As an old, I can confirm that way back when, both parties had to hang up to disconnect. So someone could tie up your line if they didn't hang up. It was a real pain if someone thought they had hung up but didn't. Kids were notorious for doing it. Having said that, you would think a radio station would have a multi-line system and that wouldn't matter.
I am many moons old as well and the caller had to hang up. You could hang up on someone calling you and then pick up a minute later and if the caller did NOT hang up you could continue the previous conversation with the person that called you. I think it was a system that prevented accidental hang ups.
@@thereturningshadow pretty sure it went both ways - atleast it did where I lived, as I had an instance where my moms friend had called - she wasnt home and i didnt hang the phone up properly and the lines were linked the entire night, until my mom got home from work to hang it up. That memory is burned into my brain as I was chewed out vigorously~
This may have been covered in previous comments; but the continuity of this series is way more convoluted than I think you're anticipating. Here's a breakdown: Part 2 follows part 1; parts 3 & 4 are standalone movies with no real connection to anything. Then you have the remake. Texas Chainsaw the beginning is a prequel to the remake. Texas Chainsaw 2013 is a sequel to the original movie that ignores all the other sequels. Leatherface is a prequel to the original film. Texas Chainsaw 2022 is a sequel to the original film that ignores all the other sequels (yes, they did that twice).
@@joeyrogers7017 I agree. I always thought after all the brothers were killed in part 2, Leatherface went back to live with Mama and the rest of the family in part 3.
I love the fact that they brought the Hitchhiker (or "Nubbins Sawyer") back in the sequel as a stuffed corpse. Taxidermy is apparently what this family does when a loved one dies. Then they just act as if the corpse is still alive. The brother with the plate on his head "Choptop Sawyer" was the Hitchhiker's twin brother. As y'all have inferred, he wasn't with the family during the events of the first film because he was in Vietnam. This information can be gleaned from various sources as well as implied in this film. I mean, its clear in this flick that he is a Vietnam veteran ('Nam flash back! 'Nam flashback!) and 'Nam was going on in 1974 when the events of the first film took place.
Absolutely! The original is iconic and genre defining, of course, but it was just almost too gritty and relentless for me. I love that Hooper didn't even try to capture the same feel. It's ridiculous and stupid and utterly all over the place in the best, campy 80s horror sequel kind of way, and I love it so much lol
Part 2 is such a fun campy classic! The original is a masterpiece in terror. Although Tobe Hooper considered it a comedy in his view, part 2 goes full dark humor and embraces the camp and ridiculousness, what with the brothers running a catering company and all lol The corpse you see in the beginning and throughout is Nubbins Sawyer, the hitchhiker from the first movie, notice the small animal skin pouch around the neck and long birthmark on the face. Another brother, Chop-Top, is introduced in this film, he seemingly was at war during the events of the first film, his head plate a result of injury during this time. Thank you for giving these films a viewing! I enjoy them all for the most part, part 3 is so underrated in my opinion, and has one of the best opening credit scenes in all of horror! Keep those reactions coming! All the best!
Oh ja ich hatte das Riesenglück Teil 3 zu bekommen der ist ziemlich blutig der ist ja hier in Deutschland verboten Teil 3 Teil 2 war schon blutig aber teil 3 ist richtig blutig es gibt ja insgesamt 10 Teile ein Teil gibt es aber nur auf Netflix
Yeah this movie is to TCM (1974), what Evil Dead 2 is to Evil Dead. Rather than do another repeat of the first film, Director Tobe Hooper decided to go with a dark satirical comedy. Though disliked by many horror fans, it does have a cult fan following.
Interesting fact: The actor who plays Leatherface at 5:40 is Tom Morga. He also played Michael Myers in a couple scenes of Halloween 4 & played Jason Voorhies in the opening scene of Friday the 13th V. That makes him the only actor to play those 3 horror icons.
I think the original is objectively the best of the franchise, but this one is my fave. A lot of viewers are so shocked by the implied horror of the first movie that they sometimes miss the nasty black streak of comedy running through it, something you both kind of picked up on by reframing the story from Leatherface's POV: he's home alone and has to keep dispatching unwanted intruders... This sequel ups the farce and the on screen violence in equal measure and expands / alters the family mythos and the locations: something that almost none of the subsequent films will even attempt. There are more standard TCM films out there but for my money this is the only one that offers something other than reheated leftovers of the first film.
The Texas Rangers are a specialized investigation agency that is under the jurisdiction of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The DPS are the state police and the Rangers are the state equivalent of the FBI. They have jurisdiction across the whole state so when a crime covers multiple counties or cities they are the ranking officers for such investigations.
