- When it came to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Director Tobe Hooper seemed to think the film was hilarious, but no one else seemed to pick up on that. When Cannon films approached him about doing a sequel, he decided he would make the dark humor the main focus of the film this time around so that it couldn't be ignored. Hooper decided the film also needed to embrace the trend of the times and throw in a lot of blood and gore. What would ensue has divided fans ever since. So today, let's find out precisely what went down on this episode of WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

#texaschainsaw #wtf #revisited #joblohorror - Krátké a kreslené filmy
The original is in my top 3 favorite movies, but I never got the hatred for part 2 . Hooper was going for another different direction and to me it worked . Although part two is not what I expected when it came out I still love it.
I was lucky enough to discover all of these movies at once. At 12 after watching Scream and falling in love with horror, my friend and I would go to the video store amd rent 7 movies at once for our sleepovers and we went thru all the classics. I loved the first one in a very different way I loved the nightmare and Friday series. It was very raw and terror inducing for me lol and the second still gave me that raw dirty feeling but not as terror inducing lol. But all of these movies, the tcm movies, Halloween, nightmares, f13, and every other obscure slasher slappp. Love to the genre and appreciate them all for what they are.
I went in with the expectations of what it was and I found it to be one of the most boring and stupid slashers I’ve ever scene. It failed as a Texas film and it failed at being a dark satirical comedy. Characters were stupid as hell to the point of it being annoying. They make them stupid for laughs, yet to stupid to be likeable or enjoyable. So you find yourself rolling your eyes almost every minute. The only thing I will give this film is a few creative or actually funny scenes. The “testing of the chainsaws” at the hardware store was genuinely funny. Beyond that there is no more laughs. It honestly is baffling that people actually defend this film on either side. I totally can see it being viewed as the movie to sit around with friends and mock, but beyond that I will never waste time viewing it again
@@JoeGrizz1y if you think it was supposed to be a slasher you completely missed the point .
TCM 2 is one of my favorite horror sequels. It’s because it’s not a copy and paste of the original. Instead of going the safe route and just doing a rehash Hooper decided to max it up a little and give us a sequel that is tonally different than the first film. Joe Dante did the same thing for Gremlins 2.
Absolutely!
Same with Evil Dead II, both are phenomenal follow-ups.
Exorcist 3 also comes to mind
Batman Returns is another one of my favs like this. Gotta love when studios give a director full creative freedom and regret it haha
Dennis Hopper may have hated doing the movie, but that didn't stop him from giving 110% like he always does, he was a professional and was good at his craft.
Also, the poster art for TCM2 where the family is sitting facing the camera is a reenactment from The Breakfast Club movie poster.
@Konservative Kirby XI give this guy a gold star 🌟 🙄
This (like Evil Dead 2 and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3) was over the top fun! I think expanding the story and characters made a bigger and better difference that separated it from what else was being produced at the time.
Eh, those two did it better. ANOES 3 was not just OTT fun, it was dark and serious at times.
Still this film is fun.
being 15 and watching this on my own late at night damnn lets just say it changed my life
The chainsaw sex scene is probably one of my favorite horror movie moments.
This movie brings me back to staying at my bestfriends house on Friday nights and walking to the local video store Video 102 and renting movies and buying snacks and watching these films over and over
Loved this movie as a kid. I stole the VHS from a wal mart. Worth it!
Literally just added Oingo Boingo's, "No One Lives Forever", to a playlist on Friday... Now this. 😅
Personally this is one of my favorites. Very much like the dark humor aspect to it
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is actually my favorite of the original films in the franchise. plus it's part of the Tobe Hooper Cannon films trilogy(Lifeforce, TCM2 and Invaders from mars).
"Likk my plate, you dog d***!"
It's a thing of cult classic beauty.
Is it blasphemy to say this is even better than the original? I love the black humor, the the bridge sequence, Chop top, and Dennis Hopper with to chainsaws.
it was a little bit more polished and a bit more fun, so I wouldn't necessarily call it blasphemy. but hey, different strokes for different folks.
