Leatherface's introduction in Hooper's original stands tall as one of the scariest scenes of all time, but every entry in the 'Texas Chainsaw' pantheon has its memorable moments, from Dennis Hopper double-fisting chainsaws in Hooper's 1986 sequel to Ken Foree kicking butt and taking names in 'Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III' four years later, and R. Through a series of unfortunate events, the youths get on Leatherface's bad side, and even though the Large Adult Son has been dormant for nearly fifty years, he can still mightily swing a Husqvarna.
