Great review man, the background story is tremendously interesting, thanks for sharing. TCM 3 is actually my second favorite TCM movie.
hey I remember renting the VHS at video depot back in the day along with two or three other movies. Of course I was a kid not seeing the short coming of the production so it didn't matter for me this movie was totally awesome.
Caroline Williams reprises her role as Stretch from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) in a cameo as a news reporter. Director Jeff Burr said he imagined Stretch becoming a reporter following the trauma she experienced in the second movie in an attempt to hunt down Leatherface.
Director Jeff Burr was fired at the beginning of production. When nobody else accepted the job, he was rehired. He claims that he was probably the 50th director offered the job, as names like John McNaughton, Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi, Tom Savini, Scott Spiegel, Renny Harlin, and many others had all turned it down. He also claimed that New Line forbade him from talking to Tobe Hooper but never found out why.
Film trailer was done before they even had a director and before the production started.
Submitted 11 times to the MPAA. On each submission, more and more footage was cut out, some of which was lost forever.
The original script was much more brutal with explicit gore sequences. The producers objected to many of the scenes (one of which had a nude man being split down the middle while hung upside down) and demanded extensive changes to the script to reduce gore and violence. Further cuts had to be made to avoid an X-rating after the film was finished.
This was the final movie to be given an "X" certificate by the MPAA before the rating was replaced with "NC-17".
The house from this movie was also used in Alice Cooper's "House of Fire" music video.
New Line picked up the rights to the series, hoping that if successful, Leatherface would replace their soon to be completed "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series. The box-office disappointment of this film caused New Line to let their option on the material expire.
Kane Hodder - whose best-known role is that of another horror icon, Jason Voorhees - was the stunt coordinator for this movie. He was also R.A. Mihailoff's stunt double and played Leatherface in the trailer.
There was also supposed to be a brutal "unmasking" scene, which would reveal Leatherface as horribly disfigured. That scene was scrapped (despite an obvious buildup during the opening credits) and saved because New Line wanted to use it in the next sequel, which never materialised. It was eventually used in the remake The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003).
Property master Paul Byers designed the chromium Excalibur chainsaws for the film and was paid $3,000 for each.
Three chainsaws were used for the movie, each of which had a plastic dummy replica.
The opening scene, in which Leatherface creates his new flesh mask, is a homage to A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Freddy is seen creating his razor-blade glove in the opening scene of NOES. This is due to New Line Cinema making TCM III after obtaining the rights to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre title and characters.
Director Jeff Burr wanted to shoot the film in Texas using 16 mm film just like the original, but New Line rejected the idea because they had already built the house in California.
Tom Savini was offered the job of directing this film
The chainsaw in the movie weighed approximately 80 pounds.
The ranch where most of the filming was done is so close to the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park that director Jeff Burr swears you can hear screams from the rollercoaster during some takes.
Leatherface is never referred to as Leatherface he's always referred to by his family simply as "Junior".
Director Jeff Burr wanted Gunnar Hansen to return to the role of Leatherface, but neither party could come to an agreement on salary. Burr eventually settled on R.A. Mihailoff.
Among others, one of New Line's first choices for director was Peter Jackson.
The only Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie not filmed in Texas (it was filmed outside Los Angeles, California). Farmhouse and gas station were sets built for the film.
obe Hooper, director of the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), was originally going to be involved in the film. He had submitted a treatment to New Line execs, but bowed out of the project due to scheduling conflicts concerning his film Spontaneous Combustion (1989).
The armadillo hit by Michelle and the coyote thrown on the Mercedes both have earrings, the same as worn by Tinker.
The song that plays when Leatherface jumps in his pickup truck and bears down on his victims in the pond is "Bored" by San Francisco thrashers, Death Angel.
In the teaser trailer, Leatherface is portrayed by actor Kane Hodder, who would eventually be the stunt co-ordinator and R.A. Mihailoff's (Leatherface) stunt double for the movie itself. This isn't Hodder's first time playing an iconic horror villain; he played Jason Voorhees from 1988 to 2001, and even donned Freddy Krueger's iconic bladed glove for a scene in Jason Goes to Hell (1993).
