Trivia:

The date on Tiffany's newspaper clippings at the beginning of the movie and the date of death on Charles Lee Ray's tombstone is 9 November 1988, the release date of the first Child's Play movie.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: Tiffany keeps Chucky locked up in a playpen that rolls in and out from under a lid. However, nothing actually attaches the playpen to the lid, so when Tiffany puts a padlock onto the top of the lid to keep Chucky subdued, it technically wouldn't do anything to keep the playpen from rolling out.

Quotes:

Chucky: [looking at his knife] Huh! A true classic never goes out of style!
Tiffany: [to Chucky] That was good!

Played Mostly For Laughs And Cleavage

I saw this thing (movie) three times. Sometimes I thought it was the worst piece of garbage I've ever seen, made by Satan himself; other times I laughed my head off and thought it was one of the most entertaining-yet-stupid films I'd ever seen. Finally, the first part won out and I got rid of it....but it was fun while it lasted.

Jennifer Tilley, one of the all-time low-life-character-playing actresses in Hollywood along with Jennifer Jason-Leigh, complete with ditsy voice and humongous breasts with cleavage that meteors could get lost in, is the star here along with the demonic doll "Chucky," who never seems to go away.

So.....a few questions: How many years now have we seen this little guy and how many times does he have to die? In many movies does Tilley have to use just for another chance to flaunt her boobs?

This movie is so bad it has to be considered "camp." It's more comedy than horror, although both are there in abundance. You can't take any of this seriously.

The movie is simply incredibly sleazy and yet incredibly funny at times, and dumb, and......you name it.
