* MemeticMutation: Similar to how the title character in [[Manga/{{Kaiji}} the source material]] has often been "Crossovered" into various DeadlyGame pieces of fiction, so too has Tatsuya Fujiwara.

** Hilariously, Tatsuya Fujiwara got his big start in acting as the main character of ''Film/BattleRoyale'', a movie about 42 school kids force to fight to the death until only one remains. Since then, Fujiwara has gone on to act in many movies about high-stakes/death games. Clearly he never forgot his roots.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the ''[[Film/DeathNoteSeries Death Note]]'' [[Film/DeathNoteSeries film series]], the characters played by Tatsuya Fujiwara (Light) and Kenichi Matsuyama (L) engaged in an intense battle of wits that caused the former's death and the latter's survival. [[spoiler:Here, Kaiji and Sahara both traverse the entire Brave Men Road, but a trap causes Sahara to fall to his death, while Kaiji barely holds on to a ledge. Looks like Light got the last laugh after all]]!

* FridgeBrilliance: Kaiji's strategy for the Brave Men Road challenge has him draw lines on people's shoes with a marker for good balance. But one might ask where he even got the marker in the first place. Well, the answer is simple: since one of his first scenes involves him vandalising cars, the marker is a cheap alternative for spray paint.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The Electric Current Steel Frame Crossing segment doesn't handle its falling scenes very well. Especially [[spoiler:Sahara]]'s death, where we can clearly tell that the background was [=CGIed=] onto a screaming man lying on a green screen.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A point of contention made by the audience was the ending, where [[spoiler:the manga's DownerEnding for Part I was not adapted, where Kaiji lost to Hyōdō in a tissue box game, created more debt for himself and was sent back to underground labour]]. They felt that this shock factor was utterly lost to have a somewhat happier ending, and come [[Film/Kaiji2TheUltimateGambler the sequel]], he still ends up in underground labour off-screen for another barely-mentioned debt.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Tonegawa's defeat at the hands of Kaiji]]. Yes, those of you who read the manga or watched the anime saw this coming, but what the movie does makes this moment amazing. [[spoiler:When Kaiji thanks Tonegawa for doing what he did, he smashes his Slave card on the table, showing him just how much Tonegawa screwed up. Those in the room realise what just happened, cutting to Kaiji's Slave card and Tonegawa's Emperor card... '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87KaufnbXzs and then Yugo Kanno's triumphant main theme]] [[AwesomeMusic plays out in full force]]''''' [[note]]Beginning at 0:59[[/note]], as the watching underground labour workers cheer. Even [[SmugSnake Taro]] can only walk away in disgust over this. Cue one of the most satisfying [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "The Reason You Suck" speeches]] Kaiji has given to an opponent, '''ever''']].
-->[[spoiler:'''Endo:''' He did it. But how?\\
''[Tonegawa hurriedly looks over the playing field, trying to speak.]''\\
'''Tonegawa:''' A Slave, why? Didn't you swap it before the blood sprayed on it?\\
'''Kaiji:''' Sorry, but no. All I did was... pull the face down Citizen and Slave cards close to me, then put a Citizen card over one, only to pull it back. In other words, I only pretended to swap.\\
'''Endo:''' He didn't swap them?\\
'''Tonegawa:''' [[ThisCannotBe Impossible! HOW COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE? WHY... WHY DIDN'T YOU SWAP THEM?]] ''[[DeskSweepOfRage (Bats some of the cards away from the table)]]''\\
'''Kaiji:''' That's easy. Because I had faith.\\
'''Tonegawa:''' ''[[StunnedSilence (Shaken)]]'' Faith?\\
'''Kaiji:''' [[WorthyOpponent Clearly, you're brilliant. Out of anyone I've ever met, you have the sharpest mind.]] [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow A man like you...]] ''(Holds up one of the blood-stained cards)'' [[IKnowYouKnowIKnow would never fail to notice this blood.
