Continuity mistake: In Karen's bedroom, when Chucky is shot in the leg he flies near the window, and there is a dresser table right beside the window. But minutes earlier, when Mike entered the room and the camera panned around the room, the dresser table was a couple of feet away from the window. (01:13:30 - 01:14:15)

Continuity mistake: When Dolores and Selena are having their first meal at the old house, in a back shot we see Selena pour herself a drink, take a sip, then place it down and then proceed to smoke her cigarette.
