History Film / ChildsPlay3

* HollywoodHeartAttack: Chucky is able to scare Colonel Cochrane to death this way by simply giving a big scare.

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Continuing the theme from the second film's novelization, Andy in the novelization of this film is shown as having some rather.... ''troubling'' thoughts, even if they are justified.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Since the story picks up eight years after 1990's ''Film/ChildsPlay2'', it does technically make it take place in the year 1998 (thus making the release date of 1998's ''Film/BrideOfChucky'' match up seamlessly as it takes place roughly a month after the events of ''3'').

* CloudCuckoolander: Sgt. Botnick, the MilitarySchool's barber, is a vaguely unsettling variant of this.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Andy goes from foster home to foster home and eventually to a military school because no one believes him about Chucky. He is also suspected in many of the murders that occur.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Damballa's lightning misses Chucky and Tyler for some reason when Chucky attempts the soul transfer ritual in the climax, buying Andy time to save Tyler.

* PunishmentDetail: Shelton makes Whitehurst shine his shoes as punishment for... something. It's never quite made clear what.
* ResetButton: Because Chucky has been reincarnated in a new doll body, the rules binding his transfer to a new body have been reset as he is no longer bound to transfer his soul into Andy. [[AxCrazy Being]] [[StupidEvil Chucky]], he of course binds himself to the first young boy he meets. It's not made easier that Chucky enrolled himself into a boy inside a heavily monitored military school where the boy is frequently thrown back and forth by his superiors.

* IronicEcho: Botnik's CatchPhrase is "Presto, you're bald!" [[spoiler:When Chucky kills him, he says "Presto, you're dead!]]

** [[spoiler:They even shared the same fate of being shot to death by their own troops (well, troops for the TropeNamer, classmates for Shelton)]].

* TakeYourTime: Chucky wastes an entire ''seven minutes'' playing with Sullivan before killing him.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Tyler is charmed by Chucky initially, just like Andy before him.

* TwentyMinutuesIntoTheFuture: Since the story picks up eight years after 1990's ''Film/ChildsPlay2'', it does technically make it take place in the year 1998 (thus making the release date of 1998's ''Film/BrideOfChucky'' match up seamlessly as it takes place roughly a month after the events of ''3'').

* DeadlyRotaryFan: Andy throws Chucky into an industrial-sized fan at the end [[NoOSHACompliance which is completely uncovered despite being at a carnival]]. Doubles as Chucky's DisneyVillianDeath.

Andy Barclay (Justin Whalin) is now 16 years old. He has apparently lost contact with Kyle and has been through several foster homes. He failed to adapt and is currently attending a MilitarySchool. He becomes enemies with [[TheNeidermeyer Lieutenant Colonel]] [[JerkJock Brett]] [[SociopathicSoldier C.]] [[TheBully Shelton]] (Creator/TravisFine), a high-ranking cadet who is notorious for bullying weaker recruits, while developing an attraction to female student Kristen De Silva (Creator/PerreyReeves). Meanwhile, the old "Good Guy" doll line is being revived for a new generation. Charles Lee Ray immediately possesses one and goes in search of Andy again, which spells doom for the military school.

* ChekhovsSkill: Andy learning how to aim a gun.

* WelcomeToHell: Whitehurst to Andy upon his arrival at Kent.

* NoOSHACompliance: The amusement park at the end has a giant, uncovered fan and a giant Grim Reaper that swings a real blade capable of chopping off half of Chucky's face.

* AccidentalMurder: Colonel Cochran suffered a fatal heart attack before Chucky even got a chance to stab him.
-->'''Chucky:''' Oh, you've gotta be fucking kidding me...

* ThisMeansWar: Chucky says this word for word after [[SillyReasonForWar having lipstick smeared around his mouth]].

The third film of the ''[[Film/ChildsPlay Child's Play]]'' [[Film/ChildsPlay series.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: Shelton falls somewhere between this and AdaptationalIntelligence (or lack thereof), as the novelization portrays him as a good deal less competent than the film version (though still just as antagonistic).

* DeadlyRotaryFan: Andy throws Chucky into an industrial-sized fan at the end.