I agree with you. This has always been my favorite. I wish they would make a proper sequel to this one: The Texas Chainsaw 2 1/2
It’s my favorite out of all of them! I think it’s hilarious.
absolutely not. this flick is magic
This movies plays in our home all the time, felt like this was more true to the og vision that hooper was going for if he had more money in the first place
My absolute favorite. The humor, the music, the kills, Stretch, The Lord of the Harvest! And good ol LG, of course
The chainsaw store Dennis Hopper is in, is now the "Mean Eyed Cat" in Austin. I learned a lot of cool TCM facts while briefly dating the daughter of the crazy hitchhiker in the first movie.
Probably one of the best horror sequels ever
Shut it M8, most horror sequels are better than their original, look at ED 2, child's play 2, TCM 2, H4, F13 P6, NOE 3, Alien 2.(just the ones off the top of my head) So stop spreading the lie that sequels are terrible and that their just inferior versions of the originals.
Love this movie it's just fun. Always liked the set design looks like the best haunted house Mosley is funny as F. So is Siedow. Just a crazy 80,s style movie
How funny is it that Siedow ended up being so funny in this? I always quote is "Is that some kind of health food company" line when I hear a odd or non-specific company name.
When it came to the bridge scene is still one of most favorite kill scenes in any horror movie. I'm almost 40 and remember when I was under 10 years old seeing that bridge scene and shocked me which was rare.
Not in million years could I ever think the original was a comedy.
This bat shit crazy movie is absolutely ridiculously epic! Saying this is movie is underrated is an understatement in my opinion. It is a wild ride through sequel hell that is a misunderstood masterpiece
It is certainly with the parking scene lot massacre, the Denis Hopper nightmare (seeing chainsaw coming out from walls after he got drunk with mesquite, gobbling the worm.and the patron cinema being chopped off while Joe Bob Briggs comments the attack.)
The corpse that Chop-Top and Leatherface carry around with them and affectionately call 'Nubbins' (also appearing on the original cover art) is that of the hitchhiker from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Nubbins Sawyer.
Director, Tobe Hooper and co-writer of the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Kim Henkel originally had an idea for a sequel that would feature an entire town of cannibals, and also be a satire of the film Motel Hell (1980), which itself was a satire of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The title of that sequel was to be 'Beyond The Valley Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', but the studio forced considerable changes to be made to the screenplay, even hiring a new screenwriter, and the result of those changes are what became Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2.
The "family group shot," as seen in the advertisements, posters, and video covers, uses the same positioning as the promotional group shot for the movie The Breakfast Club (1985).
Dennis Hopper thought this was the worst movie he'd ever been in. He later said the same thing about Super Mario Bros. (1993).
Bill Moseley created a short film parody entitled "The Texas Chainsaw Manicure" where he played a small role as The Hitchhiker and showed it to a screenwriter, who was able to show it to Tobe Hooper. Hooper loved it and kept Moseley in mind for a part should he ever make a sequel. When the time came to cast "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", Moseley was contacted for the role of Chop-Top, The Hitchhiker's twin brother.
Lefty finds the skeleton of Franklin sitting in his wheelchair from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Lefty is Franklin and Sally's uncle.
Bill Moseley has said that his role as Chop-Top is his favorite of his own.
Caroline Williams wanted to make a strong impression at her audition. When she was called in, she went to the end of the hallway and ran screaming into the room, where she pulled Tobe Hooper and L.M. Kit Carson out of their seats and used the chairs to barricade the door before she began her scene.
Tom Savini once stated that the makeup effects that he created for Grandpa is his most proud accomplishment, which he compares to the makeup for the aged Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man (1970).
Final film of Jim Siedow
Primus sampled Chop-Top's line "Dog will hunt!" for their song 'Jerry Was a Race Car Driver
Many fans of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) disliked this movie due to its emphasis on gore and wacky humor. Tobe Hooper has argued that black humor was also present in the original film, but viewers did not acknowledge it because of its shocking content.
Tobe Hooper was originally just going to produce this movie. He eventually took over directorial duties as the film's low budget meant that they were unable to hire an affordable director.
A lengthy scene in which the Sawyer family goes out hunting for prime meat was cut for pacing but is present on the Gruesome Edition DVD.
A fire erupted one night in the downtown Austin building where much of the movie took place. When firemen arrived, they found bodies and thought they'd stumbled upon the lair of a psychopathic murderer
interview, Tobe Hooper said that cutting the film down to 90 to 100 minutes was a major priority for Cannon so they could have more screenings per day and potentially make more money.
