Trivia:

Also in the evidence room in the beginning of the movie, there is "The Crate" from the movie "Creepshow"

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:

Tiffany: Oh, Chucky, have you got a rubber?
Chucky: Tiff?
Tiffany: Yes, Chucky?
Chucky: Look at me! I'm all rubber!
Tiffany: Oh. I thought you were plastic.

Soundtrack:

So Wrong

tounge-in-cheek

From the opening with certain movie killers masks, glove-knife, and chainsaw, to the final scene which looks like it could have been straight from "It's Alive", this movie was camp all the way.

Good point: They didn't bring back Andy. New characters and new "homes" for Chuck and Tiff brought a sense of freshness.

Bad point: John Ritter. Need I say more? (Although he DOES make a pretty good Pinhead)

If you're looking for "The Shining" or the original "Psycjo", spend a couple of bucks and rent them. If you want a good laugh mixed in with some gore, then spend the money here. Just don't take your Siskel & Ebert mindset with you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie for what it is--self-depreciating schlock.
