Revealing mistake: In the widescreen Blu-Ray, when Gallagher dies, his head twists to the side. When this happens, you can see that Blade's arm, which is hooked into his cheek, isn't attached to anything. His body isn't there. Likely, it was easier for them to just stick one of his arms into the actor's mouth than to attach the whole puppet. (The film was shot for video with the intention of being cropped down to fullscreen. The Blu-Ray presents the original, uncropped widescreen image, causing this mistake.)

Continuity mistake: When Blade gets on the elevator in the beginning, pay attention to the legs of the woman in the elevator. When she gets on, she is wearing black stockings. When she gets off, she is wearing cream-colored stockings. The rest of her clothes that are visible are the same (same shoes, skirt, etc.), as is the wardrobe of the man who gets on and off with her, so it's meant to be the same woman. (There's also no indication that the elevator made any stops on the way up).

Trivia: "Puppet Master" was originally intended to be a theatrical release. However, series creator Charles Band found that he was making more money in the video market than in theaters, so the film was instead released direct-to-video. It was a huge hit for Band, leading to ten official sequels, a non-canonical spin-off (Puppet Master VS Demonic Toys) and a reboot. (The Littlest Reich).

Trivia: Originally, an early version of the puppet "Six Shooter" was intended to be included in the film. The puppet would have been a six-armed ninja. Series creator Charles Band liked the idea of a puppet with six arms, and reused the idea later on in the third film, which introduced "Six Shooter."
