That was actually one of the satirical elements that doesn't translate as well. The whole Stretch/Leatherface thing was meant to be a goof on the John Hughes trope of the "popular" girl falling for the guy from the "wrong side of the tracks" ( think Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson in Breakfast Club. That was the intent anyway but it doesn't quite work (doesn't help most don't care about John Hughes movies anymore. Certainly not horror fans anyway)
@@brandonhendrix7223 CHAINSAW 2 was rushed so fast through shooting and post production that it's a miracle it makes any sense at all. It had to open in theatres on August 22nd (the theaters were promised a year in advance) and they didn't start shooting until the first week of May! That's a ridiculously short amount of time to shoot and finish a film. I'm sure if Tobe had more time he would have gotten those satirical elements across, like how he said he wanted to make a "anti Yuppie" statement but the only Yuppies are the first two guys in the car. Tom Savini has also complained that the editor ruined some of the death scenes through sloppy cutting and they had to drop the scene where the Family kills all the football players in the garage because Tobe was so pressed for time he had an assistant direct that scene and Cannon hated it. It's hard to tell from the workprint but that scene does look kind of amateurish compared to the rest of the film.
I watched this movie yesterday, and my god I loved it so much. I could tell the people who worked on it loved what they did and put so much effort in it. I have so much respect for all these people.
He was though just a lot of his character was cut from the movie the deleted scenes has a lot of him especially the parking lot scenes also shame we’ll never see the deleted dream sequence with Lefty
This film would be in the top five films produced by Cannon Films for me . My Favorite Cannon Films release was Invasion USA, followed by Bloodsport , then this one .
@@claireashton4696 You're completely right. Tom Savini explained in detail how the editing was rushed and fucked up many scenes, and there were those scenes where the Sawyers massacred football fans in a garage and Joe Bob Briggs outside of a movie theater. They were so rushed that those scenes were directed by a second unit director, and Tobe Hooper hated how they came out and cut them. The middle of the film suffers from not having those scenes.
I’ve always loved this film!! It’s certainly the most fun entry in the series ! Where the first was a balls to the wall terrifying horror masterpiece, this film was just a funny, over the top gore fest that didn’t take itself too seriously. Kudos to Tobe for not just wanting to copy what he did before and try to do something fresh and different 😁
This movie is absolute GENIUS!!!! So damn funny!! Chop Top and The cook had the best lines!!! I’ve seen it 100 times it seems and I still laugh like it’s the first time watching it!!
R.I.P. Tobe Hooper, my fourth favorite director after Robert Zemeckis, Joe Johnston, and Jeff Burr:( Wow, HOW long ago was it that I rented this one to see every movie in the series up to the present?! SOMEwhere between 2003 and 2005...Netflix 3-DVDs-at-a-time...haven't watched it SINCE! They got to live in an abandoned amusement park...I WANT TO DO THAT, especially with all of the articles and videos of people exploring them all over the place:) Stretch totally became a blackjack dealer in Vegas, changed her name to Loretta, put on a little weight, and got blown up through 'Leprechaun body enlargement surgery' after getting her wish to be beautiful! But first in Stepfather II she totally figured out he was living under a fake identity:) I wish they would play this one on SyFy, everything else in the franchise except the first one has been on it! Or Comet, actually, even better!
Lou Perryman, the actor who played Stretch's radio partner was actually brutally murdered with an axe. That's crazy. Poor guy was tortured, skinned and murdered in the movie only to be butchered for real.
That’s so messed up. The man who murdered him did so because he was off his meds, as a hospital even turned him away when his family tried to get him back on his meds. To think if the hospital had acted appropriately - maybe Perryman would have lived.
If it weren't for this movie, 'TCM2', Rob Zombie would have never had anything to plagiarize. Altho he did a tighter job directing 'House...' & 'Rejects', and perfectly used Bill Mosely's talent.
Production designers are the unsung heroes of most movies while everyone celebrates the actors, celebrates the film score, no one ever really stops to think about who designed the areas at which the movie was filmed or who picked said spots or neighborhoods for filming
I am 30, so I didn’t grow up when this was new, but when I was in high school, these movies are pretty much all I watched. So I definitely have an appreciation for this kind of thing. And I have a question. How the hell did they ever determine that lefty is stretches illegitimate father? I never caught onto that at all in the movie. I’m lost.
I love this screenwriter. I love how he discusses it like one of his creative children, delving into their unique personality, and all the way strategic elements you thought were just absurd last minute improvisations. I respect this movie more now with a little context.
Definitely one of the only horror films that really did freak me out, the low production value but still well written and captured score- almost like a soap opera porn, to the amazing set design. The least cheesy horror comedy I’ve seen
Born in 1982 and this is one of my favorite ones outta the franchise!! So old school I still have it on vhs and still own a vhs/DVD player! About to watch it now!!
