The humor fails big time. Using your chainsaw as a penis isn't funny, it's just ridiculous. Portraying everyone from Texas with that accent is lazy and amateur too. Dennis Hopper proves that even a great actor needs a somewhat decent script, man that guy was really awful in this movie. Hooper will show you a snipit of the action you want to see then cut away and show some guy talking for 50 seconds for no reason which makes for a frustrating experience. One of the worst endings ever filmed.

If you like movies with chainsaws, this one has plenty! Who would have thought a Chainsaw Massacre sequel could work as a comedy? The best part of the movie is Dennis Hopper's character Lefty. Wait till you see what he brings to the table!

Why do fools fall in love?

The chainsaw fight made it for me.

well, i like it. ^^

A few good scenes, but mostly failed attempt at funny

I understand that Tobe Hooper didn't believe that people understood the inteded humor of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. However, I feel he missed the mark in this sequel as well. The performances were more over the top and better acted, and the effects were superior, but the feel of the original was completely lost. Overall the end product was inferior to the original.

This gets a bump from me. This movie is classic b-horror and so much more. Would it ever be able to beat the original absolutely not. It helped in solidifying Bill Mosely as a horror star, and Dennis Hopper was truly excellent in the film. This is just a good old fashioned crazy horror movie, not much to it but murder and mayhem and the ending that we all come to expect from these types of films.

Overlong, underwritten sequel. Far bloodier than the original, with gory but routine Tom Savini makeup FX, this has some nice black comic touches (like the chainsawers becoming popular Houston caterers) but completely lacks the pacing and grisly atmosphere of its classic predecessor.

GET THAT BITCH, LEATHERFACE, GET THAT BITCH! DOG WILL HUNT!

Drops all the suspense from the original in favor of over the top sillyness that mostly falls flat, with horrible overacting to boot. The bodycount is much too small for a film like this, and with only three 'normal' characters as possible meat-fodder you end up with Dennis Hopper sawing through theme park support beams for half the running time. Still, that chainsaw duel made up for some of the flaws.

The second movie in a series seems way too early to get silly with your lead horror icon. Leatherface now does a goofy little dance with his chainsaw, uses it as an overt phallic symbol, and even brandishes a carving knife in place of his chainsaw in one scene. Meanwhile, Hopper and Mosley are running around being nuts. Although it is a complete departure from the first, it is pretty lovable in its own way.

Legitimately one of the funniest films I've ever seen. I really have to wonder if the people who hate it understood what it is.

Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit

Dennis Hopper is as insane as the plot, which happens to be as crazy as Klaus Kinski.

An absolutely batshit movie that takes the concept of the first movie and essentially parodies it. I love this take on the slasher genre, though I can see why many would be put off by it. Seems like a real "love it or hate it" kind of thing, but Dennis Hopper having a chainsaw duel with Leatherface is pretty classic in my book. It kind of falls apart a bit at the end, but overall a nice follow-up and LEAGUES ahead of every other sequel in the series.

Not very good at all. At times it feels like a comedy, and at other times an action movie, completely leaving behind any sense of tension the original had. At times it felt like a parody of the original, like the hammer scene with grandpa. The killers are so casual and unprofessional about their killings it's surprising they haven't got caught yet. Their "lair" is needlessly elaborate, and ridiculously unrealistic. The gore in this was purely there to gross people out, and it didn't really fit.

Uneven sequel, but it certainly has its moments.

You know you have a shit film when Dennis Hopper kitted out with three chainsaws and a ten-gallon hat can't save it. The director obviously thinks the dinner scene from the first one is his opus because that oh-so-wacky mood is stretched out across the whole movie, hell he even recreates it for no good reason. Leatherface is changed from a shambling terror to a tragic figure who drives girls away just because he wears someone's flayed face! Some guys can't catch a break.

Woefully underrated sequel remains Hooper's last triumph to date. The satire is sharp, and the gore is definitely shocking.

Tolerable. But Barely. Annoying characters who never shut up. Even some amusing moments with Hopper can't save it.

As sequels goes, this is up there as one of the weirdest. Films produced by the defunked Cannon I have seen have either been, or both, charmingly low budget and, as with the laser ninja in American Ninja, can suddenly become exceptionally bizarre, this film taking the latter to its extreme. Its no wonder fans of the original hated this, but from the hyper mad performances to the background scenery, there is so many peculiar things in this that it is as compelling as a car crash.

LICK MY PLATE DOG DICK.

Perhaps it's the mood I'm in every time I see this film, but I truly like it. It's not just a simple horror film, and that's why it's so great; the psychosexual content, the almost Japanese ghost story like quality, and Dennis Hopper in a chainsaw fight with Leatherface! The sets are wonderful, and add to the incredible sense of atmosphere. I'm not a fan of many horror films, but I like this one. Also: it's quirky. I'll take quirky horror over torture porn any day.

so-so mix of horror and humor

The best thing about the film is the poster, an excellent parody of The Breakfast Club. Pretty much everything in this film is lacking and most disappointingly, the black humor doesn't work. Furthermore, Savini's makeup effects suck and Hopper isn't over the top enough. Might be the only time I wanted Hopper to be MORE insane, the role called for it.

Gleefully excessive and filled with blatant subtexts expressed more subtly in other films (the "sex" scenes between Leatherface and Stretch, for example), it's a fun diversion for horror fans but ultimately pretty disposable.

Hooper is a real master of the genre. This is probably the single scariest horror movie sequel ever made. While not entirely as perfect as the original TCM, TCM2 has many wonderfully twisted, and very original scenes.

Even with Dennis Hopper (or in spite of Dennis Hopper) this film could not be saved
