Short description

Eight years after Andy Barclay believed he had destroyed the killer doll, the now sixteen-year-old is enrolled at a military school. Meanwhile, the heads of the Play Pals toy company decide enough time has passed to revive the Good Guys line. When the first doll rolls off the assembly line, formed from a mass of melted plastic, the spirit of the murderer Chucky is reborn. He resumes his pursuit of Andy, still determined to transfer his soul into the boy's body and escape his plastic form, and begins working his way through the school.

The film is a horror thriller directed by Jack Bender, the first title in his directing filmography ahead of Armed and Innocent and Lone Justice 2. Don Mancini wrote the screenplay, Robert Latham Brown produced, and Universal Pictures released it in 1991. Justin Whalin plays Andy, with Brad Dourif voicing Chucky, and Perrey Reeves, Jeremy Sylvers, Travis Fine and Dean Jacobson among the credited cast of thirty-four. Made for roughly thirteen million dollars, it returned about twenty-one million worldwide. On IMDb it holds 5.2 out of 10 from around fifty-one thousand votes, while on TMDB it stands at 5.9 from about eighteen hundred. A critics' rating of 4.2 out of 10 from sixteen reviews places it below the audience scores.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In the UK, just around the time of the film's release, a terrible tragedy occurred: two 11-year-old teenagers kidnapped and killed a three-year-old infant. The press suggested that the film might have influenced the children's behavior. An unofficial ban was imposed in the country on products advertising juvenile crime. So the film was not banned, but many cinemas refused to show it, stores refused to sell the tapes, and the company 'Sky' cancelled the television premiere.
  • As a result of pressure from Universal Pictures, screenwriter Don Mancini began working on the script for the third film in the franchise even before the second film was released. This is why the film was released just 9 months after the 1990 release of 'Child's Play 2'. Mancini called the script for this film his least successful and, consequently, least favorite, as he experienced certain difficulties with fresh ideas due to the short time between the release of the second and third films in the franchise.
  • The first film in the franchise to use computers in the depiction of the Chucky doll.
