Both Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. were candidates for the role of Edward Scissorhands.

In this movie, Johnny Depp only said 169 words.
The film was inspired by a painting created by director Tim Bolton when he was a teenager.
In the scene where Edward escapes and returns home, Johnny Depp, exhausted, suddenly falls down due to his unbearable heat and leather clothes.
During the filming of Vincent Price's death, he actually fainted, and the director decided to keep the performance during his morbid state in the film.