The chainsaw used in this film belongs to Tobe Hooper and it rests in a glass display case.
The name of the hitchhiker from the first film is revealed at the end of this film when Drayton Sawyer gets a grenade off of his corpse and says "Come here, Nubbins".
When originally submitted to the MPAA, it received an "X" certificate, prompting the filmmakers to release it as "unrated".
Tobe Hooper consciously concentrated on the black comedy element of the film as he felt that had been overlooked in the original movie.
The controversial "butcher cover" of The Beatles' album "Yesterday and Today" can be seen hanging in the radio station.
Chop-Top asks Stretch if the tape of the opening scene murders is from "the Rambo III (1988) soundtrack". 'Rambo III' had not yet been written at the time 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2' came out. It was released two years later, by Carolco.
In the Sawyer clan's lair, there hangs a skeleton from the ceiling, riding a bomb and waving a cowboy hat over its head. This is an homage to the end scene in Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" from 1964.
When Lefty is in the Cut-Rite store picking chainsaws off the wall, the same model saw used by Leatherface in the first film can be seen - a Poulan 245A.
The silver saw that Lefty used was a Dolmar chainsaw. It was made for only two years and the model is unknown.
Gunnar Hansen was approached to reprise his role as Leatherface, but he claimed to have been offered "scale plus 10 percent" with the 10 percent going to his agent. When he replied that he had no agent, they offered him scale without the additional 10 percent. Hansen found the offer too low. Unit publicist Scott Holton offered an alternate story, claiming Hansen vacillated about the part and the offer was rescinded. Holton didn't believe the average viewer was even aware of who the original actors were, claiming, "Who are Neal, Hansen, or Burns?"
Edwin Neal, who played Chop-Top's twin brother The Hitchhiker in the first film, was actually a Vietnam veteran in real life.
A poster can be seen on the wall in the radio station for the band Fine Young Cannibals.
John Bloom was cast and his name is listed in the closing credits, but his scenes were edited out of the final version
Whereas the first film has an undeserved reputation for being extremely gory (it's not), this sequel dispenses with that notion and ups the splatter content.
Right after Stretch plays the tape of the chainsaw killing, she puts on the same Star Spangled Banner theme that played in Poltergeist (1982) - another Tobe Hooper movie.
(at around 30 mins) After L.G. leaves the radio station, Stretch plays The Lords of the New Church's 'Mind Warp'. The song is uncredited, though it was included in the soundtrack LP.
Grandma's chainsaw, at the end of the movie, was a Poulan 361.
The chainsaw used by Leatherface is a Craftsman 4300.
In contrast to the majority of horror films, all the victims who die are men.
Body count: 8
The Sawyers all end up being chainsawed to death (Leatherface and Chop-Top are impaled through the guts, while Drayton is stabbed/hacked through the back) as a result of one of their latest victims and a relative of their victims from the first film.
Executive producers Golan and Globus initially signaled they would seek no less than an 'R' from the Motion Picture Association of America's Classification and Rating Administration; The Cannon Group later announced that they planned to release 'Massacre 2' unrated, having failed to get an 'R' from the MPAA; Only after the picture had been screened twice in Los Angeles and failed on both occasions to get an 'R', despite trimming off some of the 'bloodier scenes'. This is why, even though the film was released, in America, Unrated; it was neither Tobe Hooper's preferred director's assembly, much less, uncut, by any means.
TCM 2 is definitely one of my favorite horror films
The original can never be topped (or chop topped 😂) but this is as great of a sequel you can make! Bigger budget clearly helped give it the gore we expected with such a title, a unexpected amazing performance by at the time new comer Bill Moseley who’s now a horror legend, and original director returning making the movie he truly wanted to do the first time all is what made this such a incredible film that’s a clear love it or hate it film, no middle. It’s by far my all time favorite film, I own multiple copies and had the amazing pleasure of meeting both Bill Moseley and Caroline Williams who signed one Copy that’s now locked away to never be viewed again, so now I have a special addition blu ray for counties rewatches. I could talk about this film and quote it all day long, but all that being said, I still give the original the respect it deserves and will always give it top spot in the series. Just wish many of the other sequels, prequels, remaking’s of this series didn’t exist. I believe that Really hurt this movie getting crapped on because some of the others were so bad that this one gets a bad wrap as well. But this is a stand alone film as a TCM sequel done right, hell, done to damn near perfection!
