** This is Creator/BradDourif's least favourite film in the series.
** Don Mancini said that this was his least favorite entry in the series, adding that he ran out of ideas after the second film. He elaborated further in 2013 stating that he was not pleased with the casting, particularly with Jeremy Sylvers and Dakin Matthews as Tyler and Colonel Cochrane respectively; he felt that the former was too old for the role and the latter was not the "Creator/RLeeErmey" archetype he was hoping for.

** In addition to the scene featuring Ritter, earlier drafts also included scenes such as:
*** Chucky killing Sullivan not just ForTheEvulz but making it more motivated due to Sullivan indirectly trapping him in an AndIMustScream state for eight years(Chucky's head is already rebuilt by the time the story starts).
*** Tyler, named Johnson at this point, getting picked up by two cops on the side of a road instead of him heading to the carnival security guard for help, indirectly leading the officers to getting shot in the head by Chucky.
*** Andy and De Silva losing Johnson and Chucky in a crowd of kids who have their own Good Guy dolls.
*** A much more elaborate final set-piece that only ''begins'' in the dark ride, where Chucky gets stabbed by motion-triggered metal spikes(rather than hit with a scythe as in the final version). After this, he scares a group of bullies who think he's AllPartOfTheShow by pulling a knife on them.

*** A happier ending where Andy and De Silva depart the carnival midway with Johnson, rather than Andy being taken into police custody.
