Chucky. He's a doll. Not just any doll mind you. No, this is a Good Guy doll. Not just any Good Guy doll mind you. No, this is a criminaly possesed serial killer doll. Not just any criminally possesed serial killer doll....oh....ok, he is just an ordinary criminally possesed serial killer doll. Anyway, fans of this little terror will be pleased to see that 3 of the 4 films in this series have gotten a nice DVD treatment, sans extras for the most part.
Included in this box set is Childs Play 2, Childs Play 3, and the finale, Bride of Chucky. The first Childs Play resides over in the hands of MGM and they've only delivered a horrific full screen DVD version with no update in sight. All 3 films are presented in their apporpriate widescreen aspect ratio's thankfully and look relatively smooth considering their age.
Childs Play 2 is an excellent sequel and wastes no time in getting things started. The greedy corporation responsible for the Good Guy dolls is well underway in trying to cover themselves after the events of the first film. Like any good corporate conglomerate these days, in their eternal quest to make a buck, they decide to relaunch the toy line. Bad move. Serial killer Charles Lee Ray once again is trapped in the body and must steal the soul of a young child named Andy Barkley (Alex Vincent reprising his role from the first film). It's a great ride, but the body count is relatively low for a slasher flick.
Childs Play 3 is an entirely different story. It's a mess, plain and simple. Seems that Andy (Justin Whailin), now about 8 or so years older, couldn't find a family that could deal with his "doll" problem. But, of course, the Good Guy doll is resurrected once again with, yep, the soul of Charles Lee Ray still tucked away inside. After mailing himself (!) to the camp, Chucky befreinds another young child and tries taking his soul. Well, Andy, the ever so quick one, is hot on his trail. The acting is sub-par, some of the characters are just plain ludicrous, and the entire human storyline is a train wreck. The ending is just sad, though Chucky's death is quite funny.

Wow ... how can there be a solid collection without the first film? Too bad.
2 - Eric Olsen
Yeah, that's like "Chucky" without the "C," which would be "Hucky."

most people have already bought the first film; they just want #2,3 and Bride of Chucky (like me) :P

It's a good collection to have and the set comes with all three cases which is a very good deal. All of the movies are good (I didn't like the first one too much, so I'm glad it's not included in the set to tell you the truth). Buy this set and watch all three movies with a friend or loved one.

Well this is what i think:When Seed Of Chucky comes out on DVD they should bring all 5 chucky movies out in one collection.And I do agree with TDavid and Eric Olsen.So in time i hope they will have all 5 of the chucky movies in one DVD collection,which will be called The Ultimate Chucky Collection.
