Continuity mistake: When "Lefty" is at the car crash site, you see a blue mobile home going down the road, but it is not there in the next shot. (You may not be able to see this in the full screen version (4:3)).
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tobe Hooper
Starring: Dennis Hopper, Bill Moseley, Caroline Williams, Jim Siedow
The family try to get their Grandpa to kill Stretch (in much the same manner they did with Sally in the first movie), but Lefty shows up and wounds Drayton with a chainsaw. Stretch flees, followed by Choptop, while Leatherface and Lefty duel with chainsaws. Drayton (hiding under a table) pulls out a grenade, and Lefty drives his chainsaw through Leatherface. Grandpa then tries to throw the hammer at Lefty, but hits Leatherface instead, who drops his chainsaw on Drayton, causing him to drop the grenade. Because the gas main had been ruptured earlier, the explosion destroys the theme park and (presumably) kills Lefty, Leatherface, Drayton and Grandpa. Stretch finds Grandpa's dead wife, and gets a chainsaw off the corpse. She then attacks Choptop, who falls off a cliff and into a pipe. The movie ends with her spinning her chainsaw in the same way Leatherface did at the end of TCM1.

Drayton: S-C-E-X, sex. Ya had to find out about it, didn't ya?
Trivia: Bill Moseley got the role of Chop-Top because he made a parody short film of the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Moseley's film was called "The Texas Chainsaw Manicure". Series co-creator Tobe Hooper saw the short and loved it so much that he cast Moseley in a major part when "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" went into production.

Answer: It's basically Leatherface's version of an orgasm. Stretch appeals to his sexuality in order to survive, and he's aroused. He uses his chainsaw as a phallic object, rubbing it against her leg and then pressing it into her groin, and is panting, which obviously symbolizes his idea of sex. And then he becomes aggressive, revs up his chainsaw, and destroys the studio in an explosive emotional display, not unlike the strong physical/emotional sensation that comes with an orgasm. You could also theoretically make an argument that the mess he creates by sawing and throwing things around specifically represents male ejaculation, which involves a pulsating release of semen and can be, let's just say, "messy" sometimes depending on what sexual activity you're doing.
