Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Edward parachutes down into the talent show and the Siamese Twin starts to sing, the camera actually is behind her as it cranes up to see Edward fighting in the fly space. You can see the back of the girl and she has no one attached to her - she is one person.
  • DIRTRADE(Tim Burton):[music]: Danny Elfman score
  • Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Most of the film is the "autobiographical" tall tale that Edward Bloom constructs. Most anachronisms, errors in geography and factual errors are deliberate, to reflect this fact.
  • In the middle of the lettered board in the bank that Norther Winslow robs reads "ROMANS 12:1-2." This refers to the passages in the Bible that says, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."
