History Film / BrideOfChucky

* GuilleHero: Upon learning who Chucky and Tiffany are, Jesse recalls Tiffany's comment from earlier about how if it's a woman's job to cook then it's a man's job to do the dishes and uses it to play to Chucky's misogynistic tendencies, with Jade quickly catching on and using the argument to drive him and Tiffany apart.

* FemaleGaze: Damien's ShirtlessScene does a good job displaying his toned chest.

** Damien says Chucky [[SelfDeprication way too 80s]] to still be considered scary.

** After Jesse and Jade learn the truth about Chucky and Tiffany, Chucky acknowledges that it's complicated, and that if it were a movie "it would take three or four sequels to do it justice".

** Tiffany was apparently Charles Lee Ray/Chucky's accomplice prior to the events of this film, however, she is never mentioned once during the first three movies.

* 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, [[WhatAnIdiot in front of a large group of people]], “I swear to God, I’ll fucking vaporize you!”

** Played straight with Tiffany’s maiden name of “Valentine”. Considering her romantic mindset, it’s more than fitting.

** "What are ya, fucking nuts?!”
** ”Who the fuck is Martha Stewart?"

* BathKick: Tiffany manages to fend off Chucky with one leg. If she did more than scream her damn head off, she might have escaped the television falling into her bath, electrocuting her.

* KillItWithFire: Jade tried to kill Tiffany by stuffing her inside the oven the latter used to bake cookies for Chucky. It doesn't kill Tiffany, but it does leave her horribly burnt.

** 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''), Beth Grant (who played Ms. Kettlewell in ''Film/ChildsPlay2''), 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).

** Damien, Tiffany's Marilyn Manson-lookalike boyfriend, tries to put on this image to impress her. In reality,
he's a dorky poser named Howard Fitzwater.

* InTheStyleOf: This film can be considered a ''Film/{{Scream}}'' film [[RecycledInSpace featuring killer dolls]], due to its {{Postmodernism}} horror film ShoutOut humor and the poster advertising the fourth installment parodying the ''Film/{{Scream 2}}'' poster.

* {{Goth}}: 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.

* JumpScare: [[spoiler: Chief Kincaid]] scares the dickens out of the dolls after they believed he was killed.

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Tiffany, twice.
** She dumps the bride doll in Chucky's playpen with the ring on its finger. Chucky uses the ring to saw his way out of the playpen.
** When talking with Jesse:
-->'''Tiffany''': "When a woman spends all day slaving over a hot stove for a man, the least he can do is the dishes."
** Later in the movie, Jesse and Jade both use this to get Chucky to provoke Tiffany, which gives Jade the opportunity to kick Tiffany in the oven and Jesse the chance to disarm Chucky.

** A story element example: this film changes the rules for how the DemonicPossesion 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.

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

* RememberTheNewGuy: Tiffany was apparently Charles Lee Ray/Chucky's accomplice prior to the events of this film.
