* AngstAversion: Part of the lukewarm reception to ''Shin'' came from it being much bleaker than previous works in the ''Kamen Rider'' franchise, having a [[GreyAndGrayMorality morally grey]] setting and ending on a very tragic note.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: During Shin's battle with Goushima near the film's climax, there's a shot where the former punches the latter in the stomach. The camera's angled low enough that for a few frames, you can spot that Goushima's suit actor isn't wearing the suit's mask, with his face clearly visible!

An uncaring, heartless BadBoss to his employees, Himuro considers those who refuse to cooperate with his projects as his own enemies, and has them either assassinated or imprisoned. Using his facility as a front for human experimentation, Himuro plans on obtaining financial gain through the mass production of super soldiers to be sold to the military industry. Forcing Shin's father to continue the research after having his former partner "resigned", Himuro denies his permission to not get his son involved, explaining that it was "too late for that".
