After the neighbors hurry towards the mansion, Kim is left behind and hears gunshots. The police leave and the whole neighborhood begins to walk up the hill to the mansion to investigate themselves what happened to Edward. The next shot shows Kim running up the vicinity of the mansion to find him herself. How did she get up there so quickly? [The whole neighborhood stops to talk to the cop for a moment, before continuing their trek to the mansion. Kim could easilly have snuck past them during this time, allowing her to get ahead. She is also probably much faster than them, as she is a teenager, and for the most part, they are quite a bit older than her.]

He would have had to be cutting to get that effect. [The red stuff on Edward's scissor "hands" is not blood and didn't come from the inventor's face. When the inventor begans to collapse while still holding Edward's brand new and not yet attached hands, Edward accidentally punctures them several times. They're not human but apparently contain a red, blood-like fluid - we don't know what. As a result, Edward's scissor blades are soaked in this red goo.] When Edward first sees the water bed, he pokes a hole in it, but later that night, there isn't a hole. [Since there are sheets on the bed, we simply don't see the patch that was certainly applied.] Corrected by Phixius Just before Edward runs his scissor hands over the inventor's face, look closely at the blades. They already have blood on them. [We already know that Edward is constantly stabbing and cutting himself. It's his blood.] The entire neighborhood is supposed to have bright "Easter-colored" houses (as part of Tim Burton's artistic look), however, when all the husbands in the neighborhood get in their cars to go to work, in the top right hand corner of the screen, you can see plain looking houses. [This might be part of Burton's vision, but it is certainly never said in the movie that all the houses are pastel colored. It is entirely plausable that one street might have one overall design, and the houses around it a different one.] When Edward is cutting the woman's hair, his hands are on the back of her head, but it is obvious that his scissor hands are not touching her head. [He is cutting her hair, therefore, he doesn't need to touch her head, just her hair, which sticks out fairly far from the head itself.] Near the end, Edward cuts the Inventor's face. But in the opening credits, you see the dead inventor lying on the floor with no scar. [When you see the inventor in the opening credits, he has no scars because it is the shot of Edward leaning down to stroke his face. He has not been cut yet.] In the scene where Edward is cutting a dog for the first time, we can clearly see that the dog is a sort of fat and is a shaggy type dog, however, when the dog runs to the owner after it is cut and fancy looking, we can see that the dog is all of a sudden skinny and looks like a poddle type dog. [It is known (especially with border collies) that fur can make a dog look larger than it really is.] After Edward's rampage through town, he sits on a curb, and a shaggy dog approaches him waiting for a haircut. Edward snips the hair away from the dog's eyes in a closeup shot, yet in the next shot there is no fur on the ground. [After the dog walks away, you can see Edward's hair move a little, meaning there was a light breeze - the fur could have blown away in the breeze.] When Edward is cutting Joyce's hair on the lawn, there are clouds in the background. But when we see closer shots of Edward's face, the sky is completely blue. Also, the clouds change dramatically from shot to shot. [This is true, although it is not a mistake. In the commentary by the director, Tim Burton, he talks about how the clouds in Florida naturally move very quickly, therefore making the sky look different in almost every shot.] At the beginning of the film, the old lady says Edward created snow. Then,just before the ice angel scene, you see Kim's Dad putting fake snow on the roof. Why would he do that if Edward hadn't made snow yet? [The old lady didn't say that Edward created snow. She said that it never snowed before he came, and it has been snowing ever since.]You may also like: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory | Sleepy Hollow | Beetlejuice | Sweeney Todd | Titanic
