Eyelashes

It's mentioned in the film that he didn't have any hair on his body. Yet he had eyelashes. Is that a plot hole or did I miss something?

I noticed that too, but I can only assume it would have been too difficult and probably agonizing to keep plucking the actors' eyelashes, so I kinda chalked it up to suspension of disbelief.

Hm, I guess they'd have to bleach his eyelashes or put on fake ones, if it's possible to hide the natural ones underneath... I don't know.

It can take much longer for eyelashes to grow back than hair on the head. I assume that's why the chose not to. Eyebrows are easily covered. There is a way to fairly painlessly pluck lashes, but they scar easily and may never grow back.

interesting, the movie i saw he had no eye lashes or any other visable hair.

must be a directors cut or something ....

When Powder and Lindsey are sitting outside at the outdoor fair, Powder looks down a couple of times and you can see eyelashes.

You can clearly see he has eye lashes, no eyebrows, but definitely has lashes. As another poster said I think it would have been agonizing for the actor if they plucked they out as there's really no way to shave them.
