The film was already heavily cut to meat the runtime nixing several important plot threads. It was also one of the few movies of the 80s to be ballsy enough to be released Unrated after initially getting an X-rating rather than making numerous cuts to secure an R for a more commercial break in theaters. Dennis Hopper may have declared it one of the worst films he was ever in (he had a long list of those actually), but I find it delightfully effective and creepy and he's very good in it. I’ve seen this movie many many times, but this outing I found the sight of Leatherface using a teeny tiny turkey carver on a body to slice up a snack to be one of the funniest images in the film. This time around with the help of monster gore effects maestro Tom Savini, every flood of blood or sliver of liver is on screen for you to digest. The first film hid the gore making it all the more shocking because you had to imagine the horror. Among those changes was the presentation of gore. Tobe Hooper was under the Yorum/Globus Cannon gun to deliver a sequel starting in on this mere weeks after finishing Invaders From Mars and he was smart enough not to try to redo his original masterpiece and instead go in a completely different direction. The first film too had its share of dark giggles but it was far less overt. While it took me a number of viewings to warm up to this sequel, it’s still a hell of a fun and darkly hilarious film. The original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is and will always remain one of the most visceral and shocking horror films of its era and a neigh impossible benchmark to topple for any future Chainsaw film. Of the sequels, remakes, reboots, retcons, requels, and several prequels it’s easily the best of the franchise. For my own part, I too dearly love and enjoy this film. Enious Duarte have the final word on the quality of the film. Since we’ve covered three other Blu-ray releases of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 on Blu-ray already, I’ll ultimately be letting my colleague M. Convincing rock radio DJ Stretch (Caroline Williams) to play the tape of the boy’s demise on the radio, he hopes to drive the killers out into the open, but he only unleashes another chainsaw-fuelled nightmare of mayhem when Chop-Top (Bill Moseley) and Leatherface (Bill Johnson and Tom Morga) come calling into the radio station - in person. Everyone in law enforcement believes he’s a cracked-up cop, but he knows the truth and when a pair of partying high schoolers end up as buzzed-up road kill while calling into a radio show, he knows he’s getting close. For years, former Texas Ranger Lieutenant “Lefty” Enright (Dennis Hopper) has hunted all across Texas for the madmen who killed his nephew Franklin and drove his niece Sally insane.
