Factual error: The movie appears to take place in the winter but when Andy goes into his mom's room with breakfast at 6:30 in the morning it is light outside. At that time of the day it would still be dark outside.

Continuity mistake: When Andy makes his mother breakfast in bed he brings in a glass of orange juice but over the course of the scene of him and his mother talking it changes to a much lighter colour. It could have been switched with a glass of milk or cloudy lemonade but it's probably just the same orange juice that's been watered down over multiple takes.

Karen Barclay: I said talk to me, damn it. Or else I'll throw you in the fire.
Chucky: You stupid bitch! You filthy slut! I'll teach you to fuck with me!

Trivia: When Chucky is running behind Maggie, many children and child relatives of cast and crew were filmed doing the run while dressed up as Chucky, including Alex Vincent's younger sister, since it would have been impossible for the animatronic Chucky to run across screen like that. However, it is unknown which child ultimately was used in the final cut.

Question: Why was the film banned in Ireland?

Answer: Both "Child's Play" and its sequels were banned in several European countries after the murder of 2-year old James Bulger in Liverpool in 1993 by two ten-year olds. Some people felt that the killing was done in a way very similar to how Chucky is disposed of in "Child's Play 3", and blamed the whole thing on violent movies, causing bans from several governments. Interestingly enough, the UK never officially banned these movies, but most video rentals refused to carry it.
