Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning when Chuckie is turning on all the toys in the office, he flies a helicopter and the string is so visible its funny. The helicopter then crashes and you can still see it. In the next shot the man looks at it and there is no string. (00:11:15)
Revealing mistake: After Whitehurst is blown up by the grenade and Andy gets to him you can see Whitehurst blinking his eyes even though he is dead. (01:10:45)
Continuity mistake: When Andy finds Whitehurst bound and gagged in the closet Andy removes the piece of clothing used to gag Whitehurst mouth. When it cuts to Whitehurst getting up the cloth is tied back around his neck. (00:19:00)
Continuity mistake: When Chucky and Andy are fighting in Andy's room Chucky has a pocket knife. When Andy kicks Chucky he drops the knife and it goes under the bed. Then if you look closely when the guy walks into the room you can see that the knife moved from under the bed to beside the chest in his room. (00:37:25)
Revealing mistake: All the snow in the forest at the end of the movie actually seems more like foam than real snow. (01:04:25)
Continuity mistake: When Andy is getting up for his hair cut you see Tyler looking at his video game. When it cuts he is suddenly looking at Andy. (00:16:40)
Continuity mistake: When Chucky is thrown down the skull mountain in the horror house, he falls face down towards the fan. But when he lands in it, he's not only face up, but the amount of damage to his face that he received earlier on has changed as well. (01:21:05)
Continuity mistake: When the helicopter has crashed you see it lying close to the wall. Later it has moved out further from the wall. (00:11:25 - 00:12:40)
Continuity mistake: When Andy falls to the floor with his tray you can see a lot of food fall on the floor. When it cuts to a wide shot all the food is gone from the floor. Also the tray has moved closer to Andy. (00:51:50)
Factual error: When the school starts the war games and Chucky switches the paint rounds for live ammo and a few people get shot, this is impossible because those types of guns have been modified so they can't fire live rounds. All Chucky would have done is taken away their ability to fire anything.
Revealing mistake: When Andy gets to his room for the first time, in the shot when he walks toward the bed to throw his bag on, have a look to the right of the door. You can see the shadow from the boom mic pole move. (00:18:20)
Continuity mistake: When Chucky is in the barber's chair,in the close up, the hair on his forehead changes between shots. There is a wisp of hair in several shots and it is combed back in another.
Continuity mistake: When Tyler is going upstairs with the package that has Chucky inside, he collides with a boy up the top of the stairs (the boy was going down) and the package is knocked from Tyler's hands and falls down the stairs. In the shots of the package rolling down the stairs, the boy with whom Tyler collided should also be seen going down the stairs. Instead he is nowhere to be seen. (00:24:15)
Continuity mistake: At the fair when Tyler runs into the tent and confronts the security guard, the guard places a cup of coffee onto a bench, then attends to Tyler. When he goes back to retrieve the cup, it is in a different position to where he originally placed it. (01:11:50)
Other mistake: Chucky cuts Andy's Achilles tendon from under his bed. Throughout the rest of the movie, Andy should have a limp from such a severe injury. However, he has no trouble walking or running in subsequent scenes, nor does he show any signs of injury.
Plot hole: No amusement park ride company would ever produce a prop scythe that was as sharp as depicted in the movie.
Other mistake: During the breakfast scene, Sgt. Botnick tells Andy he needs a trim on Wednesday, but he had just given him a haircut the previous day.
Character mistake: When Chucky is looking up the information about Andy on the computer, the word juvenile is misspelled "juvinile."
Plot hole: At some point during the war games exercise, headquarters would have eventually discovered Sgt. Botnick's body, and then they would have immediately stopped the exercise.
Plot hole: There is no way a military academy wouldn't teach their students the first rule of using a firearm: when you are given a firearm, you must always check if it is loaded and what kind of bullets it has. So there is no way Chucky could have switched the paintball shells with real bullets without someone noticing.
Answer: The public believes that the Good Guy doll that committed the murders had simply malfunctioned, which caused great negative publicity for the company. The public does not believe Andy or his mother's claims that the doll was possessed by a serial killer and was actually alive. In Child's Play 2 the company finds and reassembles the doll to prove to shareholders that the Good Guy doll is safe. This backfires and the doll is re-possessed, which leads to additional murders in that film crippling the company for 8 years.