There would be no Devil's Rejects without this film.
It was perfection, just as the original was, but in a completely different way. Everything following in the wake of these two just can't measure up, it ain't TCM without Tobe Hooper's name on it.
"Ooooo my achin' banana!!" HAHA! This is my favorite horror comedy next to Dead Alive or Evil Dead 2. I think they're all tied for first.. Mosely knocks it out of the park with Chop Top. Hilarious! So many great quotes throughout the movie.. "Built ya a little fry house darlin'!", "Oh LG.. :) " I've seen this too many times. Great video!
So did Jim Siedow, he was awesome in the first one, but he took it next level in this one.
Love your channel and your videos. This is my favorite Texas chainsaw movie . Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for watching!
There's no telling how many times I watched this as a kid and even as a young adult, I still love the part were leather face makes her wear LGs face and leave it on for a minute. The part were he breaks thru the wall in the radio station and gets off when asked how good is he
Put it on LG's face on her & then danced with her. Who woulda known Leatherface was so romantic?
I know that I've commented before about it, but this is actually my favorite Chainsaw Massacre film, along with 3 and 3D. While I like a good serious horror movie, my heart lies with the more comedically balanced fare. Horror comedies are tops on my list, but a great balance is a close second. This one scared me in my teens, and yet it made me laugh just as much. Plus, something that I think gets looked over is the music. Amazing soundtrack.
Wait…. You liked 3D?!?!? Same actually…
3DD you mean. Dadario is one of my fave final girls from these movies. Like number 2. Stretch is number 1 though .
@@ThisusernameisnttakenI liked it too
This movie has aged like a fine wine
it’s a time capsule of it’s time just as the original
I remember when I was a kid I’d rent this movie over n over n over again , never got tired of it 😂
Be sure to grab that chainsaw and saw your way through those LIKE and Subscribe buttons. Then you'll be Lord of the Harvest.
Mosely is an absolute legend love him in everything I've seen him in he nailed his role as Otis in the devil's rejects trilogy
Ahhh this one is such a classic. It just bleeds mid 80's. Love it!
I can applaud Hooper for not rehashing the original... But never managed to embrace this sequel. To me, there is only one TCM movie.
This is my favorite film in the franchise. I love the opening car chase with No One Lives Forever blasting from the Oingo Boingos. That scene always creeped me out as a child.
My favorite scene is the chainsaw duel that was epic. 😀👍
Not sure why there was such backlash. I LOVED the film when I first saw it and thought it was absolutely hysterical. I knew that Tobi Hooper didnt want to just make another serious horror film bc he probably knew he couldn't top the original, so to respect it he made a comedy. I loved Stretch since my first viewing, she was so incredibly funny and sexy, specially with those hot ass long thick legs! 😍😍😍 "are you mad at me?? How mad at me are you!??" 😂🤣
right ? she is super underrated as a horror hottie!!
@@darrellmetcalfe3615 the ending when she did the chainsaw boogie, so hot!
My favorite film! Great video, you got a few things off though. The Beyond the Valley concept was never pitched to Canon, that was a treatment Hooper shopped around with Kim Henkel in the 70s. TCM 2 was apart of the three picture deal Hooper made with Canon from the start, the first two being Lifeforce and Invaders from Mars. Hooper always said he had complete creative control with Canon. Hooper directed not because of the budget, but because no other directors would touch it. Everybody thought it would destroy their career. In a way they are right, Hooper wouldn't make another theatrical film for another five years after TCM2.
The intro to TCM2 is awesome, going after those 2 college guys driving in reverse. Classic scene.
Loved the original. Loved part 2. They're totally different movies that have a huge place in my heart. ❤
I saw part 2 before I saw the original. So when I followed up with the original, I expected a comedy and ended up shitting my pants
Now that is a funny comment!
Choptop is hands down the best part of this movie!! The tour, the plate and the dialog was classic😂😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘 Dog will hunt!!!
One of my all time favorites. And I love hundreds of horror films…
Absolutely fantastic flick.
This movie just didn’t work for me. But I’ve been wanting to give it another try, just in case I was havin an off day.
Just rewatched on a TCM franchise marathon. It's god awful. It's literally unwatchable for me. Never again.
Good luck.
