotional group shot for the movie The Breakfast Club.
     
  • A poster can be seen on the wall in the radio station for the band "Fine Young Cannibals."
     

Credits Fun:

  • 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
