- Vindicated by Reruns: The original series, in Japan. Ratings during first run were not good, and reruns were where the show really found its audience.

- Hey, It's That Voice!: the narrator for the 2010 movie is Isao Sasaki, best known for singing the Yamato theme. Among others.
- He and Analyser's seiyu both count as Remake Cameos. Incidentally, Analyzer is Genma Saotome. Also, Dr. Sado is Happosai, Okita is Inspector Zenigata, Yuki is Saeko Nogami, and Aihara is Kakugari. (There are quite a few Yamato references in Urusei Yatsura by the way.)

- Steven Tyler of Aerosmith wrote and performed "Love Lives" for the 2010 movie. It should be noted that he and Takuya Kimura are actually good friends, having appeared together in a photobook published in Japan, and Steven sent a video message to Takuya to commemorate the movie's premiere.
