** The part where Chucky is playing with a Speak & Spell and types in 'bitch' when it asks him to spell 'woman' is a reference to the scene in ''LeatherfaceTheTexasChainsawMassacreIII'' where Leatherface is playing an electronic word game and he keeps typing in 'food' when it's showing a picture of a clown.

Chucky was NEVER thwarted by people becoming suspicious of Andy\'s story because he savagely killed his victims. The only reason Kyle was able to catch up with him was because she decided to go for a swing ride...which Chucky could hardly be held accountable for.


* StupidEvil: Chucky. He had several times the chance to win if he just learned to control his bloodthirsty nature just for a day or two, like Michael Myers does. But no, he just has to kill people in the most obvious murderous ways that will make the others consider that the seemingly crazed kid might be right.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
It was clearly a case of special effects failure as the blow to the hammer was obviously meant to make her stumble out the window


** You can't actually blame Chucky for the death of Maggie the Babysitter. He ''was'' intending to murder her when he hit her in the face with a hammer, but her actual death was more the result of her tripping over while she wildly stumbled backwards, which caused her to fall out the apartment window. In other words, her own ''clumsiness'' is what technically killed her.

*** Also, the evidence room in ''Bride of Chucky'' 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}}''; additionaly, in ''Seed of Chucky'', Chucky hacks through a door with an axe exactly like Jack from ''TheShining'', but the shout-out is subverted because he can't think of anything to say.

The second film does not feature Karen Barclay, though the character survived the previous film. But her story about a killer doll resulted in her being taken away for "psychological evaluation". The 8-year-old Andy has been placed in the [[FosterKid Foster Care System]]. He is placed in the care of Phil and Joanne Simpson (Gerrit Graham and Jenny Agutter). But Charles Lee Ray has found a new doll to be his host and is still obsessed with the boy. He soon locates Andy and the incidents start again. Unfortunately the Simpsons suspect fostered teen Kyle (Christine Elise) as the culprit. Now Andy and Kyle have to face the killer with no outside help.

* VillainBall: despite being logically running out of time before he turns completely human, Chucky sure wastes a lot of time killing random people ForTheEvulz in Child's Play 2 and 3 instead of going straight to Andy [[spoiler:(and Tyler in 3)]] to transfer his soul. You would expect him to hurry and keep a low profile until he gets his new body, especially considering where revealing himself led him in the first movie, but apparently, he doesn't learn from his mistakes.
