Ranking the Leatherfaces

[@NocturnalToothbrush]

Finally, a reasonable list. A list that's clearly explained why they are where they are. 10/10

[@chrisdravez6837]

It’s crazy how I agree 100% with the 2001 version, every other review on KZbin shits on that movie, clearly the best won

I met Andrew Bryniarski last month and got a photo op with his Leatherface costume.. he's HUGE! Definitely my favorite Leatherface. 03 remake was my first TCM film

[@themaximusfilms3194]

The best version of leatherface for me was the 2003 and 2006 ones bcoz theyre scary and aggressive asf. I personally love the design of leatherface in 2003, big and chunky.

[@jamest98]

Agreed

[@jameskuhn432]

Definitely agree! He's my top favorite as well!

[@spotos5154]

Exactly… I don’t get why they couldn’t just continue making the movies like how they were in 2003 and 2006… that was by far the scariest leatherfaces…

[@samuelbarber6177]

Leatherface has always been probably the most interesting of the classic slashers to me. Micheal Myers, as creepy as he is, is just kind of a one note hell demon or something (I have no idea what Loomis was on about), Jason Voorhees is fine and scary enough but I’m not all too interested in him and Freddy Krueger to me is just the same, the most interesting thing about him is that he talks… but he never shuts up. Leatherface is the most interesting to me because he may be the most memorable character from these films and the only character to appear in every film (one of the only three characters who appears in more than one film anyway) but he’s never the main villain. He’s always under someone else’s control. As scary as he is, his problem is that he doesn’t have complex thoughts or wants or desires of his own. He’s always under the orders of his family. He’s severely mentally impaired to the point when he just doesn’t comprehend what he does. He’s also the most human of any of the classic villains. All the others are in some way mythologised to be supernatural, but Leatherface, he’s just a guy. One sick, kind of pitiable guy. I don’t even really blame him, I just think he should be left in a mental home. He’s not even malicious, it’s just his occupation. I like Gunnar Hansen the best because of his mannerisms which present something almost industrial about what he does. When he smashes that hammer, there’s weight to it. He grunts, he stumbles. I just love his physicality. He just does what he does because in his mind he’s protecting his home. He’s also the only villain from classic slasher films to be inspired by a real person

[@rowan9150]

That’s why the new Texas Chainsaw movie sucked, because Leatherface became a one note character like Michael Myers. “Leatherface kill, fans like that🥴”

[@zacharyflanders2116]

Ranking them by "which would I be more afraid of in a horror movie setting" I'd definitely go with Brynairski because his portrayal seems the most brutal and intimidating. My favorite is still Hansen's because he brought more to the character and no one has been able to replicate his portrayal the same way.

[@80s_monsterkid28]

Solid list! Your impression of Next Gen Leatherface had me laughing! 😂

[@Xehanort10]

I still don't understand how the filmmakers wanted people to react to that version of Leatherface. Did they want people to be scared, laugh at him, feel sorry for him or what?

[@80s_monsterkid28]

[@GamblerOfFate777]

For me the best Leatherface is from Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Beginning he looks scary he’s a monster and super brutal also that movie has my favorite mask in the entire series it looks so bloody and awesome it’s fresh also it’s the face of Matt Bomer I’ve always had a crush on him he’s so gorgeous so Leatherface cutting off that handsome man’s face and wearing it makes sense if I’m being honest

I would rank them the exact same way except I would put Part 2 Leatherface over Part 3 Leatherface. I really like his look in Part 2. The performance is wacky and goofy which fits the tone of the movie. I enjoy it a lot and I would personally take that over the super generic portrayal we got in 3.

@silver banx He's too powerful though. He literally shrugs off injuries that would kill normal people multiple times over despite being an old man with no powers...

[@renatos6330]

Leatherface in 3 is one of the most developed one in the franchise. He drives a truck, loves music, is a parent but acts like an annoyed teenager when confronted. How is he bland compared to the other iterations? Just because he’s a slasher villain doesn’t mean it’s a crime to go beyond the original film. He’s human afterall.

[@chasewallace321]

i agree also the movie is just fucking hilarious from alfredo to the end fight and when the house gets shot up lmaoo. super underrated imo, not a good movie but i enjoy it so much

[@BloodeeJacob]

Love the list man! I still don’t personally have a problem with how intelligent he was in 2022 as he’s spent however long among normal people, I don’t think it’s completely implausible that he would have picked up on some things. Him and Andrew’s in 03’ and The Beginning are at my top!

[@BloodeeJacob]

Also… In defense of Leatherface in III (1990), I think it’s a damn good version of him too. It was a return to form of the self serious unease of the original film after Part 2 was way too comedic, Leatherface felt imposing again and it’s definitely the best look and mask out of the original films. Not boring, it was sometimes even more dark/moody than the first. In defense of Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw 3D, he was fairly brutal, had a good look and they weren’t necessarily saying he’s a hero or antihero now..at least I see it as them taking a different perspective and what we’re seeing play out is crazy bad people killing other bad people. Leatherface who is still a psycho killer chainsawing shitty corrupt citizens and cops. 🤷‍♂️

[@oocbaby]

Personally the original has a more impact in terms of horror, especially the frst time we meet him. He stays in our memory and it's all thanks to the direction of the film. There hasn't been a good TCM sequel, requel, remake, remaining, or w.e. that can validate reasoning of knocking down the original from the top spot.

[@advocateofkaos3246]

It's opinion based man, your not wrong about the ogs impact but I actually prefer the remake, it's more rewatchable for me

That’s your opinion man. I personally think the remake is much better with higher reply value

@@advocateofkaos3246 of course it's opinion based. And certain opinions can be respected to a certain degree.

The Leatherface in the remake was kind of boring. There’s just something lazy about making your (human) villain some massive, hulking beast. His mask was also pretty lame. Although the slow-motion shot when he’s looking at Jessica Alba’s character wearing her bf’s face with the feathers (cotton?) floating around him was awesome.

[@DirtySouthJR]

That shot has stuck in my mind from seeing the film just once years ago. Beautifully brutal. Also, I want to believe....

I was in college when the remake hit the theaters and I got my brother and my two roommates to come with me. I thought it was going to be exactly like the original and that's what I told them and I will never forget when the hitchhiker shoots herself in the head in the van, my brother and two roommates all just leaned forward in their seats and looked at me. None of them were a fan of the movie. I just watched it again recently and it is SO good.

My favorite is definitely the one from The Beginning and the 2003 remake (technically it’s the same character). Love the masks in both movies and the guy is huge and intimidating, but also pretty damn fast for his size. The part where he makes his first “mask” in The Beginning is so damn gross haha, and I agree that it’s my favorite mask. And personally I love the sheer brutality of that movie, I guess because the weapon is a chainsaw I like that blood is just going all over the place while he’s killing people in that movie.
