[edit] spelling

god, the people who edit this page seem to be completely unable to spell. i fixed a few but there might still be others -ross616- 18:41, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spin-offs

lol Worth creating an entry for the comic series? (Emperor 03:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] I removed the "he was #### in the original"

It implys that they are the same peoples--Monkey From Uranus 14:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Sawyer Family

I suggest that this be merged into the characters section. It doesn't seem to have much different information from this article and I don't see why its necessarily relevant to have its own article, barring that there be a complete history of the family's life prior to and after the film which I am not aware of.--CyberGhostface 13:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Jscarle 16:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I can't get Grandpa's page to appere on the page User:Lord Ciron 2.0 P.S. could someone get some shots of Grandma Leatherface's Dauther and for the remake a pic of Jebidia and make pages for them?

Are they important enough to deserve their own articles?--CyberGhostface 20:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry dude but as I don't own number 3 I don't know if his daugther deserves a page but could we at least get some shots of the 3 of 'em? User:Lord ciron 2.0

Guys! I found a shot of Grandma! its the version from the first film go to youtube and type a search for the tcm it on a tribute to the film User:Lord ciron 2.0

screw my last edit we have a link on chainsaw 1 thats got good pics of Grandma and Grandpa

if he is real then why dont you guys get alot of police and stuff and capture snd his family and put them all the same torture as they killed the others?

1. 1 who the heck are you? #2 NO ONE SAID THE SAWYERS ARE REAL #3 I AM User: Lord ciron 2.0

[edit] Bubba Sawyer, Jr?

I remember Leatherface's name being Bubba Sawyer. But, I don't ever recall it being Bubba Sawyer, Jr. Can someone please tell me if they got their source off of a movie, novel, comic, etc. Just as long as it isn't a website. 13jason13voorhees13 03:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

You can find it on websites, fanfic, novels mabey the movies User: Lord ciron 2.0 P.S. i put it there

In the 3rd movie Mama: Where's jr? tech called him that also User: Lord ciron 2.0

Alright. Thanks. I haven't seen the 3rd or 4th yet. I've only seen the first two, the remake, and the prequel to the remake. 13jason13voorhees13 20:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] delete

why does this article exist? each film already has its own article and there is no other media other than the movies to add to it. how did it survive deletion?

Big Suprise... FUCK YOU MISTER! (Alferdo Sawyer Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III) We need it for things that dont have articals User: Lord ciron 2.0

[edit] conflicting info

this article says there is no sequel planned and that they are coming out with a sequel...

[edit] Edward Sawyer?

Since when was Nubbins referred to as Edward? 13jason13voorhees13 21:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

look it is his name allright look in websites, fanfic, novels, comics and if you can get a copy of All American Massacre it will probably say its ed' to User: Lord ciron 2.0

[edit] Who keeps removeing the members of the family from parts 3 and 4!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!?!?!?!

I want to know whoe removed the members of the family from parts 3 and 4? When I want to know come clean you fuck face User: Lord ciron 2.0

Way to uphold WP:CIVIL. But since you asked so politely, the whole thing was a complete mess in terms of writing and filled to the brim with original research. Part 3 and 4 were different films in terms of continuity (I don't recall them being referred to as Sawyers at all) and trying to fit them in the continuity of the first two films is impossible.--CyberGhostface 03:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

And I qoute "A single menber of the murdorus family livied to see trial the joreys recored his name as W.E. SAWYER" Thats from the opening of part 3 and he appered in part 4 thank you very much and if memory serves drayton said "Oh Great-Grandma in Chainsaw Heaven" Meaning they Are Cannon User: Lord ciron 2.0 P.S. Put it back Dambit!!!!!!! P.P.S. you should laugh yourself sick from that stupid joke PinHead

Look, you made the article a cluttered mess when you dumped all the Pt3+Pt4 characters in. If you want I can make a seperate section for them, but they aren't in the same continuity. There's no way Leatherface from the first film is under government influence like the last one said.--CyberGhostface 15:42, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

how do you know? he could have been wereing a dead bodie or crossdressing it is possible User: Lord cirron 2.0 P.S. have you even seen all the films?

What are you talking about? What does Leatherface under government control and not being a cannibal have to do with crossdressing?--CyberGhostface 17:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

: he could have been wereing clothes of a girl 

like he weres their flesh go back to working on ghostface and leave this to FANS of the series besides the film could

TAKE PLACE IN THE PAST before the became cannibals. User: Lord ciron 2.0

Its not a prequel, if thats what you're thinking. It takes place in modern times whereas the original was from the 70s. What you're doing counts as original research. And I have no idea what the rest of your comment meant, you make as much as sense as Leatherface being a vegetarian.--CyberGhostface 18:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Im still just a kid you know User: Lord ciron 2.0

I got confused okay? here is a thout: the goverment says "We will keep you out of jail if you work for us" huh? Lord ciron 2.0

Your idea about the government asking them to work for them is, again, original research which basically means adding in theories that have no sources. I'll try adding your edits back in, but under a different subheading. Is that an ok compromise? I'm sorry about mass-reverting the whole thing, I should have put it in discussion first.

And (not trying to be an ass here) how did you get to watch the films at such a young age? I didn't start watching them until I was around 15 or 16.--CyberGhostface 23:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I have some more proof they had grandpa AND they were going to have chop top in it two. User: Lord ciron 2.0

Can you show it?--CyberGhostface 23:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

IS all you have in life to do is pick on me? Im only 11 for fucking sake look if it makes you happy i will delete every TCM page and every thing youve made and yes ive read it on MANY different sites User: Lord ciron 2.0

WTF is your problem? I readded your edits and I even apologized. What more do you want? And all I asked for was for the proof that you mentioned. I wasn't trying to pick on you.--CyberGhostface 16:57, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

OK OK have a OX why dont you? We shall call a truce ok? I first saw Number one original then i saw 2, 4, Remake and the begining on youtube (no one had leatherface on it) then i got my grandma to buy them for me (She's my gurdian Because my mother died) when did you add that how did I coment it was not ther before? User: Lord ciron 2.0

I added it earlier but you might have missed it. But I want to say that I'm not trying to pick on you or anyone else for that matter if I modify or change edits.--CyberGhostface 18:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah but about my idea's for pics of grandma and so forth? User: Lord ciron 2.0

[edit] All right Cyberghostface leave us alone damb it!!!!

All who agree Parts 3&4 are Cannon sighn your name below:User: Lord ciron 2.0

User: Lord ciron 2.0

And those who think Parts 3&4 are in their own continuity and aren't part of the canon established by Tobe Hooper, sign here. CyberGhostface 18:16, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean?--CyberGhostface 23:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
