History Film / BrideOfChucky

** The evidence room in the opening contains several pieces of evidence that are shout-outs to other movies, including Jason's hockey mask from ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' and Michael Myers' mask from ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' (which the [[Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers fifth film]] features an appearance by Matthew Walker, who played Major Ellis in ''Film/ChildsPlay3''). Jason's mask is next [[Film/TexasChainsawMassacre to]] a [[Franchise/EvilDead chainsaw]], and in another shot [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy's glove]] can be seen briefly.

* MakeoverMontage: Doll Tiffany dresses herself up using hair dye, black nail polish, makeup, adding a fake mole and even gets a "Chucky" tattoo on her breast and smokes, all to the tune of Music/{{Blondie}}’s "Call Me".

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Chucky screams in horror when [[spoiler:the seemingly dead Tiffany suddenly rises up from the bathtub and does a PeekABooCorpse on Chucky before her soul is transferred into the doll.]]

** Tiffany. She's a unique mixture of the Lone Psycho variety (being a [[AxCrazy sadistic serial killer]]) and Perky Goth variety since she's often quite bubbly and amiable when interacting with other people in a non-threatening context. Not to mention that she's a diehard romantic at heart.

* ParodyForDummies: Tiffany resurrects Chucky by using a book called ''Voodoo for Dummies'', which also contains info about the Heart of Damballa.

The fourth film of the ''[[Franchise/ChildsPlay Child's Play]]'' [[Film/ChildsPlay series]] is actually a [[SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror horror comedy]], with an emphasis on comedy.

** While in the bathtub, Tiffany was watching ''Series/MurderSheWrote'' on the television, which its episodes featured guest appearances by Jack Colvin (who played Dr. Ardmore in ''Film/ChildsPlay''), Peter Haskell (who played Mr. Sullivan in ''Film/ChildsPlay2'' and ''Film/ChildsPlay3''), Creator/BethGrant (who played Ms. Kettlewell in ''Film/ChildsPlay2'') and her husband Creator/MichaelChieffo (who played a carnival security guard in ''Film/ChildsPlay3''), Creator/JennyAgutter (who played Joanne Simpson in ''Film/ChildsPlay2''), Dakin Matthews (who played Colonel Cochrane in ''Film/ChildsPlay3'') and finally Creator/BradDourif (voice of Chucky himself).

Jason's mask is next to a [[Film/TexasChainsawMassacre chain]][[Franchise/EvilDead saw]], and in another shot [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy's glove]] can be seen briefly.

** A story element example: this film changes the rules for how the DemonicPossession chant works so that you need an amulet called the "Heart Of Damballa". In the first three movies, Chucky just has to say the magic words, yet here he acts like the amulet has always existed.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Diane and Russ, the honeymoon couple who steal Jesse and Jade's money, Jade's [[DirtyCop Uncle Warren]], and [[DirtyCop police officers Robert Bailey and Norton]].

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Diane and Russ, the honeymoon couple who steal Jesse and Jade's money, Jade's [[DirtyCop Uncle Warren]], [[DirtyCop police officers Robert Bailey and Norton]] and [[DirtyCoward David]]]].

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:David, who after immediately viewing Jesse and Jade as a BrokenPedestal pair to him after finding Warren's body in their van holds them at gunpoint and attempts to turn them in to the nearest police car to selfishly save himself. As usual for characters in the ''Child's Play'' series who initially started out as a non-{{Jerkass}} types, but then have TookALevelInJerkass when disillusioned about TheHero's innocence, David then [[AssholeVictim gets his not long after]].]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:Discovering Warren's body in his friends' trunk and his false accusation towards Jesse and Jade reveals a hypocritically despicable and cowardly self-centered side to David, showing despite initially appearing to be supportive of the couple, his trust in them and their friendship overall is ultimately proven anemic and feeble as he was quick to be disillusioned with them upon finding Warren's corpse]].

* WithFriendsLikeThese: David was initially a very supportive friend of Jesse and Jade, however, it ultimately turns out to be nothing short of very hollow once [[spoiler:he was quickly getting disillusioned about them when discovering Warren's body in the trunk and attempts to make a citizen's arrest while shortsightedly judging their sincere confusion and ignorance at his sudden change in behavior as them ObfuscatingStupidity]].

