* ColbertBump: A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5qyiBIjaiw video by oddheader]] in 2020 investigated an unknown easter egg someone found in a UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 demo disc that contained an unlisted trailer of Tetsuo when they were young and encountered others who saw the same thing. This has caused his audience to be curious enough to watch the movie.[[note]]The truth of the incident was that the DVD editor in charge previously worked for Manga Entertainment, which had the rights to Tetsuo, mistakenly added the trailer originally meant as a feature for a Gamera DVD[[/note]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: For the most part ''The Iron Man'' remains a CultClassic, it won "Best Film" in an International film festival that was held in Italy despite the fact that the dialogue was left untranslated. This was significant because Tsukamoto had a difficult time getting it screened in his home country of Japan until later after it won the award.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''Bullet Man'' was a remnant of an idea ''Creator/QuentinTarantino'' offered to Tsukamoto about writing and filming an Americanized version of Tetsuo. It was scrapped and eventually became the final product because Tsukamoto believed the concept couldn't work in a place like America.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Shinya Tsukamoto provided the voice work for Vamp in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''. He was Creator/HideoKojima's first choice of Vamp for ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' but was unavailable at the time.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Most of the filming happened at Kei Fujiwara's apartment where they decided to sleep there to save on travel costs. Tomorowo Taguchi felt that the staff would experience cabin fever if they lived in the tiny apartment over a long period of time and decided to keep his distance to protect his relationship with Tsukamoto. As he predicted, the staff started to become hostile and quit until only the actors remain. Fujiwara and Tsukamoto also got into heated arguments over creative differences and as a result, they never collaborated again after The Iron Man.