@@Simplesource98 I knew a retired Texas Ranger who absolutely loved Chucks show. It showed the Rangers in a positive light and as a force for good. His quote on the show was " Thats a bad all little show. Complete Bullshit, but bad ass." He met Mr. Norris once and had nothing but great things to say about the guy.
OMG.....I've seen this movie dozens of times....I've never noticed grandma (or whatever) standing up behind her at the end.... (I do love this movie. It's SO batshit crazy....)
Caroline Williams, the lady who plays Stretch, saw a clip of Mrs. Movies doing the chainsaw dance and responded on Twitter. I got a big kick out of that.
34:32 Q: What kinda saw Leatherface got?" A: 1974 it was a 245a Poulan (not the smaller 306a). 1986 it was a 2400 Counter Vibration Poulan (painted over orange. In some shots you can still see the green showing from underneath).
Chop-Top (guy with the plate) is played by Bill Moseley, who is in a lot of small horror movies, but also in the Night of the Living Dead remake, And in Rob Zombie's House of 1k Corpses trilogy.
I remember back then with the way phones worked, you could hang up, and then pick back up and the line would stay connected until the other party hung up as well
"I'm the Lord of the Harvest" I love this movie. It's so batshit insane and goofy. It has a huge tonal shift compared to the original, usually why most people hate it, so if you keep that in mind you'll like it
Even though this new brother (who was in Vietnam, yes), Chop Top, and the other brother from the 1st movie, The Hitchhiker, do look alike, they're played by different actors. Hitchhiker was played by Edwin Neal (who will reprise his role in the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game) and Chop Top is played by Bill Moseley, most known for playing Otis B. Driftwood in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Jim Siedow, The Cook, is the only actor coming back from the 1st movie while Gunnar Hansen did not come back as Leatherface in this movie or any of the other sequels. I lol:ed so hard at Mrs.'s "come" and "my pants are tight" comments! XD ;P I love this movie, I love how over the top it is and that was the intention by Tobe Hooper, he knew he couldn't make this one as great as the 1st movie so why not have fun with it and he did that! And I love Dennis Hopper's bat shit crazy over the top performance! XD The 3rd movie is ok, but not great and the 4th movie sucks.
@@JW666 I gotta disagree with that, I think it's more like a mix of 2 & 3. It's got the cartoonishness of 2 mixed with the backwoodsiness of 3, but none of the creepiness or artfulness of 1. I love this franchise, it's so tonally all over the place. There are movies in it I love, that I hate, that are full on masterpieces and that are bargain basement garbage. Don't know if any other has as broken continuity, even more than Halloween. Hot take: I hated both Michael Bay movies but loved 3D and the Netflix one, lol
@@robotmonthly5512 Didn't really care for the remake, the prequel to the remake was ok and is a better origin story than Leatherface from 2017 (that one sucked), 3D was not good and the Netflix movie really sucked!
@@JW666 3D=perfect boobs, Netflix=slaughtering liberal zoomies my justifications 😂thought The Beginning was actually too fucking grim, saw it in the theater and think it was around the time Saw 3 was coming out and was trying to hard to be gruesome still, there isn't a single TCM movie I wouldn't give another watch. Leatherface was pretty misguided, yes, but I don't think it was a disaster
This movie was part of a three picture deal between director Tobe Hooper and Cannon Films. The other two are Lifeforce(1985) and Invaders from Mars(1986) you should react to those two sometime in the future.
This was the first entry I ever saw. It got me into the series. I personally think it's my favorite. You should also get the audio commentary with actors Bill Moseley, Caroline Williams and make-up effects artist Tom Savini. It's a riot to listen to. They had a great time.
TCM 2 came out when I was in middle school in San Antonio, Texas back in 1986. The movie was released in theaters unrated or as they said back then NC-17. And at the theaters here in San Antonio and Austin when you bought tickets, before you could enter the theater screen you had to show I.D. to a state trooper you they somehow hired to make sure no one under 17 was allowed to watched and they pulled people out of line left and right regardless if you had tickets or not. That night, my friend and I had to go watch Ruthless People while our older brothers were watching TCM Part 2. I have alot of affection for Part 2. It was my first Texas Chainsaw Massacre I saw eventually when it hit video rental stores - which was a new thing back then. At the time the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre was pretty hard to find because you couldn't go into a Blockbuster or a Hollywood Video since the didn't exist yet. Tobe Hooper got a 3 movie deal from Canon Pictures with the promise that one of those films was a sequel to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now Tobe knew there was no way in hell he could come close to the original because in '74 they did that film on Saturday nothing budget and all if the people and actors working that film really didn't know what they were doing. As Tobe put it, the original TCM was a happy accident. No one ever could if imagined that the iriginal film would become an iconic horror film. So wete Part Two they went heavy into a dark comedy direction which Tobe said was also in the original film but it's way more faint to be even noticeable. Tobe never truly felt like making a sequel but upon meeting Bill Mosley who would go on to be casted as Chop Top he felt it might be possible. Only local Texas actor Jim Siedow came back to reprise his role from the first film. Now, Tobe and crew went on to say that the movie he filmed was completely changed in the editing room by Canon Pictures who were not happy with Tobe Hoopers rough original cut of the film. With Tobe's death, any hopes of a re-edited Director's Cut is lost to time. IMO, TCM 2 is the only Texas Chainsaw film where they tried something different. With TCM 3, The Return of Texas Chainsaw Massacre aka Next Generation and all the remake/reboots to the one that came out earlier this year all they ever do it redo the original film over and over and over again. Where Nightmare on Elm St and Friday the 13th evolved, Texas Chainsaw Massacre has and is forever stuck in a loop. Anyway, keep up the great work you two. Your Horror Hound friend deep in the ❤️ of Texas.
