I heard there was major controversy in England about some 3 year old boy brutally murdered by two ten year boys and the press blamed it on "Child's Play 3", could anyone care to explain to me the details on this ordeal?
It was said that it inspired the murder, but according to the Childs Play 3 entry on Wikipedia police rejected that idea. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page on the murder that the controversy was about.
It was said that the boys death was similar to that of one seen in the film, and one of the murderers fathers had rented the movie the week of the murder.
I Dunno, there's plenty of other evil doll movies that are better then CP such as "Dolls" (1987), "Puppet Master", "Trilogy of Terror", "Magic" with Anthony Hopkins, "Making Contact (a.k.a. joey)", and "Devil Doll (1964)".

Do any of those movies make 10 year olds want to commit murders though? I'm a bit worried now
LOL, parents never want to take responsibility for their children.

"Child's Play — Four people in England claimed this as an influence in the murder of Suzanne Capper, 16, in 1992. They had injected her with drugs, tortured her with pliers and set fire to her house. All the while, they spouted lines from the movie."
there is a site about movies that apparently caused murder http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/psychology/movies_made_me_kill/10.html
Why doesn't Jack Thompson go and invade Britian with his bullcrap?
Suprising...
He's too busy sending the FBI after innocent webcomic artists for donating to charity in his name. Because, you know, thats exactly what terrorists do.
I'm a UK resident and back when Child's Play 3 was released a toddler named Jamie Bulger was killed by two kids (who were around 10 I think). They just took him away and killed him. They blamed this film for why they killed him. I don't know why though. those two kids who murdered him got sent to a youth detention centre but they are now free with different identitys.
the movie just happened to come out at the time so they had to pick on it for a murder.. the murder still would have happened if the film didnt come out then i think
