RW503 - Texas Chainsaw Rewatch - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

 


In this episode of The Texas Chainsaw Rewatch, Cory and Eoghan take the torturous trek through their discussion of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning."

Our Favourite Trivia:

Producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller decided not to make a sequel to the 2003 movie. But the fans kept coming to them, asking how the family got that way and wanting to know several unanswered questions in the 2003 version (some of them include how Monty lost both of his legs, to how Sheriff Hoyt lost his front teeth, and how Leatherface got his nickname). And after a meeting with Michael Bay, they let Sheldon Turner write the script for a prequel and they were prepared to make it.


New Line had to pay $3 million more than it expected to in order to keep the series in the studio fold after Dimension Films made a pricey deal with original rights holders Tobe Hooper, Kim Henkel and Robert Kuhn.

 

The cow that gets hit by the jeep was made of fiberglass and filled with blood, fake entrails and fake bones then screwed together


Matt Bomer's head was actually wrapped in cellophane. They left a small gap opening at the bottom of Matt's chin for him to breathe but that didn't help much, so when ever he was having trouble breathing he would indicate by knocking his knees together


According to producer Brad Fuller, the film was given an NC-17 by the MPAA, and a total of 17 scenes had to be edited in order to get an R rating.

What's Up Next?

A more modern or trendy tangent to the timeline takes us to a direct sequel to the original film with Texas Chainsaw 3D.
