DATE: The young group is listening to "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd in the van at the beginning of the film. The film takes place between 18 and 20 August 1973. The song was not released until 1974, featured on the band's album, "Second Helping". Revealing mistakes: In the scene when Jedidia is helping Erin and Morgan escape the basement, you can see Erin climb the last four steps that lead outside. Then the camera cuts to Jedidia biting leather face on the hand. Then the camera cuts back again and we see Erin climbing back up those same four steps again. Continuity: Leatherface's chainsaw is Husqvarna 359, which has a chain break on it. It is taken off in the movie to make it look like it was from that time period because they didn't have them on around then. However, after the first chase scene you can see Leatherface cutting trees with a chain break on it. Revealing mistakes: Near the beginning of the movie, while the van full of teenagers is driving along the highway, there is a long shot of the van. In that shot, the van is visibly empty of any occupants other than the driver. Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, when the kids are driving in the van and they hit a bump, the body of the dead girl falls over onto the floor of the van, yet when they stop at the mill, the body is seen sitting up in the back of the van. Continuity: In a shot of the police car after Sheriff Hoyt drives off with Morgan, Morgan disappears while passing the camera. Continuity: Near the beginning of the movie (just after picking up the hitchhiker) the series of close-ups reveals a residential neighborhood passing by the window. Continuity: When leaving the gas station to go to the mill to meet the sheriff, the newspaper over the dead girl's head disappears and reappears between shots. Continuity: When Leatherface first begins to chase Erin and Andy inside the house and Andy turns aside the chainsaw with the tire iron, we see the saw from below and it is cutting length-wise through the floor boards. When we see the same shot from above the saw is cutting across the width of the boards. Continuity: When Sheriff Hoyt climbs into the van to begin wrapping the dead hitchhiker's body with the plastic he begins wrapping the head first. Moments later, he is still wrapping the head but her whole body is already wrapped. Continuity: The back door of the van is halfway open for one shot when the van is driving by a fence near the beginning, but fully closed for the rest of the time. Continuity: Before Leatherface starts to attack Erin and Pepper in the van, Pepper enters the van and does not shut the door. When she exits the van to get away from Leatherface, she has to open the door to get out. Continuity: SPOILER: When Erin kills back over Sheriff Hoyt, and turns on the window wipers to wipe off the blood, the windshield is free of blood the shot before. Continuity: When Erin kills back over Sheriff Hoyt, and turns on the window wipers to wipe off the blood, the windshield is free of blood the shot before. Continuity: Erin's shirt is tied in a knot for the entire movie. However, twice the shirt is not knotted...when running to the closet in the second house her shirt flops around but is again tied as soon as she is sitting with the rats. It is again loose as she runs outside in the rain by the meat factory - tied as she is sitting in the truck. Continuity: When the sheriff is saran-wrapping the dead girl in the van, the roll of wrap jumps in and out of the box between shots.. DATE: Leatherface's chainsaw is a recent model Husqvarna, possibly a 359XP...but certainly not a model that was available in 1973. Crew: When Leatherface is carrying Andy on his shoulder down the stairs to the basement, you can see the bill of someone's baseball hat to the right of the screen for a second as soon as the shot of the basement from the bottom of the stairs Continuity: SPOILER: After the hitchhiker commits suicide, and all the characters exit the van, the front passenger door is left open. Kemper is shown standing next to the open door, with his hands on his head. The camera cuts to Morgan for a moment, and then back to Kemper, who is in the same position, yet the door is closed. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: After the hitchhiker commits suicide, blood splatters all over the window, yet when they all get out of the van there is no visible blood on the back window. Fact errors: While Leatherface sits and sews his skin mask, he is not really sewing. The hand wheel on the right of the machine does not turn. A sewing machine's hand wheel has to move if the needle moves, as they are synchronized. Continuity: SPOILER: As the Sheriff falls to the ground after being struck and thrown over the police car, he very obviously ends up face down on the pavement. In the next wide scene, as you see the car start to back up, he is motionless and still face down. There is a cut to a close-up, and the Sheriff is now laying on his back as he starts to get