I was 11 years old when I watched this movie, I thought at that point in time that this was the most awesome opening to a horror movie. I'm now 44, and I still think it's the most awesome opening to a horror movie.
I was 10, and I agree, however it scared scared the fuck out of me, because I was still feeling the after effects of the first one, which had me going. I was 8 when I saw the first one. I was scared but liked being scared for some crazy reason.
@Dudebro oooh wow I’m dumb for pointing out a movie has like no kills in it but fake ass corn syrup in it ooo I’m so dumb lemme count the kills 2 dumbasses in the beginning 1 Country guy that took a whole movie then leatherface/ cook/ and chop top so the main killers died instead of fighting wow so cool right? Lame
@@daveblueballz6659 yea and without kills the gore has no impact. It’s lazy and this movie sucks. I don’t know how people can watch it and call it crazy and over the top when it’s tame, slow, boring, and nothing happens most of the movie until the end. Wasted potential is all this movie was it had great sets and special effects by Tom savini and they did nothing with them! This could’ve been a creepy or dark film but hooper was too busy hitting the crack pipe and wanted leatherface to fall in love, make a mockery of the hammer death from the original, and have the rest of the family do nothing but mug at the camera and then get killed by a coked out Dennis hopper and some random radio station chick.
My first thought on seeing Leatherface's costume for this movie was that he looked like something out of an Oingo Boingo video. And, well, here we are.
dacypher22 my first instinct when someone is attacking me and driving with a chainsaw side by side is to keep driving forward and then only take one shot with a gun
@SeedlessJellyBeans what? Its not hard to realize if you see a fucking chain saw coming from a moving car, stop the fucking car? A fucking 5 year old could figure it out
This is one of the rare movies that if you watch it today, it is a fucking certified classic, and not in an ironic way like The Room. This is legitimately a great, entertaining movie.
The dancing corpse in the pickup truck is SCARY AS HELL! I remember the first time seeing this I had no idea Leatherface was behind the dead guy until the head shot.
They kinda had to after Leatherface got beaned by that enormous pipe wrench the Black Maria driver carried. You never hear much about that guy but he was awesome: flinging pipe wrenches like he was Thor....
+Whtxombi Yep. After he was run over and killed by the truck at the end of the first film the Sawyers kept his corpse and treated it as if he was still alive like they do with all their dead family members.
This part in the film was filmed in Austin Texas on the Montopolis bridge. I know it very well. Growing up as a child we had to pass down this bridge to get to my Aunt's house in DelValle, and every time we'd passed by it I would get so scared that I had to close my eyes until we were off the bridge. It still creeps me out to this day. True story.
It is right ! I used to pass it all the time when id go to work with my dad to landscape. I always stared at it and loved remembering this scene. Godamn i love this movie 🤙
As much as I love the second half of the video where Leatherface, gets revenge. That plot point about the radio station being so crappy that they don't have the highly advanced technology required to hang up the phone is just ridiculous.
I *know* I'm not the only one who lol'd at their reactions when Leatherface was dancing with the corpse. "What's he doing?!" *chainsaw appears* "WHAT'S HE GOT THERE?!" Laughed so hard
Guy decides his brakes are useless and he needs to drive side by side next to a pickup truck that can go 57 mph in reverse, with a maniac wielding a metal cutting chain saw, on a 19 mile long bridge. Perfect 👌
@```` Of course someone has to act like his or her opinion is a fact. Lol. How can people still believe that taste in films and art is objective? Stop fucking kidding yourself! People can have a different opinion and it's okay! Hahahaha.
+RisingVictor , nope, that's the bridge in Bastrop Tx. I remember cause they shut that bridge down in 1986 for a few days. My brother and I would watch them filming at night. The bridge is only a about 200 yards long. They also filmed part of the original here in town also.
Yep..And the first part where they are driving down that road and did the chicken with the truck is FM1209, North of Hwy 71 out by where The Colony subdivision is now. I drive that road every day and recognized it right off.
This Texas chainsaw is so underrated. I’ve always liked this movie . I usually don’t enjoy any horror movies that are also a dark comedy. This film has some of dark comedy at certain parts of the movie so I’m surprised how much I enjoyed it. My favorite horror movies come from the 80s. I love those under budget cheesy horror cuz they’re so bad it’s actually good
This year's Shout Factory release of TCM 2 has an interview with actors Chris Douridas and Barry Kinyon who played the ill fated yuppies here. It was pretty interesting to hear how much work went into this scene.
I remember having this on VHS. It was the days when we would hook up our VCR'S to the stereo and play the movie and listen in stereo with a lot of bass.
