his role as Leatherface in the second film, but ultimately declined.
The film spawned two more sequels; Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990) was the next, with a budget of million. Hooper did not return for the film due to scheduling conflicts with another film, Spontaneous Combustion. The film was instead directed by Jeff Burr. Chris Parcellin of Film Threat said, “It’s really just another generic slasher flick with nothing beyond the Leatherface connection to recommend it to discerning fans.” The third sequel, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation was released in 1995, starring Rene Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey. The film was a semi-remake of the original, although it was originally intended to be a complete remake of the first film. Maitland McDonagh of TV Guide’s Movie Guide said that the movie was “tired and dated.”