This is my all time favorite horror movie right along side TCM 1. Part 2 is so rewatchable because the set design is so amazing. I've seen this film 100s of times over the last 30 years and I always see something new when I watch it. It's such a quirky, weird, fun, nostalgic movie. I love the first 4 TCMs even though part 4 took me years to appreciate. And the 2003 remake is really good in it's own right. Wish they would have covered the Bob Elmore/Bill Johnson Leatherface controversy in this review. Bob Elmore's stories from this film are epic. For those who dont know, stuntman Bob Elmore played Leatherface 90% of the movie. Wish the TCM franchise pre 2006 got more love from CZcams horror channels.
Like any films with leatherface, Texas chainsaw massacre 2 I thought was fun, and lots more gory, love the fight at the end. Like to see the TCM films keep coming out.
Just got the dvd yesterday in the mail from ebay I'm waiting on the rest to come in the mail
This movie is just despicable, completely overdid the perfectly subtle dark humour of the original and just went full cheese making it un-scary
will always love this movie. chop top is a great bad guy.
I saw this before the original & it's one of my favorite horrors. Bill Mosely killed it with Choptop, & Jim Siedow followed up a great performance in the original with an even better one, can't believe Dennis Hopper said it was his worst role, he was awesome. The Sawyers are number one! Best chile in TX & OK...
I saw this movie for the 1st time a couple of weeks ago and i thought it was AMAZING, so many cool scenes and the set design were on another level, so many details!!!.... i also the part 3 the next day and was disappointed, i wanna watch part 4 but it looks so bad!?
its horrible but its a so bad its good....wc is ok and vilmer is awesome ,everything else is horrible.worth one watch for vilmer alone.
"What a jerk!" lol
This movie is like 50-50 some people like it some people don't I think it's a decent sequel just over the top fun
Classic 🔥🐐
I love this movie. I enjoy it more than the original.
There's so very little scenes in horror genre that are as implicit and explicitely threatening, both erotically and dangerously charged as the scene where she's stuck in an icebucket with that chainsaw pressed against her. And as a horror fan, I discovered TCM2 only 2 years ago, at 35yo. This is stuff of legends.
You could feel at that moment how Bubba was struggling against is own consciousness, throwing viewers in a momentaneous Stockholm syndrome as you felt shred of humanity in the monster, torn between lust and love for her crush as you anguished and couldn't tell if it would hit the trigger or not out of madness. That was truly a masterfully weaved scene.
Hooper was weaving horror into everything he wrote so naturally, including eroticism, and that's the hallmark of a good horror director/writer (we won't steal credits of Bryan too!). Creating variations in themes and mood roller coasters in a horror movie, sticking to the horror genre unlike so many try-hards today that chose to do horror for the sake of gratuitous, repeated and senseless violence.
This guy was toying with you and he had a way to make you squirm in your couch like no other. TCM will mostly stay a truly forever underated iconic movie, and the best part is: the 2nd was no less as amazing than the 1st.
They told the original negative print was destroyed ( the one with all the cut off scenes) i do hope, one day, someone will have a very nice surprise discovery in a metal box and could restore the vision of both Tobe Hooper and LM Kit Cartson.
I absolutely ♥️ this movie! The blackest it black humor...
The opening kills are terrifying but once the movie settled in I felt bad at the cinema cause I was laughing so much.
Always wished HBO or Showtime had produced a cable TV series featuring the Sawyer Family's home life. So bizarre...
All the cast members seem to have been in on the joke.
A neglected gem!
They made a follow up, All American Massacre in 1999, but it never got released. 😪
L.M. Kit Carson had a lot to do with the magic of this movie. So many memorable quotes. Carson wrote all that shit on the fly while filming.
Caroline Williams does have a cameo in Leatherface: TCM 3.
I wasted my life hanging out at drive-ins & cinemas...🙃
I love part 1 and 2
Caroline Williams and Danielle Harris both starred in Hatchet III.
Both movies are great in their own ways and a lot better than all the other movies
Part 2 is my favorite solely bc of his little Dancy dance
The original TCM sits alongside The Crow, Robocop, Jaws, Candyman and Hellraiser in the pantheon of brilliant genre films that inspired almost universally awful sequels.
10:11 - Best Scene EVER!!
I actually like this more than the original. It is just so manic and over the top with a great soundtrack.
