Biography[]

Equipment[]

  • Chainsaw: Junior Sawyer used a custom-designed gold-plated chainsaw made for him by Tinker Sawyer. It had the words "The Saw is Family" engraved upon the blade.
  • Mallet: If a chainsaw isn't available, a good ole trusty mallet will do the trick. This is what he used to whack Gina across the noggin.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Whereas other versions of Leatherface wore different skin masks, Junior only wore one. His mask was taken from a victim named Gina, which is indicated by the flower tattoo on right side of her face.
  • Junior is the second of three "Leatherface" characters featured in the original film series. The first was Jedidiah "Bubba" Sawyer. The third is known only as Leather.
  • It is implied that the little girl in the Sawyer household is Junior's daughter. However, this is never explicitly stated. Junior demonstrates a fatherly fondness for the little girl, and Tinker notes that he is great at "making babies".
  • Junior's genealogical relationship to the other members of the family is unclear. It is safe to assume that he is the son of Anne Sawyer. Tinker, Alfredo and Tex may be Junior's brothers, or they may be cousins. There is also a possibility of being cross-relational, though there is no clear account of inbreeding demonstrated amongst the family members.
  • It is also unclear whether Junior is actually a cannibal. At no point in the movie is he ever seen consuming human flesh or blood.

Body count[]

  • Gina - Smashed across head with mallet.
  • Sara - Eviscerated with chainsaw.
