** When Lefty is testing out the chainsaws it's obvious they are not real chainsaws. Dennis Hooper doesn't pretend they have any weight at all and swings them around effortlessly, and when he turns them on they are not moving.

* CultClassic: Received middling reviews and a poor box office performance on release, but it has built up a following thanks to its black comedy tone, tone to the extent point it received a Collector's Edition blu-Ray release from Scream Factory.Factory in 2017. This was followed up by a very lavish 4K release from Vinegar Syndrome in 2022, something no other film in the series received at the time.



* VindicatedByHistory: The film received a muddied response on release and a poor box office performance with many put off by its more violent and campier tone in contrast to the grittier original film. After several more controversial ''Texas Chainsaw'' sequels were released over the years, this film received a cult following and reevaluation that is more complimentary of the black comedy, even if it hasn't displaced the original film.

After several more controversial ''Texas Chainsaw'' sequels were released over the years, this film received a cult following and reevaluation that is more complimentary of the black comedy, even if it hasn't displaced the original film. Tellingly, it has received two highly produced home media releases from Scream Factory and Vinegar Syndrome over the years.
