* PragmaticAdaptation: The film makes various changes to the story due to ExecutiveMeddling causing a greater focus on Toshiaki's love story, and making some aspects LighterAndSofter to make them filmable. Toshiaki's attitude towards the humanoid Eve-1 is now one of wistful fascination and desire instead of outright revulsion as it was in the book. The order of the scenes in which Toshiaki encounters her is switched around, with the first now being the sex scene in the cultivation lab, changed from a nightmarish BodyHorror scene of [[RapeAsDrama rape]] to a surreal lovemaking scene with a lighter tone. Eve-1 outright spells out her ultimate plan when she [[spoiler:gives the address while possessing Asakura]], something deemed necessary as in this version, [[spoiler:Mariko is not inseminated]] and Ultimate Eve does not appear, which also changes the reason for [[spoiler:Toshiaki's HeroicSacrifice]] and means that the other characters who take part in the ending scene are much less worse for wear at the end than in the book.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The fire is even awfully designed for its day, not appearing anything like fire or flames actually look. Even contemporary music videos were better at depicting CGI fire at the time.
