Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III

• Buy DVD from Amazon
• Rent from Blockbuster

• The only Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie not filmed in Texas.
• There was also supposed to be a brutal "unmasking" scene, which would reveal Leatherface as horribly disfigured. That scene was scrapped (despite an obvious buildup during the opening credits) and saved because New Line wanted to use it in the next sequel, which never materialised. It was eventually used in the remake The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
• Viggo Mortensen was not the studio's first choice top play Tex. He didn't do well in the audition, and New Line hired another actor who was later fired, and the role of Tex went to Mortensen.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): The painkillers Benny gives Michelle and Ryan take effect almost instantly and then wear off in about five minutes.
