* Oslak's first appearance, where he's not wearing his mask. He's wearing tons of thick black eyeliner, which comes off as if he's trying to imitate Creator/MarilynManson...and failing.

* The epic sword battle between Zardoz and Steve, which in the anime occurred in a winter tundra (to be fair, the Philippines is a ''tropical'' country where it doesn't snow), happened in a nearby park playground in the live-action version. You could even see the brightly colored playground walls in several shots.

* Dokugaga, Dainegu, and Zoldier's battles are undeniably awesome, but before Voltes V deals the final blow the three Beast Fighters are just... staring motionlessly and waiting for it to happen instead of attempting to dodge or block. It comes off as oddly comical.[[note]]Although it was the rebuilt Zoldier who stood still compared to its previous self who got caught off guard by Voltes V dodging its jousting charge and attacked from behind, unable to dodge or turn around in time to defend itself.[[/note]] Bombos gets the pass because it was created deliberately weak to draw out Voltes V by attacking a city and make an EnemyScan on their Volt Machines in the middle of their Volt-In sequence to send the results to Zuhl before it willingly bites the dust.
* The moment when Draco dramaticaly announces the Beast Fighter's name as [[XtremeKoolLetterz "Zoldier"]] and supplementary material spells it out as such. So the Boazanian ConLang just happens to look like English with "Xtreme" spelling now?
** The change of Baizanga to "Vaizanger" and Suneizaa into "Zunaizer" may also qualify.
* The scene where Jamie laments being stuck in a love triangle between Steve and Mark. It consists of her crying while sad music plays, complete with slowed-down montages of both boys, before going back to her sobbing face. And then there's [[https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Jamie_Robinson_(Voltes_V:_Legacy)?file=Jamielovetriangle.png this]] cheesy shot.
* Mark forcing Steve into a fistfight because Steve told Jamie he liked her. Intended to be a serious dramatic moment, the whole thing instead becomes unintentional comedy thanks to Mark's ridiculously over-the-top reaction, making him look like a buffoonish {{Manchild}} having a temper tantrum with Steve and Big Bert trying to calm him down.
* General Watson's death is a somber moment, but it's undercut by how, instead of slowly fading as he succumbs to his injuries, suddenly goes limp in such an exaggerated way it can come off as silly.
*Oslak's first appearance, where he's not wearing his mask. He's wearing tons of thick black eyeliner, which comes off as if he's trying to imitate Creator/MarilynManson...and failing.
*The scene where Zaki hits on Zardoz falls flat because he's way younger-looking than her, and she looks old enough to be his mother. Not helped by the other shots of Zandra looking extremely jealous.
*The love song that plays every time Steve and Jamie come close to confessing their unrequited love for one another. The first few times you hear it, it's understandable. The fifth time, you're just sick of it.
* The epic sword battle between Zardoz and Steve, which in the anime occurred in a winter tundra (to be fair, the Philippines is a ''tropical'' country where it doesn't snow), happened in a nearby park playground in the live-action version. You could even see the brightly colored playground walls in several shots.
* [[spoiler: When Jamie was shot in the stomach by a presumably disguised Eva, it was supposed to be shocking moment for the audience. [[MoodWhiplash ... And then a Palmolive Naturals commercial featuring her actress Ysabel Ortega pops up]].]] The Palmolive Naturals Hair Bounce Check has become notorious in the fandom, as it keeps appearing at dramatic climaxes in later episodes.
* The four-headed hydra Beast Fighter Zunaizer's roars are very obviously the call of the Mighty Eagle from ''VideoGame/AngryBirds''.
* Zardoz's helmet while he's in Godor, for heavily resembling [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Slowking]].
** Earlier, his jump into Godor's blue flame. While the anime has a psychedelic sequence of him being beamed through a neon tunnel of light, here he ''slowly'' falls into the flame, flailing his arms like he's swimming, and suddenly just wakes up inside the cockpit.

* Zairus's defeat where it's bisected vertically by the Laser Sword: the two halves awkwardly peel apart and then somehow balance upright at a slanted angle for a few seconds before blowing up. However, the cut halves of the bisected Beast Fighter briefly form a V-shape, making a creative twist on the characteristic V-Slash finishing move.
