Trivialidades:

Michael Lehmann was originally set to direct. Tim Burton was approached to produce and wanted to direct the film as well, but only if this could be his next project instead of Mary Reilly (1996), which he was set to officially sign on to in days. A first treatment of this script was written in six days and Burton accepted. Lehmann moved on to direct Airheads (1994).

Goofs:

Factual errors: There are numerous other inaccuracies between the movie portrayals and the biographies of the various people involved.

Quotes:

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I like to dress in women's clothing.
Georgie Weiss: You're a fruit?
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, not at all. I love women. Wearing their clothes makes me feel closer to them.
Georgie Weiss: You're not a fruit?
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, I'm all man. I even fought in W.W.2. Of course, I was wearing women's undergarments under my uniform.

weird - thank god

There isn't enough weirdness of this ilk in the world. I rated this a 10 because it is perfect in its imperfection, just like Ed Wood was. Come on, the guy did 'Plan 9' for cryin' out loud. How perfectly horrible was that movie??

Landau was flawless as Bela Lugosi. Johnny Depp was his usual wonderful weird self. What is there to say about Bill Murray that hasn't already been said? Sarah Jessica Parker was brilliant as the not quite an airhead girlfriend/wife.

Frankly, I just can't find anything wrong with this movie except that it ends. I just wanted the weirdness to go on and on.
