Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I've watched it a few times on cable recently. I keep thinking, it's kind of funny how they make everything SOOOOOO stereotypically Texan, in the first part of the movie, until the part where Chop Top and Leatherface show up at the radio station and... you know.
Anyway, I keep noticing little thing they threw in there, to make it all seem more Texan. One character says something about some "old boys" he knows... plenty of people are wearing cowboy hats, of course... the female radio DJ, who is also the final girl/woman, has a doozy of an accent. I don't know enough about this to know for sure that it's a Texas accent, as opposed to just general south/southwest, but HOO BOY what an accent she has. There's one scene where they show a marching band marching down the street, playing patriotic music, for no reason that I can see. That chili contest seemed pretty Texan to me (not the implied cannibalism, of course (I hope)).
Also, Chop Top is probably the first role that Bill Moseley made an impression on people with, so it's a cool movie to watch just for that reason. Hey, some people were just talking about Vincent Price on the Shout board here today... VP and Bill Moseley both went to Yale. So, whatever, that's just kind of interesting.
Anyone have anything to say about this? Do any Texans here LIKE the Texas-ness of the movie??? Or is it just irritating and stereotypical and incorrect? I have no idea.
