"Lick my plate you dog d**k!"
If you know to what that qoute is referring, your a Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 fan. And trust me, there aren't too many of us, at least not as many as there should be. The followup to the notorious 1974 classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", was not recieved well by fans at all. Mainly due to the fact it was an outrageous 80's splatter comedy and not a brooding and terrifying serious film like the original. In fact, it was the complete opposite. I think this is the best in the series.
The main focus of this film is the utterly insane Chainsaw Family, not just Leatherface. The film opens with two Yuppies on a joyride, who decide to play chicken with the wrong truck. It ends up being Chop-Top and his brother Leatherface, before you know it, there's a dancing corpse puppet on the roof of the speeding truck and one very bisected Yuppie head. The movie just dives right into the gory mayhem and it doesn't let up. It seems the joy riding punks were on the car phone with a radio station request line and the DJ caught the whole thing on tape. The DJ, Stretch, confronts a crazy former Texas Range,r Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper), who has been searching for the demented cannibal clan ever since they killed his wheelchair bound nephew Franklin! That's right, Franklin from the original. Lefty asks Stretch to play the tape the on the radio to try to lure out the killers, and soon enough the radio station gets paid a very special visit. The film quickly spirals into madness as the Stretch battles for her life inside the killers underground, fun house lair.
The family steals the show as Jim Siedow returns as The Cook and Bill Mosely (Otis from House of 1000 Corpses) takes over the role of the Hitchiker, who now has a metal plate in his head. Leatherface falls in love with Stretch and the film gets even more whacked out. Blood and limbs fly, people are skinned alive and eaten, and yes there's a Chainsaw Duel! The greatest Chainsaw Duel in the history of cinema! So stop wasting your time reading this and get your ass to the video store so you can buy the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 Gruesome Edition DVD! It has 2 commentary tracks, a full length making-of documentry and the infamous deleted scenes! One of which includes a never before seen cameo byMonster Vsion's Joe Bob Briggs!
