Continuity mistake: After the hitch-hiker smears blood from his hand all over the side of the teenagers van, in the very next shot as we see the van riding away down the road, the blood has disappeared from the side. (00:16:40)
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.)

Drayton: Look what your brother did to the door! Ain't he got no pride in his home?
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: In the trivia it says that the name Leatherface is only said once or twice. Well, I can't recall the name being used at all. What scenes were the name used?
Answer: At the dinner table scene when the hitchhiker is arguing with the old man, he says "me and Leatherface do all the work." There's a lot of shouting going on so it's easy to miss.
Answer: The name "Leatherface" is used in the scene set in the hotel, and the waterfall scene. The grandmother says "leatherface" right after she says "Maryana, crank up the chain saw" in the waterfall scene. She actually says it in a whispering tone, so you have to turn the volume up to the max.
I think you're referring to either a remake or sequel. In this film (the original made in 1974), there is no living grandmother that speaks, scene set at a hotel, character named Maryana, or a waterfall scene.
