* PyrrhicVictory: Chucky is vanquished, but his rampage has left Andy and Kyle homeless.

* WhamShot: When Kyle opens the garbage can and discovers Chuky is missing.

** Not to mentioned TooDumbToLive social workers and factory employees and a minor newspaper truck driver who [[JerkassHasAPoint understandably]] from an impartial viewpoint can be [[BerserkButton irked]] if getting run off the road for seemingly no reason (except to prevent a killer doll to transfer his soul to a child). Plus, in contrast to the [[DissonantSerenity seemingly and visually family-friendly]] [[NotSoAboveItAll environment]], anyone besides Chucky can be [[SirSwearsALot Sir Swears-a-Lot]] (or go into a ClusterFBomb or inflict a PrecisionFStrike towards somebody, like Kyle or the truck driver when confronting Kyle), though not as much as Chucky, who swears the most.

** Towards the end, a security guard falls onto the conveyer line where the dolls' eyes are put in.

* GoodIsDumb: Unlike her {{Obstructive Bureaucrat}}ic husband, Joanne instantly grew with compassion for Andy despite herself naturally not believing Chucky is alive like everybody else except Andy, but she does not contribute to the main storyline and [[spoiler:TookALevelInJerkass after Phil's death when she finally accepts Phil's InsaneTrollLogic of Andy being bad luck (and probably the killer as the theatrical cut implies unlike the television cut) before ending up an AssholeVictim one moment later. Despite given more screen time in the television cut, her TookALevelInJerkass move was worse than her theatrical depiction as while Phil's skeptics of taking care of Andy are more justifiable and reasonable that the television cut shows, it makes it look like her blaming Andy for being a killer was ''her'' InsaneTrollLogic alone, not Phil's.]]
** Grace Poole is also one of the few of adults who cared for Andy, but also naturally disbelieves in the existence of Chucky and [[spoiler:understandably reprimand Kyle for pulling the fire alarm when it was in fact Chucky before immediately falling victim to him when Chucky ambushes her with his "Amazing isn't it?" liner [[TooDumbToLive before she had the chance to drop the]] KillerDoll]]. Even earlier, she failed to identified the man on the phone she spoken to who called himself Andy's "Uncle Charles" was not other than Chucky himself, though she had no way to know it was a KillerDoll she was speaking to.

* ImprovisedWeapon: As mentioned above, Chucky fashions a knife hand for himself after getting his knife broken and ripping off his hand to escape the grate Kyle drops on him.

* LighterAndSofter: The television cut is this to the film's theatrical cut, due to it showing life for Andy is not as much o a CrapsackWorld that theatrical version depicts instead, including more insight between him and social workers that the social workers are genuinely caring and kind and [[HiddenDepths more insight]] on the Simpsons (which nearly makes them {{Decoy Protagonist}}s in contrast to the [[DemotedToExtra non-vital roles]] they had in the theatrical cut) that shows that Phil is in fact a JerkWithAHeartOfGold than a straight {{Jerkass}} in the theatrical cut and [[spoiler:and less of an AssholeVictim when he is killed]], while explaining the personal issues the Simpsons are going through as a result of their fostering duties. However, conversely it makes Mattson [[spoiler:an AssholeVictim when it reveals him to be cheating on his wife with a woman named Gabrielle]], something cut out in theatrical cut.

* MoralMyopia: Kyle in her free time loves smoking cigarettes. She has Andy hold one for a second to hang laundry, and he tries it. Kyle takes it away and says he shouldn't do so. When Andy points out why she can but he can't, Kyle claims there's an age gap between them and that grown-ups are allowed to do things like smoking. Andy points out she's a teenager not an adult.

* RasputinianDeath: Chucky's [[spoiler: hand is detached, his legs are ripped off, he's doused in melted plastic and finally his head is inflated by a high pressure air tube and blows up.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Chucky forces Kyle to drive him to Andy at knife point, but she is speeding and a police officer signals her to pull over. The officer starts to reprimand Kyle, but catches sight of Chucky nosebleeding, and he is freaked out over a "plastic" doll bleeding that he lets Kyle go out of fear.

