Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe knife Charles Lee Ray uses during the flashback sequence is the same knife Chucky uses throughout the first Child's Play movie.

- Quotes
Chucky: 25 years. Since then a lot of families have come and gone; the Barclays, the Kincaids, the Tillys. But you know Nica, your family was always my favorite. And now, you're the last one standing... So to speak!
[laughs manically, then glares down at Nica]
Chucky: You know, you remind me a lot of Andy Barclay. He was a whiney little bitch just like you.
Nica: Did you kill him too?
Chucky: More or less. I killed his childhood. And the truth is, I killed you 25 years ago too, haven't I Nica? This isn't living. You can't call *this* living; you've just been on life support. Time to pull the fucking plug!
Nica: [lifts her head up, looking at him] So , you never actually killed Andy Barclay, did you?
Chucky: [steps back some] What?
Nica: You know it's called Completion Anxiety. It's very common in males... You are a male, aren't you?
Chucky: [glares] Oh, I'm gonna kill you slow!
Nica: [laughs] Oh now I get it! 25 years, must be the slowest murder in history! I mean, what have you been waiting for? A sign from God?
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene after the credits.
- Alternate versionsIn the unrated version of Curse of Chucky the Barb death scene is more gory. (You see Chucky's knife stab into her eye). In the rated version of Curse, we see the back of Barb's head, and see Chucky's body lean forward and then hear her scream.
- ConnectionsEdited from Child's Play (1988)
For nearly the entire movie, the script pretends that the previous two movies never existed. Serial killer Charles Lee Ray's persona is trapped in the ginger Good Guys doll named Chucky and he arrives, in a parcel, at the doorstep of the wheelchair-bound Nica and her mother. The next morning, Nica finds her mother dead in a pool of blood and Chucky inexplicably pops up at various places around the house. While Nica's family gathers together, and her young niece Alice falls in love with the Chucky doll, we slowly discover Charles Lee Ray's connection to these people and his diabolical plan to return in human shape. "Curse of Chucky" is never really innovative or even surprising, but that doesn't matter because it's efficient. In spite of being a straight-to-video production, it's much more suspenseful and atmospheric than any of its predecessors. Chucky spits out a lot less comical monologues (but more often reverts to this classic Good Guys quotes like "I like to be hugged" and "I'll be your friend till the end") and the murders are more brutal and horrific than before. The script is quite incoherent near the end, but it was definitely courageous and satisfying (for the fans of the very first film) to clear up a few enigmas around Charles Lee Ray's persona. And plus, it was the ideal occasion to bring Brad Dourif back on the screen entirely rather than just his voice. Moreover, the film also stars his talented and ravishing daughter Fiona in one of her first lead roles. Chucky is a horror symbol again, so even if imperfect, I recommend this flick!