Such a brilliant movie. I own the same VHS copy I've had since I was a kid since I inherited all of our family's physical media.
"I'm the Lord of the harvest!" is one of my favorite lines in cinema.
Favorite
My favorite guilty pleasure film of all time. Ridiculous, but the fun kind. :)
I actually love part 2. It’s pretty hilarious ,but it was supposed to be.
Something about him being the Lord of some Harvest.
"What's that one of those new health food buntches?"
It is hard to follow to a movie that is arguably in every horror/slasher fan's top 5. I actually think TCM 2 has a lot in common with A Nightmare on Elm st. 2 upon both initial releases. Both films went in different directions than their predecessors and we as fans werent to happy about that at the time(yep old enough to be in the theatre for both) But on repeat viewings these sequels are actually really good though different from the originals, I went into the movie theatre expecting a rehash and wasn't open to what they were trying to do. Without a doubt I can really see the influence TCM 2 has had on genre cinema since its release. I do remember thinking that wasn't good after seeing it the first time but it really stuck with me, now i realize it was just as bizarre as the original and that coupled with the humor is the point
Love this MOVIE!!!!
I don't wanna HEAR em, I wanna SEE em.
Hot Take here: I hate this movie. I even re-watched it recently and it was difficult to pull through. When people ask me what I think the scariest movie of all time is, I often tell them, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. To todays kids it's probably not all that scary but for a 6 year old me at night, and the only one up, it terrified me. It was such a simple premises and Hooper made something incredible out of nothing. Blood and guts barely shown throughout and left a lot to the imagination. When I re-watched TCM2 I was hoping for some redeeming factors, something I could grab onto and love. I could not wrap my head around what I was watching. They are such widely different movies. It's a perfect example of just using the name of an accomplished movie to sell a new one, even though they really don't have much in common. To me, its genuinely not funny, not scary in the slightest and just stupid. I likely will never watch it again, and I'm okay with that.
Dog will hunt!
I’ve also seen her as Stretch in Road House
The absolute best horror film of the 80’s !
Best Texas sequel and one of the greatest slasher sequels in general
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre film franchise always felt that it copied The Hills Have Eyes film franchise.
This movie is great because of one actor only. And it’s not Dennis Hopper, however phenomenal he was. It’s Bill Mosley as chop top. Bill Mosley doing his taxes as chop top would be entertaining.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1
Blair Witch Project
Sinister
Jaws
That’s like top tier for me. This one was ok but not nearly as traumatizing as the first one
LifeForce, Chainsaw Massacre 2 = Cocaine is a hell of a drug!
Yeah, sadly, I feel like those cops who found the burning props were disappointed this wouldn't guarantee them a detevices spot lol
Amazing film(and 3)
Almost forgot: sure wish Hooper & Cannon hadn't blown all their money on the first two movies of their three picture deal. I think Lifeforce is a stunning movie with an original premise (& a drop dead gorgeous nude for most of the running time) but Invaders from Mars an uninteresting
unnecessary reboot...
It was a good movie and the idea was very appropriate for the 90s. But I really appreciate that Leatherface got his seriousness, aggression and determination back... For a character like this, it's a waste to make it stupidly funny.
Was released in 1986 thought
tcm2 is one of my favorite
can you do wtf happened to ghoulies 4?
I do believe this one is better than the original. I absolutely loved Stretch.
No secret, it's the meat. Don't skimp on the meat. I've got a real good eye for prime meat. Runs in the family
I saw this one before original. Latter on I found it hilarious years latter. But in the or try grade this one terrified me 😂😂😂 I took it pretty serious at time when they said based on true story somewhere?😂😂😂
It's a good crazy sequel and the only one with real continuity. Nothing beats the original.
Love this film
This is my second favorite movie in the franchise. It’s sad to see the og Leatherface and lefty actors being such arrogant assholes about the movie. It’s infuriating to see actors trashing movies they should be grateful to be a part of. It’s nice to know that the other actresses and actors involved are so grateful for their roles
I like the second movie its good 80s schlocky comedy horror. The original just had a more gritty dirty feel to it. They don't feel like they exist in the same universe.
Tobe Hooper and George Lucas, two filmmakers who never should've been allowed to 'revisit' their original masterpiece.
I liked it
best horror ever
