** At Andy's school, Miss Kettlewell reads to ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'' to the class.

** Kyle and Andy hurrying through the labyrinthine warehouse of stacked up Good Guy doll boxes could be a homage to Wendy and Danny Torrance running through the Overlook's hedge maze from the climax of ''Film/TheShining''.

* TrailOfBlood: Just as Andy and Kyle think Chucky is done for after being sent into the machine that messes up dolls, we focus on a to indicate that he's not quite done yet.

* RasputinianDeath: Chucky's [[spoiler: hand is detached, his legs are ripped off, he's doused in melted plastic and finally his head is inflated by a high-pressure air tube until it [[ blows up]].]]

* ShoutOut: Mattson joking on a rumor that someone tampered with a doll to say "Hi, I'm Chucky. I'm the Lakeshore Strangler, and I'm gonna kill you." may be a nod to [[CreepyDoll Talky Tina]] from ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' episode [[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S5E6LivingDoll "Living Doll"]].

* WouldHurtAChild: Chucky, obviously. Aside from the terrorizing Andy show, there's also a really horrifying moment in the novelization where he's burying the Tommy doll and thinks to himself about the last time he had buried something that small. "She had been a bit bigger than the doll", the narration tells us. "But not much. Not too much." There is also SadistTeacher Miss Kettlewell, who was already shown to be emotionally abusive towards Andy after Chucky frames him by writing a vulgar insult on his schoolwork to push her BerserkButton and she herself would not look out of place as those old-fashioned, disciplining {{Schoolmarm}} stereotypes before the 1980s and 90s (which the original trilogy including this film took place and when they were filmed), where those practices were declared illegal in Western countries, so Miss Kettlewell would be considered corrupt by the film's timeframe for her brutal methods. When she confronts and berates Andy for this alleged action against her, it can almost look like she was about to physically slap Andy for protesting his innocence to her or just looking at Chucky hiding in the classroom's cabinet.

** Towards the end, a security guard falls onto the conveyor line where the dolls' eyes are put in.

The second film of the ''[[Film/ChildsPlay Child's Play]]'' [[Film/ChildsPlay series]].

The Barclays may have survived the previous movie, but Karen's story about a killer doll resulted in her being taken away for "psychological evaluation". The eight-year-old Andy has been placed in the [[FosterKid foster care system]]. He is placed in the care of Phil and Joanne Simpson (CultClassic veterans Creator/GerritGraham and Creator/JennyAgutter) alongside their foster daughter Kyle (Christine Elise). What's more, however, is that's not even the ''real'' bad news: The Good Guy doll host has been rebuilt, with Charles Lee Ray's spirit living on once again... and this time, he's not playing around. Chucky soon locates Andy and the incidents start again. With no outside help, Andy must step up and face the killer doll on his own.
