Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMatthew McConaughey had just graduated college and planned on moving to California when he auditioned for this movie. He read for the part of a young motorcyclist who rescues Jenny at the end and rides off with her into the sunset (a role that was eventually eliminated). Before he left, writer / producer / director Kim Henkel asked if he knew of anyone who might be right for the role of the villain, Vilmer. McConaughey suggested two friends from acting class and left. He was about to get in his truck and drive to California when he stopped and realized, "What was I thinking?" He immediately turned around and asked Henkel, "Hey, can I audition for Vilmer?" Henkel gave him a spoon from the kitchen, told him to pretend it's a knife and tasked him with scaring his secretary. Then, in the middle of the audition, he told him to pretend his mechanical leg was malfunctioning. McConaughey was so convincing that he won the role of Vilmer on the spot.
- GoofsWhen Heather is taken out of the freezer her dress is almost torn but after she is placed on the hanging hook her dress is back to normal.
- Crazy creditsIn the end credits, the "Patient on Gurney" actress was credited as ANONYMOUS.
- Alternate versionsThe Finnish video version excludes numerous scenes including violence. Cut by more than 15 minutes.

Featured review
Should Have Been A Musical...
The makers of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE NEXT GENERATION missed a huge opportunity by not setting it to music. All the elements are there, including Matthew MCconaughey as a deranged, bug-eyed hillbilly with a remote-controlled leg, and Renee Zellweger as a "teen" victim, running, screaming, and jumping through windows!
Annnd, who could forget the 9' tall Leatherface (Robert Jacks), constantly squawking and screeching like he's on fire!
Plus, there's domestic violence as foreplay, skeletal remains as home decor that works, and an old man who just might be dead!
The dialogue simply begs to be belted out in song! Example: "You're a bona fide Mo-ron!".
Indeed, this could / should have been the next HAIR or JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR! Alas, we shall never know...
