Plot Holes In Tim Burton Movies

From Redditor u/archielotsofnumbers:

InBeetlejuice(1988); Adam and Barb take time to the Netherworld. The first trip took six months. They returned to find their house completely changed. Lydia notices their absence; Beetlejuice tells them they are “dead, dead, deadski, gone, split, afterlife kids…”

But inBeetlejuice Beetlejuice,they jump in and out of the Netherworld without a time gap. Does anyone else see this?

Froma former Redditor:

InBeetlejuice,Given the rules about looking like you died in the afterlife, shouldn't Adam and Barbara always be wet?

They drowned. They got the burned cigarette guy, the shrunken head guy, the person in the sleeping bag with the rattlesnake. Adam and Barbara show no visible damage. They wear the same clothes, but they should always drip water.

From Redditor u/Volfgang91:

Early in the movie, Adam and Barbara find themselves trapped in their home. Every attempt to leave sends them to a barren desert wasteland with sandworms. Time moves differently here. Adam left the house for seconds; Barbara experienced hours.

Near the end, Barbara tries to stop Beetlejuice from marrying Lydia. He sends her back. Knowing how time works differently in this place, how did Barbara crash a sandworm into the house and disrupt the wedding minutes after being sent away, while Beetlejuice and the Deetz (still in the house) should have been gone for hours?

FromMovie Mistakes:

At the film's end, Edward carves ice sculptures in his mansion. How did he get the ice? The location is warm. There is no freezer in the castle. Edward could not get ice from town; he lacked hands to grip it with his scissors. Even if he could, he could not buy ice because everyone in town, except Kim, believed Edward was dead; she told people they killed each other. Kim did not tell him because she told her granddaughter she never saw him after that night. So, where did he get the ice?

From Redditoru/Phazlerde:

What about a real hole? A chair mechanically dumps victims down a shaft into the basement. However, an exterior shot of Mrs. Lovett's Pie Shop shows the chair on the second floor is directly over the bakery. This view shows no hole or shaft.

From Redditoru/rayrayraybies:

The chair should dump the bodies right through the crowded restaurant.Sweeney ToddThe building has the arrangement changed so the bodies won't go through the pie shop.

FromMovie Mistakes:

In the first movie, Bob cannot speak because his mouth is sewn shut, so he makes little sound. How does Charles Deetz's lower body speak? Shouldn't the other half of the magician's assistant who died cut in half be with him in the afterlife?

From Redditoru/Eriacle:

Lydia asks Adam and Barbara to prove they are ghosts, not just doing tricks. They say they cannot.

Adam and Barbara pull off stunts to scare Delia and Otho before this scene. Afterward, they show Juno the scary faces they can make. Telling Lydia they cannot prove they are ghosts seems false.

Before Johnny Depp played Edward, the studio wanted Tom Cruise to play Edward inEdward Scissorhands.According toscreenwriter Caroline Thompson:

[Cruise] wanted to know how Edward used the bathroom. He asked questions about the character that shouldn't be asked. Part of the story's subtlety was not answering questions like, 'How does he go to the bathroom? How did he live without eating all those years?' Tom Cruise wanted those questions answered.

From Redditor u/Snowbank_Lake:

So inBatman Returns,Max pushes Selena out the window, thinking she dies from the fall. She does not die, but Max does not know until she appears at work during his meeting with Bruce Wayne. He told Bruce Selena was on vacation or something. If Selena had died, her body would be found at the bottom of the building where she works, with a broken window in the office. Max should have considered someone finding that suspicious, especially since he did not plan to report her missing.

From Redditoru/MovieMike007:

The roof of Wayne Manor has multiple Bat-Signal reflectors. Each one alerts any guest or passerby that Bruce Wayne is likely Batman.

From Redditoru/Gavincox7:

How is Goody Addams' last name also Addams? Women usually do not pass down their last name, so Wednesday Addams should not have the same name 400 years later. Who can explain this? Do women pass down their last name in this universe instead of men?

From Redditor u/RhapBohemiSody:

After Joker tells Batman he created him, Batman replies Joker made Batman first by killing his parents.

Joker truly does not know what he is talking about. Seconds later, he says he was only young when he did that.

Joker claims ignorance. He never learns Batman is Bruce Wayne. He believes he killed Bruce Wayne when he shot him earlier.

He cannot know he was young because he does not know when Batman's parents died. He only knows this happened before the raid on Axis Chemicals.

From a former Redditor:

A space station orbits Saturn. It warps, landing them on a planet. This landing massively increases the apes' intelligence. I suspend disbelief for that so far.

What confuses me is how horses ended up on that planet. Humans and apes make sense because we see them aboard. No mention of horses appears. I cannot find a reason for enough horses on a space station to create a breeding population. Where did the horses come from?
