In Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and a couple other movies I remember scenes where someone lends a hand if you will.
The big problem with these fake severed hands is that the fingers are usually outstretched and set apart.
That's a good way to mold someone's hand to make a fake hand but a real hand's finger's muscles are up in the fore arm attached to tendons since muscles on the fingers themselves would make them too thick. Outstretched and set apart fingers requires muscular action.
A real severed hand is likely to have the fingers curled inward.
So, just adds to the hilarity when Dr. Frankenstein is trying in vain to put his severed hand with outstretched fingers into a rediculously overlong forearm stump.

(as much as I love the films and Udo Kier's performance in them)