* StupidEvil: Chucky indulges in this quite a bit in this film, and it ends of costing him dearly. To wit;

** Much like the first movie, Chucky kills a whole lot of people and gets away with it by pretending to be an inanimate doll. ''Un''like the first movie, however, he knows from the start that he's got a short amount of time to transfer his soul to Andy's body and therefore ''really'' shouldn't be screwing around like this. He doesn't even have the excuse of killing people he holds responsible for his death -- his victims are just random people this time around. [[spoiler:This ends up biting him ''hard'' in the end, when he finally gets around to preforming the transfer ritual and discovers he took too long with his killing spree and is now permanently stuck as a doll]].

* VerbThis: After Tommy the Good Guys doll says that he likes to be hugged, Chucky says "Hug this!", before bashing his face in (why Chucky wants to "murder" a non-possessd, ordinary ''toy'' is known only to him).

* WouldHurtAChild: Chucky, obviously. Aside from the terrorizing Andy show, there's also a really horrifying moment in the novelization where he's burying the Tommy doll and thinks to himself about the last time he had buried something that small. "She had been a bit bigger than the doll", the narration tells us. "But not much. Not too much." There is also SadistTeacher Miss Kettlewell, who was already shown to be emotionally abusive towards Andy after Chucky frames him by writing a vulgar insult on his schoolwork to to push her BerserkButton and she herself would not look out of place as those old-fashioned, disciplining {{Schoolmarm}} stereotypes before the 1980s and 90s (which the original trilogy including this film took place and when they were filmed), where those practices were declared illegal in Western countries, so Miss Kettlewell would be considered corrupt by the film's timeframe for her brutal methods. When she confronts and berates Andy for this alleged action against her, it can almost look like she was about to physically slap Andy for protesting his innocence to her or just looking at Chucky hiding in the classroom's cabinet.

* LighterAndSofter: The television cut is this to the film's theatrical cut, due to it showing life for Andy is not much a CrapsackWorld that theatrical version depicts instead, including more insight between him and social workers that the social workers are genuinely caring and kind and [[HiddenDepths more insight]] on the Simpsons (which nearly makes them {{Decoy Protagonist}}s in contrast to the [[DemotedToExtra non-vital roles]] they had in the theatrical cut) that shows that Phil is in fact a JerkWithAHeartOfGold than a straight {{Jerkass}} in the theatrical cut and [[spoiler:and less of an AssholeVictim when he is killed]], while explaining the personal issues the Simpsons are going through as a result of their fostering duties. However, conversely it makes Mattson [[spoiler:an AssholeVictim when it reveals him to be cheating on his wife with a woman named Gabrielle]], something cut out in theatrical cut.

* AbortedArc: Chucky was originally going to reincarnate right away, as an epilogue present in both the TV cut and the film novelization shows pieces of Chucky (most notably one of his eyes) falling into the machines making a new Good Guy doll. This epilogue was scrapped, as the sequel reveals Chucky ultimately had to wait eight years before getting a new body.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Chucky's own death]] being horribly mutilated by factory hazards, then dowsed with molten plastic, and finally having his [[YourHeadAsplode head exploded using an air hose]]

* DeadlyNosebleed: Chucky has periodic nosebleeds throughout the film as his doll body [[BloodUpgrade grows more human]], and a big one towards the end where he attempts the soul transfer ritual only for it to fail because he took too long.

** Much like the last movie, Chucky kills a whole lot of people and gets away with it by pretending to be an inanimate doll. ''Un''like the first movie, however, he knows from the start that he's got a short amount of time to transfer his soul to Andy's body and therefore ''really'' shouldn't be screwing around like this.

[[spoiler:This ends up biting him ''hard'' in the end, when he finally gets around to preforming the transfer ritual and discovers he took too long with his killing spree and is now permanently stuck as a doll]].

