The role of "Pete Peters" was written specifically for John Waters as he was a fan of the Child's Play movies.
The TV spots for this movie displays an unusual disclaimer: Britney Spears Does Not Appear In This Movie. This disclaimer was inserted into TV spots because Britney's management was concerned that people might be led to believe that Britney actually appears in the movie. It is not her in the movie; but a look-alike.
Quentin Tarantino was originally offered the role that Redman later played as the role was originally written for him in mind.
When the floor manager at the beginning of the film shouts "Hey, Tiffany's left arm is loose again" and then the arm grabs his crotch, this is an in-joke as revealed on the DVD commentary for Chucky und seine Braut (1998). Jennifer Tilly explains that Chucky's left arm kept grabbing her breasts during shoots.
As of 2022, this is the only Child's Play/Chucky film that contains nudity.
