Curse of Chucky (2013)
Trivia: Officer Stanton being killed by Tiffany is an almost exact duplicate of the opening scene of "Bride of Chucky." The dialogue he says on the phone is exactly the same dialogue that Officer Bailey says. Tiffany dispatches both men in the same way. Chucky is inside a black plastic bag in both scenes, and both scenes even have a steely blue due to the lighting.

Curse of Chucky (2013)
Trivia: The first film in the franchise where Chucky (or a Chucky duplicate) is not killed during the climax. Up until this point, every film followed the classic slasher trope of the killer dying and being resurrected in the next movie. (Technically, a Chucky is shot but not killed in a post-credits scene).

Curse of Chucky (2013)
Trivia: Summer H. Howell, the little girl who plays Alice, had to be filmed separately from the "stitched up Chucky" in the final scene because she was too scared of his creepy, scarred face. Her lines and Chucky's lines were shot separately, and then simple split-screen effects were used to put them together.

Curse of Chucky (2013)
Trivia: Chucky voice actor Brad Dourif suggested his daughter Fiona to series creator Don Mancini for a role. She originally auditioned for the part of Barb, but Mancini felt she would be a perfect lead. However, he then became incredibly apprehensive to cast her, as he worried it might feel too much like stunt-casting. He also worried it would seem like he was trying to, as he put it, "kiss Brad's ass by casting his daughter." Mancini eventually went with his gut feeling and cast her.

Curse of Chucky (2013)
Trivia: The lead character is played by Fiona Dourif, daughter of Chucky voice-actor Brad Dourif. She has jokingly referred to herself as the "real 'Seed of Chucky'", and admitted that she exploited the fact that her father voiced Chucky to get dates with cute boys in high school, since it made her one of the "cool kids." But as happy as she was to be part of the franchise, her father Brad was even happier - he often proclaimed that Fiona's participation was the most exciting part of the film for him.

Chucky (2021)
Revealing mistake: The gun that Wendall Wilkins pulls on the kids during the climax of the episode is noticeably a fake prop gun. If you look, you can tell that the barrel is not hollow, but is just a solid piece with a circular indent on the end. It's most noticeable when he says "Hail, Damballa!"

Chucky (2021)
Trivia: The book on exorcisms is attributed to an author named "Richard Darling." This is a slightly altered version of Rick Little Darling, the name of the property master who works on the series.

Child's Play 3 (1991)
Trivia: Chucky's famous/infamous line "Don't fuck with the Chuck!", was actually written by famed comedy writer Bruce Vilanch. Director Jack Bender is friends with Vilanch and asked him for some ideas for potential Chucky one-liners during pre-production.

Chucky (2021)

Fallout (2024)
Trivia: Cooper/The Ghoul makes a comment about being "sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time" at one point during the first season. This is a reference to the video games, which feature dozens and dozens of side-quests that players can complete, and often can distract the player from the main narrative.

Serial Mom (1994)
Trivia: Kathleen Turner almost didn't take the lead role because she finds gory movies too disturbing. At first she said she would only be in the film if the violence was portrayed cartoonishly and unrealistically. Director John Waters convinced her that the violence needed to be portrayed very realistically, because that would be even funnier... the absurdity of so much twisted violence coming out of a seemingly perfect sitcom-style housewife. Turner eventually agreed with Waters and signed on.

Trivia: Director John Waters considers this the best film (and his personal favorite) that he's ever made.

Man's Best Friend (1993)
Trivia: When Max is chasing the cat, the scene was accomplished by training the cat and dog together so they'd be comfortable. The cat was being trained to run towards a toy, while the dog was trained to run towards a trainer making hand signals a short distance away from the cat-toy. If you pay very close attention, there's actually one point in the scene where you can tell that they're running in ever-so-slightly different directions.

Man's Best Friend (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Max chases the cat up the tree, in the close-up where you see Max's claws grow, the tree bark texture is different from the shots before and after.

Fallout (2024)
Trivia: Two characters say the line "War... war never changes." This is an iconic line from the video game series.

Trivia: The code that Hank enters ("101097") is a reference to the original "Fallout" video game, which was released on October 10th (10/10) in the year 1997 (97).
