Leatherface in DRAG? What the fudge?! Well, considering the fact that Leatherface's character was originally based on Ed Gein, much like Norman Bates in Psycho and Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs (both of whom were also obviously cross dressers), it isn't surprising. Stupid, yes. Surprising, no.  Ed Gein reportedly wanted to become a woman. Although he never managed to attain that particular goal, he would reportedly don a female "suit" that was carefully crafted from the skin of his female victims. Unfortunately, there's absolutely no tactful way to discuss Ed Gein or his activities, but let's just say that calling him a freak would be an understatement. In reality, he was more twisted than Norman Bates, Buffalo Bill and Leatherface combined.  |

The guy that played Leatherface in this movie died  I bought the DVD just to have the entire collection. Not the best movie in the series, but it's good for what I paid for. I was suprised Walmart even had this for sale too for $5 |

I just think that they left the history of TCM behind on this one. I mean, the eat pizza, not flesh! |

Sorry if my two cents has arrived late (real late) on this one, but flogging a dead horse is my style. Firstly, I totally agree that The Next Generation is the worst in the TCM series. However, Leatherface's cross dressing habits in the film do hold true to the character created in the original TCM. The original Leatherface was a psycho that wore many masks. He was fierce and brutal at times, but also exhibited a more fragile side. In the original film, we see poor Leatherface fussing and fretting while wearing a very domestic looking apron (after all, he was the one left alone all day to tend to the house and unwanted guests). As well, you may notice some lipstick and mascara on the mask he wears during the films climax (the infamous dinner). It is well documented that there was a cut scene showing Leatherface beautifying himself for dinner by applying this makeup. So, there was a lot more of Ed Gein's depraved nature woven into the first film than one might ultimately recognise. I believe the greatest injustice to the history of TCM by this particular film is the fact it was not entertaining in the least. |

I didnt think it was that bad.the only things i would take out is the government people towards the end of the movie.what i would add is leatherface actually useing his chainsaw on someone.
Leatherface screamed too much in this one.he prolly screamed more than the people getting killed (lol) anyways,I heard the movie was a remake but in the 90's.But i still concider it the forth film.
What i also didnt like is the acting of Renee.she wasnt scared.

The x-files twist at the end still confuses me. Why didn't renee try to alert any of the hospital staff?
As for the government twist are they planning to transplant Leatherface in Iraq?

Well, Kim Henkel should have passed this opportunity up. An even more redundant sequel than the one which preceeded it (what is the precedent for horror sequels that hold up to the original by the way?).
File under hopeless.

The Illuminati twist thingy (which I still don't get) turned me off this movie mainly. And it's a very shallow film, if you get what I mean.

maybe this movie would have been actually better, without that weird twist and leatherface actually doing something instead of that awfull screaming he does on the whole movie, this was the first sequel i saw (sadly) for tcm and kept me away from seeing other sequels, but that changed when i saw the breakfast club cover of tcm 2 on my video store and i couldnt resist ajaja ! |

Lol yeah, I have that cover. Its not the fact Leatherface screamed too much possibly, it must be the acting, he didn't go far as phycotic, but pissed off and the same goes for the other actors. It to me was a very watchable film, only its not a massacre! That chainsaw never even killed anyone!

Yup.
And to the acting, it was like, "Damn! There's killers wanting to kill me here. Damnit!" For Renee.
