Cannon Films hoped to cash-in off of this follow-up to Tobe Hooper's 70's horror classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"(1974), however instead of a cash-grab sequel, Hooper delivered this unique sequel/parody horror/comedy of sorts. An over-the-top, macabre, black comedy, fever dream, from its dual-chainsaw-wielding Dennis Hopper, to "Leatherface's" sexy little wiggle dance, the movie's frenzied tone manged to squeeze its fair share of grimacing giggles out of me.

This feels closer in tone and in garish, noisy style to the director's own Death Trap than it does to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It has a few interesting moments, but doesn't really work as a whole. Relentless, daft, and relentlessly daft.

And now you see where Rob Zombie got his inspiration. Tobe Hooper's part 2 is absolutely bonkers. It is easy to understand why viewers struggled with this in 1986, as this surely did not jive with expectations. However, the collective embrace of the film is well deserved as it strives to be fun from start to finish. That final shot. Wonderful.

Tough to grade this, but I'm glad I knew Hooper was trying to make a "satire"/black comedy . He completely fails at the latter. What he does succeed at is painting an ugly portrait of Texans who I'm guessing are meant to represent the audience for this? He's also masterful at creating nightmarish dreamscapes esp (& unfortunately) by prolonging the mental torture of his victim. It's unpleasant but presumably that's what the audience wants. She's also more proactive than most which is a plus.

It seems that a lot of people missed the thematic nature within the film because the movie is so good at distracting you with scares and jokes. The first one is about the isolation of rural families because of industrial capitalism and this one is about the excess of Regan era capitalism(boomer parents burnt out hippy kids turned serial killers, tunnels used to navigate the rotted underbelly of America’s largest most perverted state). Also the chainsaw penis scene is GOAT!! Pure id

In basically none of the conventional ways that a movie can be described as good is this movie good, but I must admit that there's something memorable in it's utterly bizarre, macabre, fever-dream sensibility. It's definitely not dull bad, it's the bad that makes you raise an eyebrow when the credits roll and go "Huh. Well that was something." And that set of lungs on Caroline Williams - talk about a scream queen!

Now a woman swings chainsaw - after killing grandma! Hooper updates the raw original to decade of emptiness with comic book violence (recreates the dinner) and dark humor (dad got saw in the ass by Lefty): a DJ and a former Ranger (LEFTY) face Sawyer family, now more powerful than ever (a maze-like park of hooks and bodies, a Devil's playground, Lefty says). Leather falls for DJ -- even posing saw as his virgin dick -- and Lefty tries to beat them at their own game (using 3 saws). Moseley great.

On the one hand a jumbled mess of pace and tone and character - but on the other, we have a scene where our lead laments a friend’s death while wearing his face, and there’s an uncharacteristically confused and detached Dennis Hopper double-fisting bourbon and chainsaws, singing about God and Hell while destroying private infrastructure all faster than a Lone Star congressman. It’s not good and I wouldn’t call it a sequel to the first masterpiece but its Fuck You atmosphere is hard to beat.

Wow. Another absolutely insane performance for Hopper in '86 (Blue Velvet), Tobe Hooper's last great movie, Bill Moseley doing an over-the-top Dennis Hopper imitation (and possibly Beetle Juice-inspiring too!) and a chainsaw duel! What more could you want from 80's horror? Savini isn't at his greatest, though.

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.

Tragic, absolutely tragic. Tobe Hooper admirably refuses to go the typical '80s slasher route by trinying to make a horror/comedy satire about '80s America...only it's not scary and it's not funny. And it's just really boring, on top of it all. A shame, really, because the opening scene is very good, and Chop Top had much iconic villain potential. What a waste.

What made the original TCM so good was its restraint: it was marked by a constant state of dread rather than violent excess. This sequel is its opposite: one big explosion of irrational, inordinate violence. No build-up here, only a jumbled sequence of gory scenes. I do, however, think this movie has some redeeming features: first of all I loved the set design (disco dungeon slash slaughterhouse slash Southern Gothic). Second, it has some morbidly funny moments.

