* PlayingAgainstType: Hannah Spearritt had just been known for playing a ditzier version of herself in various Music/SClub7 media, and a role in the family-friendly ''Film/AgentCodyBanks 2''. The OnlySaneMan in a horror movie was different.


Added DiffLines:

** Early drafts would open with Glen having a nightmare of Chucky killing Jesse and Jade from the previous film.
** Jennifer Tilly was originally written to be much more unlikable and cynical to the other characters.
** When Don Mancini's original script was rejected, he wrote another story called 'Chucky Goes Psycho'; in which Chucky and Tiffany have to stay at the Bates Motel after escaping from the cemetery, kill someone and Tiffany is killed by teenagers while trying to dispose of the body. The rest of the plot would be Chucky hunting the teenagers down like ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer''.

* ActorAllusion:
** Creator/JohnWaters plays a photographer, just like the titular character of his film ''Film/{{Pecker}}''. His death, involving acid getting splashed on his face, is similar to what happens to Dawn Davenport in his film ''Film/FemaleTrouble'', where she gets splashed with acid, scarring her face. Unlike Waters' character, Dawn survives.
** Jennifer Tilly's lobbying for the part of the Virgin Mary echoes a scene from a ChristmasEpisode of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. In the episode, her character, Bonnie Swanson, plays the part of Mary in a play about the nativity.



* FakeAmerican: In-universe. Jason Flemyng plays himself putting on an American accent for the ''Chucky'' movie he's starring in. When they stop filming, he reverts to his natural English accent.