I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it, but the scene in the radio station where Stretch runs SCREAMING down the hallway (right after the music vault jump-scare) and just doesn’t stop… Caroline Williams audition was with that scene… she got her name called for the audition, went to the end of the hallway of the audition space, began screaming, and ran in and performed the scene until the end when Leatherface leaves her alone. She got the part immediately.
They edited out the scene where it is discussed that "choptop" was away in Vietnam during the first movie so many people mistakenly believe that he is supposed to be the same character that got ran over by the 18 wheeler he is not. Also I don't know why but my favorite little part is when choptop repeats "fucked up again" after Drayton says it .
The original TCM is my favourite horror movie but I love this one as well. It's not a typical sequel which I find fascinating but more of a dark comedy with still a lot of disgusting and creepy moments. If i want to be scared I watch the first one. If I want something batshit insane and weird I choose this one.
part 2 is my absolute favorite TCM film. so much fun. the dead body they carry around is the body of the hitch hiker brother from the first, he even still has his squirrel pouch. chop top was his twin who was off in vietnam during the first. played by bill mosely from the rob zombie devils rejects movies.
Ur bush comment made me think of one of the funniest memories of my brother. My sister and I were sitting in the living room when my brother barged in with a weed Wacker that he turned on and said "line up ladies I'm gonna trim ur bushes!" .. we could not stop laughing it was so hilarious!
16:12 Nah. Chop Top is NubbinS's twin brother. He was fighting in the Vietnam War during the 1st film and got a head injury there so he had to get a plate fitted into his head.
I Watch your channel mainly because I LOVE watching you two interact with each other and the ADORABLE baby!!! You all seem to have an absolutely a,axing family!! Sending lots of love and positivity from Baltimore, Maryland
I always forget Rene Zellweger is in this franchise, as well as Matthew McConaughey. "Texas chainsaw massacre: next generation" talk about humble beginnings for now two very established and talented stars.
Loved this. Saw it on original release. It's SO weird that it's fun. I don't think it's bad, and when you get further in you might start to look back on this one fondly.
In Texas we have, City Police, Metro Police in the larger cities then County Sheriff, County Precinct Constables (Constables enforce both criminal and civil laws), State Troopers then Texas Rangers (both part of the Department of Public Safety), the rangers is kind of like the FBI. And forgot about School district police (they have almost the same jurisdiction as State troopers I believe).
NO WAY!! This is my favorite of the entire Chainsaw franchise!! I'm glad y'all reacted to it!! EDIT: 37:32 Noooooooo, Mrs. Movies!! How could you??!! Well, I'm glad that Mr. Movies liked it at least!!
When I was an RA in college and had to tear down a bunch of dorm building decorations I would yell “BRING IT ALL DOWN! I’ll take you all to hell!” And nobody knew what I was referencing
TRIVIA: There's a deleted scene with Joe Bob Briggs. You can find it on TH-cam! Yeah I can see fans not getting the dark humor. Especially with the seriousness of the original. But there's a little of that comedy in the OG. Mostly with the Chainsaw family.
The carpet on the walls is to prevent echoing when recording or on air, if your in an empty room you hear an echo, the soft carpet "absorbs" the sound so you don't get an echo. I was in radio production in high school. And yes she could have made a "radio edit" of Lefty's request, we made radio versions of songs
I watched 5-6 reactions and I like that she is not so emotional, but when she scared or laugh, that's looks amazing(more horrors for her🤭). And he also looks like Robert Rodriguezs best friend 🤠
💐💐RIP Dennis Lee Hopper (May 17, 1936 - May 29, 2010) (aged 74) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. 💐💐 RIP Louis Byron "Lou" Perryman (August 15, 1941 - April 1, 2009)( aged 67) he portrayed L.G., the radio station manager you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. 💐💐
Even tho this is 11 months old i had try watch it. I remember watching it as a kid all the time and all i could remember explaining it to someone was the guy picking his head with a metal hanger, the radio station, and the "good" guy with a giant chainsaw in the caves. Even tho it was wacky i fell in love with this movie as a child so its my favorite one. Thanks for posting it!
