* FanPreferredCutContent: Many fans feel that the first (out of three) alternate endings is better than the final version, due to [[spoiler:giving Chrisse a more ambiguous, NothingIsScarier fate compared to the AssPull one in the finished film]] and having a powerful and terrifying montage showcasing the scope and heartbreak of the Hewitts' future crimes.

Woops, never mind. It's flame bait.


* UnfortunateImplications: In [[https://youtu.be/t37eS2BGZ8c his review]] of the movie, Film Brain objected to the torturous death given to the promiscuous Bailey; she is first tied up, then raped, then has her teeth pulled out, and finally has her [[SlashedThroat throat cut]] with a pair of dull scissors. As the rape was deliberately shot to resemble a scene of her having kinky but consensual, sex earlier in the movie, Film Brain took it to mean the filmmakers [[SlutShaming felt she deserved this gruesome fate]].

* CatharsisFactor: While it’s [[SavedByCanon inevitable that Hoyt will survive this movie]], given how much of a sadistic monster he is in this, seeing Dean slam his head into the ground several times for his troubles (which, by all accounts, really should’ve killed him) is extremely satisfying.

* WhatAnIdiot: Dean tackles Hoyt to the ground and repeatedly smashes his head against the floor, knocking out his teeth, but does not actually bother to finish him off, allowing him to go on to kill more people before his death in the 2003 film.

* CompleteMonster: ''Also in the [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2003 2003 film]]''; [[AxCrazy Charlie Hewitt, Jr.]], [[ImpersonatingAnOfficer better known as Sheriff Hoyt]], is a sadistic [[UsefulNotes/TheKoreanWar Korean War]] veteran who obtained a taste for human flesh. [[KillAndReplace Murdering and replacing the true sheriff Hoyt]] in their derelict county, Hoyt uses his position to waylay travelers and direct them to his family so he can torture, butcher, and eat them. Abusing his own family at whim, including unnecessarily amputating his Uncle Monty's legs, Hoyt is gleeful in his brutal torture of others, such as forcing a runaway draftee for [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar The Vietnam War]] to do pushups to escape all while Hoyt savagely beats him. Hoyt is also implied to rape captive women and enjoys psychologically tormenting his victims with fake executions before finally murdering them for real, often at the hands of Leatherface.
