THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE TRIVIA MOVIE

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was the movie set from Hell (due to the temperature in Texas at the time, this statement isn’t that far off).He ended up hitting his head multiple times because of the heels AND his mask limited his vision. The added height forced him to duck under the doorways in the slaughterhouse. Gunnar Hansen had to wear 3-inch heels to appear taller than the rest of the cast.However, Marilyn Burns, who was friends with Hansen at the time, convinced him to be a part of the film. Gunnar Hansen initially turned down the role of Leatherface because he didn’t like the sheer brutality of the plot.By the end of shooting, his clothes smelled so bad, no one could stand near him or eat around him. Not only did Hansen have to wear the shirt for 4 weeks straight, they had to film in very hot and humid Texas weather. The shirt couldn’t be washed because it was dyed. Because of the film’s budget, Gunnar Hansen only wore one shirt while playing Leatherface.Ironically, Marilyn Burns ended up hurting herself filming her landing. For the scene where Sally jumps out of a window, a stunt double was used.When he met Partain again years later, they ended up being good friends until Partain’s death. Hansen didn’t realize Partain was in character the whole time and he just figured Partain was annoying. Because of this, he and Gunnar didn’t get along on set. Partain (Franklin) was a method actor, and he stayed in character even when the cameras weren’t rolling. In one part, you can see him slicing up tree branches in the background.

The film has little to no blood because Tobe Hooper was hoping to get a PG rating for it.

This was how he came up with the idea for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. While thinking about a way to get through the crowd, he spotted the chainsaws.

While Christmas shopping, Tobe Hooper was stuck in a crowded store.

He wanted to play the role in the most accurate – yet not offensive – way, so he went to a school for the mentally handicapped and studied how they moved and talked. Hansen was the one who decided Leatherface would be mentally handicapped.

The film’s director, Tobe Hooper gave Gunnar Hansen permission to portray Leatherface as he saw fit.

John Larroquette, the film’s narrator, was paid for his work with a single marijuana joint.

She cut herself so badly, that a lot of the blood on her body and clothes were real.

While being chased around the woods by Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), Marilyn Burns (Sally) actually cut herself on the branches.
