Continuity mistake: When Barry and Heather are walking along in the woods, as Barry says "that bitch, she started this whole thing," his collar changes from tucked under his black suit to suddenly being out, between shots. (00:21:00)
Continuity mistake: As Jenny is climbing up a big aeriel on the roof, Leatherface swings his chainsaw at the aeriel. In shots of him swinging the chainsaw, Jenny has disappeared from the aeriel. You can almost see the whole aeriel, and she isn't there! (00:38:40)
Continuity mistake: When the motorbike rides by, Jenny runs after it yelling "No, wait." In this shot Jenny has the flashlight in her right hand and the big red rose as part of her prom outfit is on her left breast. But the next shot is obviously flipped, as the torch is now in her left hand and the rose is on her right breast. (00:19:25)
Continuity mistake: When Leatherface chases Jenny, she locks the front door and then Leatherface uses his chainsaw to break pieces of the door out. However in a rear shot some of the door that Leatherface previously broke off is now back intact. (00:37:20)
Revealing mistake: When Jenny jumps through the window, as she lands on the roof she rolls to the side and her legs fly upward. You can clearly see she has protective padded socks on. She is barefoot in all previous and following shots. (00:37:45)
Revealing mistake: As she is chased by Leatherface, Jenny runs to Darla's real estate trailer and bangs on the door. As soon as the trailer comes into shot, you can clearly see through the glass of the door, Darla is standing by the door already (waiting for cue) and then she opens the door after a few seconds, in suprise. (00:40:40)
Continuity mistake: When Jenny is standing at the open door of Vilmer's truck, asking him where Sean is, she has her left hand resting on the truck door. In the next shot it's her right hand resting on the door, and then her left again in the next shot. (00:31:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Jenny runs to Darla's trailer after being chased by Leatherface, she runs inside and trips, and her dress pulls upward, beautifully revealing the flesh-coloured kneepads she's wearing for the stunt. (00:40:45)
Continuity mistake: The cut above Jenny's left eye differs in various scenes. For instance, in the kitchen scene it is at least a centimetre above her eyebrow, but then in the scene where Vilmer holds the knife up to her throat it is right above her eyebrow. (00:51:20 - 00:54:30)
Continuity mistake: When Darla arrives home, as she is walking indoors with the pizzas, the pizza boxes rotate in her hands a few times, evident by the large "pizza" printed on one side of the box. (00:47:55)
Revealing mistake: When Vilmer is chasing after Jenny across the field in his truck, in the frontal shots of Jenny running you can see that she is wearing some kind of (protective?) white leggins that are not present in any other scene. (00:34:30)
Continuity mistake: When Darla is telling her blonde joke to Jenny and Heather in her trailer, in the wideshot her hands are on her desk but in the closeup her arms are up by her face. (00:12:45)
Revealing mistake: When Jenny is cowering in the corner of the roof, as Leatherface is attacking the chimney with his chainsaw, you can clearly see that Jenny is not Renée Zellweger, but a stunt double. (00:38:25)
Continuity mistake: When Jenny is in Vilmer's truck and he is talking to her and scaring her, during the whole scene in the truck, Jenny's hair is inconsistent throughtout. Sometimes it is messy, then neater and her fringe constantly changes position. (00:33:30)
Continuity mistake: W.E brings a big part of a door into the kitchen and says "look at what your brother did to this door," and then he places it down so it leans up against the other door. Then moments later the big section of the door is now lying on the floor. It is leaning back up again a few seconds later. (00:49:25)
Continuity mistake: When Jenny is in the car with Vilmer, there is a radio speaker hanging on a wire next to her. When she says "What's gonna happen to me," between shots the radio speaker disappears from the end of the wire. (00:33:35)
Continuity mistake: When Jenny jumps through a window to get away from Leatherface, the window next to the window she jumps through is closed. Seconds later it is open. (00:37:45)
Continuity mistake: When Leatherface is chasing Heather, he breaks through the door, and a large portion of the door breaks out and falls to the floor. But in the next shot, the same part of the door that fell out is still broke off, but is now half hanging from the door and then falls off again. (00:26:25)
Continuity mistake: When Leatherface chases Jenny on the roof, he starts knocking bricks off of the chimney with his chainsaw. Some bricks that fall off the chimney reappear back on it in the next shot. (00:38:25)
Continuity mistake: After the car crash, Barry kneels down to check the man's pulse. In the next shot Barry is nowhere near the man, but in the next shot he is still checking his pulse. (00:08:40)