This is my favorite one. I love stretch especially the last scene where she’s goin wild with the chainsaw screaming. The beginning is pretty awesome and that jump scare is pretty rad. Love it
Stuff like the radio station phone setup was a common thing with the producers, Cannon Films. They cranked out 40-50 movies a year in the 80s, so quality wasn’t a concern. They’d be written in a week, often by people who had no idea how police departments or the military or radio stations really worked, so they operated in the script strictly in the interest of serving the plot.
Cannon Films cranked out some great B movies during their time of existence, particularly their action flicks for the most part. I still love watching the ones they made with either Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, or Michael Dudikoff.
50 a year? Let's not get carried away. It was probably more like 7-10 in the later 80's. Anyway, what really sunk Cannon, ironically, was that they tried too hard to become a big "respectable" studio with the large budgets they gave Masters of the Universe and Superman 4. Those movies didn't make enough money to justify their production cost.
@@ryanjacobson2508 it’s not an exaggeration. Cannon spent a million bucks a movie where other studios spent ten million. The bulk of their income was they flooded video stores with new releases at a time when major studio releases would take up to 2 years to bring a theatrical hit to the video store shelves. They lasted so long because Golan and Globus came along when video stores were starved for content. They were the 80s version of American International Pictures.
The brother who died/hitch hiker in the original is Nubbins Sawyer and the albino brother in this one is his twin brother, Chop Top. The corpse in the beginning of the movie in the car scene is actually Nubbins carcass. Chop Top is a very interesting character there was supposed to a movie about him called "All American Massacre" but it was never released but there is footage of a teaser trailer online. Would love for you guys to watch it.
I love this movie! It’s just so wacky and ridiculous.! And I love their underground hideout! Oh, and Chop Top (played by Bill Moseley) is one of my all time favorite horror movie characters! 😆
This grows on you over the years. Tobey Hooper knew he couldn't top the original in terms of shock value and horror, so he made a Dark Comedy with this one. It's very satirical of yuppie culture and horror in the 80s. The tone and over the top goofiness of this movie is intentional. It's not the movie you want after watching the first, but you can appreciate it afterwards for not being a remake, carbon copy of the original, and it sets out to do its own thing. TCM is the masterpiece and the great movie, TCM 2 is the cult classic.
Chop Top was in Nam during the events of part 1 and is the Hitchhiker’s twin. The Hitchhiker, Nubbins, in the first one is the corpse that Leatherface and Chop Top play/dance around with. They kept him around and turned him into taxidermy. It’s not really touched in on the movie but Lefty is Stretch’s long last dad. Also Sally and Franklins uncle. He’s spent all these years trying to find out what happened to them
The older brother, Chop Top, was played by Bill Moseley who later played Otis Driftwood in the House of 1000 Corpses films, he also plays Luigi Largo in Repo: The Genetic Opera and Mayor Buckman in the second 2001 Maniacs film, not the same actor who played the Hitchhiker in the first Chain Saw (though they were supposed to be twins, I believe). I think I spotted the movement behind her as the screen faded before, though I'm torn on whether it's Grandma standing up or just some smoke/dust billowing up from the explosion earlier. I saw this one before the first movie when I was younger and always enjoyed it. I picked up a VHS copy of it that claimed to have extra footage after the film, but either somebody had switched tapes out or they forgot to add it in
Nubbins (the body) is the hitch hiker from the first movie, he`s wearing the same pouch around his neck, and is the twin brother of Chop Top (metal plate).
Texas law enforcement, like most states I assume are divided into Municipal, County, and State. Municipal would include city police or city marshals (has gone way of the dodo). County would include Sheriff’s Office, Constable’s Office (probably unique to Texas judging by reactions from visitors) and maybe some sort of Park Police/Code enforcement. State police would included Texas Departnent of Public Safety which consists of the Highway Patrol, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Driver’s Licensing, Governor Protection, and the Texas Rangers. Other agencies include Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, Texas Railroad Commission, and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. There’s also various school district, college/university, airport, public transit, and port authority police departments. Each agency has jurisdiction within their respective areas. Municipal within the city/town, county anywhere within the county (constables jurisdiction is within their precinct but still has country wide jurisdiction) State anywhere within the State. Airport would be limited to the airport, College police limited to the campus, School District police are limited to school property within their district (campus, stadiums, administrative buildings, etc), and so on and so on. I know it’s confusing but I hope it helps.
