** More so before the studio-mandated changes, since originally [[spoiler:the film had no framing device, and thus any sort of hope spot for the invasion to be fought, and ended with Miles desperately screaming on the highway as the invasion was in full effect and he could do nothing to stop it.]]

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: Aside from a few changes, the film follows the plot of the book very faithfully up until Miles and Becky are hiding from the pod people. [[spoiler:In the novel, they burn the greenhouse in which the pods are grown, which convinces the pods to leave Earth. Those who had already been replaced slowly die off, while Miles and Becky start a new life together as the town returns to normal. In the film, Becky is replaced and Miles finds that the invasion is starting to spread across the country, though he is later able to convince the authorities that the pods are real and there is a chance they will be able to contain it.]]

* BlindIdiotTranslation: The movie is infamous in France for its localized title, "L'Invasion des profanateurs de sépultures"[[note:"Invasion of the grave defilers"]], which has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the movie, which contains no scene where the aliens defile the grave of anyone.