Filming began in May 1986, approximately 35 years ago. R.I.P. Lou Perryman, Perryman was killed in his home in Austin, Texas on April 1, 2009 by a 26-year-old man named Seth Christopher Tatum.
Strangely enough, i think Grandpa creeped me out the most. Choptop's picking around his headplate scab didn't freak me out... hell, who hasn't picked a scab... and maybe put a tongue to the wound? But then I think of Grandpa who goes from catatonic to lustfully excited at the possibility of bashing in the head of a pretty gal... and eating her. Ugh.
I'm sure I'm being a Captain Obvious, and EVERYONE already knows this....but the corpse Chop Top drags around the whole movie is the Hitchhiker that for ran over by a semi in the Original...
Some fans were confused because the early articles on the film before it started shooting said that ChopTop WAS the Hitchhiker, and that they tried to get Ed Neal back for the character. He would have had the metal plate in his head from getting run over by the truck at the end of the first CHAINSAW. Either the filmmakers misspoke or they decided to make him the brother of the Hitchhiker since Bill Moseley was replacing Ed Neal.
when i first watched the original TCM, it was just as TCM2 was hitting ''home video". so i saw them very close together. this was very early in my horror movie watching career. TCM scared the living piss out of me. TCM2........i was scared just putting the tape in the VCR. then the movie played............... look....ultimately, i do enjoy TCM2, but, it took me years to get to that point. certainly not expecting a comedy.......i fully believe that had it been the same movie, but done in a straight horror vein, it couldve ended my aforementioned horror movie watching career. beyond all that though.........caroline's legs..........oh yeah.
4 года назад+1
19 likes for Carolines legs lol dude, look at Eaten Alive. If Hooper had followed up TCM sooner with a similar style it could have been amazing. Instead....we got this. Let's face it. Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2 is rubbish. It's controversial in horror culture to say so, but it is. It's garbage compared to the original. I'd rank III, The Beginning, hell, even the remake over this. I actually felt embarrassed watching it at times.
You know when I first saw this movie about 20 yrs ago I remember being very disappointed in it. But over the years I grew to appreciate the dark humor, the chop top character, the over the topness of it. I get it now
How could I forget those legs and asset's on Caroline. Siedow was great, Johnson has grown on me as leatherface, Lou was good. Dennis was a little over the top for me but he nailed it
This is one of the rare films I did not particularly enjoy watching but it still fascinates me to the point where I watch a 1h doc about its production 😜
I love this movie it was very funny, and a good movie to watch. The music they chose to put in the movie is amazing. The minute i was listening to the music while watching the movie i immediately start searching up the song names. And when i found the songs i was so happy. The characters in this movie were good my favorites were L jean, strecth, choptop, and leatherface. I was not expecting that leatherface would have some type of crush on stretch. Which i like thatbthey did that it adds a good touch to the movie and to the horror movie franchise. This movies never gets boring for me and it will always make me happy
It will always be a crying shame that they never did a real sequel to the original in the later 70s or early 80s. Who didn't wanna know what happened to Leatherface after that insane masterpiece??
@@breal1183 This is a sequel to the original. It's not a reboot or anything, this is literally supposed to be the same family from the original film. Hooper said that he always planned it to be a comedy; he might have had a different story idea in the late 70's but it was still going to be in the tone of this film. He never wanted to do a sequel that was like the original film. I think the idea in the 70's was called "Beyond The Valley Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and he said he might have even made it a musical!
First time I saw this I thought it was complete garbage and I wanted it to END! Then a few years later I watched it again and I was blown away. Because I watched it without expecting a continuation of part 1. This is its own movie and now MY FAVORITE of the two originals! This movie is insane, silly, gory, fun, and ICONIC!! And Bill Mosley is a national treasure!!!!!
Bob Elmores credit was stolen for this film he literally done all of leather face throughout the entire film. Deserves more recognition. Bill Johnson wasn’t even in the chainsaw scene he literally done like 4 shots.
I developed an immediate crush on "Stretch" (Caroline Williams) when I first saw the movie in a Tempe, AZ. theater in 1986. I still think she looks great.
Is he still wearing the same outfit? Unless they carried him around all these years to? Which obviously they have to. They don’t live in the same house anymore, and wasn’t he killed on the hill? Makes some sense if you think about it.
I introduced this movie to my parents not too long ago. Luckily, they laughed when they were supposed to, but it didn't disturb them like the first movie did. My mother described TCM 2 as "pure adrenaline," and my father said he needed to sleep.
Chainsaw 2 was a classic. I grew up in the 80’s, and my friends and I would always watch this late at night. After rewatching it as an adult, I can say for certain: it’s a fantastic movie…..for what it is, which is a whacky dark comedy. The acting is phenomenal. Especially Bill Mosley and Dennis Hopper.
