    • Trivia
      This is the first time that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp worked together. They became good friends while making the film.
    • Goofs

    • Quotes

      Kim: You're here... They didn't hurt you, did they?

      [Edward shakes his head]

      Kim: Were you scared? I tried to make Jim go back, but, you can't make Jim do anything. Thank you for not telling them that we...

      Edward: You're welcome.

      Kim: It must have been awful when they told you whose house it was.

      Edward: I knew it was Jim's house.

      Kim: You... you did?

      Edward: Yes.

      Kim: ...Well, then why'd you do it?

      Edward: Because you asked me to.

    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox logo is shaded dark winter blue and is accompanied by Edward's snowfall.
    • Alternate versions
      In order to secure a PG certificate in the UK the cinema version was cut by 8 secs to edit some violence during the climactic fight. A shot of Edward being kicked in the stomach was removed and his beating with the crowbar was reduced from 8 blows to 2. The video/DVD versions feature the same print with the cuts now lengthened to 15 secs. The cuts were fully waived by the BBFC for the upgraded 12-rated 2007 DVD release.

    Enchanting!

    I would have to say that Edward Scissorhands is by far one of the best films done by Tim Burton. It is a very beautiful story. They couldn't have chosen a better cast for this movie. Johnny Depp is phenomenal as Edward. He brings the characters in his movies to life so well that it is hard to believe that he is acting. It seems as if when he learns about the movie and goes over the scripts that he transforms in the character. This film is definitely one of them. This movie is nothing short of enchanting. This movie was the reason that I fell in love with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. If you like movies that leave you bug eyed, make you think, and leave you wanting more then this is the film for you. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good fairy tale.
