Talk:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 film)

Group's Reaction
Uh, not sure if this is even warranted as a discussion on this page. But I changed the kids' reaction to the girl shooting herself from "shaken" to "horrified". I get shaken if a car nearly sideswipes me; if a girl blows her brains out in my car I pretty much lose it.

Plot summary & character descriptions
If someone would care to cut down the plot so that it's a *summary* and not a full description of most of the movie. And if that same person or someone else could edit if not do away with that those awful character descriptions so that they don't say things like "he died a hero" and "5th best person" to survive. They seem very biased and lingo-y amongst elementary/teenaged fans of the film. Or I'll do it later, but I don't have time to make the necessary edits at the moment. Thanks. - LoveLaced (talk) 05:51, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, I moved this back because it was pretty current whereas nothing else on the archive page was posted after last August. This page still needs a rewrite if anyone wants to do it. - LoveLaced (talk) 01:46, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I cut down the length of the plot by 60% (by word count) without taking much out. I'm all for removing the character descriptions entirely.  If no one responds with any opinion in the next week or so, I'll do it.  They don't add anything necessary beyond what is given in the plot section.  Jabberwockgee (talk) 06:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The entire cast section should be removed and added into the plot where appropriate.--EclipseSSD (talk) 20:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I tried to edit some of the plot and was blocked. Most of my edits were kept while the one that erked me the most was changed back, leading me to believe this was the reason was blocked. As I tried to clarify in my edit, the character Kemper was not offed by a sledgehammer, but an axe to the upper back in the spine. I know this because 1) it was shaped like an axe and 2) it remained in his back where he was struck until it was removed. If someone would like to make this change seeing as I'm apparently not allowed, it would make the article more accurate.

 * When Kemper is killed, I don't think it's possible to determine what the weapon is. And I can't find when it is removed.  Jabberwockgee (talk) 00:12, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The plot summary looks a lot better. Good job. I think this article, along with the other Chainsaw films, should be written the way that the 1974 film is now. We're trying to get that one to FA status.--EclipseSSD (talk) 10:26, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (film) → The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 film) – The disambiguation in brackets should be the sole word "film" if and only if the other element to disambiguate wasn't a film, a novel for example, but it is a film. That's why this article should be titled The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 film), with a disambiguation year indication. Kintaro (talk) 22:21, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Further disambiguation is required to avoid ambiguity. Jenks24 (talk) 09:05, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Even though the 1974 film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, is slightly spelled differently with an additional space between "chain" and "saw", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (film)" is still ambiguous for those not aware of that difference. Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:05, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Missing Production section
This article is missing information on the film's production, this should be added to the article to give it a wider scope.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:52, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Out of her What?
I have not seen the film, but I have handled a .357 Magnum and wonder if this line is simply vandalism: "She pulls a .357 Magnum, out of her vagina, and shoots herself in the mouth." I was simply going to erase it then thought, "this movie sounds so bad that perhaps she actually does do this anatomically impossible act, better ask first." So here I am, asking. Linguafoeda 02:29, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

It's not explicitly shown but it is implied since she reaches between her legs and pulls out the gun, and it isn't completely impossible since my suspicions are that it was forcibly inserted there, by whom I don't know (Probably Sheriff Hoyt). And to argue with your conflicting doubts on the movie, it is actually very good, despite what critics and audience members have said. Hope this helps.--Paleface Jack (talk) 00:45, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Expansion
This article is not as well covered and well detailed as Platinum Dunes' other remake A Nightmare on Elm Street, there is a lot more information on the film's production that can be added to the article, also there needs to be more reviews from notable critics in the film's reception section. I have already added some information on the film's production but there is much more that needs to be added.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:18, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Expand Production and Reception Sections
Since I have been too busy lately working on different things at the moment I was wondering if someone with the exception of NinjaRobotPirate would be willing to expand the article's production and reception sections. There is some information that can be found in the "In The Making of" videos on the film. If anyone is willing to do that please let me know. Personally I'm tired of having to expand all articles that are in this type of condition by myself and most likely NinjaRobotPirate feels the same way.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:48, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Citation and Expansion
This article is missing important citations to its information and needs to be expanded. More information on the film's production can be added to the article with more detail going into the film's development and production. Information that is missing citations needs to be sourced properly and production stills of the film can be added to the production section. All of these fixes and additions need to occur in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's standards of a well developed and well sourced article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 16:48, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
