* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Inverted with Winona Ryder playing Kim. The raven black hair that she is known for is actually dye, which she's used since her first film appearance as a child; this is the only role (as of 2015) in which she appears with her natural ''blonde'' hair color.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: Being rather frail of health at this point, [[Vincent Price]] fainted under the hot studio lights in the scene where he dies. Tim Burton reportedly kept the shot of him on the floor in the final movie.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The [[Signature Scene]] where Edward makes an ice sculpture and Kim dances in the "snow" he makes is frequently referred to as "the ice dance".
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Johnny Depp -- then best known for ''21 Jump Street'' -- as Edward, and the usually nerdy Anthony Michael Hall as Jim. [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Which is kind of funny,]] since Depp's close involvement with Burton over recent years has made him famous for this type of role as well.
** Ditto for Winona Ryder. Before this she had mostly played dark and moody teenagers in ''[[Heathers]]'', ''[[Mermaids]]'', and ''[[Beetlejuice]]'', while Kim is more of a [[Girl Next Door]].
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Tom Cruise]] was offered the role of Edward, but he turned it down because he thought the role was too feminine.
** Vincent Price was supposed to have a much larger role in the film, but his health was too frail (he died in 1993, making this his last work on the big screen).
** Rumor has it that [[Jim Carrey]] wanted the role of Edward badly — so much that he auditioned more than once.