** He takes the place of the Tommy doll Andy's foster family got him by ''smashing its face in with a rock'' and burying it in the backyard (all while [[EvilLaugh laughing manically]]) -- a completely pointless gesture because it's literally just a ''doll'' and he could've just as easily chucked it in the nearest trash bin and been done with it. This leads to him being found out when Kyle discovers the buried Tommy doll and realizes that Andy was telling the truth.

[[spoiler:This ends up biting him ''hard'' in the end, when he finally gets around to preforming the transfer ritual and discovers he took too long indulging in his murder fetish and is now permanently stuck as a doll]].

** Much like the last movie, Chuckie kills a whole lot of people and gets away with it by pretending to be an inanimate doll. ''Un''like the first movie, however, he knows from the start that he's got a short amount of time to transfer his soul to Andy's body and therefore ''really'' shouldn't be screwing around like this.

This leads to him being found out when Kyle discovers the buried Tommy doll and realizes that Andy was telling the truth.

* BigNo: Chucky gives out a very big "No!" when he finds out that it's too late to bodysurf into Andy. Doubles as SkywardScream when his "NO!" is heard as the camera zooms to the outside of the Good Guy factory.

** Much like the last movie, Chuckie kills a whole lot of people and gets away with it by pretending to be an inanimate doll. ''Un''like the first movie, however, he knows from the start that he's got a short amount of time to transfer his soul to Andy's body and therefore ''really'' shouldn't be screwing around like this.

** He takes the place of the Tommy doll Andy's foster family got him by ''smashing its face in with a shovel'' and burying it in the backyard (all while [[EvilLaugh laughing manically]]) -- a completely pointless gesture because it's literally just a ''doll'' and he could've just as easily chucked in the nearest trash bin and been done with it. This leads to him being found out when Kyle discoveres the buried Tommy doll and realizes that Andy was telling the truth.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: Chucky is now running out of time to BodySurf into Andy before he gets trapped in the doll.

* AdvertisedExtra: Jenny Agutter and Gerrit Graham are given second and third billings, however in the theatrical cut, their characters the Simpsons were not really essential to invest in, while Kyle, played by Christine Elise who is billed fourth, has the most screen time just below Andy. Averted in the television cut, where they given more screen time and focus on their one arc that involves their fostering duties, which makes their actors' second and third billings below Kyle's actress' fourth billing a lot more sense then in the theatrical cut.

** Then there's [[spoiler:Miss Kettlewell]], a SadistTeacher if ever there was one, and even shown to be outright abusive before crossing paths with Chucky.

** And finally there's [[spoiler:the poor schmuck at the Good Guy factory]], who outright subverts this by being a regular old {{Mook}} who nevertheless gets the most horrifying death in the entire film.

* WouldHurtAChild: Chucky, obviously. Aside from the terrorizing Andy show, there's also a really horrifying moment in the novelization where he's burying the Tommy doll and thinks to himself about the last time he had buried something that small. "She had been a bit bigger than the doll", the narration tells us. "But not much. Not too much."

** [[spoiler:Phil Simpson]] is sold as a {{Jerkass}} ObstructiveBureaucrat to viewers to make his death feel somewhat deserved. Subverted in the TV cut, however. Nonetheless, however he's depicted in either version, he's actually ranked the least despicable compared to others in the film series.

** [[spoiler:Phil Simpson]] is sold as a {{Jerkass}} ObstructiveBureaucrat to viewers to make his death feel somewhat deserved. Subverted in the TV cut, however.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In her quest to save Andy from Chucky, [[spoiler: Kyle does save Andy but at the end becomes homeless and her car wrecked in a crash]].

* NuclearFamily: The Simpson foster family clearly are maintaining the stereotype to an extent, even though they are pointedly NotSoAboveItAll.

* AdultFear: The way Chucky first approaches Andy has some ''serious'' shock. And later, [[spoiler: Grace’s reaction to Phil’s demise. It’s heartbreaking enough to unsettle anyone who has lost a spouse, or cringe at the mere thought of something awful happening to them if they’re still alive.]]

* AdultFear: The way Chucky first approaches Andy has some ''serious'' shock.

* WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody: Chucky loses his legs but doesn't stop trying to kill Andy and Kyle.