To take such a huge steaming dump on your own masterpiece before some hack assholes beat you to it takes balls at least. Obviously there's a big satirical fuck you angle to this but I've yet to decide if it's shockingly on the mark or just horribly misjudged. Actually probably both, in a very 80's way. Relentlessly schlocky and excessive but would've been funnier with better editing & at least some minor tactical restraint in places. There really is a deep layered irony to this mess though.

While it is often difficult to tell if its problems were due to Cannon's interference or Hooper's lack of creative certainty, T.T.C.M 2 is nonetheless a gonzo gore filled ride down the wildside that is both a sequel and parody of the original. Hooper tonal shifts like a crackhead, creating a genuine sense of unease, the violence is gratuitous and disturbing and the family's lair is brilliantly designed. Shame that its excess begins to grate, and Williams' constant screaming is annoying.

The second installment took over a decade to come out, and by this time there were three "Halloween" and six "Friday the 13th" installments, plus a countless number of other franchises that had put out at least two. Hooper benefited from the twelve year gap, because by this time, absolute gore insanity was more accepted. Leatherface has always had a one up on Michael and Jason, being a generally cooler killer, but I'll be damned if Bill Moseley isn't the dark horse here, what a demented freak.

I guess they were going for "fun", but it comes across as a bizarrely bad (very) amateur-theatre remake. The music, which plays throughout, is just awful. Caroline Williams's imitation of Leatherface's final moment of the first film in the last shot of this one is admittedly hilarious, but whether or not the homage was intentionally comic is less clear to this viewer. Released less than a month before BLUE VELVET, Dennis Hopper being thereby represented at both ends of the 1986 quality spectrum.

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.

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 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.

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.

I see what Hooper was going for, but I feel like he didn't go far enough. Some scenes should have been trimmed down and even though it is already noticeably longer than the first film, the film should have been lengthened by a couple scenes (there are some deleted scenes, I know). What is here is pretty damn good at times. Leatherface isn't what he was, but what he is is hilarious. His gyrations with the chainsaw had me laughing every time.

Texas Chainsaw 2 is an enigma. At least it was to those familiar with the original. This movie is a dark absurd comedy set in the realm of a dark brutal horror movie. In a strange way it exists as both. Kudos to Tobe Hooper for trying something different. Either way you'll laugh or you'll cringe. Most of the time both.

The screwy, hammy atmosphere, in the right frame of mind, pulls you right in. Obviously, it's strange for such an uncompromising film to be followed yrs later by its own director in such a goofy way, but had he replicated his predecessor, it would've been another futile, redundant slasher sequel, and we would've taken that for granted had he not found the nerve to, frankly, experiment by going in the opposite direction.

Oh wow. I knew this was going to be weird and different, especially when compared to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), but damn. This was pretty bad. It takes a strange comedic approach, which is just very much at odds with the original. I didn't really find it funny or fun, though. The acting from the lead actress is atrocious, even compared to everyone else, and they're pretty bad, too. It's hard to explain what's wrong with it, in a way - you just have to see it.

I have to appreciate when a sequel doesn't try and just copy it's predecessor, but this doesn't hold a candle to the original at all. I hated the garish colourful art design, and was bored for the entire last two thirds of the movie in the cavern. As a horror comedy, it's not very funny either. I particularly hate the trope of the killer being attracted to the heroine as it kills all the tension when he doesn't want to kill her. Hopper' isn't fun to watch here either. Enjoyed the radio scene.

It’s sort of admirable for a director sequelling his big hit to say “whatever I did before, let’s do the opposite”… – swapping out the memorably grimy confines of Part 1 for a Krueger-ish slasher might have worked better if NIGHTMARE & HALLOWEEN hadn’t already done this with greater conviction – this odd, jokey remake of the original never finds a consistent tone, especially as Hooper refuses to take his scenario even remotely seriously (but the chainsaw phallus was a nice comedic touch!)

Tobe Hooper sure did do a drastic change in direction when making the second part of the Chainsaw Massacre -series. It's more of a comedy than horror, and I'm not entirely agreeing with the satire of it. I get the director not wanting to do the same thing all over again, but comedy? It was funny, sure, but it just didn't jive that well with me. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't really for me, either. I'll give it points for the creative gore and the set design + Stretch.

