What's left behind the scenes
- In 2002, it was announced that Marilyn Manson would be the composer for the film, but he later left the project due to a conflict with the producers.
- Erika Leerseen screamed so loudly during filming that people on the other side of the building called the police, believing a woman was actually being attacked.
- The film is banned in Ukraine.
- Lauren German, who played the hitchhiker, originally auditioned for the role of Erin but wasn't suitable. Interestingly, Katie Holmes was also considered for the same role of Erin.
- When actor Andrew Bryniarski learned that a remake of the cult film was being made, he went to producer Michael Bay's Christmas party and asked for the role of Leatherface.
- Gunnar Hansen, who starred in the original, was offered the role of the truck driver at the end of the film.
- The chainsaw model is 'Husqvarna-359', but it was not released in 1973.
- Erika Leerseen screamed so much during filming that people on the other side of the building called the police, believing a woman was genuinely being attacked.
- Before filming the scene in the van with R. Lee Ermey (playing Sheriff Hoyt) and Jonathan Tucker (as Morgan), the latter would put the barrel of a revolver in his throat before each take to induce vomiting. You can see him spit up vomit at one point.
- The scene with the opossum had to be reshot repeatedly because in every take the animal looked simply cute and charming, but not frightened.
- Preparing for the role of Leatherface, actor Andrew Bryniarski ate nothing but brisket with white bread to gain weight, eventually reaching over 130 kg.
- The beginning and end of the film are based on real events, while everything else is fictional. The film is loosely based on the deeds of Ed Gein, a serial killer and necrophile from Wisconsin.
- Initially, Brett Wagner was cast as Leatherface, and even filmed one of the murder scenes, but he suffered a heatstroke during filming and had to be replaced.
- The chainsaw model is 'Husqvarna-359', but it was not manufactured in 1973.
