Continuity mistake: When the girl shoots herself her body is still sitting upright in the backseat, but when the van hits a bump in the road and the body falls onto its side. When the van stops in the next shot the body is sitting back up again without anyone moving it.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Marcus Nispel
Starring: Jessica Biel, R. Lee Ermey, Mike Vogel, Eric Balfour, Jonathan Tucker, Erica Leerhsen, Andrew Bryniarski
With all of her friends dead, Erin (Jessica Biel)escapes the abandoned shack and runs to the meat factory, but Leatherface finds her. She escapes the meat factory after chopping off Leatherface's arm. She is picked up by a truck, who then brings her back to the old gas station. Erin leaves the truck and rescues the stolen baby. She hijacks the sheriff's car and runs the sheriff over until he is dead. She then races off down the road in the car (with the baby). The car is chainsawed by Leatherface, but Erin continues to drive. We never really find out if Erin lives or dies. The two cops that were investigating the crime scene at the begining of the movie are killed by Leatherface.

Morgan: What are we gonna do?
Kemper: I don't know... uh... we gotta call the cops, I guess.
Morgan: Um, yeah, on a list of bad ideas, that one goes, way up there. Oh, police officers, please, as you inspect a crime scene, which is now our van, please, ignore the colorful pinata, filled with marijuana, in case you happen to come across it, because it played no part, you know, whatsoever in the demise of this unfortunate, young, woman.
Trivia: During the police video sections of the film you can sometimes hear a camera flashbulb popping and then recharging. This same sound effect was used at the beginning of the original film when we see the decimated corpses being photographed.
Question: Was R. Lee Ermey's character a real sheriff or did he just have a costume and a car he stole?
