Trivia
The red vial that Cutter gives to Dr. Ouelet to terminate the Major is labelled C11H17N3O8 which is Tetrodotoxin, the toxic compound produced by the symbiotic bacteria in pufferfish. See Wikipedia article on Tetrodotoxin.
Quotes
Dr. Ouelet:
Oxygen levels are dropping... Brain function normal... Cerebral salvage ready to proceed... Robotic skeleton prepared and waiting for brain insertion... Initiate Project 2571...
Goofs
Batou asks Major to feed the dogs for him, as he doesn't want to scare them with his new cyborg eyes - but dogs would only care that he still smells the same.
Crazy Credits
The title appears on screen twice. Once during the creation of the Major and again at the end of the opening credits.
Alternate Versions
Middle Eastern releases of the film have the Major's thermal optic camouflage suit recolored black.
