Continuity mistake: Early in the film when the Chucky doll is being rebuilt, he is put together limb by limb and has a hard plastic body. When the doll is complete and seen in later scenes throughout the movie he has floppy arms and legs which would indicate a stuffed soft body doll. The good guy doll was shown as a soft body doll several times in the first film, like when Maggie picks him up from from in front of the TV by his arm. (00:03:10 - 00:15:30)

Visible crew/equipment: When Mattson and his boss enter the room where the Chucky doll is being made, at the beginning, there is a boom mike reflected in the glass panel next to the door, as they enter the room. (00:04:45)

Continuity mistake: Chucky's eyes are made so that they blink and move. However, in the scene where the business man is stuffing Chucky into the trunk of his car, Chucky's face is different because his eyes are drawn onto his face. The same thing happens with his mouth throughout the movie. (00:14:35)

Hamster

Audio problem: When Mattson throws Chucky into the back of the trunk, he tries to close the trunk. However, the trunk won't close because it hits Chucky. You can barely hear any sound when the trunk bumps into Chucky. When it cuts to Mattson trying again, you can hear a bumping sound. (00:14:35)

Mortug

Chucky: Did you miss me, Andy? I sure missed you. I told you, we were gonna be friends 'til the end. And now, it's time to play. I got a new game, sport. It's called "Hide the soul." And guess what? You're it.

More quotes from Child's Play 2

Trivia: In a 2018 interview, series producer David Kirshner revealed that of all people, Steven Spielberg was instrumental in helping get "Child's Play 2" and the later sequels made. MGM, the studio that made the original, decided not to produce a sequel when a new company president took over who disliked horror movies. Several studios started a bidding war for the "Child's Play" property, but Spielberg called Kirshner and encouraged him to go to Universal. Kirshner contacted Universal, and mentioned that Spielberg suggested them. The executives immediately made Kirshner an offer to make not only "Child's Play 2" but all future films in the series, and even accepted most of Kirshner's demands about the franchise, allowing he and co-creator Don Mancini to be in control of the series - something that likely would not have happened had another studio bought the rights in a bidding war.