He was probably frozen in shock trying to decide if what he was seeing was real. It's not every day some huge guy wearing someone else's face hangs out of a truck with a chainsaw and swipes at you while growling
Also major cult influence George A Romeros' Day of the Dead, filmed in Punta Gorda Florida, and the underground scenes in a storage facility in Harrisburg PA. and One of my favorite props in Return of the Living Dead were the split dogs.lol
I think Return of the Living Dead has somewhat of an influence on this movie's soundtrack as well. It is pretty damn good, and even includes another appearance by The Cramps! (There is no way that was coincidence)
I agree. This is the first "Chainsaw Massacre" film I seen as a kid. My dad rented it for me, and I loved it despite being seriously creeped out at the "Incoming Mail" scene. This was an awesome film, and still is. I will say that the original is a true masterpiece, and it shouldn't be compared to this film. They are way different, and both good, but the original TCM is a masterpiece of film making.
This is my favorite movie of the saga, after the 1974 original. Although it has the same characters, the plot is different, It was directed by Hooper, and it has Dennis Hopper in it’s cast. Also, parts 1 and 2 are the only ones that have Drayton Sawyer in them. The soundtrack is perfect, the DJ girl is pretty and her character is interesting. The scene with Leatherface using a corpse as a costume is creepy af.m, the scenes are over the top, it has everything I want in a horror movie. The rest of the movies follow the blueprint of the original: some people get lost and find a creepy house, meet somebody who seems trustworthy but it’s not, get chased and killed by leatherface, one girls survives at the end. This one is the only one that is completely original.
I wish one day they'd release a blu ray box set with all seven films like they did with Halloween and Friday the 13th. Or at least release a blu ray for 3 and 4.
I think this is the best scene in the whole movie. When leather face pops up and gyrates to the music and starts the chainsaw. Angles, choreography, music 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I still remember to this day... seeing this when I was a kid and being so freaked out when the driver had his head sliced. The slow process of seeing the top half slooooowly slide off him, the blood get worse and just the shaking of his hands... that terrified me as a kid. Amazing scene.
One of the best horror movie scenes ever!!!!! It's funny but creepy if you Think about it, how fcked would that be if you encountered this in the middle of nowhere. Fuuuuuck that!!!!
This is the one movie that made me fall in love with horror movies even though this one is kind of funny. My favorite character is Choptop . He's funny and dangerously crazy at the same time. I seen this at the drive-in. I'm 48 and still love this movie!
I don't care if this movie don't have the same horror/terror level that the first one, but this intro is just perfect, love how they mixed comedy with gore xD
This and Jeepers Creepers are tied for the best openings in horror history. Oingo Boingo playing while the corpse puppet dances still creeps me out dude.
I remember watching this when I was 6-7 years old. I developed a fear of driving late at night because I thought Leatherface would come and kill/eat my family and I. (Got over it because I lived in Arizona)
This movie was one of my inspirations to restore a old 77 F250 farm truck in the same color... Even though this is a C10- there's something I love about old farm trucks...
I've always thought this was the most badass opening scene I've ever seen.... Now that I'm 43 years old this one and Ghostship opening scene are my favorite two opening scenes ever!!!!
DarkZircon cool i thought maybe people didnt like him. he wasnt born this way he was just brought up to be like this. You know what they say, "life imitates art!" :)
SeasickSteveOre After all these years (I saw this when it was new to vhs) I thought that was what he said. Here in YT I clearly hear him say “pig” not big. Weird.
I love these guys are riding around shooting signs and playing chicken with a truck. But then when the truck comes back and does the same thing to the guys they question it like "wtf are you craz?" As if them two are not.
I was tripping up all night.on LSD & my friend flip saw me walking & picked me up we went to see this this crazy movie. Wild times! I'm 57 now. I was 22 then.
I remember seeing the VHS cover at Pathmark (old grocery store in NY) when I was younger and just seeing the family posing on the cover scared me but I love this movie!
Last year while on a trip to Florida, we went through a farm area. Miles of fields, full moon. This movie came to mind and I mentioned it to my friends as we drove through. Even cell phone reception varied from low to lost. Lower Florida nearing Marcos Island. Even GPS wavering. Went mostly by road signs.
I was 11 years old when I watched this movie, I thought at that point in time that this was the most awesome opening to a horror movie. I'm now 44, and I still think it's the most awesome opening to a horror movie.
This ish'nt horror movie but black comedy movie ever

