Fun fact: The wheelchair guy (Franklin Hardesty) was "in character" for the most of the movie and especially off-screen and the cast got so annoyed by him that the guy playing Leatherface couldn't wait for the part where he died to happen.
He actually said that “Franklin was such a whiny bastard that I was afraid if I turned him off I’d lose him.”
Gunner Hanson was Leatherface. His performance was underrated. He made leatherface an American icon.
You haven't lived until you have watched this movie. Truly a classic horror film and one of my favorites
Glad we finally saw it. For sure scary 😧
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 now that both of y'all love birds checked out Original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre here are some other Cannibalistic Horror Movies also influenced by 1nce upon a time Cannibalistic Serial Killer Sawney Bean (Wrong Turn Franchise (Original Version: Wrong Turn 2003, Wrong Turn 2 2007, Wrong Turn 3 2009, Wrong Turn 4 2011, Wrong Turn 5 2012 & Wrong Turn 6 2014), The Hills Have Eyes Franchise, Hillside Cannibals 2006 & Silence of the Lambs)
I highly recommend checking out sometime please!
I think you’ll find the modern versions of TCM will have more graphic special effects, but will lack the raw, faded, documentary-film look of this one, which I believe is what makes it so unique.
The modern ones are way too polished.
This movie never gets old, and we will never get anything like this again
Truth 😨
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 cause good movies like this are rare today
Disturbing fact: the guy who played leatherface was so tired during the dinner scene that he actually wanted to kill the actress that plays Sally plus he actually cut her finger because he got mad that the fake skins wasn’t cutting off and grandpa was drinking her real blood.
This one turned everything on its head; both with level of violence and the starkness of presentation. A game changer and the blueprint for the 'docu-horror' genre going forward.
We can certainly see why it’s a classic
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2Leatherface is somewhat based on the butcher of Plainfield Wisconsin Ed gein
20:45 And thats how Franklin's Demise became a perk in DBD.
Basically the perk makes the survivors drop their items once hit by the killer.
I cheered so hard the first time I saw the scene

RIP, Gunnar Hansen (d. 2015), the original Leatherface.
TCM is almost a PG movie lol. The lack of blood and the fact that things are implied and we understand it is insane.
I live just outside of Austin and near there they reopened that gas station in the movie that sold the Barbecue as an actual Barbecue place. People go there on Halloween to eat lol.
"If I have any more fun today, I don't think I'm gonna be able to take it!"
Fun Fact: According to John Larroquette, his payment for doing the opening narration was a marijuana joint.
Historical Fact: The film is fictional and based loosely on the life of Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein, who was a sick puppy. There's plenty on the guy, just search his name.
Professional Actor Fact: Tobe Hooper allowed Gunnar Hansen to develop Leatherface as he saw fit, under his supervision. Hansen decided that Leatherface was mentally handicapped and never learned to talk properly, so he went to a school for the mentally handicapped and watched how they moved and listened to them talk to get a feel for the character. He also tried his best to make his portrayal as non-offensive as he could. Many fans including those who are mentally handicapped, say he succeeded.
MPAA Hacks Fact: Surprisingly, this film is one of the least bloody horror films of all time. This is because Tobe Hooper intended to make the movie for a "PG" rating, by keeping violence moderate, language mild, excluding nudity entirely, and having most of the horror implied off-screen rather than shown in great detail onscreen. However, this plan had actually backfired, and made the film even more horrifying. Because despite cutting and repeated submissions, the Ratings Board insisted on an "X" rating, and it wasn't until the film received the "R" rating when Hooper gave up and released it. Hooper had a similar ratings problem with the sequel.
😂 what a great payment 😶🌫️
My favorite horror movie of all time, it starts disturbing, then it's a slow boil that eventually culminates in absolute madness
"Daddy's Sick Again" -- Arkey Blue. Great old Texas honky-tonk tune. The guy who did this film's opening narrative was actor, John Larroquett ("Night Court").
Can’t believe that was him! Loved watching reruns of that show when I was a kid 😅
What’s actually interesting is that the three of them are brothers. Dragoon the cook, Nubbins the hitchhiker, and Bubba aka Leahterface, and then grandpa. The Sawyer Family.
Drayton not dragoon my bad
Oh wow. Thought for sure he was the dad but brother makes sense too. They are all freaky 😱
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 yeah if you watch any more of them then they really screw with the family like changing names and it gets confusing. This and the reboot are by far the best.
By them I mean the sequels thc2 is good though
oh yea, pop culture and some of the sequels always glorified Leatherface as a horror icon because of his memorable looks. But the family has always been crazier and creepier
Right?! 😨😱
This film is just Iconic this was a film where the actors never got paid what they deserved the dinner shot was done during the day and they had the windows covered up and the heat was unreal their is so many things that were real just like the broom scene she really was hit hard with the broom and her finger was cut with that knife hats off to this crew and R.I.P. Tobe Hooper for a classic thriller. Happy you watched this one first.
