Lots of graphic violence. </B><B>Tobe Hoop</B><B>er shows an uncanny knack for changing with the times as the breathtaking start and finish to this movie make its precursor, which shocked the nation in 1973, look like a kiddie film. As usual, Effects man Tom Savini finds a way to outdo himself with the original decapitation and the truly ghastly family of cannibals. The visit at KOKLA radio station and adjoining hammer scene is one of the creepiest and goriest scenes in movie history as is the scene beneath the Alamo where the sets and mood are the stuff and scenery of nightmares. Don't let the gore-rating fool you, this is an extremely well-made movie. Direction, acting and screenplay are all top rate and the portrayal of Drayton Sawyer as the suffering small capitalist, forced by competition to serve up his fellow man, would be a riot if it didn't ring so true. Some will recognize the music of Timbuk 3, Stewart Copeland (Wall of VooDoo) and Oingo Boingo wining in the foreground. How the original cast and director made such three dimensional characters of those sketches in part one is a delight to watch! It's a sloppy bowl of YIKES!

The survivor told the world of the Texas chainsaw Massacre. With no evidence, law enforcement officials buried the case. Retired Texas Ranger Lefty, who lost a wheelchair-bound nephew on that day in 1973, is on the trail of the killers 14 years later, the massacre has no end. The weekend of the big Texas/Oklahoma University football weekend extravaganza starts out with a bang as two deserving loudmouth kids get chainsaw massacred on their way to the game. Discjockey stretch and her engineer LG hear the massacre via cellular phone as a result of repeat prank calls by the idiots to KOKLA in Burt Burnett Texas. The embittered Lt. Lefty Enright (ain't got no fear left) is at the northern Texas scene of the killings looking for clues as to the whereabouts of the killers. State authorities want no part of his investigation. The papers treat his cause with a sense of humor. Stretch however not only believes him but has taped evidence of the chainsaw killing. Stretch and LG ironically are assigned to cover the Texas Oklahoma Chili Cook-off won by Dallas' own Drayton Sawyer of the last Round-up Rolling Grill. As his victory is celebrated, he is able to hide a human tooth that an official discovers, "One of those hard-shelled peppercorns." Lefty meanwhile purchases a variety of chainsaws as he has a plan to use stretch as bait for the killers. At his request, Stretch plays the tape of the killings repeatedly, and it isn't long before Chop Top and Leatherface, who wears a mask of human skin, pay her a visit at K-OKLA. Chop Top, who scratches bits of scar tissue off his head with a coat hanger, cooks them with a lighter and eats them, personally requests Iron Butterfly, then changes his request to the tape of the killing. In the ensuing melee, he bashes LG's face in with a hammer, while the enamored Leatherface cannot bring himself to kill Stretch. Stretch follows the killers to their hideaway beneath the Texas Battle Land theme Park (PeeWee Herman would be angered to hear that the Alamo really does have a cellar) and Lefty is right behind her. They become separated when Stretch falls through a hole into the hellish workshop of the killers. In her odyssey beneath Battle Land she is wacked in the head by the zombie-like Grandpa, kissed by the hideous Leatherface, encounters the skinless yet living LG shortly before his death, spends time bound and is forced to wear LG's still wet face as a mask and dance with leather face. The maniacal happenings of the dinner party with Grandpa and the endless bickering of the killer brothers is interrupted when Lefty, who has just found the remains of his bursts in with his three chainsaws for a showdown with Leatherface, which he is winning when the critiacally injured Drayton puts an end to the subteranean madness with a hand greanade ("that old fuck you Charlie") while Stretch's unsuccessful escape attempt necessitates a battle to the death with Chop Top, after which she dances triumphantly atop a tower, aparently gone mad.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
