Visible crew/equipment: When the Hitchhiker was thrown out of the van and chases after them the camera cuts to the inside of the van and a crew member wearing a red T-shirt and clapper board are visible reflected in the window from the inside view.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tobe Hooper
Starring: Edwin Neal, Allen Danziger, Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, William Vail
All of the teenagers are killed and Sally is tied up and terrorized by the cannibal family. The grandpa tries to kill her with a sledgehammer but only wounds her because he is too weak. Sally barely escapes the house and the brothers chase her onto the road. The Hitchhiker brother is run over by a truck and Leatherface accidentally cuts into his own leg with the saw. Sally escapes for good in the back of a passing pick-up. (We don't know if the truck driver who stopped to help Sally survives.)

Trivia: During the big chase scene Marilyn Burns was running so slowly that Gunnar Hansen stopped to cut tree branches so he wouldn't outrun her.
Question: What happens to the guy in the yellow shirt, who hits Leatherface in the face with the wrench? The main character leaves with the guy in the truck but the yellow shirt guy doesn't. And we don't see him get killed, it just goes to Leatherface doing his dance. Are we supposed to assume that he dies?

Answer: The yellow shirt guy keeps running off screen while the main character jumps into the back of the truck. Since Leatherface's attention was solely on her, it's assumed the guy survives seeing as no one left in the Family is in pursuit.