* IneffectualDeathThreat: After being disgusted by Norton's behavior and him mocking them about how much [[OnlyInItForTheMoney Warren pays him to continue harassing them]], Jade screams, in front of a large group of people, "I swear to God, I’ll fucking vaporize you!"

* IneffectualDeathThreat: After being disgusted by Norton's behavior and him mocking them about how much [[MoneyDearBoy Warren pays him to continue harassing them]], Jade screams, in front of a large group of people, "I swear to God, I’ll fucking vaporize you!"

* KickTheDog: Chucky drinks a fish bowl's water.
** “Get off my knife!”

* SoftGlass: Inverted, as breaking a ceiling mirror is enough to dismember everyone beneath it.
** Played straight when Chucky is thrown out of a car window while said car is in motion.

* VillainHasAPoint: Despite not being above thievery herself ([[spoiler: demonstrated by how she steals Officer Bailey's lighter right after killing him]]), she's rightly upset after seeing the promiscuous female con artist stealing Jade and Jesse's wallet in ''Bride''. She even rebukes the woman's behavior to Chucky.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Jade and Tiffany, respectively. Both are reasonably feminine female characters who are smitten with their male cohorts. However, Jade is a naïve, sheltered teenage orphan who is sweet and kind, if somewhat rebellious. Tiffany on the other hand is an older and more experienced woman who smokes, dons [[MsFanservice sexy]] and [[DarkIsEvil dark]] outfits with [[MakeupIsEvil heavy makeup]], and is a [[FemmeFatale seductive]] and sadistic SerialKiller.

** References to ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'' (Tiffany watches this very film while bathing, and even quotes later, ''"We belong dead"'') and ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'' (''"Why does that look so familiar?"'' as a guy gets nails in his face). The latter also doubles as a ShoutOut to ''Hellraiser'''s Andrew Robinson, who appeared in the previous installment ''Film/ChildsPlay3'' as a PsychoForHire barber [[spoiler: who ends up an AssholeVictim of Chucky after engaging in HamToHamCombat with the KillerDoll]].

* OnlyAFleshWound: Chucky's body was absolutely ''pulverized'' at the end of the last film, but Tiffany is able to stitch him back together with relative ease.

* [[OverprotectiveDad Overprotective Uncle]]: Warren, who's also quite a {{Jerkass}}, to boot.

However, Jade is a naïve, sheltered teenage orphan who is sweet and kind, if somewhat rebellious. Tiffany on the other hand is an older and more experienced woman who smokes, [[MsFanservice dons sexy outfits]], and is a [[FemmeFatale seductive]] and sadistic SerialKiller. The latter also [[MakeupIsEvil wears significantly more make-up]] and [[DarkIsEvil darker colors]] than the former.

* KickTheDog: Chucky drinks a fish's bowl water.

* KillerRabbit: Tiffany. Even in human form, she's pretty cute, mainly due to her somewhat high pitched voice.

** A story element example: this film changes the rules for how the DemonicPossession chant works, so that you need an amulet called the "Heart Of Damballa". In the first three movies, Chucky just has to say the magic words, yet here he acts the the amulet has always existed.

-->'''Tiffany''': Look at us. Don't you see? [[WhamLine We belong dead.]] Good-bye, darling...I'll SeeYouInHell.

* VillainousCrush: Tiffany has the hots for Jesse who has a muscular bod. Not that she would take him over Chucky, but the minute she hears Chucky never intended on marrying her, Tiffany locks him in a playpen and starts flirting with Jesse. But he's already with Jade, so Tiffany laments, "[[VillainessesWantHeroes All the good guys are taken.]]"

* WithFriendsLikeThese: David was initially a very supportive friend for Jesse and Jade, however, it ultimately turns out to nothing short of very hollow once [[spoiler:he was quick getting disillusioned about them when discovering Warren's body in the trunk and attempts to make a citizen's arrest while shortsightedly judging their sincere confusion and ignorance at his sudden change in behavior as them ObfuscatingStupidity]].
