The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Continuity mistake: Leatherface Chases Jenny through a muddy river, but when they reach the house seconds later, they are both very much drier. (00:36:25 - 00:37:25)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: As Leatherface breaks parts of the front door out with his chainsaw, there are three very large cracks in the door, presumeably to help him break the parts of the door out. In all previous shots/scenes, there were no cracks in the same part of the door. (00:37:05)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Jenny runs upstairs and notices the police officer in the corner of the room, how wide open the door is changes between shots. (00:37:15)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Leatherface chases Jenny, she locks the front door and then Leatherface uses his chainsaw to break pieces of the door out. However in a rear shot some of the door that Leatherface previously broke off is now back intact. (00:37:20)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When Jenny first enters the house, she runs upstairs and finds a gun. Then she runs down the stairs and points it at Leatherface; in this shot as she runs down with the gun, you can see a microphone at the top of the screen. (00:37:20)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When Jenny lands on the roof, near the left of the screen by the side of the house, trying to hide behind some black bin-liner, is a boom mic moving about. (00:37:45)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Jenny jumps through the window, the whole window (frame + glass) breaks and falls out. When Leatherface runs to the window, the middle wooden frame of the window is back in the windowframe, intact. (00:37:45)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When Jenny jumps through the window, as she lands on the roof she rolls to the side and her legs fly upward. You can clearly see she has protective padded socks on. She is barefoot in all previous and following shots. (00:37:45)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Jenny jumps through a window to get away from Leatherface, the window next to the window she jumps through is closed. Seconds later it is open. (00:37:45)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When Jenny is cowering in the corner of the roof, as Leatherface is attacking the chimney with his chainsaw, you can clearly see that Jenny is not Renée Zellweger, but a stunt double. (00:38:25)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Leatherface chases Jenny on the roof, he starts knocking bricks off of the chimney with his chainsaw. Some bricks that fall off the chimney reappear back on it in the next shot. (00:38:25)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: As Jenny is climbing up a big aeriel on the roof, Leatherface swings his chainsaw at the aeriel. In shots of him swinging the chainsaw, Jenny has disappeared from the aeriel. You can almost see the whole aeriel, and she isn't there! (00:38:40)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: As she is chased by Leatherface, Jenny runs to Darla's real estate trailer and bangs on the door. As soon as the trailer comes into shot, you can clearly see through the glass of the door, Darla is standing by the door already (waiting for cue) and then she opens the door after a few seconds, in suprise. (00:40:40)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When Jenny runs to Darla's trailer after being chased by Leatherface, she runs inside and trips, and her dress pulls upward, beautifully revealing the flesh-coloured kneepads she's wearing for the stunt. (00:40:45)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When Darla is at Bud's Pizza Drive-Thru, she gets out the car to go round to the boot and tell Jenny off. As she walks round to the boot, in the backseat window you can see the reflection of arms holding a boom mic pole. (00:44:45)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: After getting the pizza's, as Darla is walking across the porch to indoors and then stops to have a go at W.E, the door behind them goes from wide open to shut between shots. (00:47:50)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Darla arrives home, as she is walking indoors with the pizzas, the pizza boxes rotate in her hands a few times, evident by the large "pizza" printed on one side of the box. (00:47:55)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: W.E brings a big part of a door into the kitchen and says "look at what your brother did to this door," and then he places it down so it leans up against the other door. Then moments later the big section of the door is now lying on the floor. It is leaning back up again a few seconds later. (00:49:25)

Hamster

Heather: Barry, I saw you, you were kissing her.
Barry: Once, I kissed her once! God, it's like I can't talk to my friends anymore, I can't believe how posessive you are.
Heather: Oh right, I guess that's why you were feeling her up?
Barry: Look, guys need sex. It's bad for you if you get all worked up and then not get it, you can get "prostrate" cancer. Is that what you want?
