Trivia
- There is a Killer Klowns From Outer Space movie poster on the wall in Andy's room. Killer Klowns From Outer Space was released in 1988, the same year as the original Child's Play.
- MastersFX would build seven animatronic puppets with interchangeable arms, legs, and heads so that they could mix and match as the scene called for. Several of the puppets would be "heroes" capable of multiple functions. They would also construct a few replacement heads, so that if one head went down, it was easy to make a quick swap so production wouldn't be held up while repairs were being made. The interchangeable features also paid off when the puppets would be configured for different continuities and need to be switched out quickly.
- The stand-ins for "Good Guy" dolls in this movie are the "Buddi" dolls.
- Among the accessories displayed for the Buddi2 doll is a Leprechaun costume. This is most likely a nod to the slasher film series of the same name.
- In place of the Play Pals company that manufactured the Chucky Good Guy Dolls is Kaslan Industries, which are manufacturers of the various Buddi dolls: ranging from human dolls to animal dolls, and initially unlike Play Pals did not begin primarily as a toy creative company, but rather an advanced electronics industry: developing advanced robotics such as drones, camera wear and modem software.
- Unlike the original Child's Play (1988) and it's sequels, Chucky was not possessed by the serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Chucky's human form) who transferred his soul into the doll.
- One version of the Chucky puppet, which was referred to as 'Robo-Chucky,' was entirely self-contained. The body was filled with servos to control the various body parts and the head was also completely remote controlled. Two of the 'Robo-Chucky' puppets were built. They, too, had the interchangeable features of the other puppets.
- In the original Child's Play, Chucky is created through Voodoo. In the remake, Chucky is created by a disgruntled sweat shop worker who disables all his safety parameters.
- Chucky is said to be a technologically advanced smart toy whose AI is programmed to have no limitations to learning or violence.
- Body-Count: 8 (plus the 'Chucky' Buddi doll & Barclay cat, Mickey Rooney)
- Towards the end of the credits; Chucky sings *The Buddi Song* but with more disturbing lyrics
- At the end of the credits we hear Chucky chuckling insanely
