Child's Play

Character mistake: When Detective Mike walked past 13-year-old Andy and his friends (depicted as neighborhood children or young teens), he said, "Little f-ing millennials." Millennials were born between 1981 - 1996, so their current ages would be 26 - 41 (or about three years younger when the movie was made). Andy and his friends would fall under Generation Z ("Zoomers"), born between 1997 - 2012 (current ages 10 - 25 or 3 years younger when the movie was made). (00:25:52)

Factual error: Chucky murders his first (human) victim as he was taking down the Christmas lights, making him fall in the watermelon patch in front of his house. Shane must have an uncanny green thumb, to be able to have fully grown watermelons in winter.

Trivia: The original "Child's Play/Chucky" film series is still in production at Universal (with a planned TV series in the works), as Universal had acquired the franchise rights after MGM released the original film. However, as MGM still technically owns the original film, they were allowed to remake it, so long as it included no references to any of the sequels, as the sequels belong to Universal. Various scenes and portions of the script had to be rewritten several times, as they were found to be too close to scenes from the Universal sequels.