Just wait, eventually the daughter is gonna learn as she gets older to get in there quietly and watch behind you without you noticing. I sure did that many times as a kid xD
Hooper was coerced into making the movie (a studio offered him a three movie deal on the condition that one of them be a sequel to Texas Chainsaw Massacre). That's probably why it falls so flat. John Carpenter also made Halloween 2 against his will. He kept telling the studio/producers that he thought Halloween didn't need a sequel, so they eventually threatened to make a sequel without him so Carpenter finally caved and, during a long drunken night, wrote the script for Halloween 2 and he ended up hating the movie.
Funny story about the chainsaw's. The set dressers went and bought out a local Ace Hardware used them and then Returned them. They were super paranoid when Dennis was using them as they didn't want him to damage them. When I heard that I had a good laugh.
As an old, I can confirm that way back when, both parties had to hang up to disconnect. So someone could tie up your line if they didn't hang up. It was a real pain if someone thought they had hung up but didn't. Kids were notorious for doing it.
Having said that, you would think a radio station would have a multi-line system and that wouldn't matter.
Just like you can call your house on your own line and hang it up and it will ring you. Like the killer upstairs telling them to check the children.

You could hang up on someone calling you and then pick up a minute later and if the caller did NOT hang up you could continue the previous conversation with the person that called you.

totally, the crazy insane (and funny) nature of this one made it my favorite of the series, #1 is good but this one is just so.... so much fun
“I’m the lord of the harvest” I love crazy dense hopper.
The body Leatherface and Choptop keep playing with is actually Nubbins the brother who was hit by the truck in the first movie.
Even though this new brother (who was in Vietnam, yes), Chop Top, and the other brother from the 1st movie, The Hitchhiker, do look alike, they're played by different actors. Hitchhiker was played by Edwin Neal (who will reprise his role in the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game) and Chop Top is played by Bill Moseley, most known for playing Otis B. Driftwood in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Jim Siedow, The Cook, is the only actor coming back from the 1st movie while Gunnar Hansen did not come back as Leatherface in this movie or any of the other sequels. I lol:ed so hard at Mrs.'s "come" and "my pants are tight" comments! XD ;P I love this movie, I love how over the top it is and that was the intention by Tobe Hooper, he knew he couldn't make this one as great as the 1st movie so why not have fun with it and he did that! And I love Dennis Hopper's bat shit crazy over the top performance! XD The 3rd movie is ok, but not great and the 4th movie sucks.
4th movie's awesome, it's pretty much TCM2 part 2, lol
@@robotmonthly5512 It's like a bad mix of the 1st & the 3rd movie.
@@JW666 I gotta disagree with that, I think it's more like a mix of 2 & 3. It's got the cartoonishness of 2 mixed with the backwoodsiness of 3, but none of the creepiness or artfulness of 1. I love this franchise, it's so tonally all over the place. There are movies in it I love, that I hate, that are full on masterpieces and that are bargain basement garbage. Don't know if any other has as broken continuity, even more than Halloween. Hot take: I hated both Michael Bay movies but loved 3D and the Netflix one, lol
@@robotmonthly5512 Didn't really care for the remake, the prequel to the remake was ok and is a better origin story than Leatherface from 2017 (that one sucked), 3D was not good and the Netflix movie really sucked!
@@JW666 3D=perfect boobs, Netflix=slaughtering liberal zoomies
my justifications 😂thought The Beginning was actually too fucking grim, saw it in the theater and think it was around the time Saw 3 was coming out and was trying to hard to be gruesome
still, there isn't a single TCM movie I wouldn't give another watch. Leatherface was pretty misguided, yes, but I don't think it was a disaster
I never noticed that grandma stood up before at the end. Awesome
This movie was insane to watch from start to finish as the audience didn't know whether it was a comedy or a horror slasher film
Little did they know it was both
I will NEVER get tired of the Mrs doing the Leatherface shimmy.
This movie is a breath of freash air in this series. Every single movie after this just retreads the first movie over and over and over and over.
This movie was part of a three picture deal between director Tobe Hooper and Cannon Films. The other two are Lifeforce(1985) and Invaders from Mars(1986) you should react to those two sometime in the future.
Especially Lifeforce. That movie is nuts.
This was the first entry I ever saw. It got me into the series. I personally think it's my favorite. You should also get the audio commentary with actors Bill Moseley, Caroline Williams and make-up effects artist Tom Savini. It's a riot to listen to. They had a great time.
