The story
Eight years after seemingly destroying the killer doll, teen Andy Barclay is placed in a military school, and the spirit of Chucky returns to renew his quest and seek vengeance after being recreated from a mass of melted plastic.
Child's Play 3 recap
Child's Play 3 (1991) revives Chucky when his blood drips into the plastic for new dolls, and he tracks a 16-year-old Andy Barclay to military school. Jack Bender directs, and Justin Whalin takes over as Andy, set eight years after the second film. Chucky kills the Play Pals boss, mails himself to Kent Military School and is opened by Ronald Tyler (Jeremy Sylvers), an eight-year-old cadet. Since a new doll means a new chance, Chucky tells Tyler his name and aims for Tyler's body instead of Andy's. Andy, who falls for fellow cadet Kristin De Silva (Perrey Reeves), knows what the doll is but no one believes him. Chucky crushes a garbage collector, frightens the commandant into a fatal heart attack and slits the barber's throat, then swaps paint rounds for live ammunition before the school's war games. It follows Child's Play 2 and closes Andy's first run; Bride of Chucky picks up a month later.
Child's Play 3 ending explained
Child's Play 3 ends at a carnival next to the academy, where Chucky drags Tyler into a haunted-house roller coaster for a last attempt at the ritual. Andy shoots him, and when the doll comes back he throws it into a giant fan that shreds it. De Silva is taken to hospital and Andy is led away by police. Bride of Chucky opens with those remains in an evidence locker.
