The original film of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is arguably one of the few pieces of shock cinema that transcends it’s genre and stands alone as a piece of art. Truly great art. Astounding in its visual scope. The sequel, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, is merely totally fucking awesome. The above montage of yelling Hopper from the film is quite an odd collection. They left out his first great scream from the flick of “Brazos!” (for the longest river in Texas, in case you weren’t sure)
The screenplay to TCM2 was by L.M. Kit Carson, who also created the astounding documentary “American Dreamer” of Dennis Hopper assembling his disastrous opus The Last Movie and adapted Sam Shephard’s words for Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas.
And you will suddenly discover that the song “Me and Bobby McGee”, is, in fact quite awesome. From The Last Movie…