The first entry you ever *SAW*
TCM 2 came out when I was in middle school in San Antonio, Texas back in 1986. The movie was released in theaters unrated or as they said back then NC-17. And at the theaters here in San Antonio and Austin when you bought tickets, before you could enter the theater screen you had to show I.D. to a state trooper you they somehow hired to make sure no one under 17 was allowed to watched and they pulled people out of line left and right regardless if you had tickets or not. That night, my friend and I had to go watch Ruthless People while our older brothers were watching TCM Part 2. I have alot of affection for Part 2. It was my first Texas Chainsaw Massacre I saw eventually when it hit video rental stores - which was a new thing back then. At the time the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre was pretty hard to find because you couldn't go into a Blockbuster or a Hollywood Video since the didn't exist yet. Tobe Hooper got a 3 movie deal from Canon Pictures with the promise that one of those films was a sequel to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now Tobe knew there was no way in hell he could come close to the original because in '74 they did that film on Saturday nothing budget and all if the people and actors working that film really didn't know what they were doing. As Tobe put it, the original TCM was a happy accident. No one ever could if imagined that the iriginal film would become an iconic horror film. So wete Part Two they went heavy into a dark comedy direction which Tobe said was also in the original film but it's way more faint to be even noticeable. Tobe never truly felt like making a sequel but upon meeting Bill Mosley who would go on to be casted as Chop Top he felt it might be possible. Only local Texas actor Jim Siedow came back to reprise his role from the first film. Now, Tobe and crew went on to say that the movie he filmed was completely changed in the editing room by Canon Pictures who were not happy with Tobe Hoopers rough original cut of the film. With Tobe's death, any hopes of a re-edited Director's Cut is lost to time. IMO, TCM 2 is the only Texas Chainsaw film where they tried something different. With TCM 3, The Return of Texas Chainsaw Massacre aka Next Generation and all the remake/reboots to the one that came out earlier this year all they ever do it redo the original film over and over and over again. Where Nightmare on Elm St and Friday the 13th evolved, Texas Chainsaw Massacre has and is forever stuck in a loop. Anyway, keep up the great work you two. Your Horror Hound friend deep in the ❤️ of Texas.
The NC-17 rating wasn’t developed until 1990
I don’t know if anyone’s mentioned it, but the scene in the radio station where Stretch runs SCREAMING down the hallway (right after the music vault jump-scare) and just doesn’t stop…
Caroline Williams audition was with that scene… she got her name called for the audition, went to the end of the hallway of the audition space, began screaming, and ran in and performed the scene until the end when Leatherface leaves her alone. She got the part immediately.
They edited out the scene where it is discussed that "choptop" was away in Vietnam during the first movie so many people mistakenly believe that he is supposed to be the same character that got ran over by the 18 wheeler he is not. Also I don't know why but my favorite little part is when choptop repeats "fucked up again" after Drayton says it .
The original TCM is my favourite horror movie but I love this one as well. It's not a typical sequel which I find fascinating but more of a dark comedy with still a lot of disgusting and creepy moments.
If i want to be scared I watch the first one. If I want something batshit insane and weird I choose this one.
part 2 is my absolute favorite TCM film. so much fun. the dead body they carry around is the body of the hitch hiker brother from the first, he even still has his squirrel pouch. chop top was his twin who was off in vietnam during the first. played by bill mosely from the rob zombie devils rejects movies.
Ur bush comment made me think of one of the funniest memories of my brother. My sister and I were sitting in the living room when my brother barged in with a weed Wacker that he turned on and said "line up ladies I'm gonna trim ur bushes!" .. we could not stop laughing it was so hilarious!
Glad you noticed that little detail at the end. I think it get's missed on all the grainy VHS clips that float around.
I think they should make a prequel explaining how grandpa " was the best at killing". I definitely think more backstory into grandpas is needed
Also, a movie on Choptop could be done.
16:12 Nah. Chop Top is NubbinS's twin brother. He was fighting in the Vietnam War during the 1st film and got a head injury there so he had to get a plate fitted into his head.
When I was a kid the scene with Stretch and Chop top in the radio station freaked me the hell out😂😂 now I just find him silly in a psycho way😂
I Watch your channel mainly because I LOVE watching you two interact with each other and the ADORABLE baby!!! You all seem to have an absolutely a,axing family!! Sending lots of love and positivity from Baltimore, Maryland
Sending the love and positivity right back at you Jude! Thanks for the kind words!
The hitchhiker from the first movie is the corpse Leatherface is holding up at the beginning.
Tom Sevini is Master War Photographer, Makeup Artist ,I like the movies was in as well!
Worth watching for your Leatherface impression alone.
Gosh this is making me laugh! He is f..ing the ice!! LOL
Back in those days, the caller had to hang up first otherwise the call would still be connected
I always forget Rene Zellweger is in this franchise, as well as Matthew McConaughey. "Texas chainsaw massacre: next generation" talk about humble beginnings for now two very established and talented stars.
Oh yes and the motto of the Texas Rangers is "One Ranger, one riot." insinuating that if you have a riot you only need one ranger.
