I'll keep this short because this movie is so awful I don't want to waste time writing too much about it. The acting in '70s pornos is better than what you'll find here. All of the characters are beyond ignorant so you don't care what happens to any of them.A couple of things I learned: Watching your mother have sex will traumatize you to the point of changing your hair color from a very light blond to dark brown. Also, in the '70s you evidently didn't need any ID to cash a check in a bank.This movie is mean-spirited and exploitive. Poor Linnea Quigley had to dance around naked and have beer poured on her. I only wish I had the power to destroy every copy of this dumb film. 1/10

When I was watching this film for the first time, I was in tears of laughter as the opening credits were rolling up the screen, knowing full well what to expect. They say don't judge a book by its cover, but when I saw the cover for "The Butcher", I just knew there was a gem inside. Never before have I laughed so much. This film has become legendary at my school. John King III is a genius! Just how many times can Slick say: "Now I got your ayyass!"? Why also does Slick go "bing-bong-bing-bong-boinggg" when he drops the sacred "Wheeler's kniyfe"? Keep up the good work!

Myself and friends first discovered this film about five years ago and have since enjoyed the film on a very comic level. The acting is bad, the characters non-descript and the editing pitiful, but with all this I have to agree that it is a work of comic genius. The extremely long chase between Slick and Mr Phillips is surely the longest in film history and Wheeler is as threatening as a lump of dead wood. The strange thing is there is a title song that appears to be written for the film which means that possibly all the budget went on this. I dont know if the film was cut for the UK release but there is nothing in this film that warrants an 18 rating. All I can say is check your car boot sales or local flea markets and try to pick up a copy of this film that will have you reciting the dialogue over and over again .

The quality of this movie can be summed up in two words, "Wanna Root?" This is the phrase that can be heard over and over in the restaurant scene where Slick meets Wheeler. It's in the background noise, which is obviously about 8 seconds worth of noise being looped over and over. Ah, What to say about this film? On every technical level, Psycho From Texas is a total failure. The editing is horrendous, you can see scratches in the film. The acting is equally bad. At some points continuity is non-existent. Despite all of this, I enjoyed Psycho From Texas on a comedic level. It tries really hard to be scary and shocking, but ends up laughable. If you can find a copy of it somewhere, rent it. Rent it just to hear Slick squeal in the chase scene near the end. Rent it to hear Wheeler say, "No! You listen here, old man!" You can probably rent it for a buck, if you can find it at all.
