** With the [[Film/LeatherfaceTheTexasChainsawMassacreIII third film, as well.]] Caroline Williams appears briefly as a reporter, and WordOfGod is that she and Stretch are one and the same, her having taken up Lefty's job of hunting the Sawyers. But that film also [[UnexplainedRecovery has Leatherface alive and well,]] save a limp from the injury he received in the first movie but unseen here.

Misuse. Body Horror cannot be caused by direct physical violence


* BodyHorror:
** LG's face is cut off with an electric carving knife. ''While he is still alive.'' And he stays that way for several minutes.
** Chop Top has an exposed metal plate, which he constantly picks at with a heated coat hanger, eating whatever skin gets caught on it. At the film's climax, he gets an electric shock delivered straight to it.
** And the idea of of turning your head to a car and seeing your best friend at the wheel with half his sawn head sliding off as it's ''still driving''.

* HappyEndingOverride: Well BittersweetEnding at least. The opening crawl for the first movie says that Sally's escape led to the discovery of the Sawyer clan's crimes, implying that they were ultimately brought to justice, but the opening crawl for ''this'' movie says that the police weren't able to find the killers, the victims, the house or any other evidence of the crimes.
** The opening also mentions that Sally went catatonic after talking to the police after the first movie.