When Tex points out that the road map was printed in 1973, this is a reference to the first film, which was filmed in and is based on events that supposedly took place in summer 1973.
Jon Hess lobbied to direct the movie, but New Line felt his ideas were too dark and gruesome.
Leatherface's speaking toy is a PC Pal, made by Texas Instruments.
The film was originally going to have Grandpa Sawyer to not only survive, but speak for the first time in the series' history, turning out to be quite talkative when in the mood and tending to ramble on about the good old days. For unknown reasons, it was decided to have him be a real corpse in this entry.
There was actually a series of forest fires in Valencia, California, during filming. This prompted the crew to scramble and work hard to get the burnt forest out of the shots during filming. They even went to the extreme of not lighting the background so that the burnt-out trees would not be visible.
Viggo Mortensen played Tex as though he were secretly gay.
Originally slated for a November 3rd, 1989 release, the release date was soon pushed to January 12th of the following year.
Tinker's death by bleeding out from his bullet wounds was cut from the film, leaving his fate a mystery.
Leatherfaces chainsaw is a Stihl 066 magnum. This saw was built and cromed out by a dealer in Ca. It had a custom built 36" bar. these saws were built from 1987 to 1996.
William Butler and Jennifer Banko were both in Friday The 13th 7: The New Blood.
Ken Foree was in Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007). Duane Whitaker and Caroline Williams were both in Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 (2009).
William Butler was in the remake of The Night of the Living Dead (1990), Ken Foree was in the sequel to the original 1968 classic Dawn of the Dead (1978).
Initially refused any classification by the British Board of Film Censors, thereby killing off any prospects of a cinematic release. It has since been reclassified to 18 for home video and DVD release.
The poorest performing film in the series up until the release of Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994).
R.A. Milhailoff is the first left-handed actor to portray Leatherface.
William Butler (Ryan) was in Friday the 13th part VII: The New Blood (1988) in which his character gets killed by Jason Voorhees, Joe Unger was in the original Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) in which he played a small role as a cop both Freddy and Jason would come together in Freddy vs Jason (2003).
Jeff Burr wanted his name removed from the film, but was told that the first reel of the film had already been printed, so there were already 1,500 prints of the beginning of the film with his name on them. Burr also said there was never a "director's cut" of the film because it was constantly being submitted to the MPAA and so was always being re-edited to try to get an R rating.
While filming the fight scene between Benny and Tex at the truck, Ken Foree accidentally broke Viggo Mortensen's ribs. The shot was seemingly left in the movie (you can see Mortensen suddenly clutch after being thrown to the ground).
It was decided that Ken Foree's character Benny should live after he gained high favorable responses during early test screenings. The new ending was subsequently shot, in which somehow Benny pops up in the final scene, with a tiny flesh wound on his head (even though his death at the hands of Leatherface is strongly implied).
Originally, Benny and Leatherface both succumbed to their injuries at the end of the movie, but New Line decided to shoot a new ending with editor Michael N. Knue in which both characters survive. Jeff Burr was very surprised when he saw the movie in the cinema for the first time; the new ending was shot without his knowledge.
Ken Foree has an ending similar to his character in "Dawn of the Dead", the only survivor along with a white girl whose partner was killed by the threat.
Is this blu ray the unrated version?
I love this movie, for what it turned out to be. I've probably watched it at least 15 times or so over the years, great flick to watch with a group of friends.
This is my favorite Chainsaw of the sequels. The uncut version of course. Love its out on Blu Ray!
The old Laserdisc release contained a proper running audio commentary track with Jeff Burr and Bill Butler and a seperate one with some of the KNB guys. Wish they'd include those on one of their discs.
DarkAngel182 the DVD and blu ray have the audio commentary from the director
jehad78 yeah, but its a different track to the ones recorded for the old Laserdisc, be nice if they'd include those.
When I was 7, I was a big fan of the Texas chainsaw massacre series, but never knew this movie existed until my cousins showed it to me. It may be kinda bad, but its got a soft spot in my heart.
If I remember correctly when I watched the unrated cut on DVD, a line of Alfredo's was edited into something a little different, one that I LOVED in the R rated version. Peeved me off...!