up, without ever having turned over. DATE: When the Sheriff is holding the drivers licenses of the three characters who are laying on the ground, what appears to be their date of birth is shown to be the same on all three, 3-11-92. Also, even though they are supposedly from three different states, the printing and information on the licenses are identical. They show the same address, "37218 N. A..." (you cannot see any more of the street name), and you see what appears to be "District Of..." on the bottom line where the state would be. This would mean they all live together and are from Washington, District of Columbia. PLOT: When the Sheriff has the three characters prone in the dirt, he has their drivers licenses in his hand. As he starts to toss them down, the second license clearly states that it is an Arizona license. All three of the licenses are identical except for the picture. As he throws them down to them, he calls out the states of each of the owners. He first says "Arizona", although that is the second license, not the first one. He then says "Colorado" as he tosses down the Arizona license and finally says "New York" for the third. DATE: When turning to go to the mill, a round-bale of hay is seen in the field. The bale is bound with netwrap. In 1973, the only possible binding would have been twine. Continuity: When the hitchhiker commits suicide, her blood splatters on a green, hula girl ornament up front in the van. Earlier, there was a different looking hula girl ornament there. Continuity: Jessica Biel's character clearly cuts off Leatherfaces right arm, but at the end while she is driving away with the baby he is holding the chainsaw with his right arm, while his left arm is missing. Continuity: When the hitchhiker first shoots herself, the exit hole in the back window is jagged. In all other shots afterward it is perfectly round. Continuity: SPOILER: At the beginning when the friends go the store, Pepper is alternately leaning/not leaning on the wall between shots when Erin tries to open the door. Fact errors: The local law enforcement is referred to as the Travis County Police Department when it should have been Travis County Sheriff's Department. SYNC: At the beginning of the movie, when Kemper picks up the bottle out of his car and throws it, the sound of the bottle shattering comes way before the bottle would have hit the ground. GEOG: In the beginning of the film, it states that the Massacre happened on Route 17 in Travis County. There is no route 17 in Travis County, TX, and the van in the beginning is entering Fuller, TX, and a girl screams "We're 3 hours from Dallas". Fuller, TX is 6 hours from Dallas, 8 hours from Travis County, and not along the way from El Paso, TX, which is where the girl says they came from. |

[sees rotten big corpse in meat window] Morgan: Anyone want some pig? Sheriff Hoyt: I smell bullshit. Morgan: I'm sorry, but how often do girls blow their heads off in this shithole town. Morgan: Oh my god, I am WAY too stoned for this! Erin: Tell me you did not go to Mexico to buy weed Kemper: We did not go to Mexico to buy weed Morgan: Will somebody tell her to please stop singing. Andy: Well I guess that's what brains look like... Sort of like... Lasagna... Kind of... Okay, I'll shut up now. Sheriff Hoyt: I bet she's real unhappy, real sorry that you're getting fuckin' her blood all over your goddamn arm. You know, back when I was a young patrolman, I used to love wrapping up these young honies. Andy: Yeah, I bet you did. Sheriff Hoyt: Yeah, cop me a little bit of a feel every now and then, you know. Oh, look at that. She's kind of wet down there. What you boys been doing with this dead body anyway? Andy: Can we please finish this? Andy: I love you... Erin: Please forgive me... Sheriff Hoyt: You know, I have just as much respect for dead as anybody. [sees Andy and Morgan putting the dead hitchhiker in the backseat of his patrol car] Sheriff Hoyt: Get that nasty, goddamn thing out of the backseat of my goddamn car. Put it in the trunk, what the hells the matter with you? [points cane in Kemper's chest] Old Monty: I said she could call him, you wait outside Kemper: Okay, chief... Old Monty: I ain't lookin' for trouble! Kemper: Don't shoot! Morgan: I was like Erin don't drink the water down there... Erin: I didn't! Kemper: And she didn't drink the tequila, she didn't drink the weed, smoke the weed. Pepper: I don't know about you guys, but I happen to like my teeth right where they are. Erin: I didn't go to Mexico to watch you get shit-faced for four days. Kemper: That's what you do in Mexico! [first lines] Narrator: The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of 5 youths. