* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Getting a truly massive amount of emails on a 90's dial-up internet connection gives them huge amounts of internet lag which ends up contributing to [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon's=] asskicking when they can't keep up. Izzy uses it to turn the tables on Diaboromon so Omnimon can deal the death blow milliseconds before the nukes could blow.

* CatastrophicCountdown: ''"Who can count backwards from ten?"''

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Kari, TK and their Digimon go by train from New York to Colorado [[TravellingAtTheSpeedOfPlot in under a day.]]

* DemotedToExtra: Mimi and Joe get little more than cameos throughout the movie. Neither of them appear in the third segment since the subplot about the older kids being kidnapped was cut. While all the scenes of the older kids in that segment stem from right before they're kidnapped by Endigomon in ''Hurricane Touchdown'', Joe's didn't lend itself to a pithy joke (he just gets himself a drink out of a vending machine and disappears) and Mimi actually vanishes right in front of Kari and TK, which would have caused all sorts of questions for a plot thread no longer being pursued.

On July 29, 2023, [[https://twitter.com/discotekmedia/status/1685352895645188096?s=20 a full remaster and redub of all three individual movies]] was announced to be in production by Discotek Media, as well as a remaster of the original compilation movie dub itself.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: During the second part, both Tentomon and Patamon completely disappear without comment after Tai and Izzy get disconnected.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The poster depicts the characters as much more angry and aggressive that they are in the film itself or the original series.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the original Japanese versions of "Our War Game" and "Hurricane Touchdown/Transcendent Evolution", the origins of the Digi-Egg that Kuramon hatched from, as well as the virus that corrupted Kokomon, are both left ambiguous. In this movie, the Digi-Egg was created by Kokomon's tamer, Willis, but was subsequently attacked by the Kuramon virus. Sometime after its defeat as Diaboromon, the virus is then shown to be the same one that finds Kokomon.

** Similar to how all the trailers and TV ads only focused on the third segment, the front cover of the movie poster focuses only on the characters in the third segment, acting like the entire movie takes place during 02. The back of the VHS synopsis always describes a wayward Digimon kidnapping the Digidestined, which is true for the uncut third Japanese movie, but not for the American film.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: After Veemon and Terriermon respectively digivolved into Magnamon and Rapidmon, they became a lot more hammy and talkative than they were in the original. In the original, they were serious, and [[TheQuietOne talked very little]], to the point that ''they never even [[TransformationNameAnnouncement announced]] their names''.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Similar to how all the trailers and TV ads only focused on the third segment, the front cover of the movie poster focuses only on the characters in the third segment, acting like the entire movie takes place during 02. The back of the VHS synopsis always describes a wayward Digimon kidnapping the Digidestined, which is true for the uncut third Japanese movie, but not for the American film.
