Other mistake: Leatherface attacks the Mercedes. The pick up is driving backwards, the Mercedes forwards. The Mercedes should easily be able to outpace the pickup.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tobe Hooper
Starring: Dennis Hopper, Bill Moseley, Caroline Williams, Jim Siedow
The family try to get their Grandpa to kill Stretch (in much the same manner they did with Sally in the first movie), but Lefty shows up and wounds Drayton with a chainsaw. Stretch flees, followed by Choptop, while Leatherface and Lefty duel with chainsaws. Drayton (hiding under a table) pulls out a grenade, and Lefty drives his chainsaw through Leatherface. Grandpa then tries to throw the hammer at Lefty, but hits Leatherface instead, who drops his chainsaw on Drayton, causing him to drop the grenade. Because the gas main had been ruptured earlier, the explosion destroys the theme park and (presumably) kills Lefty, Leatherface, Drayton and Grandpa. Stretch finds Grandpa's dead wife, and gets a chainsaw off the corpse. She then attacks Choptop, who falls off a cliff and into a pipe. The movie ends with her spinning her chainsaw in the same way Leatherface did at the end of TCM1.

Trivia: Tobe Hooper played up the black comedy in this sequel as he felt that all the dark humor in the original had been ignored by audiences due to the film's shocking content. He wanted to make sure that audiences knew the film was meant to be scary AND funny.

Answer: No, the hitchhiker was killed in the first movie when he's hit by a truck. His corpse is the body that Leatherface uses as a puppet during the opening scene. (He's nicknamed "Nubbins.") Chop-Top is supposed to be one of Leatherface's other brothers. According to director Tobe Hooper, Chop-Top was away in Vietnam during the events of the first movie.