The dinner table scene leatherface is wearing Jerrys face (with make up) and hair. No one ever seems to notice that. Love your reaction.
Leather face is a direct inspiration from a real life serial killer named Ed Gein. He was a cannibal and made furnitures of dead people. Plus made a skin mask like Leather Face did.
He also became an inspiration of Norman Bates, where Ed in real life also had a crazy religious mother who said women are evil. Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs, where dresses up like a woman. Just like Ed Gein.
Just stopped by to say thx. Being a kid in the earlier ‘70’s. And seeing it in the theaters, terrifying. Before CGI, blood, it’s a great psychological thriller, elements based on true stories (Ed Gein, also the inspiration for the classic film Psycho)
Broom beats knife. A tale as old as time.
The broom is bigger and heavier.
When you said "poor guy" re Franklin, I laughed and thought, you'll be begging for him to get killed in about half an hour 🤣🤣
Haha, yeah sometimes sympathy is misplaced 🤗
One of my neighbors has a life size mannequin of Leatherface
That’s a good Halloween decoration or is it just up all the time? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 they actually still have it up. I think they put it on the front porch on the first of October.
I love horror movies, but I don't watch them to get scared. I simply watch them because I like/enjoy them.
There is a texas chainsaw massacre game its fun you have the house in this movie for a map and all the killers from the movie with the red gen, the toy out side the front entrance, the gas station as well
Considering the incredibly long, tough, arduous conditions of the shoot I was always impressed with the actors (among those who granted interviews) restraint from Diva- like complaint toward Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel (chief creators, Hooper directed). They were honest and forthcoming but never self righteous. Like good soldiers, they never made it personal. Rather, the thing that left a bitter taste in their mouths was their robbery by the distributor Lou Peraino of Bryanston Co. which was a mafia front company created to launder proceeds from the huge adult hit Deep Throat. Bryanston had other hit films including Chainsaw and grew notorious for falsifying playdate and box office reports. As the cast's payments were dependent on points participation this meant they were cheated by enormous amounts over several years. Eventually when Bryanston went under distribution rights for Chainsaw went to New Line cinema and the actors finally got some recompense but the big opening hype about the film had come and gone by then.
Damn. Had no idea about that 😯
Guys, do watch "TCM: a Family Reunion" documentary. Meet the cast out of make-up, describing their experience filming this movie. It is a wonderfully enlightening, and humanistic perspective to the experience. Enjoy!
The gas station is actually in Bastrop Texas. They sell barbecue, and you can even rent a cabin to stay in for the night. I know this because I’m here right now!

Truly a classic but..we've seen this when i was to young (was not a good idea) and from a todays perspective.. the only thing i like it, is the room with all the skeletons and feathers.. this is so intense and makes me super uncomfortable. And to be fair the remake from 2006 was good too.
Super intense indeed. More psychological horror too than we expected 😱
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 When you like to see a really good psychological horror movie without gore.. Black Swan 2010, with Natalie Portman inspired from the all time classic and great on a different level anime "Perfect Blue"
Movie recomandation:halloween remake (2007) and halloween 2 remake (2009)
Can y'all believe that Tobe Hooper was trying to convince the MPAA to give TCM a PG rating?! They said HELL NO. I'm pretty sure it was NC-17 back in the day and it was also banned in many countries including the UK. Fun facts.
There was no NC-17 when this came out. It was G, PG, R, and X.
Man, I think that times are crazy nowadays, and then I remember the 1970s
For horror audiences, this was #3. In 1967, there was NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD with 'gore' being cannibalism ideals (scrambling over innards). There were tons of low-budget horrors before that but none reached national distribution. Then, shedding the low-budget constraints, 1973 brought THE EXORCIST to much the same audience and everyone's idea of what horror and fright - and disgusting scenes - were mixed together. Audiences did battle over LIVING DEAD vs. EXORCIST, but EXORCIST generally won some debates - after all, LIVING DEAD has some comic relief - EXORCIST had zero. And then, here comes TEXAS CHAINSAW where at the implication of gore was beyond LIVIND DEAD and the relentless of the villains (The Demon vs. Chainsaw family vs. Zombies Everywhere) kept the debate going. As 1975 rolled forward, Horror Audiences waved goodbye to Hammer Horror and were funneled into sequel-city... and knock-off copies (THE OMEN and THE HILLS HAVE EYES.)
The old house was just north of Austin Tx. I went in and filmed it in the1990s. The night shots in the movie was taken during the day and it was 100 degrees out side and black blankets were covered the windows no AC------that would make me scream lol.
Would love to see your footage if you still have it
"Ah think we just picked up Dracula" -- Franklin
AKA: Chainsaw'd Man.😂
Not James Cameron, he directed Aliens, the sequel. Ridley Scott directed the original Alien.
In the remake from 2006 also the prequal you get more backstory on the Family (called Hewitt) and i guess its the uncle in this version, were he pretends to be the Sheriff and he is the worst and super disgusting, way more then Leatherface who is rather a "tool". Actually i stopped watching movies like this.
