Franklin: They just shoot a bullet in their head, and then retract it. It's just BOOM-shht-BOOM-shht. Sally: Franklin, I like meat, please change the subject!
Trivia:
Marilyn Burns, whose character was chased by Leatherface through the undergrowth actually cut herself on the branches quite badly, so a lot of the blood on her body and clothes is real.
The actor whose character was hung up on a meat hook was actually held up by a nylon cord that went between her legs, causing a great deal of pain.
The brand name on Leatherface's chainsaw is hidden by duct tape in order to avoid a lawsuit.
