Edward Scissorhands: parents' guide

Edward's blades cause small accidental cuts with some blood. In the climax, Kim's boyfriend beats Edward with a poker and fires a gun; Edward stabs him, and he falls from a window and lies dead below.

Around ten instances of profanity, including "s--t," "dick," "damn," "hell" and God's name as an exclamation. Edward is called a "freak," and the insults "retarded" and "cripple" are used.

A married neighbor in tight outfits straddles Edward and strips to her bra trying to seduce him, then falsely accuses him of sexually assaulting her. Women gossip about him suggestively, and a teen jokes about a van with a mattress.

Edward drinks alcohol for the first time, gets drunk and is sick. Teens drink beer, one drives recklessly after drinking, and adults drink at home and smoke cigarettes.

The dark, decaying mansion and Edward's scarred face and blades may scare young kids. A flashback shows his elderly inventor, a father figure, collapsing and dying before him, and an angry mob hunts Edward at the end.
