Curse of Chucky (2013)

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.")

Visible crew/equipment: When Chucky kicks over the bucket to electrocute Jill, you can just barely see something small and white sticking out from underneath the bucket, which moves when the bucket tips over. It appears to be part of the mechanism that actually "kicks" it over.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Deliberate mistake: The video feed from Jill's laptop doesn't match the angle we see her laptop in. The image should be a weird, low-angle shot with lots of space above her head given her laptop is down on her lap, but the image we see is a pristine parallel shot. Additionally, the video footage is way too high quality for a 2013 laptop webcam. (Heck, it's too high quality for a 2024 laptop webcam.)

Curse of Chucky (2013)

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.)

Curse of Chucky (2013)

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.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Nica gets in the elevator to take Chucky up to Alice, when she closes the door, her right arm is suddenly fully extended to flip the switch between cuts.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When the nanny notices that the knife is missing, right before Barb starts kissing her, the knives on the rack change when it cuts back to a closeup. Noticeably, the butcher knife from the first shot has been replaced with a much smaller standard carving knife. One of the other knives has also rotated about 20 degrees.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When the babysitter is helping the little girl find Chucky, at one point, she puts a piece of luggage on the bed and opens it up. The paper luggage tag on the bag confusingly keeps moving back and forth between the handle of the bag and the zipper, depending on the shot.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When the family is watching old home movies and Barb complains, "It's called 'baby-fat'!", Nica's mouth goes from closed to open between cuts, and her hand goes from being on her face to off between the same cut.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Revealing mistake: When Officer Stanton has Father Frank's blood splash on his face, pay close attention to the second shot of him staring with his mouth open. Some of the blood on the right side of his face appears and disappears a few times in the second shot, revealing it was added digitally and there was a flub in the rendering.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: If you look closely during the dinner scene, during the first overhead shot when the camera is rotating above the table, you can just barely tell that all the candles were burned down. They are taller through the rest of the scene. That shot was filmed last, by which point all the candles had considerably shrunk. (Confirmed in Blu-Ray commentary.)

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Nica gets into an argument with Barb about selling the house, when Nica tosses the pamphlet on the table, the way she's holding it changes instantly between cuts.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Barb shows Nica the pamphlet for the assisted living centre, after Nica says "What is this?", the way Barb is holding her hands on her knees changes instantly between cuts. The teacup in front of Barb also rotates slightly between cuts.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: Sarah's mouth goes from open to closed to open again between cuts after she takes Chucky out of the box, and Chucky says, "Hi, I'm Chucky! Wanna play?"

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Nica's mother shuts the door after the package arrives, she rotates about 45 degrees towards Nica between cuts.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When the delivery man hands Nica the gizmo, the sign for the package, it rotates 180 degrees between shots. (You can really tell from the direction the antenna is pointing.)

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Nica opens the door for the delivery man, she's still opening it, but then the shot cuts and she's no longer opening it and is instead rolling forward towards the driver in her wheelchair.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

Visible crew/equipment: When Nica rounds the corner to answer the door in the opening scene, as she gets close to the door, you can see the shadow of the cameraman on her back for a moment. (It's right after she says "Well, I'm used to that.") You can also VERY faintly see it on the door a few seconds later.
