Continuity mistake: When Sam is at her apartment at the beginning of the film and is talking to Quinn before going to find Tara at the party, pay attention to Sam's hair. There are multiple times with the amount of hair that is in front of or behind her shoulders changes as it cuts back and forth between her and Quinn throughout the scene.

Continuity mistake: When Sam returns to her apartment at the beginning of the film, she is carrying two envelopes. When she hears the noise and turns around scared, she goes from holding the envelopes in just her left hand, down by her waist, to suddenly holding them with both hands up by her chest between cuts.

Audio problem: When Sam returns to her apartment, we see that she's installed four separate locks on her door due to her fear. However, when she enters and relocks all the locks, you hear her re-locking six locks.

Audio problem: When Jason dies, he says the line, "But we have to finish the movie." If you pay attention, his mouth isn't moving for the word "but."

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Jason collapses after being stabbed, the pictures on the refrigerator behind him change slightly between edits, as it cuts to a wideshot. It happens quickly, so you have to pay close attention. (Like some of them shifted during the different takes as he slid down.)

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Jason is getting stabbed to death, there's a quick 2-second shot showing him being stabbed repeatedly in the stomach, with part of his intestines hanging out. But if you pay close attention, there's no actual damage occurring with any of the stabs, revealing it's just an effect. Likely either a collapsible prop knife or a CGI knife being stabbed into him.

Continuity mistake: After Jason washes his hands, his phone rings. In the wide shot, his phone is about 3" from the edge of the counter. In the closeup, the phone is actually hanging about 1" over the counter.

Continuity mistake: When Jason is looking at Professor Crane's dead body, the amount and pattern of the blood on the front of her dress, and the position of her head changes slightly between the two shots we see her. There is significantly more blood in the second shot, and her head is tilted down a bit more.

Continuity mistake: When Professor Crane is killed, the amount and pattern of the blood dripping from her mouth and down her chin changes subtly between shots, at one point.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Professor Crane is in the alley and the Ghostface voice says "No, it's not," she's scared by four people in Halloween costumes behind her. The way they're standing and walking by changes between shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When professor Crane is texting her date, at one point she reaches over and takes a quick drink in a wide shot. The editing is awkward. In the closeup, both of her hands are on her phone. Then, in the next shot, suddenly her left hand is reaching towards her drink. Then she starts to move her hand back towards her phone, but it cuts again, and she's instantly holding the phone in the EXACT same way as before. It looks like the shot of her taking a drink was cut in to break up the phone shot.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Professor Crane picks up her phone for the first time at the beginning of the film, the way she's holding it in her hands changes slightly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, when Professor Crane's phone first buzzes, her right hand goes from near the right side of her face to down over her left shoulder instantly between cuts.

Trivia: When the therapist is watching TV shortly before he is killed, there's a VHS box sitting next to his TV labeled "Dead Meat." This is a reference to the YouTube channel "Dead Meat," in which husband and wife duo James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca do reviews and podcasts on horror movies and media. They're friends with the directors and also had a cameo in "Scream (2022)."

Trivia: Bill Moseley got the role of Chop-Top because he made a parody short film of the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Moseley's film was called "The Texas Chainsaw Manicure". Series co-creator Tobe Hooper saw the short and loved it so much that he cast Moseley in a major part when "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" went into production.

Trivia: Tobe Hooper played up the black comedy in this sequel as he felt that all the dark humor in the original had been ignored by audiences due to the film's shocking content. He wanted to make sure that audiences knew the film was meant to be scary AND funny.

Trivia: Many ideas from the original script that were cut were later recycled into the various sequels. Series creator Don Mancini has stated that if he comes up with a good scene that doesn't quite fit one Chucky movie, he always keeps it written down because there's a very good chance it could be used in a later sequel.

Trivia: In an eerie example of life sort of imitating art, Ed Gale, an actor with dwarfism who doubled as Chucky in a couple of shots in the first few of the "Child's Play" movies (in addition to playing the titular character in "Howard the Duck"), was caught by an online sex predator hunting group in a sting operation in 2023.

Trivia: Chris Sarandon was supposed to be top-billed, but insisted that Catherine Hicks instead be given top billing, despite being a smaller "name," as she was the lead character and he admired her performance.

TedStixon

Trivia: The actor in the full-sized Chucky suit on the commercial was John Franklin, perhaps best known for playing Isaac in the original "Children of the Corn." Isaac often portrayed younger or smaller-statured "suit" characters despite being an adult due to a growth-hormone deficiency that resulted in him being shorter than average. (And having a very young-looking face.)
