Child's Play (film): Difference between revisions

Not to be confused with [[Childs Play|the charity]] or [[Child's Play|the Bill Cullen game show]].

{{tropelist}}

* [[Accidental Murder]]: In the third movie Colonel Cochran suffered a fatal heart attack before Chucky even got a chance to stab him.

** You can't actually blame Chucky for the death of Maggie the Babysitter. He ''was'' intending to murder her when he hit her in the face with a hammer, but her actual death was more the result of her tripping over while she wildly stumbled backwards, which caused her to fall out the apartment window. In other words, her own ''clumsiness'' is what technically killed her.

* [[Adam Westing]]: [[Jennifer Tilly]] in ''Seed''

* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: The Good Guy Doll being alive was supposed to be a [[Twist Ending]] in the first film... wouldn't you know? The original poster of the first film just showed a woman crashing through a window out of a building (the first murder victim of Chucky in the film) and giant evil eyes in the stormy sky.

* [[And I Must Scream]]: It's implied in the ''[[Hack Slash]]'' crossover that Chucky is stuck in a state similar to this whenever his body is destroyed.

* [[Artificial Limbs]]: In ''Child's Play 2'', Chucky replaces his hand with a knife after tearing his old one off to escape.

* [[As Himself]]: In ''Seed'', Redman has decided to branch out from the music industry into film-making.

* [[Asshole Victim]]:

** ''Child's Play 3'' has [[Jerk Jock|Shelton]].

** ''Bride of Chucky'' has the couple who steal Jesse and Jade's money, and Jade's [[Dirty Cop|Uncle Warren]].

* [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: {{spoiler|At the end of ''Seed'', Tiffany successfully takes over Jennifer Tilly's body.}}

* [[Bath Kick]]: Tiffany manages to fend of Chucky with one leg. If she did more than scream her fool head off, she might have escaped the collapsing television.

* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: David ''explodes'' when he gets hit by a truck in ''Bride of Chucky''.

* [[Mama Bear]]: Andy's mother at first, then Kyle in the second film.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The last two films revel in this Trope.

* [[Moral Dissonance]]:

{{quote|'''Chucky:''' "This package was meant for Andy. Don't you know tampering with the mail is a federal offense?"}}

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: In ''Seed'' Chucky needs to {{spoiler|[[A Date with Rosie Palms|give a sperm sample]].}} He passed up several traditional fuels for this such as fashion magazines and swimsuit catalogs and instead opts for [[Fangoria]].

* [[Off with His Head]]: Chucky gets decapitated during the finale of the original, but it doesn't kill him.

** In ''Seed of Chucky'', Tony Gardner gets murdered when Chucky and Tiffany wrap a wire around his neck and yank on it, slicing his head off.

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Andy doesn't return after the third ''Child's Play'' movie. The movie ends with him being brought in by the police for questioning. Same thing applies to Tyler as well.

** Nor has the Good Guy Dolls company ever been mentioned, even though they're back in business. However, some dialogue from ''Bride'' implies they've been shut down again, this time for good.

* [[Who Needs Their Whole Body?]]: Chucky keeps going as a one-armed, one-legged torso in the original. In the second film, he loses his legs but doesn't stop trying to kill Andy and Kyle.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Chucky more or less says this to his former voodoo teacher after torturing him into revealing how to escape the doll's body.

** This also happens in the second film, when Chucky discovers that it's too late to use Andy as his new [[Soul Jar]] and decides to kill him instead.

* [[Your Head Asplode]]: In ''Child's Play 2'', this is how Chucky is done in.
