Trivia: The original "Child's Play/Chucky" film series is still in production at Universal (with a planned TV series in the works), as Universal had acquired the franchise rights after MGM released the original film. However, as MGM still technically owns the original film, they were allowed to remake it, so long as it included no references to any of the sequels, as the sequels belong to Universal. Various scenes and portions of the script had to be rewritten several times, as they were found to be too close to scenes from the Universal sequels.

Trivia: "Child's Play" creator Don Mancini has no involvement in this remake, and has openly stated that he's against it, as the original movie series is still going. Several other key cast and crew members from the original series have also expressed their disapproval of the film.

Trivia: The line of dolls in the film are called "BUDDi", with the lowercase "i" being a reference to the doll's high-tech nature. The name "BUDDi" is also a reference to the "My Buddy" doll-line from the 80's, which were one of the inspirations for Chucky's design in the original film.
