This is my favorite of the Texas Chainsaw series. Although I do love the first two, I just love all the characters (especially Benny, Tex, and Tinker!) And I love the non-stop action. I saw this in the theatre, and I know I saw a lot more in the theatre that I haven't seen on video, I have heard there is a lot that is cut out and I will have to find a copy with the dited scenes in it!I am not really going to comment on the fourth installment of the series, but the first is definetly a classic, and the second is a lot of fun to watch.
Facts:
1989 Directed by Jeff Burr and Claudio Fragasso
Written by David Schow
Cast: *I'm real sketchy on a few of the character's names so I made some guesses placing faces with pictures; I've watched it about a thousand times, but no luck, if anyone can clear any of these up, let me know, thanks!
