- Adaptation Displacement: The novel, The Magic Crane, is barely even remembered among Asian communities.
- Special Effects Failure: The magic crane looks like a papier-mache model with features glued on. Keep in mind this movie comes out the same year as Green Snake.
- Most of the special effects of this movie counts under this trope, such as the giant vampire bat, the fire-breathing tortoise, the bad CGI... the crane gets a lot of screentime though, so it gets a special mention.
- Special mention towards the demise of General Tsao, featuring the most obvious dummy in movie history.