Forgot to ask if this Blu-ray has both the R and unrated versions...?
I enjoyed part 3. I purchased an old FANGORIA magazine from monster mania horror con in cherry hill NJ and it was a 1990 issue that covered leatherface part 3. Good film overall. Everyone did a great job.
I just saw this movie tonight and my favorite character was Alfredo! "I only got one thing to say mister, I don't like your tone of voice". Now I need to watch part 2 but I can't find it on RUclips.
I haven’t seen it in years but I really did enjoy it. For lack of a better description I loved the 80’s aesthetic of it. I also remember Mortensen being a hoot
It's a classic
love this movie,had the pleasure of meeting R.A. Mihailoff a few times,great guy.....
can u tell me if this is a pressed Bluray or is a MOD BD-R?i thought about ordering it but would like to know if i am getting a legit Pressed bluray or a burned copy?
Got em all 😎
The Sawyer family..Get it? SAW yer Family!
Nice review, you're not noticing this mysterious white oval everybody's been talking about? I haven't watched the film in its entirety yet but I popped it in and I didn't notice anything... it is supposedly happening during the night scenes, don may mentioned it in a post I believe.
I just bought it and yes I noticed it
i will not LIE. Leatherface 3 is my fav and the only one i can watch over and over. Pizz you will hate me BuT i do not like the original and just could not get into it. Im sorry
Awesome review! I still loved this movie despite its production troubles and someone silly parts.
Scream Factory should release this as a collector's edition with both versions of the film, the special features and a workprint if it exists
They should do a box set of all the movies. Maybe we will get it with the new one getting closer to releasing
Is the unrated worth hunting down and buying? Anyone??
Also am I the only one that finds myself rooting for Ken Foree to kick ass?
Enjoyed hearing your insight, as always.
I have something special coming out on my channel involving the original TCM (your favorite!) right after all ten parts of my 101 Good Modern Horror Movies have been uploaded!
Looking forward to it. Excellent work on the 101 Good Modern Horror Movies series!
Killa Review Brotha Keep Up The Great Work
Gotta grab this Blu ray. So far I only have the USA and UK dvd editions.
Are they making the next generation on blu Ray?
I doubt it. But, if they ever do, I'd definitely buy it.
Psycho Dad Scream Factory’s releasing The Next Generation on Blu in late September. www.amazon.com/Texas-Chainsaw-Massacre-Generation-Collectors/dp/B07DMD6TJD
Excellent movie/blu ray review
We need a Blu Ray digibook boxed set/collection of every Chainsaw film. Every other fucking franchise has had one. Different studios shouldn't be that big of a deal....Chucky has gotten rights to different studios in order to make a complete series, Scream Factory did it with the Halloween series...Friday The 13th has done it, despite ratings issues...even Leprechaun has a boxed set, which is WAY LESS ICONIC THAN CHAINSAW! IT IS WAY BEYOND TIME.
Finally!! I have been waiting for a blu ray release of TCM3 for so long, but... Is it releasing in the UK? Or is it region free?, if not I'll have to buy a region free blu ray player which would help since there's a lot of films that I want that were only released in America.
Dennis K1979 Well that's good news :D.
Am I the only one who can see a big bright dot in the middle of the screen in dark scenes on this blu ray version??
Just ordered this
Do you like the remake of I spit on your grave
Great review 😎
That director situation: awkwaaard.
great review man I absolutely love this movie it's one of my favorites besides the first one and second one the rest suck
Good review. But you should have worn a leatherface 3 t shirt. That shirt is from fright rags but it's the original movie.
Unfortunately, I don't own a TCM 3 shirt.
Great review!!!
Thanks for the recommendation, Devin! Glad you like it.
No problem. I really enjoyed it!!!
Is it true Jeff Burr did New blu ray interviews/material for this release but they didn’t get put on? The old stuff from the DVD is quite good either way.
I don't know if he recorded new material for this release or not. It would be a huge shame if he did and they didn't include it on this release.
Newline was good at first I don't know how they went do bad and changed so much
Don't care🤷🏻♂️it's awesome!