Kinda weird to hear them talk about how professional and determined Dennis Hopper was in the part, yet he would go onto say this was one of the worst movies he’d ever done.
This movie certainly didn't seem like a comedy, it felt like a twisted expedition into murderous lunacy and that's why it's so appealing to me. It's a thrill ride with a ton of gratuitous gory payoffs. It's intriguing from beginning to climax and doesn't let up, you are always uneasy and edge of your seat. The rich, lush film stock is so vibrant, you can smell the environs; I smell the cuminy chile, brown sugar BBQ. The film is drenched in this strawberry incense smell that the video store had. It is movie magic
I liked the sequel better too. But then again, as a kid in the 80s during that era of horror movies. The first movie just seemed too slow not gory enough..what can I say, us kids got desensitized early.
neoasura How can, anyone like the second film better than the original? And it takes a lot more than just Gore to make a good horror film even Tobe Hooper said that this is a dark comedy.
One of the best things you can do for a truly original sequel is deconstruct, even make fun of, the original. TCM2 is brilliant in its own way, I think, and it’s quite similar to another of my favourite horror movies, ‘House of 1000 Corpses’.
I rate the second one as one of my favourites. It's gory, it's still horror, but with a huge amount of cheddar cheese, and still a history link to the first movie. After #3, it just got confusing, messy and money making from the name. The first 3 are cult classics, and always will be. What most freaks me out, is Leatherface's screaming, and body language. It's the rawness of a character that is insane, disabled and an absolute psychopath.
terrific point you make on bubba's behavior in 1 & 2 (part 3 and the rest all suck, they never should've been made: cheap, fly-by-night junk, style over substance, trying to cash in on the franchise name) my theory is that since 1988, hollyweirds gradually been hijacked by feminists (tipper gore congressional hearings were the beginning) pure chillers/horror pics designed to unsettle the audience, making them uncomfortable, featuring realistically disturbing oddball characters are no longer being produced, despite tons of quality scripts written over the decades that never got picked up by an major film studios, continuing to languish on the shelves collecting dust. these "new" studio executives (example is paramount pictures red china commies) find that too chauvinistic, too graphic, too terrorizing, etcetera... its too bad independent, renegade-type film companies like cannon are no longer in business
back to say something else. Last night began watching Lou Perryman in "the whole shootin match" . It's because of this movie I am a fan of Lou Perryman darlin'.
One of the greatest films ever made i have seen this well over one hundred times and I'm going to watch it one hundred more before i pass on. Everything about this show is great i own it i love this retrospective i watch it frequently as well. I'm not sure but i think bill mosley as chop top is one of the greatest most quotable characters is the history of movies. Chainsaw fan for life
Anyone who is watching this, or is a hardcore Horror fan like me (since 1982) is cool in my book....
Since 1974
Haha 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I'm 35 horror fan since 10 ha
its my fav horror movie of all time
Moseley.. a freakin genius
I considered this movie to be a forbidden love story between Stretch and Leatherface.
Gone with the saw !
How lol

@Dench2020 LOL, I do have others.
saddens me Jim Siedow wasn't in enough, his acting ability is amazing
Metaluna Zombie he embodied ‘the cook’, as simple as that.
he was something else wan't he?? he is the best at acting like a scary creep ive ever seen.
He made the movie, his one-liners were priceless...
@@leebrandon3842 he only did 3 other movie roles and one tv show episode, outside of the TCM franchise, which is a shame.
He was though just a lot of his character was cut from the movie the deleted scenes has a lot of him especially the parking lot scenes also shame we’ll never see the deleted dream sequence with Lefty
So.....Stretch, being Lefty's daughter, would make her cousins of Sally and Franklin? 😳 Whoa
that was to be the storyline, but after Canon cut the budget by 1 million it didn’t make it into the script
This is one of the best pictures Cannon ever made.
I'm sorry but I disagree. I think Highlander was the best film ever made cannon film.
Ive heard cannon fucked up the movie and loads of original footage was lost because of them... does anybody know if it is true?
Sorry, but 'Ninja 3: The Domination'/'Lifeforce' takes that cake 🤘😂🤘

This was a very good sequel. It is for sure a dark comedy (hence the poster and Breakfast Club parody) but also a very disturbing horror slasher too.
i love texas chainsaw massacre 2 ❤❤❤❤
Definitely 💯
The underground set was amazing. Dog will hunt!
YES ! YES ! BORN IN 73 MY FIRST HORROR FLICK THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
Me too, born UK 1973, my friend's family had a video library (pre certification age), got to see alot of good movies that way..
Better love story than Twilight
The makeup guy , wasn’t he in dusk till dawn bar scene? The crotch revolver dude?
Kinda weird to hear them talk about how professional and determined Dennis Hopper was in the part, yet he would go onto say this was one of the worst movies he’d ever done.
