this might be a stupid question
 

i was just wondering if chop top in tcm 2, was also the hitchhiker in the first one. they both have a red mark on their cheek. and they also like cutting themselves.
just wondering.

Very good question. My theory is they were twins. Choptop was perhaps away in 'Nam while the events of the first film were happening. There's just no way the hitchhiker could have survived that semi.

No not the same actor if thats what your asking I cant recall his name now for some reason but the guy who played chop top also played Otis in House of 1000 corpses and is in some other horror films as well.

Bill Moseley.

Now that you mention it I have always wondered that myself, I thought for sure that the Hitchiker character couldnt have survived being run over by the semi, then I thought thats why he has a plate in his head, but if I remember correctly he said he got the plate in his head while he was in Vietnam. I think your theory is probably the best one I have heard Avenger I never thought that maybe he had a twin brother.

Thanks Avenger, I knew it was something Moseley but for some reason Alonzo Moseley kept coming to mind, from the movie Midnight Run and I knew that wasnt right. LOL

And I also think (other than the fact that I'm reading too much into this...hehe) that Nubbins (that dead body that Choptop was always playing with) was the hitchhiker's body.

I'm not sure on this one, but I think that red mark dabruce is referring to is on the opposite cheek on Choptop. Kinda like Tomax and Xamot.

Nubbins even made it on the box cover:

Anyone ever notice that they are in the same position as the Breakfast Club? Too funny.

HAHA I never noticed that I just went and got the 2 films and they are in the same postions, somebody has a great sense of humor.

yeah, those were some good theories, i never even thought of some of those ideas. is the tcm 3, worth buying?
