Plot Summary
- The doll from the previous movie is cleaned, repaired and put back together. The manufacturers want to prove there was nothing wrong with the doll. There were rumors that someone tampered with the doll's voice cassette, something like "Hi, I'm Chucky. I'm the Lakeshore Strangler and I'm going to kill you." Andy is in a foster care home. His mother is in a psychiatric ward. While working on the doll, a supernatural force surges through the machine and electrocutes the technician. Mr Sullivan does not like how this looks. He wants Mattson to smuggle this error out of here in twenty-four hours. He comes up with a fine way to deal with the doll: "Stick it up your ass."Andy's foster parents Phil and Joanne bring Andy to their home. Phil lays down a rule: "First rule, don't touch the old stuff." Andy meets his foster sister Kyle. Andy opens a closet door. A Good Guy Doll falls down and scares Andy. Phil lays down another rule: "Andy, rule number two, no running in the house."Mattson stops at a liquor store. While he's gone, Chucky uses the car telephone to call the foster care home and get the whereabouts of Andy, "This is his Uncle Charles".Mattson returns. The car alarm is on, but there's nobody inside the car. While inside the car, Chucky holds Mattson at gunpoint. He orders Mattson to drive and park the car. He has Mattson put his hands behind the back of the seat. He ties the hands together with a skipping rope. He says: "Bang, you're dead." Water squirts out of the gun. They laugh. Chucky sticks a bag over the man's head and suffocates him to death. In the house, Chucky meets his look-alike, "Hi, I'm Tommy.""Shut up you idiot" says Chucky. He smashes the Tommy doll's face with the ornament. He buries the doll in the backyard. Phil is upset over the broken ornament. Andy and Kyle both deny that they did it. Phil says until one person confesses, they're both grounded. In the evening, Chucky has Andy tied to the bed and gagged. He has come up with a game called "Hide the Soul", which means doing the same chant as he did in the first movie. Kyle appears at the window. Chucky has to find another time when Andy is alone. Phil throws Chucky in the basement so it can't bother Andy. Chucky gets a nosebleed. He's turning human again. He must get to work on Andy's body fast.Andy goes to school. Chucky catches a ride underneath the school bus. He finds Andy's homework assignment and vandalizes it, giving Miss Kettlewell a personal message. The teacher puts Andy in detention. She throws Chucky in the closet and locks it. She also locks Andy in the room. Andy looks through the closet keyhole. Chucky's eye appears. Andy climbs out the window. Miss Kettlewell thinks the noise coming from the closet is Andy. She opens it to give him a good scolding. She can't find Andy anywhere. Chucky stabs Miss Kettlewell with an air pump and injects her full of air. She stumbles out of the closet, knocking some desks over. Chucky appears from the closet holding a big stick, "You've been very naughty Miss Kettlewell." The camera zooms out from the window with each swing of the stick.Back in the house, Kyle tells Andy that she has lived with dozens of families. They always seem to send her away when she starts to get comfortable. Every time it has happened, it has made her stronger. The only person she can rely on is herself. Andy says: "It doesn't matter. Wherever I go, Chucky will find me." Andy takes an electric meat knife and walks into the basement. Chucky drops down on Andy. There is a struggle as Andy crawls along the floor with Chucky on his back. Andy reaches the knife and hits Chucky in the head with it. Chucky runs off. Phil appears. He is being extra cautious seeing Andy holding the electric knife. Chucky trips Phil on the stairs, causing him to fall through the banister. "How's it hanging Phil?" says Chucky, before he lets go of the rope. Phil falls, breaks his neck and dies.Because of Phil's death, Joanne decides to return Andy to the foster care home. Kyle puts Chucky in the bin. She swings on a swing, smoking a cigarette. She kicks up some earth, enough to reveal a buried item. She pulls up the Tommy doll. She finds the bin empty. She finds Joanne at a sewing machine, her mouth gagged, and her throat slit. Chucky takes Kyle captive and forces her to drive to the foster care home. They must have been