The crew were aware that people would draw connections between it and Edward Scissorhands (1990), and therefore purposely did not include scissors in the design.

While playing football in Ashton, Edward Bloom is running with the ball when two players from the opposing team dive to try to tackle him, and dive off screen. As the camera continues to reveal more of the field, the players are nowhere to be seen. They should have still been on the ground where they had fallen.

When Ed is dying in the hospital, his son watches him in anguish and there is only one light reflected in each of Will's and Ed's eyes. When Ed's eyes become fixed, the light in his eyes brightens, and a second light can be seen reflecting in the corner of his eyes. When the camera pans back to Will, two spots of light are now reflected in his eyes showing the addition of a second light off camera.
