Notes
Trivia: In the original script, the character Jedidiah was going to wear a Felix the Cat T-shirt throughout the movie. This was later scraped because the copyright holders of Felix the Cat wouldn't allow it. However, the novelization of the movie features the character wearing the shirt. Also, Jedidiah was going to be killed by Leatherface by slicing his chainsaw through his back because he let Erin and Morgan go. This was later scrapped because the filmmakers thought it was too intense. (more)

Goofs: 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. (more)
