1. Jack Frost (2 movies)
Usually when you hear the term Chucky rip off, you quickly think it had to be a killer toy. But here imagine instead of any toy, it was a snowman killing people. I know some of you are probably wondering how exactly does Jack Frost counts as one am I right? First off, both in their first movie did die before becoming a doll/snowman respectively.
Also, they can still attack people through decapitations. Obviously, there are the one liners that's suppose to be somewhat funny. Oh wait, I'm not done yet both of them were serial killers. Technically if you think about it, Chucky eventually ended up ripping him off. Let me explain, Cult of Chucky introduced Chucky possessing multiple Good Guy Dolls at once.
But in Jack Frost 2, he was capable of creating offsprings that were vicious snowballs. Now I know not exactly the same concept sure. The simple fact remains that the original was the one creating them. Jack Frost got more ridiculous in the second movie. In a sense, Seed of Chucky indirectly ripped it off.
Both of them are not great horror comedy movies. Parts of it shows you how fake it is. Jack Frost was already a silly concept for a horror movie. It didn't help people like myself kept confusing it with Michael Keaton's Jack Frost movie. How they become what they are today is vastly different. Charles Lee Ray was fatally wounded by a gunshot.
He goes into a toy store to put his soul into a Good Guy doll. He done this through voodoo that resulted in a bolt of lightning directly hitting him dead while still inside a toy store. In Jack's case, an accident happens that caused his vehicle to fall over. Keep in mind, he was meant to be transferred for death row sentence.
He comes out of the vehicle into the direct path of an exploding chemical container of another vehicle. It broke open exposing those chemicals to him causing Jack to melt into the snow. Obviously, it was a more mess up way to die. I should mention, Jack also has a rape kill. Personally, I am upset that remained in the movie even for that actress' first movie.
I just realized something else going back to those killer snowballs. Chucky has a son & daughter of his own too. Although their birth wasn't as natural since voodoo was used. This was also done to transferring their souls to Jennifer Tilly's babies. Yes, both of these characters has what you call blood inside of them.
2. Gingerdead Man (8 movies)
Millard Findlemeyer was a serial killer that ended up getting caught. He was given the chair but his witch mother placed his ashes inside a cookie jar. Basically, she tricked them into reviving Millard as a gingerbread man. Yes, a killer snowman sounds like a bad joke but this makes that joke seem much funnier in comparison.
I should point out, Full Moon just doesn't know how to properly use this character. The first movie does sorta remind me of a not so great Child's Play movie knock off. But the second one was a direct parody of Full Moon itself. Yet it technically was ripping off a particular Chucky movie. Seed of Chucky since both did have parts took place around a movie studio.
Yes I know most of Gingerdead Man 2 stayed there while Seed of Chucky moved away from it before the movie got too comical. The third Gingerdead Man was a full on parody of several movies. This alone made even the most ridiculous stuff Chucky has ever done not as mind blowing. I should mention beyond a crossover movie, he was just there.
They officially killed him off in Evil Bong 777 while in Hell. Both of these characters did have a sex scene. Not only that, both of them are known for throwing out one liners. In fact, they are so similar not much is separating them. Like Chucky has a few methods to transfer his soul to someone else. You have to eat Gingerdead Man for him to possess you.
I should point out Gingerdead Man is notably shorter than Chucky. Obviously Jack Frost was the tallest Chucky rip off character ever. Yet Gingerdead Man was also in a crossover comic book series. It is easy for both of them to be rebuild through different ways. Chucky is still one of the most talked about killer dolls in horror movies ever.
Obviously, both of them were serial killers before getting their souls transferred. Gingerdead Man has more of a sick, twisted mind. Yes even that masturbation scene from Seed of Chucky. Both of them have fought inanimate objects brought to life. Gingerdead Man started off as a knock off that quickly loss his way.
What all three of them has in common
Both Jack Frost & Gingerdead Man has some major things in common with Chucky. All three of them were serial killers that were either dying or dead in Gingerdead Man's case. Before having their souls transferred to someone most people wouldn't expect or believe. Thus, it was easier for them to get away with murder.
Not only that, all three of them has one liners of their own. In some degree, surprisingly all three had a sex scene with Jack Frost's being a rape. I just needed to point it out for this comparison. All three of them can easily be rebuild with Jack Frost being able to doing it himself in Jack Frost 2. Their personalities are striking similar too.
All three of them are holding grudges on people they want to kill. The ones in question I'm talking about relates to how these three died. All three of them also has blood. One of the later movies became a full blown parody. Seed of Chucky, Jack Frost 2 & Gingerdead 3 are exactly those movies. In their own right, what all three of them can do makes them sorta ridiculous.
