You'd think that he had enough time since the 80s to dull a blade and make it safe enough for this purpose, but no, almost four decades later and still sharp as new

He's like a cat, keeping the claws sharp is just instinct

Had to look up when it was set, because I assumed the 50s or 60s

The pastel colors, house furnishings, women's fashions and hairstyles, pill hats, starburst wall clocks and pastel-colored rotary dial telephones are all reminiscent of the early 1960s. However, the VCRs and aerobics classes came to be in the 1980s or thereabout. So there is no real time when the movie "took place."

I guess that makes sense.

Not set in any of our time periods, but rather an alternate universe where the fashion trends, technology advancements and scissor hand dudes make sense.

Pee? Poop and wipe? How's he get those tight leather clothes on/off? (Apparently not at all.) Does he require food? He does appear to eat. If not. What's his energy source? This movie left me with so many questions, including the ball scratching.
