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)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: After Jenny yells "It's fucking pathetic" to Vilmer, Vilmer gets mad and throws a book across the room, and then grabs Darla and throws her to the floor. The chair next to Darla has three bones on the top of it as 'decoration.' As Vilmer grabs her and throws her down, the tall white bone on top of the chair falls to the floor. But in the next shot as Vilmer whacks W.E with a hammer, the bone is back on the chair. (01:05:35)

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)

The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Leatherface gets Heather in the house, he grabs her and drags her down the hallway, as he enters a room, Heather grabs the sides of the doorway, to pull herself away from him. In the shot, you can see the wall to the right of the doorway has a mirror on the wall, nothing else, and on the counter below is a few lone lightbulbs and a coke can. However in the next shot, so many objects appear. There's now meathooks, chains and belts hanging on the wall either side of the mirror, and the counter is now covered in canisters, metal barrels and boxes. (00:27:05)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: Jenny wears a white silk scarf loosely around her neck, as part of her prom outfit. As Leatherface chases her through the muddy river, the scarf falls down her body to her waist. In the next shot though, it's back round her neck. But oh no, the fun doesn't stop there. After this, she removes the scarf from her neck and throws it in the river, not one, not two, but THREE times between shots. (00:36:25)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: Leatherface Chases Jenny through a muddy river, but when they reach the house seconds later, they are both very much drier. (00:36:25 - 00:37:25)

Hamster

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)

Hamster

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)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: Between shots from when Vilmer leaves the kitchen (and throws the big broken part of door at the wall) and then when W.E leaves the kitchen seconds later, the trash over the hallway floor and the kitchen floor (cardboard, wood, paper) drastically differs position and location, and additional trash appears too. (00:50:50)

Hamster

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)

Hamster

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)

Hamster

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)

Hamster
