Director Jeff Burr was fired at the beginning of production. When nobody else accepted the job, he was rehired. He claims that he was probably the 50th director offered the job, as many others such as John McNaughton, Peter Jackson, Tom Savini and many others had all turned it down. He also claimed that New Line forbade him from talking to Tobe Hooper but never found out why.
Film trailer was done before they even had a director and before the production started.
Caroline Williams reprises her role as Stretch from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) in a cameo as a news reporter. Director Jeff Burr said he imagined Stretch becoming a reporter following the trauma she experienced in the second movie in an attempt to hunt down Leatherface.
The original script was much more brutal with explicit gore sequences. The producers objected to many of the scenes (one of which had a nude man being split down the middle while hung upside down) and demanded extensive changes to the script to reduce gore and violence. Further cuts had to be made to avoid an X-rating after the film was finished.
Tom Savini was offered the job of directing this film.
"Tex: Come on sweetheart. Let's see what you got. Benny: What the fuck is wrong with you people? Why don't you leave us alone? Tex: We're hungry. Benny: You never heard of pizza? [swings at Tex and misses] Tex: I like liver... [punches Benny] Tex: and onions... [strangles Benny] Tex: and pain! And pain! And pain!"
"Tex: Whaddaya think to our little lady? Tinker: ...Uncertain. Looks like she might get all screamy on us Eddie. Tex: [Slams meat cleaver on table] I wish you'd call me Tex. I told you. Tinker: Oh I'm sorry boy. Goddamit, I'm sorry... how'd you like to do us the honor of plugging that whore up?"