Loved this. Saw it on original release. It's SO weird that it's fun. I don't think it's bad, and when you get further in you might start to look back on this one fondly.
This movie is just a bunch of gonzo, nutcase fun. And the basis for Rob Zombie's entire film career.
In Texas we have, City Police, Metro Police in the larger cities then County Sheriff, County Precinct Constables (Constables enforce both criminal and civil laws), State Troopers then Texas Rangers (both part of the Department of Public Safety), the rangers is kind of like the FBI. And forgot about School district police (they have almost the same jurisdiction as State troopers I believe).
NO WAY!! This is my favorite of the entire Chainsaw franchise!! I'm glad y'all reacted to it!!
EDIT: 37:32 Noooooooo, Mrs. Movies!! How could you??!!
Well, I'm glad that Mr. Movies liked it at least!!
When I was an RA in college and had to tear down a bunch of dorm building decorations I would yell “BRING IT ALL DOWN! I’ll take you all to hell!” And nobody knew what I was referencing
TRIVIA: There's a deleted scene with Joe Bob Briggs. You can find it on TH-cam!
Yeah I can see fans not getting the dark humor. Especially with the seriousness of the original. But there's a little of that comedy in the OG. Mostly with the Chainsaw family.
I think your Texas nickname should be "jiggles", for the way you do the Leatherface jiggle.
Awww she so sweet,I love when she walks in,it warms my heart
The carpet on the walls is to prevent echoing when recording or on air, if your in an empty room you hear an echo, the soft carpet "absorbs" the sound so you don't get an echo. I was in radio production in high school. And yes she could have made a "radio edit" of Lefty's request, we made radio versions of songs
I watched 5-6 reactions and I like that she is not so emotional, but when she scared or laugh, that's looks amazing(more horrors for her🤭). And he also looks like Robert Rodriguezs best friend 🤠
Forcing a lady to wear a dead skin mask followed by dancing is a traditional Texan courtship.
💐💐RIP Dennis Lee Hopper (May 17, 1936 - May 29, 2010) (aged 74) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. 💐💐 RIP Louis Byron "Lou" Perryman (August 15, 1941 - April 1, 2009)( aged 67) he portrayed L.G., the radio station manager you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family. 💐💐
Can’t lie, I cackled when the baby wandered in and y’all panicked and stopped the movie 😂😂😂
I genuinely cannot wait for the reaction to part 4
Even tho this is 11 months old i had try watch it. I remember watching it as a kid all the time and all i could remember explaining it to someone was the guy picking his head with a metal hanger, the radio station, and the "good" guy with a giant chainsaw in the caves. Even tho it was wacky i fell in love with this movie as a child so its my favorite one. Thanks for posting it!
This is my favorite one. I love stretch especially the last scene where she’s goin wild with the chainsaw screaming. The beginning is pretty awesome and that jump scare is pretty rad. Love it
My favorite of the franchise..I've watched more times than the original or any others
Cool reaction as always Mr. & Mrs Movies, you both take care and have a great weekend
I love that the Mrs. figured out Leatherface had a crush before the Mr.
I love it when Baby pops in for a visit.
Texas names “Shotgun” and “Shimmy” because she does Leatherface’s little dance so well 😂😎
22:18 Worst time for me to be eating a pizza hot pocket.... 🤮
Stuff like the radio station phone setup was a common thing with the producers, Cannon Films. They cranked out 40-50 movies a year in the 80s, so quality wasn’t a concern. They’d be written in a week, often by people who had no idea how police departments or the military or radio stations really worked, so they operated in the script strictly in the interest of serving the plot.
Cannon Films cranked out some great B movies during their time of existence, particularly their action flicks for the most part. I still love watching the ones they made with either Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, or Michael Dudikoff.
50 a year? Let's not get carried away. It was probably more like 7-10 in the later 80's. Anyway, what really sunk Cannon, ironically, was that they tried too hard to become a big "respectable" studio with the large budgets they gave Masters of the Universe and Superman 4. Those movies didn't make enough money to justify their production cost.
@@ryanjacobson2508 it’s not an exaggeration. Cannon spent a million bucks a movie where other studios spent ten million. The bulk of their income was they flooded video stores with new releases at a time when major studio releases would take up to 2 years to bring a theatrical hit to the video store shelves. They lasted so long because Golan and Globus came along when video stores were starved for content. They were the 80s version of American International Pictures.
"How many of these are we watching?" "Just the four at first." At that moment, you can see Mrs. Movies' soul exiting her body. LoL
This is the best TCM movie hands down.
Lol... a kiddo cameo on Tex Chain 2.... gotta be fast on the buttons.
The brother who died/hitch hiker in the original is Nubbins Sawyer and the albino brother in this one is his twin brother, Chop Top. The corpse in the beginning of the movie in the car scene is actually Nubbins carcass.
