hi everybody I'm Andrew and I gotta tell
you we were a little stumped about who
to cover next on how to kill but you
guys made it abundantly clear who you're
most afraid of and who you most want to
see six feet under so today we're taking
a trip down south to tell you how to
kill Leatherface at first I figured that
this would be easy I mean there's
nothing Supernatural about this chainsaw
sling and dansad and Sigyn icon a
fleshie fashion
Leatherface after all is an a
teleporting zombie or a demonic dream
master he's just one tough ass Texan
with a taste for human flesh
but he's actually one of the most
resilient flashers out there he's only
died in one of seven on-screen
appearances and between all the remakes
prequels and semi sequels there's not a
lot of concrete intel when it comes to
taking this big butcher down so let's
start with the original Texas Chainsaw
Massacre from 1974 wear leather faces
rampage is halted by a wrench in the
works in 1973 Sally Hardesty her
immensely annoying brother Franklin and
some friends hit the road to investigate
rumors of a grave robbing in Texas after
picking up a deranged hitchhiker the
gang stumbles on an old house filled
with human remains and a family of
crazed cannibals
that's where Leatherface makes his debut
and establishes his classic killing
repertoire right from the get-go he's
bludgeoning people with hammers hanging
them on meat hooks
and of course sawing up a helpless fat
man in a wheelchair it's kind of funny
[Music]
[Applause]
after an awkward dinner party Sally
Briggs free and runs for the highway
with Leatherface and the hitch-hiker in
hot pursuit
then a 16-wheeler comes out of nowhere
and splatters the hitchhiker all over
the asphalt and that is somehow really
satisfying the driver nails leather face
with a pipe wrench right in the night it
knocks him on his ass and his chainsaw
slices into his leg but it barely faces
him he limps after his prey but she
already escaped in a passing pickup
truck and all other face can do is kind
of dance in frustration over a decade
later in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre -
he's back in fighting shape I mean he is
able to slice off someone's head in a
moving vehicle from on top of a moving
vehicle while wearing someone else's
body I can't even pull that off in GTA
and I've never had a chainsaw tear up my
leg
Leatherface has an updated look some fun
new family members and a nemesis truly
worthy of his blame because at the end
of this movie
Leatherface dies in a duel with dennis
hopper hopper plays Sally's uncle a
Texas Ranger named lefty who's searching
for the truth behind the original
massacre laws they shy away from peace
trip together as murder they call it
accidents disappearances you got that
last slaughter on tape you play it on
the radio maybe then the laws will stop
trying to shut me up and start helping
me he locates the sawyer compound and
shows up loaded for bear with three
chainsaws lefty tears up the house and
kick some cannibal ass culminating a
power-tool duel with Leatherface himself
the two Locke saws in an epic battle
until lefty gets the upper hand and
impaled Leatherface right through the
gut
he keeps on fighting though until his
older brother drops a hand grenade that
blows up everyone in the room it'd be
pretty tough to explain how the big guy
survives this one so the next movie just
doesn't Leatherface the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre 3 opens up with our boy back in
the habit only now he's got a big leg
brace probably from this accident in the
first movie which you would think that
they would include in the second movie
but then they didn't he's got a whole
new family too
including a young Viggo Mortensen as his
brother Tex so if you ever wanted to see
Aragorn get roasted alive by the dude
from Dawn of the Dead look no further
now that he is the star Leatherface is
more dangerous and disgusting than ever
he used to be portrayed as a childlike
brute but he's downright angry in this
one the producers said that leather
faces in his rebellious teenager phase
during this movie which would explain
his weakness for hard rock
Leatherface chases our heroes Benny in
the shell into a swampy bog he slices
Benny's head open with his beautiful new
golden chainsaw because you've got to
spend all those overwatch competitive
points somewhere yes but as he's
crawling out of the water
Michele smashes his face with a nearby
boulder after whacking him 11 times
Leatherface sinks below the surface
never to be seen again until the last
shot of the movie as Michele escapes
Leatherface limps into frame and
harasses chainsaw as the credits roll
classy
the next entry in the series the next
generation is easily the weirdest they
shot this movie in 1995 but contract
issues kept it on the shelf for two
years then after leaves Renee Zellweger
and not the McConaughey became huge
stars the studio redid the poster and
rushed it out to cash in on their new
fame this one takes some liberties with
the Texas Chainsaw War for one thing the
family has a new extremely unsettled
name the slaughters they're also no
longer cannibals instead of feasting on
human flesh the family has a fun pizza
party instead we get some insight into
their origins this time around turns out
the whole massacring people with
chainsaws thing is just a job for the
slaughter family aptly named they've
been hired by the literal Illuminati to
show people the true meaning of horror
whatever that means
I want these people to know
[Music]
is that you
an official Illuminati plane helps Rene
Zellweger escape by slicing off the top
of Matthew McConaughey's head with the
propeller it just misses Leatherface
though and after his prey hops into an
official Illuminati limo he's left to
dance alone once more this guy really
knows how to get over his problems he
just dances it out you dance like no
one's watching
[Music]
when it comes to slasher movies once you
start getting bogged down in Colts and
conspiracies it's probably a sign to
step away and take some time before
doing it again it happened with
Halloween it happened with Friday the
13th and it happened with the Texas
Chainsaw Massacre so the series banished
until 2003 when Michael Bay's Platinum
Dunes production company bought us a
remake and compared to the relatively
light on Gore original the BEI hem is
cranked up to 11
[Applause]
Leatherface survives the film which
makes sense I mean you don't want to
kill off your star at the beginning of a
new reboot series but even if you can't
die he can still be disarmed near the
end of the remake Jessica Biel finds
herself hiding in a locker solid snake
style this reminds me of when we first
met while other face is distracted by an
adorable little pig you see he hacks his
arm up with a meat cleaver
[Music]
how's that taste of your own medicine
sorry he takes a breather to gather his
thoughts and rallies enough for one last
scare as she escapes into the night we
never actually get to see what happens
to the remake Leatherface after the
first movie so god only knows what kind
of sick prosthetic he's whipped up to
replace his arm probably another
chainsaw if you gave me a million
guesses
[Music]
the next movie the beginning was a
prequel so unless the series takes a
hard sci-fi turn it's safe to say you
survived that one same deal with this
year's Leatherface which is set in the
og timeline before the first film we
learned more about his origins why he
wears the mask and where he gets all
those wonderful toys but it's not
particularly helpful when it comes to
killing him neither as Texas Chainsaw 3d
which ignores every movie but the
original Leatherface is actually kind of
sympathetic in this one I mean as
sympathetic as one can be while
dismembering people and tossing them
into meat grinders and after he finds
his long-lost cousin Heather the two
live a happy life inside their mansion
of death at the end of the day
Leatherface is just a mortal man with a
gassed up chainsaw and won the hell of
an appetite it's not voodoo magic or
nanomachines keeping them alive it's the
kindness and support of his loving
family so keep your loved ones close
call your brother feed your grandpa
because you never know when that next
ban of teenagers is gonna run out of hey
guys we're all big fans of that cuddly
cannibal Leatherface here at now this
and now that you guys know how to kill
him we need to know who to cover next