speeding as they are pulled over by the police. The policeman seems drawn to the doll. He asks: "What's your name, buddy?""Chucky" replies the doll. Blood coming out of its nose seems to freak out the policeman enough to let them go. Kyle accelerates and brakes suddenly, sending Chucky crashing through the windscreen. Kyle crashes the car against a post to throw Chucky off the bonnet. Kyle tries to crush Chucky against a fence, but Chucky gets out the way. Chucky takes Kyle captive again, "Playtime's over."The fire alarm is on in the foster care home. Kyle says that Chucky pulled the fire alarm. Grace brings them into her office. She grabs hold of the doll. Chucky comes to life, "Amazing isn't it." He stabs Grace in the chest. She falls onto a photocopy machine and her death face is printed. Chucky closes the door between Andy and Kyle. He has Andy get in the back of a Chicago Sun-Times van. Kyle drives the car in front of the van to stop the van. Andy is running with Chucky on his back into the Good Guy Doll factory, and Kyle in pursuit, leaving an angry driver behind. Andy runs through a maze of Good Guy Doll packages. Chucky knocks Andy out with a blow to the back of the head. Chucky actually manages to complete the chant. However, his nose continues bleeding. It is too late. He's been inside this doll's body for too long. Now he's stuck with it. Kyle knocks a stack of boxes onto Chucky.Kyle and Andy climb up a roller slide. Chucky appears and climbs up after Andy. Kyle pulls Andy to the top of the slide and closes a yellow gate down on Chucky's hand. Chucky rips his hand off trying to get it free. He uses a knife blade as a replacement for his hand. Kyle and Andy get through a machine inserting the dolls' eyes to get to an exit door. With dolls clogging up the production line, a technician takes notice.

Storyline
- Andy Barclay has been placed in a foster home after the tragic events of the first film, since his mother was committed. In an attempt to save their reputation, the manufacturers of Chucky reconstruct the killer doll, to prove to the public that nothing was wrong with it in the first place. In doing so, they also bring the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray back to life. As Chucky tries to locate Andy, the body count rises. Will Andy be able to escape, or will Chucky succeed in possessing his body? — Phil Fernando A little over two years after the events of the first film, a now 8-year-old Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent), has become a ward of the state after his mother Karen was placed in a mental institute after sticking to her story about Chucky in court. CEO of the Play Pals company Sullivan (Peter Haskell) has the Chucky doll re-assembled to show nothing is wrong with it. Doing this, reawakens the soul of Charles Lee Ray aka Chucky (voice of Brad Dourif) who now goes in search of Andy. At the same time, Andy is placed in a foster home, being taken in by Joanne (Jenny Agutter) and Phil Simpson (Gerrit Graham). Andy is also introduced to his rebellious 17-year-old foster sister Kyle (Christine Elise). Chucky tracks down Andy and resumes his murderous ways in order to transfer his soul into Andy to become human, leaving Kyle as the only person who can protect Andy and help him stop Chucky. — nikeno71 When Andy Barclay is separated from his mother following the events of 'Child's Play' and housed in a tense foster home, he refuses to give up his memories of his tormentor: Chucky. However, when the killer doll suddenly returns after being repaired, Andy will need far more than confidence- he'll need the help of his fiery foster sister Kyle, who doesn't believe Andy's fearmongering about the satanic killer doll. — jamesmcook-04470 Following the terrible traumatic events of the first film, Andy Barclay is placed into foster care while his mother is admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Still having terrible memories of Chucky, he has never been the same since; unknowingly to him Chucky has returned again after being reconstructed from his charred remains, and is still determined to get his soul into Andy. After tracking Andy down in his new foster home, Andy must now find a way to save himself with the help of his new foster sister, Kyle, and stop the devilish killer doll from possessing him. — alonzovillafra 1 more See all
