* {{Fingore}}: Blade does this pretty graphically when he lets [[spoiler: Neil Gallagher]] know what he thinks of his escape attempt.
* GoryDiscretionShot: With what Tunneler did to Carissa in the first movie. We know it involved her face, and she was ''still alive'' for a few moments after he stopped. When we see Carissa's corpse later on, her entire lower jaw is covered in blood.

** Most, if not all, of the puppets kills in III fall under this, as their Nazis. The only one who MAY not count is a morgue attendant killed while guarding Elsa's body. He's listening to a Hitler broadcast, but gets up and changes the station to German folk music in the middle of it after reading his magazine.

* ContinuityCameo: Jack Attack and Baby Oopsy Daisy from''Film/DemonicToys'' appear in a one-panel LawyerFriendlyCameo in ''Curtain Call'' #2.
* ContinuityNod: ''Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys'' makes reference to the Toulon puppets fighting the Nazis in WWII, as was the plot of part 3. Though it's a big part of the series history, this is special as it turns out to be one of the few times continuity is acknowledged in ''Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys''.

* CreepyDoll: To no ones great surprise. What's interesting is that Toulon is seen to possess quite a few non-animated puppets and dolls that are significantly more friendly-looking. However if the process of [[spoiler: Elsa's soul being placed into Leech Woman]], is anything to go by, the puppets can get much creepier after being animated.
