Child's Play (1988)

After Chucky became alive, his red overall buttons appear and disappear throughout the film.

At the end of the movie when Chucky's headless body jumps on the 2nd cop, he knocks over a basket on top of the TV and it falls to the floor. In the next shot the basket is back on top of the TV. -Thanks to Jeff

The chant is different at the end than in the beginning.

When Andy is carrying breakfast the glass on the tray contains orange juice. Later in the scene the glass contains milk.

Andy places Chucky in a rocking chair that is missing a runner on one side; minutes later, chucky is gone and the chair is rocking, both runners intact.

When Chucky is trying to get out of the fire place, before he is set on fire, you can see a hand pushing him into the fence.

In the scene where Andy's Aunt Maggie is sitting on the couch and Chucky appears to run by; look closely, you can see it's not Chucky, it is a person. -Thanks to Courtney Griffith

At the second killing you see a person's hand by the door. -Thanks to Andrew

After Catherine Hick's (Karen Barclay) character shoots off Chucky's head with the pistol she's holding, for a moment when Chucky's walking headless, you can see the rod sticking out from the side of his right leg and some sort of mechanism between the crotch of his charred up pants. -Thanks to Kyle

The collar of Karen's coat changes between shots when she is talking to Andy outside his school. -Thanks to Steven Murray

Chucky mispronounces the French words of the voodoo chant. Instead of saying "Pouvoir des morts" (power of the dead), he says "poivre de le morte" (pepper of the dead) with quite a few spelling mistakes. -Thanks to Steven Murray

In the police station, when Andy is being interrogated by the detective, Andy smacks Chucky because he won't talk and his hair is in disarray. In the next shot his hair is slicked down. -Thanks to Steven Murray

When Chucky finds the voodoo doll, his voodoo teacher is wearing a tan shirt which changes to white, and then back again between shots, as he uses the doll to break his limbs before killing him. -Thanks to Steven Murray

When Karen Barclay is looking at the Good Guy box where it says "Batteries Included", it says "Play Partners Toys" in the bottom left-hand corner. The company that produces the Good Guy dolls is called "Play Pals Toys", not Play Partners. -Thanks to Steven Murray

When the Voodoo man is dying and he is telling Karen how to kill Chucky, he touches her coat with his blood-drenched hands, yet there are no finger prints or marks of blood on her coat afterwards. -Thanks to Steven Murray

Towards the end of the movie while Andy's mother is looking for the man who sold the doll to her, she finds him and asks him if he remembered her. She says she had bought the doll the day before when in actuality she bought it days ago. -Thanks to Steven Murray

When Andy and Chucky are on the train, the white stripe around the bottoms of Chucky's shoes are suddenly red. The shade of red is also brighter. -Thanks to Steven Murray

The babysitter's death scene originally had her being electrocuted while taking a bath. The scene was used later in Bride of Chucky (1998).

The store front that "blows up" was actually a chinese resturant that had closed down. It sits right next to a "Pay to Park" lot on the corner of Wabash and Jackson St, Chicago. -Thanks to Matt A.