The puppet Leatherface is using is named Nubbins and is the hitchhiker from the first movie.
***** He came with the Chop Top action figure too.
+Whtxombi Yep. After he was run over and killed by the truck at the end of the first film the Sawyers kept his corpse and treated it as if he was still alive like they do with all their dead family members.
Whtxombi I thought it looked familiar.
Whtxombi/ it is creepy. also his twin is chop top played by Bill Moseley.

This scene gave me nightmares as a child. Absolute classic!
Me too! 💯agree!
Me also I could not sleep I was 9 years old when this came out 😮

Lol it takes all of 20 seconds to cross the bridge too. The movie made it look like they were on the golden gate bridge or something. Lmao.
Is the bridge really 63 miles long like in this movie?
The Oingo Boingo suits the scene so well
As much as I love the second half of the video where Leatherface, gets revenge. That plot point about the radio station being so crappy that they don't have the highly advanced technology required to hang up the phone is just ridiculous.
There is a LOT of ridiculousness going on in this scene. You have to set your brain to a light static, but it is fun.
LG looks like he never had to do that once in his radio career lmao
But consider the condition of the station and its rural location, it wasn't updated nor fancy 😉
@@chrisparvin2736 Exactly! It's shocking... which was the point. Right?
And the 10 mile bridge that in the original shot shows is actually super short didn't raise a flag for ya.
Seriously this is one of the best opening scenes to a horror film great track funny as fuck and the guy with the glasses reminds me of Lee Evans..
Lee Evans got killed by leatherface XD

I enjoyed the rest of the movie as well ... tremendously ..

***** Timbuk 3-Shame On You
There is also a minute of The Cramps - Goo Goo Muck as well right before Oingo Boingo starts playing.

He was pretty scared, I'm sure anyone would have froze up/panic the way he did, I mean Leatherface is one scary mother

After all these years (I saw this when it was new to vhs) I thought that was what he said. Here in YT I clearly hear him say “pig” not big.
Weird.
I love these guys are riding around shooting signs and playing chicken with a truck. But then when the truck comes back and does the same thing to the guys they question it like "wtf are you craz?" As if them two are not.
As soon as Oingo Boingo kicked in I knew I was in for a ride.
I was tripping up all night.on LSD & my friend flip saw me walking & picked me up we went to see this this crazy movie. Wild times! I'm 57 now. I was 22 then.
I freakin love this scene. Have this soundtrack on record. Great movie
Oingo boingo no one lives forever
How many times have I watched this movie and *just* realized that's The Beatles' "Butcher Cover" on the wall! 05:35.
Great eye!!! 👍👁
Oingo Boingo's music makes this more awesome
I remember seeing the VHS cover at Pathmark (old grocery store in NY) when I was younger and just seeing the family posing on the cover scared me but I love this movie!
Last year while on a trip to Florida, we went through a farm area. Miles of fields, full moon. This movie came to mind and I mentioned it to my friends as we drove through. Even cell phone reception varied from low to lost. Lower Florida nearing Marcos Island. Even GPS wavering. Went mostly by road signs.
