* TwoTimingWithTheBestie: Ryan, Heather's boyfriend, and Nikki, her best friend, have slept together at least once previously behind her back. They do so again during the film (while Nikki has her own boyfriend, Kenny). Heather doesn't seem to show any concern over this when she crashes the van into the barn to rescue them from Leatherface, despite them being half-naked and Nikki wearing Ryan's shirt. Then again, there is the small matter of the chainsaw-wielding lunatic with the mask of human skin chasing them, which might justify shelving the "what were you two doing" conversation for the moment.

''Texas Chainsaw 3D'' is a 2013 sequel to [[Film/TheTexasChainSawMassacre1974 the 1974 film]], and it is in no way connected to [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2003 the remake]].

The film begins with the Sawyers being killed and their family homestead being burned down shortly after the first film... except for one infant, who is rescued by one of the townspeople and taken in as part of the Miller family. And with that, Edith Sawyer becomes Heather Miller, who decades later, learns that she inherited a mansion from her biological grandmother. She goes there with her friend and boyfriend and they learn the hard way that Leatherface is still alive. Pretty soon, the townspeople learn the truth as well and decide to take their vendetta to Heather herself.

A prequel called ''Film/{{Leatherface}}'' was released in 2017 which delves into Leatherface's life during his late teens.

Easily Forgiven has been renamed to Acknowledged Absolution and is now In Universe Examples Only. Removed as this appeared to be an out-of-universe reaction to a character's actions, which are no longer allowed.


* EasilyForgiven: It seems Heather completely forgives Leatherface for trying to murder her and killing all her friends as soon as she finds out he's her cousin. However, it can be argued that she knows it is partially her fault that Leatherface was let loose to go on a rampage. If she had read her grandmother's letter first, most of the deaths would probably have been avoided. Also, she gets the chance to read the police reports for August 19th, and saw that whatever the Sawyers had done, extralegal vigilante justice and being slaughtered every man, woman and babe (save Heather herself and Leatherface) was not a just fate. [[LaserGuidedKarma So several of the dead people brought it on themselves.]]

* HooksAndCrooks: After Leatherface scares Kenny when he accidentally finds himself in the former's turf. The former scares him off with a meat hook and makes use of it when the latter tries to escape from him. Stabbing him in the back and dragging him down.



* PreviouslyOn: The film opens up with a montage of clips from the original film



* RememberTheNewGuy: The opening scene features a small RedshirtArmy of Sawyers who did not appear in the original film and are promptly killed alongside Drayton and Grandpa.

* {{Fanservice}}: Plenty of MaleGaze is given to [[MsFanservice Nikki's]] assets, and half of her screen-time is spent in skimpy clothing or otherwise half-naked, and she is also rather flirty. [[MrFanservice Ryan]] also gets to demonstrate his muscled physique in a lot of scenes. And of course, Heather fills out her tops quite nicely, providing frequent bouncing and BareYourMidriff.

That's a shoehorn. Actors' ages are not a factor; the in-universe events are.


* ContinuitySnarl: The film is set in 2012 and is a direct sequel to the original. Heather should be close to 40 and Leatherface should be in his 60s, yet they're played by, respectively, 26-year-old Creator/AlexandraDaddario and 47-year-old Dan Yeager. This would just be an example of PlayingGertrude if not for the fact that Heather herself is portrayed as a young adult.
