Watch the "Bride of Chucky" commentary where Don Mancini, the creator and writer of all the Child's Play films, mentions that Tiffany's (Chucky's bride) death in the bathtub was actually meant for Aunt Maggie in part one.

Update

Writer, Don Mancini, stated in an interview that his original script toyed with the audience a bit longer, making them wonder if young Andy was the killer rather than Chucky. This idea was used by Kevin Tenney in "Pinocchio's Revenge" (1996).

Update

The name of the TV channel announcing the death of Charles Lee Ray at the beginning of the movie is W-DOL.

Thanks to Steven Murray

Update

All of Brad Dourif's voice over work for Chucky was recorded in advance so they could match up Chucky's mouth with the words. Because of this, Brad Dourif rarely ever appeared on set during the "doll" scenes. Instead, recordings of his voice would be played back for Alex Vincent to go by.
