Child's Play 3 (1991) KILL COUNT: RECOUNT is the three hundred and forty-third video of The Kill Count.
Overview[]
Eight years after Chucky's second demise, the Play Pals company resumes manufacturing Good Guy dolls and re-opens the abandoned factory. A splash of blood from Chucky's corpse is inadvertently mixed in with the plastic being used to produce the dolls, reviving him in an updated body. Chucky is given to Play Pals CEO Mr. Sullivan. Chucky strangles him to death, then uses computer records to locate Andy Barclay.
Now 16, Andy has been sent to Kent Military School after he failed to cope in several foster homes. Colonel Cochrane, the school's commandant, advises Andy to forget his "fantasies" about the doll. Andy befriends cadets Harold Aubrey Whitehurst; Ronald Tyler, an 8-year-old cadet; and Kristin DeSilva, for whom he develops romantic feelings. He also meets Brett C. Shelton, a sadistic lieutenant colonel who routinely bullies the cadets.
Tyler is asked to deliver a package to Andy's room. Tyler realizes that the package contains a Good Guy doll and takes it to the cellar to open it. Chucky bursts from the package and is incensed to find Tyler instead of Andy, but remembering he can possess the first person who learns his true identity, tells Tyler his secret. Before Chucky can enact the ritual, Cochrane interrupts them and confiscates the doll, throwing it into a garbage truck. Chucky escapes by luring the driver into the truck's compactor and crushing him.
That night, Chucky attacks Andy and tells him his plans for taking over Tyler's body. Before Andy can fight back, Shelton comes in and takes the doll from him. Andy then sneaks into Shelton's room to recover it but Sheldon awakens to confront him, only to find that Chucky has vanished. Suspecting the doll was stolen, Sheldon forces all the cadets to do exercises as punishment. Chucky attempts to possess Tyler again, but they are interrupted by DeSilva and fellow cadet Ivers. Later, a knife-wielding Chucky surprises Cochrane, unintentionally shocking him into a fatal heart attack. The next morning, Andy tries to convince Tyler that Chucky is evil, but Tyler refuses to believe him. Meanwhile, Chucky kills the camp barber Sgt. Botnick by slashing his throat with a straight razor. Whitehurst witnesses this and flees.
Despite Cochrane's death, the school's annual war games are ordered to proceed as planned, with cadets divided between a "Red Team" and "Blue Team." Andy and Shelton are both on the Blue Team. Chucky secretly replaces the paint bullets of the Red team with live ammunition. When the simulation begins, Chucky gets Tyler away from his team. Finally realizing that Chucky is evil, Tyler stabs him with a pocket knife and flees to find Andy. Chucky then attacks DeSilva and holds her hostage. Chucky forces Andy to exchange Tyler for DeSilva. The Blue team and Red team arrive on the scene and open fire; Shelton is killed by one of the bullets fired by the Red Team. Tyler escapes in the chaos. Chucky tosses a grenade at the quarrelling cadets. Whitehurst leaps on top of the grenade, sacrificing himself to save the others.
Andy and Kristin pursue Chucky and Tyler into a haunted house themed roller-coaster at a nearby carnival. Chucky kills a security guard, kidnaps Tyler, and shoots Kristin in the leg with a stolen gun, leaving Andy to fight him alone. Andy is able to use the security guard's revolver to shoot Chucky's arm off and stop him from finishing the ritual to possess Tyler. Before Tyler and Andy can leave, Chucky again attacks Andy, but Tyler gives Andy his pocket knife, which he uses to cut off Chucky's hand. Andy then throws Chucky into a massive metal fan that is part of the attraction, shredding him to pieces and finally killing him. Later, Andy is taken away by the police for questioning while DeSilva is rushed to the hospital as the carnival closes down.
