* CompositeCharacter: Jackal shares his name with a gang leader from the manga, but his role as a henchman of Shin who gets humiliated by Ken is much closer to Spade. However, instead of merely losing an eye, his wounds forces him to wear a metal contraption to keep his head from exploding, much like Jagi.

* AdaptationExpansion: Shin plays a far more prominent role than in the source material, pretty much taking over as the [[BigBad Big Bad]] from Kens evil brother Raoh. For example the movie has him kill Ryuken which is part of Raohs [[StartOfDarkness start of darkness]] in the manga.

For example primary villain]] that Raoh had in the anime, right down to Shin killing Ryuken in the movie has similar to Raoh killing him kill Ryuken which is part of Raohs [[StartOfDarkness start of darkness]] in the manga.
* AfterTheEndAfterTheEnd: As its ''Fist of the North star'', this is a given. Even occasional rainstorms are a problem since its acid rain.

%%* YouAreAlreadyDead* YouAreAlreadyDead: Kenshiro's characteristic head explosion does happen once in this movie...offscreen, sadly. He gives movie!Zeed the Hundred Crack Fist treatment and blurts this out. The most we see, sadly, is Zeed's head bulging.