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected, nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them, an idyllic summer afternoon became a nightmare. For 30 years, the files collected dust in the cold-cases divison of the Travis County Police Department. Over 1,300 pieces of evidence were collected from the crime scene at the Hewitt residence. Yet none of the evidence was more compelling than the classified police footage of the crime-scene walk-through. Adams (officer in walkthrough): Test test test... OK, uh, this is, uh, August 20th, 1973. The time is, uh, 3:47 P.M. Our location is the Hewitt residence on Route 17; it's where victim one was found. We're gonna do a walk-through, and we're now descending the stairs into the furnace room... uh... There's - over here - there's scratch marks along the wall. There's some more over here, right over here. And, oh, there's something over here. Seems... Looks like a clot of hair and an embedded fingernail. All right, we're gonna go move into the actual furnace room. Narrator: The events of that day were to lead to one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history - the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Kemper: Morgan, how are you an expert on the dumbest shit? [after Morgan tries shooting the sheriff with no avail] Sheriff Hoyt: Well, well, well. Look at we have here. We got ourselves a killer. Only this time, you killed the sheriff. Andy: Yo, Kemp, can you do something about the A.C. back here? I'm melting. Kemper: No. But if you or Pepper get too hot, you could always take your clothes off. Andy: You'd like that, wouldn't you? Erin: You are such a perv. Don't listen to him, Pepper. Pepper: Why not? I think he's funny. Erin: She's only known you for 19 hours. I've lived with him for 3 years, and trust me, he is not funny. Kemper: I've never seen anybody die before. Morgan: Yeah, most people never do. Sheriff Hoyt: How about giving me a hand here, asshole? You don't expect me to do this by myself? I need some help. Andy: Why do I always get yanked into this shit? What am I doing? Sheriff Hoyt: Lift her up and just kind of pull her over your way there. She ain't gonna bite you. She's deader than a goddamn doornail. Get a-hold of her and pick her up. Morgan: What are we gonna do? Kemper: I don't know... uh... we gotta call the cops, I guess. Morgan: Um, yeah, on a list of bad ideas, that one goes, way up there. Oh, police officers, please, as you inspect a crime scene, which is now our van, please, ignore the colorful pinata, filled with marijuana, in case you happen to come across it, because it played no part, you know, whatsoever in the demise of this unfortunate, young, woman. Pepper: It just seems so wrong. Sheriff Hoyt: Don't give me any crap, young lady. Goddamn it, I got just as much respect for a dead body as anybody around here. Old Monty: What the hell are you doing in my house? Andy: All right, look. We're just looking for are friend, all right. Then we'll be out of here. Old Monty: You ain't running things, boy except your mouth. Andy: This guy's crazy. Old Monty: You little turd, you're so dead, you don't even know it. Sheriff Hoyt: Is that where she was sitting? Because the angle don't add up for me with the blood on that back window. Morgan: Maybe she was a bit more in the middle. Sheriff Hoyt: Well, maybe you ought to move a little more over to the middle. Morgan: But... Sheriff Hoyt: What, are you afraid of a little blood? Get the fuck over there! Sheriff Hoyt: You kids shouldn't have messed with that little girl. You brought this all on yourself. Erin: What's wrong with you fucking people? Sheriff Hoyt: Nothing wrong with us. Andy: rin, I'm dead. Please finish it. You can do it. Erin: I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. Andy: here's a knife. Erin, do it. Do it! Erin: I can't do it. Andy: Do it! Do it! Do it! Erin: Please forgive me. Please forgive me. [last lines] Narrator: The crime scene was not properly secured by Travis County Police. Two investigating officers were fatally wounded that day. This is the only known image of Thomas Hewitt, the man they call Leatherface. The case today still remains open. Erin: [trying to hotwire a patrol car] Come on, you bitch, start! Luda May: Oh, I know your kind. Always cruelty and ridicule for my boy! Well does anyone care about me and my boy? Erin: Her body is starting to stink, you guys! Morgan: It's better than that store. Teenage Girl: [Leans over and sobs with Erin, Kemper, Morgan, Andy and Pepper all watching her in the van] He's a bad man... he's a REALLY bad man! Henrietta: [Hangs up the phone] I've got to go. Bye. [Looks at Erin] Something the matter, child? You don't look so good. Erin: I thought you said you didn't have a phone. Erin: [Watches Henrietta cradle the baby after she discovered that it was related to the hitch-hiker] That's not your baby. [pause] YOU STOLE HER! Henrietta: She's MINE. [Erin starts feeling an overwhelming emotion of everything that's been going on in combination of the drugged-up tea. She walks a little ways through the hallway, into the living room and then faints] Jedidiah: Gramma let me in the house! Luda May: JUNIOR! Better be out there with them dogs! Kemper: [after he sees a possum in a closet] Give me something to hold! Sheriff Hoyt: Excuse me, you mind getting the fuck outta my way son? |
