Other mistake: Andy and his friends are watching "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" in one scene. However, the scenes they watch are completely out of order compared to the actual film.
Deliberate mistake: In the handyman's room, we see he has cameras secretly set up in the various apartments to spy on neighbors. But the placement of the camera spying on Mrs. Norris' dining room is kind-of ridiculous. It appears to be sitting out in the open on her dining room table. Sure, the handyman is a pervert, but there's no way he could get a camera onto such a spot without it being totally obvious.
Plot hole: Karen forbids her son from playing with Chucky, because he's spending too much time with it on top of it scaring the cat, and locks it up in a cabinet. The cabinet ends up broken (Chucky broke it but she does not know), the cat conveniently disappears (Chucky killed it but she does not know), but the mother is totally cool about it, the plot point is forgotten and Andy faces no punishment or questioning for it. Any mother would be alarmed and would make a big deal of it possibly even throwing the doll away (she does not care, she did not pay for it), but that sort of drama is delayed until much later in the movie, for no internal reason.
Plot hole: The Vietnamese sweatshop is structured in a way that makes no real sense: the workers seem to be randomly in charge of everything and nothing instead of having specialized, streamlined tasks. Already makes no sense that a low level employee would be able to reprogram a state of the art AI chip, it makes even less sense from a production standpoint that he'd also be given a disassembled doll, dress it, etc.
Factual error: Chucky murders his first (human) victim as he was taking down the Christmas lights, making him fall in the watermelon patch in front of his house. Shane must have an uncanny green thumb, to be able to have fully grown watermelons in winter.
Deliberate mistake: When the creepy building handyman falls onto the table-saw, it slices what appears to be his leg (or possibly arm) clean off. Except the saw-blade wasn't big enough to go right through his entire thigh (or upper arm for that matter), though... it only sticks up a few inches.
Plot hole: Since the "Buddi" doll is designed simply to be a child's toy, able at most to carry items like a book or a banana, and Chucky in this movie is not a supernatural creature, it's hard to explain how it is strong enough to, for instance, carry the heavy watermelon across town and lift it in position. Even if his safety locks have been removed, a toy designed to be in the crib with toddlers wouldn't be built with the kind of lifting power shown here (we also see it assembled and it does not have a terminator skeleton or something like that, it's mostly plastic).
Character mistake: When Detective Mike walked past 13-year-old Andy and his friends (depicted as neighborhood children or young teens), he said, "Little f-ing millennials." Millennials were born between 1981 - 1996, so their current ages would be 26 - 41 (or about three years younger when the movie was made). Andy and his friends would fall under Generation Z ("Zoomers"), born between 1997 - 2012 (current ages 10 - 25 or 3 years younger when the movie was made). (00:25:52)
Continuity mistake: Some shots (mostly front) of Andy sitting on the steps show him centered but other shots (mostly side) show him off-center, closer to the banister. (00:22:57 - 00:23:21)
Continuity mistake: When Chucky is controlling the car with the police officer's mother inside of it, pay attention when she says the line "You hobbit, mother****er!" In that shot, she doesn't have her seatbelt on. However, both before and after this shot, she has her seatbelt on. (It doesn't get taken off until a few shots later).
Continuity mistake: Andy just locked his friends out of the Zed Mart. In the overhead shot the cleaver is in the middle of the doormat section, while in the close-up it's across the two sections of the floor. (01:16:30)
Factual error: After Detective Mike looked at Shane's body, the camera shifted to an aerial view of the city, which showed Fall foliage but it was after Christmas, when the trees in Chicago would have already shed their leaves. (00:40:50)
Continuity mistake: Andy has his jacket unzipped over a hoodie when he is walking home. When the camera shifts, Andy's jacket is zipped. When Andy opens the door to get into his apartment, he does not have his jacket or hoodie on and does not appear to be carrying them or his backpack. (00:32:35)
Continuity mistake: Front views of Andy throwing stones at the beer bottles on the garbage can show the garbage can angled to his right (which would be in the lower left-hand side of the screen). In rear views of Andy, the side of the garbage can is barely visible behind his right arm/shoulder, which would place the garbage can directly in front of him, not angled or in the path of the stones he threw toward and hit the can. (00:19:35)
Continuity mistake: When Andy is walking home, it isn't raining but an overhead view a second later shows him walking on wet pavement. When Andy gets inside the apartment building, he isn't wet. (00:09:08)
Continuity mistake: The first view of the smashed TV screen (by Andy) is different after a camera shift - instead of large glass panels covering most of the screen, there is only one section in the lower right-hand corner. (01:08:38)
Continuity mistake: After setting his mother free from the forklift, Andy grabs the knife and stabs Chucky in his power core, shutting him down. Moments later Chucky lunges towards him only to be shot by Detective Norris and the hole is no longer in his outfit. (01:21:03 - 01:21:44)
Continuity mistake: Having dinner at the mom of Detective Mike's, look at Mike's hand when she gets up saying "That's all." His hand is suddenly raised, eating, while they were both down and empty in the previous shot. Similarly a moment later Andy gives a nervous look to the gift, fork vertical - but he's eating in the following shot. (00:51:20)
Continuity mistake: After giftwrapping the melon head, Andy and friends stumble upon his mom. When she asks "What is that?" her necklace pendant is stuck into the right part of the blouse. When she asks "Present? For who?" the necklace is placed differently. (00:43:25)
Continuity mistake: Andy returns home a little early and opens the door finding mom doing tonsil hockey with a dude named Shane. The multicolored wrapping in her hand switches instantly from right to left hand as she realises her kid is there. (00:09:20)
Suggested correction: Actually this is simply a movie convention. When kids watch films onscreen, they deliberately only show the best bits of the film as oppose to just playing the film normally. Otherwise it would look dull and pointless.

Explaining why a mistake exists doesn't invalidate them. Skipping time or jump cuts is one thing, showing scenes from a movie kids are watching out of order, without a valid in-film reason, is still a mistake.

Technically no.

The issue isn't that they aren't showing the whole movie. They did the right thing by just showing clips, since it illustrates a passage of time. The issue is that the clips they show are all out of order. (You'll see one from the ending of the movie, then one from the beginning, then another from the ending, then one from the middle, etc.) They could have just as easily shown a couple clips in order from throughout the film, and it would have worked, but they chose not to for some bizarre reason.
