Viggo MortensenLeatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (R-Rated & Unrated Versions)

At the end of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 you seen LeatherFace die but to be brought back in this movie. My thoughs are if Jason Voorhees can come back from the dead like 5 plus times why cant LeatherFace come back???? LeatherFace is back in this film along with a weirder and creeper family if you can imagine.LeatherFace even gets a new chainsaw from his new family in this film and hes eager to test it out on some unsuspecting people who dont know what there in for.This movie surprised me at parts.It had me guessing who could LeatherFace be back with since his old family died????Well he just gets a new one and its back to square 1 for him. The setting in this film is by far the creepiest of all the TCM movies. i really like the new characters in this film and for the most part they did a great job playing there part. This film gets 5 stars from me cause i think itdoes a great job bringing the series to a close. yes i do now that there is a 4th texas Chainsaw Massacre film but i saw it and hated it so i think that this movie is a great ending to the series. if you feel like checking out the 4th film do so but you will be disapointed in it.LeatherFace is the most intimidating in this film. He looks somewhat similair to how he looked in the first film which i really liked.What i liked the most of all about this film is that they had Ken Foree in it you know the guy in George a Romero's Dawn of the Dead????? For me that makes this film even better then it already is which is fantastic cause Ken is such a great actor.This film is wonderful and is my favorite of the TCM series withoubt a doubt.I am gonna watch this film like 100 plus times cause i enjoyed it that much.If you are a fan of the TCM series then you ought to check this film out.and now i leave off with this comment (All Hail to Tobe Hooper for making one of the best horror movie Series ever)

For some strange reason I felt the 3rd film out of TCM series was gonna be my favorite. I don't know why, but when I began watching it, I really liked it. A lot better than Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. However it's a real damn shame that this film didn't become a hit and I'm dumbfounded why it didn't.It had everything right yet it wasn't a hit at box office, oddly the Child's Play series was doing well at the same time. Than again a lot of horror films had hard times during the 90s. What I really like about TCM III is the fact the script was written by David J. Schow, author of one of my favourite novels "The Kill Riff" Such a great novel, if you never heard of it, go check it out! Anyway on to the review.Michelle and Ryan are driving through the blazing roads of Texas while on a road trip to Florida, when they pull over for a pit stop. While Ryan is waiting for his girlfriend, an hitchhiker named "Tex" who tells Ryan of a shortcut and asks for a lift however Ryan refuses. Tex catches Alfredo, the gas station owner spying on Michelle which leads to a fight. The couple flees as Ryan takes the shortcut. Later on that night they are attacked by a truck which throws a dead animal onto their windshield forcing them to stop and replace a flat tire.They are attacked again by Leatherface and drive off only to nearly crash head on into a jeep. Benny, who was in the jeep, helps the couple out however they are chased off into the thick swamp by Leatherface and members of his cannibal family. Will Benny be able to save Michelle before it's too? Or will Michelle become the next victim of Leatherface!I'm gonna be watching this film a lot!

This was one of my favorites of the series am 100% pleased its finally on bluray for a really good price for the longest time it was only available on dvd

Contains both the theatrical cut as well as the unrated version. The unrated is the way to go, but even that seems pretty tame by today's standards. Hard to believe this film had so much trouble trying to get that "R" rating. Better than you remember, but not as good as the first two films. Worth a watch mostly due to the fun cast of likable characters. It was a mistake to replace the original ending with what the film has now. The original ending is included in the extra features, not edited back in. To sum it all up, it is worth a watch but it could have been better.

This is a good movie with an interesting story focused on 2 people, the Sawyer Family and Leatherface with a chainsaw. Worth watching.

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3 WAS RELEASED ORIGINALLY IN 1990 IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY. FOUR YEARS AFTER TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 WAS RELEASED ( 2 BEING MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES) NOW IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY WHEN PART 3 WAS ORIGINALLY SET TO BE RELEASED THERE WERE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE RATINGS BOARD SO THE DIRECTOR HAD TO KEEP GOING BACK AND RE CUTTING THE FILM IN ORDER TO GET IT DOWN TO AN R RATING BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD AND VIOLENCE. NOW PART 3 IS A DEPARTURE FROM PART 2. PART 2 WAS MORE OF A DARK COMEDY PART 3 IS MUCH MORE GRUESOME AND VIOLENT. A LOT OF QUESTIONS ARE LEFT UN ANSWERED. SUCH AS AT THE END OF PART 2 LEATHER FACES ENTIRE FAMILY IS KILLED OR BLOWN UP BY A GRENADE EVEN THE CHARACTER OF GRANDPA. HOWEVER IN PART 3 GRANDPA AND LEATHER FACE ARE ALIVE AND LIVING WITH THEIR MOTHER A SISTER 2 OR 3 OTHER BROTHERS. THE FILM NEVER EXPLAINS HOW LEATHER FACE CAME TO BE WITH THEM. THE MOTHER JUST CALLS LEATHER FACE (HER BOY OR MY BOY)THEY JUST CALL LEATHER FACE JUNIOR. GOOD ADDITION TO THE SERIES THE FOURTH FILM WOULD NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL 1995 SO THERE WOULD BE FIVE YEARS BETWEEN WHEN LEATHER FACE WAS RELEASED AND WHEN THE 1995 FILM TITLED TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE THE NEXT GENERATION WOULD BE RELEASED AND LEATHER FACE WOULD BE WITH ANOTHER FAMILY FOR THAT FILM ALSO WHICH NEVER EXPLAINS HOW HE COMES TO LIVE WITH THEM EITHER. ALSO FOR PART 3 THE HUMOR THAT WAS IN PART 2 IS NOT REALLY THERE FOR PART 3. PART 3 IS MORE VIOLENT SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED IF YOU DON'T LIKE BLOOD AND VIOLENCE THEN THIS FILM IS MOST LIKELY NOT FOR YOU. IF YOU CAN LOOK PAST THE BACK STORY GAPS BETWEEN PART TWO AND THREE THEN THIS IS STILL A GOOD GORE FEST.