Probably a good thing. We stopped watching the Saw movies after the first one
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Fair enough.. the first one had some good cuts and music..also more like a horror thriller.. I've seen 1-7..and the plot of a big revenge story behind this tortua porn is actually pretty good..specially in Part 6 with a huge critic to the american health system.. but still tortua porn..
Perhaps only the original and remakes were really successful in this franchise. The rest was either not approved by the majority (2nd, 3rd, 3D, TCM2023), or was "recognized" as garbage (4th, LF).
This movie was an ordeal for them all to make. One of the actors was a Vietnam vet who actually preferred the war to this movie. I think it was probably he at least had a gun and an enemy.
Loved this movie reaction and hopefully you'll react to the sequel down the line and when/if you will you'll see the huge difference between this one and the second
😎👍🙂
Eh.. my favorite Texas Chainsaw movie is rather the one with Jessica Biel 😏
(Jessica also being one of the reasons of why I like that movie the best from the bunch / remakes) 😁
That’s totally fair 😉
Hey Ken your doppelganger lives in my town, your voice is different but it's uncanny how much you look alike
I actually just change my voice when I see you so you won’t recognize me 😜😇
Why did I keep expecting the dude to say "that's what she said"?
You should watch The Shocking Truth, it's a documentary about the making of this film.
So what you think kiddies do you love it?
No even when this movie was made it wasn't gory. The director was trying to get a PG rating. (This movie was made before pg-13 existed so thw only choices were PG and R). Lol the movie only has about a cup of blood in the whole movie
Ah okay. That makes sense to try and get it PG so more people can see it. Wonder how bad it would’ve been if they just went for R
I wouldn't recommend any of the franchise sequels, prequels derived from this horror classic as the gore they exhibit feels contrived & gratuitous, and they don't present anything close to the realistic, (and as you mentioned) psychological dread that the original TCM film displays...great reaction.
Thanks for the tip. This was unexpected with the type of horror it was. We always assumed it was super gory which is why it took us so long to watch haha 🤗
Ridley Scott directed Alien.
I love this movie but have never been scared or creeped out by it so reactions from normal people who do are so fun. If you any questions about it feel free to ask. (Quick layups: Its not actually a true story, jerry died, and that guy is another brother not dad)
Brother makes sense. Not sure why we got the vibe he was the dad. So this is not based on a true killer? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 It is in a very loose sense. Ed Gein in Wisconsin did rob graves to make furnishings from human parts, and killed a couple people. But that's about it. The cannibal family and leatherface were never real and the attacks in the film never happened. Quite a few people think this movie was a play-by-play of a real event and..no lol. The films documentary framing and filming style definitely contributed to this before the 2000s when you could look stuff up online. Though there are very persistent folklore/myths in some parts of texas "oh yeah my uncle was a guard at the prison they kept leatherface in" kinda stuff. The cook is the oldest brother by a good amount and is basically in charge of the house so it's easy to get that impression. Although it matters in discussions of their family dynamics because it changes how to interpret him if he's an older brother or their father. Most of my knowledge comes from documentaries, commentary tracks and a couple books but I'd like to get ahold of the original script [which the video game draws from], it has a few more family members similar to the 2003 reboot (also great but goes a different direction and is sorta nastier).
And Ed Gein did wear outfits made of human skin. Quite a lot of horror films drew from things he did but that in particular (Silence of the Lambs being the most noteworthy in mainstream circles along with Psycho)
Is it weird that I wanna see Ken grow out his facial hair?
As a guy myself Ive always hated whenever my girlfriends would tell me that I looked weird without a beard. But since Ken is always cleanshaven I kinda wanna see him go full mountain man
😂 I would if I could just to see, but I can’t really grow a beard. It’d be patchy as hell. I have basically no hair on my arms. It’s weird. 🤗
you guys should react to the game!
There is no blood in this movie.
This one is the best.. Second one good.. If you want gore, I just say Lucio Fulci.. Good reaction..
Hey guys - if you enjoyed this movie, is there any chance you can check out the TCM game?
It’s published by the same guys who published Friday The 13th : The Game - I think you’d love it!
Plus, the finishers are pretty brutal.
Grandpa is 130 so he did age well
Ken have you been working out? looks like you've gained some muscle
pobre sally sufrio mucho vio morir a su hermano sus amigos asesinados a martillazos y ella torturada fisica y psicologicamente hasta volverse loca
I didn't know Mike Dirnt did reactions 💩💩💩 DOOKIE !!
Try House of a Thousand Corpses a Rob Zombie Movie
They have a lil bit of self respect lol.. that movie is absolutely top 3 worst horror movies 😂
Definitely not definitive. Definitely not ready for this movie
Stick 20 more commercials in there why don’t you?

The only thing worse than people who make "reaction videos" are the people who watch them and support.
