- The Finnish video version excludes numerous scenes including violence. Cut by more than 15 minutes.
- Old (out of print) Japanese laserdisc (which used the title of "Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) included the complete uncut version of the film.
- In December 2018, Scream Factory issued a collector's edition Blu-ray of the film, which includes the 1997 theatrical cut, a 93-minute director's cut with optional commentary by writer-director Henkel, and several other special features.
- The 1997 release, titled "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation," cuts several scenes, including a subplot in which Jenny is abused by her stepfather. This is the most widely available version. It runs 87 minutes, while the original cut ran 94 minutes. The longer uncut version differs from the shorter "Next Generation" version in the following other ways:
- Said to take place in 1994, not 1996
- Matthew McConaughey's name is misspelled in the closing credits
- There is an early scene in which Jenny's stepfather barges into her room, threatens her and slams her against the wall
- There is more dialogue between Barry and Heather in the car
- Most scenes and shots throughout the movie are longer (cut for time in other versions)
- The tow truck scene is NOT intercut with Jenny, Heather, & Barry leaving Darla's office
- Jenny and Darla have a longer conversation in the bathroom
- Music and sound effects are almost entirely different
- The scene with Jenny escaping the house at dawn is tinted blue; the following scene with the motor home and the tow truck is tinted orange.
- The Canadian DVD release by Lionsgate is the uncut version, with a runtime of just over 93 minutes. It bears the title "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation."
