How in the world does he end up with scissors for hands?
Edward wasn’t “born,” he was created by a mad scientists (Vincent Price) who gave him scissors for hands because he hadn’t quite worked out how to make functioning hands.
Vincent eventually develops hands for Edward, but dies before he can attach them.
If those were the hands that Edward was going to have, I’d have just as soon kept the scissors. He poked holes through them without even trying, breaking them into twenty pieces. Those things wouldn’t have lasted a day.
Too bad it wasn’t Edward Vibratohands. I don’t think all those neighborhood ladies would have been quite as afraid of him then.
…There is a porno called “Edward Penis-hands”. I swear to God.
How do you know this?
: dodges dildos thrown at him ::
One of the funniest porno flicks I have ever seen…
Why on earth would he give him scissors for hands? Where would one acquire gigantic rusty scissors? And he can work out how to make a human being, but not hands? Alright, I know its just a movie…I’m just rather critical.
It’s been a while since I saw the movie…but I believe that at the start of the film, a book is open and the pages are blowing. The pages detail the development of Ed, showing various stages. Ed is also shown only partially assembled, getting etiquette lessons from his maker.
If you watch the movie carefully, you’ll see that Edward is made from pieces of the inventors cookie making machine. Pieces are replaced one by one by real pieces, until all that are left are the scissors that were originally used for slicing as his hand. The inventor does get the hands created, but as he is about to give them to Edward, he dies.
