Edward Scissorhands (1990) sits high among Tim Burton's best movies, but in spite of its critical acclaim and commercial success, there are a number of things about the film that still don't make sense 33 years after its initial release. Edward Scissorhands follows the eponymous Edward Scissorhands, a relatively mute artifical man who has scissors in place of hands, and his experiences with love, joy, and sadness, after stumbling into a bizarre, perfectly cookie-cutter suburb. Although the fantasy comedy is considered one of the top Tim Burton and Johnny Depp collaborations, Edward Scissorhands is also notable for its plot holes that seemingly could have been resolved with ease.