@linken23 a mí se me hace que mintieron jaja
46:05 anyone else seeing peter steele from ton there?
I love this film , top 3 horror films of all time for me. Poor LG murdered for his car, that sucks , he seemed like a really nice guy
I loved Bill Mosley who played Chop Top
TCSM2 IS AWESOME, CREEPY, SCARY...FUN!
This movie certainly didn't seem like a comedy, it felt like a twisted expedition into murderous lunacy and that's why it's so appealing to me. It's a thrill ride with a ton of gratuitous gory payoffs. It's intriguing from beginning to climax and doesn't let up, you are always uneasy and edge of your seat.
The rich, lush film stock is so vibrant, you can smell the environs; I smell the cuminy chile, brown sugar BBQ.
The film is drenched in this strawberry incense smell that the video store had. It is movie magic
It’s my favorite out of all of them idc
I actually prefer the sequel
CazzSDMF To each there own...I love the sequel...just don't know how you like it better..
I liked the sequel better too. But then again, as a kid in the 80s during that era of horror movies. The first movie just seemed too slow not gory enough..what can I say, us kids got desensitized early.
neoasura How can, anyone like the second film better than the original? And it takes a lot more than just Gore to make a good horror film even Tobe Hooper said that this is a dark comedy.
Agree.
I also like the 2nd better although I'm aware the impact of the first one was great. The 3rd one is awesome to .
BUBBA SAWYER
One of the best things you can do for a truly original sequel is deconstruct, even make fun of, the original. TCM2 is brilliant in its own way, I think, and it’s quite similar to another of my favourite horror movies, ‘House of 1000 Corpses’.
Who that some new Health food bunch 😂😂
"Its the Devils playground"
who was narrator in beginning of movie, I could almost swear it sounds like kelsey grammer. it don't show it on imdb
John Laraquette
@@chriscolbert4556 John Laroquette is from original and this one is another.
We're taking a million out of your budget.
What the shit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I rate the second one as one of my favourites. It's gory, it's still horror, but with a huge amount of cheddar cheese, and still a history link to the first movie.
After #3, it just got confusing, messy and money making from the name.
The first 3 are cult classics, and always will be.
What most freaks me out, is Leatherface's screaming, and body language. It's the rawness of a character that is insane, disabled and an absolute psychopath.
terrific point you make on bubba's behavior in 1 & 2 (part 3 and the rest all suck, they never should've been made: cheap, fly-by-night junk, style over substance, trying to cash in on the franchise name)
my theory is that since 1988, hollyweirds gradually been hijacked by feminists (tipper gore congressional hearings were the beginning)
pure chillers/horror pics designed to unsettle the audience, making them uncomfortable, featuring realistically disturbing oddball characters are no longer being produced, despite tons of quality scripts written over the decades that never got picked up by an major film studios, continuing to languish on the shelves collecting dust.
these "new" studio executives (example is paramount pictures red china commies) find that too chauvinistic, too graphic, too terrorizing, etcetera... its too bad independent, renegade-type film companies like cannon are no longer in business
The saw is family!
back to say something else. Last night began watching Lou Perryman in "the whole shootin match" . It's because of this movie I am a fan of Lou Perryman darlin'.
Caroline Williams was a much hotter Jamie Lee Curtis.
TCM2 is like a rob zombie movie
PLEASE DO NOT INSULT TCM2 BY SAYING ITS LIKE A FUCKING ROB ZOMBIE MOVIE!!!
@@coyleigh2860 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Put down that pipe..Hooper will crush RZ
he fucking wishes lol if it wasn't for people like Tobe and John Carpenter he wouldn't have anyone to rip off
The mask design for leatherface was so goofy in this
Yes yes yes , good making of . Waw . Thanks
One of the greatest films ever made i have seen this well over one hundred times and I'm going to watch it one hundred more before i pass on. Everything about this show is great i own it i love this retrospective i watch it frequently as well. I'm not sure but i think bill mosley as chop top is one of the greatest most quotable characters is the history of movies. Chainsaw fan for life
bill moseley rules
For all the Hassles they made a great movie..
Good movie Tobe,but your best still the original!
why is this movie so hard to find? i cant even find a cheap used copy on dvd
I got damn lucky. I found it in a five dollar bargain bin at Walmart in 2007. I actually saw this one before I saw the first one.
Starz free trial on hulu
First two are on Tubi Tv for free
I found it on DVD at a FYE for $3 a few years ago. Guess it's the luck of the draw, hope you can find (or found) a copy of it
@@CaseyScoffieldWOW same
They all gave 100% and brought their own unique takes.
For me the best episode !
They could have made it scarier (it was not) but like most sequels it becomes slapstick and in the category of slapstick this is a masterpiece!
Lou,, :(
poor guy
Great sequel.