You've got to admire how much of a tonal change a sequel can do,particularly when coming from the same director.Feeling more like a general stupid slasher flick of its time rather than an atmospheric industrial horror film like the original, this change turns out to pay off, as some of the goofy comedy works (the face-change scene, Cook's antics), though other times it's painfully cringey (Bill Moseley).But overall, this is, in a roundabout way, a respectable horror sequel (perhaps incidentally)

The plot feels like a retread of the original TCM's story. At the same time though, it lacks nearly all of what made TCM the masterpiece that it is. There's no atmosphere here and no tension. The plot is scattered with holes and the new characters are very inconsistently developed. And even though it's trying to be more of a comedy, I rarely laughed. I did like the perverse relationship that is established between Leatherface and Stretch, but ultimately I don't think the film does much with it.

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.

Wary of its reputation I came in with low expectations trying to judge this film on itself and not to compare it (too much) to it amazing successor. After the opening kill it's indeed evident that this is going to be a different kind of movie; lighter fun entertainment instead of the horrifying experience of TCM1. Unfortunate most of it isn't funny, coming of mostly as an unintended self-parody. Still a film with Dennis Hopper fighting Leatherface with chainsaws isn't all bad.

Top badass moment? The chainsaw duel. Sadly this film was totally spoilt for me by the more than laissez-faire attitude towards chainsaw safety. No PPE; (sunglasses don't count). Extremely poor technique; (sorry Leatherface, regularly wobbling furiously like a Weeble on acid doesn’t count). The only positive was that they seemed to have generally been maintained fairly well, as they started easily and the chains were snug to the bars. 29 chainsaws (5 running), half a decapitation and no cats.

I can see why a lot of fans of the first one hate it. The original is a masterpiece of oppressive horror and this one is pretty much the opposite; a big, goofy gorefest that almost plays like a parody at times. It's not some brilliant satire or anything, it's just a ridiculous horror-comedy, and it's a tremendously fun diversion if you're into it. It's worth the price of admission just to see Dennis Hopper dual-wield chainsaws and utterly lose his mind.

Made before it was fully understood how important it was for Dennis Hopper to play the maniac, he nonetheless is somewhat crazed as the cop pursuing the family.

Dennis Hopper in the chainsaw store is only slightly less iconic than his performance as Frank Booth.

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

Todo grande clássico de horror cru acaba tendo alguma sequência em que ele se torna o próprio pastiche, aqui não é diferente, mas acabou não sendo tão divertido quanto queria, excetuando a presença de Dennis Hopper que é divertidíssima, principalmente se levarmos em consideração que imaginá-lo com uma real moto-serra na mão causa mais horror do que nas mãos de um Leatherface imaginário. Box Obras-primas do Cinema Tobe Hooper.

Tobe dumbs down the dark satire of the original and shits out an over lit, unsatisfying sequel for the Cannon group. Its watchable and trashy, Dennis Cooper and the female lead ('Stretch') do what they can to make it a fun ride. But its too disappointing to see the family caked in cheesy 80s horror makeup and being played for cheap laughs, plus the neon colours and dated music just don't gel with the backwoods horror. The 'chainsaw penis' scene was pretty hot though.

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.

I held off on watching this one for a long time, & while I'm glad that I finally did- it's one of the most iconic horror sequels of its time- it also has a lot of problems. A lot. While great performances from Williams, Moseley (who does phenomenal work here), Siedow, & Johnson as Leatherface make it worth watching, the story is missing a few beats & the ending is inexcusably bad. The retconning of the first movie doesn't work well, & the comedy doesn't always land. I wanted to like it more.

A good production was made with the gross of the first movie, but it wasn't enough to please the fans. Tom Savini's effects were very successful and I loved the soundtracks.

How could a movie featuring Dennis Hopper with a chainsaw holstered on each side while wielding another into a sword fight like battle against Leatherface not be an instant classic? Starting from the first scene this movie is over the top in the most enjoyable way. I want to watch it again already.

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.

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.

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.

Lost interest less than halfway through wasn't a big fan of how over the top this was. It had a trashy atmosphere that I appreciated but, it's hard not to compare this to the first one even if it comes off as satirical in a way. The poster is still classic, but overall I'd say it's a dud
