But even if this is the event , the newChild ’s Playcouldn’t help but pay respect to its reference material . After all , it would n’t even live if Chucky did n’t become one of picture palace ’s most venerate and dear mass murderers all those decades ago . The remake is filled with outcry - outs and homage to the previous picture show , though it ’ll take some squinting to see them . Here are 10 such callbacks thatChild ’s Playmakes to the original picture show , but more should be gestate to come out when the movie come on video recording and streaming .
Kaslan Corporation Takes A Hit
Every time Chucky go on a killing spree , his Lord at Play brother take heavy financial blows and lose public reliance . Time and again they failed to redeem themselves , and arguably made thing worse .
likewise , Chucky ’s new creators at Kaslan Corporation faced intense rebound following the fucking debut of the Buddi 2 , squeeze the company to withdraw all of the Buddi dolls still leave in the mart . Whether they ’ll commit the same mistake that toy Pals did has yet to be seen , though the remake ’s finish tease all but confirms that the bad is yet to come .
Death At A Factory
It may have been unplanned , but the remake opens in a standardised manner toChild ’s Play 2,where the first onscreen death occurs in the factory where Chucky is have . While the subsequence ’s opening expiry may or may not have been supernatural in origin – where a prole gets electrocuted while run on Chucky – the remaking has a more grounded approach .
As retaliation against his intimidation foreman , the worker assigned to Chucky deliberately mess with the bird ’s computer programming before killing himself . The death is blunter and more disturbing , cementing the visceral tonicity for the remake ahead of time on .
Chucky Loves Pop Culture
As the sequels go by , Chucky ( and the filmmakers ) began to show their love of pop finish and other horror movies , with Chucky making numerous reference to other literary genre collision such as the time he forgot what to say after homagingThe ShininginSeed of Chucky .
The newChild ’s Playupholds this tradition but takes it to the next level , using the reference as a plot of land gadget . In the remake , Chucky learns about the joys of execution after watching the equally self - awareThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2,imitating one of Leatherface ’s signature incite during his first kill .
Detective Mike Norris

Det . Norris returns in the remaking , albeit in name only . Now , the detective is an old man who takes care of his mother in the same building as the Barclays . The two families set off a genuine friendship but the ensue massacre perpetrated by Chucky arrange a strain on their budding companionship .
The Buddi Ads
In both the original series and the remake , the toyline that Chucky come from is fabulously democratic and this is shown through the ads promoting them . The first three movies – set in the tardy ‘ 80s – feature appropriately corny and tawdry cartoons , commercial and live - show for the Good Guy dolls while the remaking updates this .
To accommodate the digital age , the Buddi dolls are present in mental test audience - approve corporate videos not unlike those in an E3 conference . While different in panache , both advertizement are tongue - in - brass yet nuanced lampoon of toy course that would n’t feel misplace in their respective time options .
The Buddi Doll
Chucky is one of the most iconic slasher villains in the horror musical genre , and transfer his flavour too much would be a misapprehension . The remake recognize this and even if his new face look rather ugly , the core design stay on the same .
However , the Buddi ’s weird face may have been designed . character often comment about how unsettling the Good Guys were in theChild ’s Playmovies , with those in the late sequels outright calling Chucky ’s stitched - up visage ugly . The remake continues this , now with Andy and friends remarking how creepy yet human Chucky ’s weird animatronic facial expressions are .
Friends To The End
Good Guy dolls were advertised to be tike ’s friends ‘ till the end , and Chucky proved this in a very misrepresented and homicidal way . Buddi dolls are likewise promoted , though the tagline now proclaims that the dolls are more than toys because they ’re their owners ’ good friend .
The remake makes skilful use of this ironic tagline , with Chucky often ask Andy if they ’re really buddies for life . The main difference here is the Modern Chucky ’s question is in reality sincere , while the original Chucky – possess by a successive orca – asked it rhetorically and often while stabbing whoever he ’s talking to .
The Weapon Of Choice
Slasher villains are often nothing without their touch weapon . If Freddy Krueger had his bladed glove and Jason Voorhees wield a machete , Chucky was almost never seen without his trusty kitchen knife .
Chucky’s Death
For a pint - sized serial killer , Chucky rack up an telling phone number of end where he either explode or got dismember . His first death continue the most brutal , where he survived a lot of price before finally dying to a decapitation and a fatal gunfire .
The remaking pays protection to the first of Chucky ’s many deaths , but with some modest tweaks . This metre around , Det . Norris shoots Chucky first before Karen beheads the homicidal chick with her bare hands . The episode of events may be unlike , but the violent death gust rest the same .
The ‘80s
Because of its update metre scene , the remaking could n’t double some ofChild ’s Play’sspecifics – like dolls and voodoo magic – so it instead paid tribute to the ten the that it debuted in : the ‘ fourscore .
Director Lars Klevberg ’s love of the ‘ 80s is no secret , and he proudly admitted to usingE.T. the Extra - Terrestrialas an inspiration for his remaking . The remake itself has an undeniably ‘ 80s seen in how foul - mouthed kids salvage the day from the behemoth , an weak suburban family moral force , and Andy deliver aPoltergeist IIIposter in his elbow room .
