CJFouraki As far as I'm concerned, this movie rocked. From start to finish, it's a pumped up, energetic, bat sh*t insane ride. An under-appreciated horror classic. Cult status for sure.The family is back with another added loon to the mix, returned home from the Vietnam war, who mixes in perfectly with his crazy brothers. The psychos are all portrayed perfectly, absolutely insane and delightfully erratic, spontaneous and vibrant. The other added joy to this pumped up horror flick is a chainsaw wielding Dennis Hopper descending into lunacy.The characters are superb, each getting a little time to go absolutely insane and break loose all hell. The psychos are all distinct, both visually and character wise, so they don't just feel like rehashes of each other. Livens up the movie.There are a lot of superb scenes in this ranging from moving car chases with Leatherface, to the underground human meat tunnels, to a music room showdown, to a CHAINSAW BATTLE. This movie goes above and beyond to go bigger. However, it ain't better than the original. Since it's a comedy now, it's lost that raw, horror film to it, truly embracing the horror, action comedy that it's labeled itself as. There's nothing wrong with this though as it stands apart from its predecessor, unique and flashy, and I'll be damned if I didn't have a blast watching it.For horror fans, and fans of the first, treat yourself to this cocaine fueled, steroid pumped sequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and have a damn good time. 7.5/10 horrifically fun.

keelhaul-80856 Where do I begin?1) Somehow, the Sawyer family is still roaming around, killing lots of people with chainsaws and even serving them as chili to local events and winning awards? Dennis Hopper(a former ranger? marshal?) knows it, and had family murdered by them, but no other cops believe it?2)Leatherface looks like he is auditioning for Soul Train with some truly hilarious dance moves, shaking his chainsaw over his head.3)Hopper tries out saws at a local store, and he hits a log with it as if swinging an axe-- a good way to de-limb yourself; meanwhile, the store owner seems excited, and the dialogue makes NO SENSE. 4)2 teen idiots are attacked by the family. Somehow, a truck in reverse is able to drive straight(backwards) all the way down a bridge while keeping pace with a speeding sports car, while Leatherface stands up in the bed, sawing through the car and killing people. One of the kids shoots him with a revolver, but it only knocks off his mask??? This opening scene let me know how stupid this film was going to be.5)A radio host(100 lb. female) is left alone late at night in a secluded place to work. She plays a tape of the 2 college dudes getting sawed up, which apparently draws the killers to the station to stop her from outing them. Although, this tape proves ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, other than some dorks making noise with saws and yelling, and doesn't even give a clue as to who killed them or where it happened. Unbelievably stupid.6)Leatherface suddenly has a tender side? He rubs the girl's crotch with his saw and seems to have a crazed orgasm in his pants, then can't seem to hit anything with the saw as he fumbles around like Michael J. Fox with a cup of coffee. This scene is so bad it belongs in a Hall of Fame.7)What kind of sick blackmail did they have on a star like Dennis Hopper to force him into this project? He must have been in debt to the mob or on acid when he signed up for this.8)The script is like something from a 5th grade play.9)They beat the crap out of the other DJ with a hammer and sawed him up, but hours later, he is still alive and able to free the girl?10)These stupid, inbred retards are somehow able to run a profitable food business, and hide out with corpses spread across a huge attraction theme park area??? Who is buying stuff from them or interacting with them, thinking these guys are even remotely normal?11)Instead of bringing a gun or sneaking in, Hopper brings like 30 chainsaws(so he can have a Star Wars saber duel?) and screams 50 ft. away from the hideout to announce he is there. He then cuts random beams that should have collapsed on his head and harmed him.12)How is grandpa still alive at 137? Must be the superb health coverage offered by his troglodyte relatives and their sanitized retirement home environment? Laughably ludicrous. It is as if they could not decide if this was to be dark comedy or scary horror. It translates to a gory mess that is so stupid you can't help but shake your head and laugh. Apparently there were obvious miscommunications, as the studio wasn't happy.

PimpinAinttEasy Dear Rob Zombie, I bet you were inspired by the antics of the redneck characters in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 when you wrote House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects. You made a truly great work of art with the Devil's Rejects. In its own way, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is also a great work of art. The nihilism of the psychopathic redneck family grates on your nerves after a while. Dennis Hopper appears and disappears. His alcoholic cop character deserved more space. Caroline Williams was easy on the eyes. It was too gross for a mainstream American film. I was not offended by the gluttony which the villains indulged in. But it did seem like the Tobe Hopper got carried away by the schlock. Not that it wasn't amusing. Bill Moseley was hilarious when he first confronts Caroline Williams. The two loud party goers were quite amusing and their make up was creative. The film's set design deserves special mention. Rob, you borrowed the worst attributes of this film and made a damn good movie with The Devil's Rejects.Best Regards, Pimpin.(7/10)

Michael Loughrie This movie isn't TERRIBLE. I gave it a 3 out of 10 because it is just disappointing the the original, in the original they let a girl get away and shouldn't that girl have told the police about the murderers? The thing should have been all over. If this was a sequel it should have been about the beginning of it all. Not into the future. The movie just made no sense. If you get the time right, Leatherface was 34 in the first movie, if this movie takes place 13 years later. He should be 47. So they been at for 17 years? How did they go from a house to an abandon circus. Did they move? So did they just leave all the other dead body parts in the other house and drive in their truck? They snuck in the circus and moved there? How did they get their victims? More people wanted to sneak in or did Leatherface come out of the circus and look for victims. In some scenes in "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2" you can see Leatherface comes into houses and cars to kill his victims, then he brings their bodies. Then he butchers them at the circus. So it's a bit stupid. In the original people would go INTO the house and die. In this movie people would be kidnapped.Overall the movie sucked.
