Bogus Blunders

Sometimes an apparent goof is not a real mistake

The following goofs for "Child's Play" are apparently bogus. If you disagree or have additional info, please update us.

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.

But, an anonymous visitor commented: "It was the day before when she bought the doll."