Chop Top is a very interesting character there was supposed to a movie about him called "All American Massacre" but it was never released but there is footage of a teaser trailer online. Would love for you guys to watch it.
I love this movie! It’s just so wacky and ridiculous.! And I love their underground hideout! Oh, and Chop Top (played by Bill Moseley) is one of my all time favorite horror movie characters! 😆
Caroline Williams reprised her character "Stretch" from this movie in Sharknado 4 and she her weapon of choice was a chainsaw.
This grows on you over the years.
Tobey Hooper knew he couldn't top the original in terms of shock value and horror, so he made a Dark Comedy with this one. It's very satirical of yuppie culture and horror in the 80s.
The tone and over the top goofiness of this movie is intentional.
It's not the movie you want after watching the first, but you can appreciate it afterwards for not being a remake, carbon copy of the original, and it sets out to do its own thing.
TCM is the masterpiece and the great movie, TCM 2 is the cult classic.
Is there a Southern accent sneaking out of the Mrs. every now and then? I keep hearing it.
Guess next should get the Mrs. to watch Motel Hell... lol
Chop Top was in Nam during the events of part 1 and is the Hitchhiker’s twin. The Hitchhiker, Nubbins, in the first one is the corpse that Leatherface and Chop Top play/dance around with. They kept him around and turned him into taxidermy.
It’s not really touched in on the movie but Lefty is Stretch’s long last dad. Also Sally and Franklins uncle. He’s spent all these years trying to find out what happened to them
Okay Mrs.M ..Your Texas nickname is "Emmy"
2:20 Did you have fun with that sound check with that lion? LMAO
I saw grandma behind her
The older brother, Chop Top, was played by Bill Moseley who later played Otis Driftwood in the House of 1000 Corpses films, he also plays Luigi Largo in Repo: The Genetic Opera and Mayor Buckman in the second 2001 Maniacs film, not the same actor who played the Hitchhiker in the first Chain Saw (though they were supposed to be twins, I believe). I think I spotted the movement behind her as the screen faded before, though I'm torn on whether it's Grandma standing up or just some smoke/dust billowing up from the explosion earlier.
I saw this one before the first movie when I was younger and always enjoyed it. I picked up a VHS copy of it that claimed to have extra footage after the film, but either somebody had switched tapes out or they forgot to add it in
18:32 He came too soon is what happened. That's why he started having a fit. Lol! 😏
I was also lost when I first saw this movie. But it has certainly grown on me! It's a comedy!
Nubbins (the body) is the hitch hiker from the first movie, he`s wearing the same pouch around his neck, and is the twin brother of Chop Top (metal plate).
Texas law enforcement, like most states I assume are divided into Municipal, County, and State. Municipal would include city police or city marshals (has gone way of the dodo). County would include Sheriff’s Office, Constable’s Office (probably unique to Texas judging by reactions from visitors) and maybe some sort of Park Police/Code enforcement. State police would included Texas Departnent of Public Safety which consists of the Highway Patrol, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Driver’s Licensing, Governor Protection, and the Texas Rangers. Other agencies include Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, Texas Railroad Commission, and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. There’s also various school district, college/university, airport, public transit, and port authority police departments. Each agency has jurisdiction within their respective areas. Municipal within the city/town, county anywhere within the county (constables jurisdiction is within their precinct but still has country wide jurisdiction) State anywhere within the State. Airport would be limited to the airport, College police limited to the campus, School District police are limited to school property within their district (campus, stadiums, administrative buildings, etc), and so on and so on. I know it’s confusing but I hope it helps.
Just wait, eventually the daughter is gonna learn as she gets older to get in there quietly and watch behind you without you noticing. I sure did that many times as a kid xD
Hooper was coerced into making the movie (a studio offered him a three movie deal on the condition that one of them be a sequel to Texas Chainsaw Massacre). That's probably why it falls so flat. John Carpenter also made Halloween 2 against his will. He kept telling the studio/producers that he thought Halloween didn't need a sequel, so they eventually threatened to make a sequel without him so Carpenter finally caved and, during a long drunken night, wrote the script for Halloween 2 and he ended up hating the movie.
Funny story about the chainsaw's. The set dressers went and bought out a local Ace Hardware used them and then Returned them. They were super paranoid when Dennis was using them as they didn't want him to damage them. When I heard that I had a good laugh.
I love this movie since I was a teenager it's nice to see yall going into it with the right attitude it's hilarious
For the jurisdiction question, the only thing above Texas rangers is the federal government. They're essentially the states version of the fbi
"music is my liiife" I was Chop Top for Halloween three times in my teens.
"Take muh strong hand child" 😂😂
Love Caroline Williams. She's one of my favorite Scream Queens.
