Quotes

Narrator: August 18, 1973. News of a bizarre, chainsaw wielding family - reports which were to ignite the world's imagination - began to filter out of central Texas. Regrettably not one of the family members was ever apprehended and for more than ten years ...

Goofs

As Jenny escapes, she smashes a window, breaking the middle wooden slat. When Leatherface returns to the window, the wooden slat is now back and intact.

Crazy Credits

In the end credits, the "Patient on Gurney" actress was credited as ANONYMOUS.

Alternate Versions

The 1997 release, titled "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" cuts several scenes, including a subplot in which Jenny is abused by her stepfather. This is the only version currently available on video and runs 84 minutes (the original cut ran 95 minutes). The longer uncut version differs from the shorter "Next Generation" version in the following other ways:

• Said to take place in 1994, not 1996
• Matthew McConaughey's name is misspelled in the closing credits
• There is an early scene in which Jenny's stepfather barges into her room, threatens her and slams her against the wall
• There is more dialogue between Barry and Heather in the car
• Most scenes and shots throughout the movie are longer (cut for time in other versions)
• The towtruck scene is NOT intercut with Jenny, Heather, & Barry leaving Darla's office
• Jenny and Darla have a longer conversation in the bathroom
• Music and sound effects are almost entirely different
• The scene with Jenny escaping the house at dawn is tinted blue; the following scene with the motorhome and the towtruck is tinted orange.
