Continuity mistake: When Kyle first breaks the car, and Chucky flies out the window, behind the wire fence you can see loads of barrels and crates. But when Kyle smashes the car into the fence in an attempt to hit Chucky, in a wide shot you can see all the barrels and crates have fallen over, but there are less barrels and crates than in the previous shot. (00:56:15)

Continuity mistake: In two different places in the movie, Andy's foster parents have the same argument with the EXACT SAME dialogue, about Andy being too much to handle. Obviously, the director decided to try the dialogue in two different settings, and both scenes were accidentally left in.

Continuity mistake: When Chucky is pursuing Andy up the slide we first see Chucky all they way down on the slide and Andy half way up. When it cuts Chucky is suddenly at Andy's feet. (01:07:00)

Mortug

Visible crew/equipment: In the very last part of the film where a new mould of a doll face is made and it grins (obviously showing there's a sequel coming), wait a few seconds after he grins and look in the background in the right corner. You can very clearly see a stage worker go right on camera. In fact, one of the frames that shows him freezes for a little while as the credits start to roll. Only in the extended TV version.

Continuity mistake: When Andy, Phil and Joanne are driving, a big truck suddenly appears in front of their car so Phil has to urgently stop the car. Then you see the car has pretty much stopped. It then cuts from under the truck and you can see the car is still moving a few feet before stopping. (00:09:45)

Mortug

Other mistake: Many times in the film, it's obvious that Chucky is inactive and not alive, yet supposed to be. When he falls to the floor beside the photocopier, for instance, it's obvious he is off and inactive. (00:58:40)

Continuity mistake: In one wide shot as the fire trucks drive down the road, it is apparent that Kyle's red ford, which she crashed earlier, is not there. It should be partially visible in this shot, yet isn't. (00:59:20)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: At the end, when Chucky looses his hand, you can see the puppeteer's hair at the bottom left corner of the screen.

Continuity mistake: When the fire alarm has been set off, all of the children run down stairs, and at the end of the line of children, we see Andy who stops at the top of the stairs.

Continuity mistake: From when we see Phil hit the floor and break his neck, to when we see Phil again in a different shot when Joanne runs over to him, the way Phil is laying has changed. (00:45:35)

Revealing mistake: When Andy first goes down into the cellar with the electric knife, the camera pans around the cellar, then back to Andy. When Andy starts to walk away from the foot of the stairs, you can see a cameraman's shadow on his back. (00:41:35)

But in the next wide shot of the classroom, the black pencil pot has moved much further to the left of her desk. Other items on the desk, such as the sheets of paper, and books also move. (00:34:10)

Chucky: Did you miss me, Andy? I sure missed you. I told you, we were gonna be friends 'til the end. And now, it's time to play. I got a new game, sport. It's called "Hide the soul." And guess what? You're it.

More quotes from Child's Play 2

Trivia: In a 2018 interview, series producer David Kirshner revealed that of all people, Steven Spielberg was instrumental in helping get "Child's Play 2" and the later sequels made. MGM, the studio that made the original, decided not to produce a sequel when a new company president took over who disliked horror movies. Several studios started a bidding war for the "Child's Play" property, but Spielberg called Kirshner and encouraged him to go to Universal. Kirshner contacted Universal, and mentioned that Spielberg suggested them. The executives immediately made Kirshner an offer to make not only "Child's Play 2" but all future films in the series, and even accepted most of Kirshner's demands about the franchise, allowing he and co-creator Don Mancini to be in control of the series - something that likely would not have happened had another studio bought the rights in a bidding war.
