Curse of Chucky

Continuity mistake: When Barb first enters the house, Father Frank walks up beside her. The shot cuts. Barb steps onto the spot of blood, and the camera pans up. Father Frank walks up beside her a second time.

Continuity mistake: When Nica finds Ian asleep next to Chucky and shuts off the projector, she puts her right hand against her chin. It then cuts to an over-the-shoulder shot of Ian. When it cuts back to Nica, her left hand is against her chin. (You can tell in the over-the-shoulder shot that she didn't move at all, and thus didn't switch hands.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Nica is wheeled out of the courtroom, when it cuts to the wideshot, suddenly she has moved back about 10 feet between cuts and is wheeled through the same area a second time.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When we see Sarah's death, Chucky in the background has the "stitched" face. However, this makes no sense as when this happened, he would have had the regular doll face still.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the flashback, when Charles pulls the knife out, Sarah goes from having her mouth open to having her teeth gritted instantly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: After the wheelchair smashes on the ground, its pieces and the banister pieces change positions next time we see them.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Nica smashes the car window, there's still a lot of glass around the frame. It all vanishes in the next shot.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Barb pulls the first few bits of skin off Chucky's face, it's very noticeable when they switch from one Chucky prop-head to the next. Suddenly, the stitching (especially on his lip) has much more detail, and some of the imperfections vanish.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Barb notices the "loose skin" on Chucky's face, it just sort of appears between cuts. The implication was that it came loose over the film but up until that very shot, his face looked pristine.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Barb puts Chucky down in the attic, when the rocking horse scares her, Chucky's face goes from being in the shadows to illuminated instantly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: Right after Nica and Barg get into an argument over the doll, Nica's feet go from together to about 6" apart. The character is in a wheelchair and can't move her legs, so this makes no sense.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: After Nica gets into an argument with Barb over the doll, Nica pulls out her phone and then slams it down into her lap. Immediately in the next shot, the phone vanishes.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Chucky kicks the bucket over, not only can you see the water hit Jill's feet twice between cuts. And both times, the way it hits her feet is different, revealing it's two different takes. (The water is more forceful the first time, while the second it's a bit "softer.")

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Barb and Jill are flirting over a video call, the second time Barb tries to signal Jill that she thinks Alice is up, her hand gets much closer to the laptop between cuts. (In the first shot, it's up near her shoulder; in the second, it's right over the laptop keyboard.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Nica and Barb are talking after Alice gets Chucky back, there are several minor back-to-back continuity errors as it cuts between Nica's closeup and the side shot with both women. Nica's mouth goes from closed to open and back a few times. Nica's arms aren't folded, then it cuts to the side shot, then it cuts back and they're folded. (We would have seen her move to fold them in the side shot.) And the direction she's facing changes subtly at least once.

More quotes from Curse of Chucky

Trivia: Had the longest timegap between sequels, coming out nine years after the previous film, "Seed of Chucky." The long wait was in part because a few years after "Seed" was released, several attempts were made to remake/reboot the series, given the rising popularity of 80's slasher-film reboots. Despite several false starts, the reboot never happened. Eventually, series creator Don Mancini opted to instead perform a "tonal reboot" of the series with this film - by setting it in the same "universe" as the other movies, but shifting the focus back to classic horror and delivering a film more tonally similar to the original 1988 film. Mancini wanted to please fans, who expressed interest in seeing another "scary" Chucky movie after the previous two films had become increasingly comedic in tone.
