Plot summary
After the events at the hotel, Rick Myers is arrested on suspicion of killing Dr. Piper and Baker. Dr. Jennings, the new head of an artificial intelligence project and Rick's temporary superior, arranges bail. Blade is held in a police evidence room but escapes and slips into Susie's purse when she comes for Rick. Lauren remains comatose in a hospital. In the underworld, Sutekh puts his life essence into a figure called Totem. Jennings doubts Rick's account yet wants Toulon's secret, since private backers promise money for a prototype. He takes three hired men, Tom Hendy, Jason, and Scott, to the Bodega Bay Inn to seize the puppets and the formula. Rick wakes from a nightmare, finds Blade, and leaves for the hotel. Susie visits Lauren, sees a vision of Sutekh and Totem, cannot reach Rick, and follows.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter (1994)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In 1992 executive producer Charles Band announced Puppet Master 4 before a script existed, planning it as a crossover in which the puppets would battle the Demonic Toys. The project collapsed, and Demonic Toys instead crossed over with Dollman in Dollman vs. Demonic Toys in 1993.
- Actress Diane McBain was shocked at the free craft service and lunch laid on for the cast and crew of the two films, and claimed she got projectile diarrhea after eating the meal.
- The puppet Blade's body in the film was a re-designed version of Tunneler's autopsy body from Puppet Master II.
- Rappaport said the Totem was the most complicated puppet he and his team had built yet; it was made from plastic and operated with cables.
- Willard E. Pugh shaved his head to play the thug Jason, and he, Duane Whitaker and Nicholas Guest ad-libbed most of their lines.
- Director Jeff Burr wanted to give the puppets more human characteristics and "direct" them like human actors, and their footage was shot in a second unit rather than with the actors.
