I agree, it was funny, and scary. The cook was the best part, Jim Seidow was so funny. I liked the Chop-Top character too, he was crazy and fit right in with the Sawyer family  |

I think TCM2 is equel to TCM1.its realy hard to deside. But the scene where the yuppies get their heads sawed off by Leatherface on the back of the truck with "Nubbins" that was one of the best parts in horror movie history.  |

I don't think it's the equal of TCM but then it doesn't set out to be the same kind of film so it's probably wrong to compare (although comparisons are inevitable because of the title). I do think it's very underrated (at the time it came out it was almost universally slated) but it's funny how the fans hated it at first and now fans love it (don't know if it's a new generation of fans and their tastes are different or if it's the old fans and they now look at the film with a new perspective).
It's certainly the best of the sequels and has some genuinely creepy moments as well as some scary stuff (Leatherface busting onto the scene at the radio station) and some good laugh-out-loud moments. It's really the first film all over again but with the gore level amped up and the comedy much more explicit. In the areas where Hooer tried to make a different film from the original (mainly with the satire on consumerism and yuppies) you can see where Canon tried to reign in his vision and it's there that the film doesn't succeed so well.
What I've never understood is why Hardesty needed to be renamed Hardesty Enright. Why didn't they just call the character Lefty Hardesty?

As for "best horror film of the eighties" that award goes to Hellraiser.
