Ghost in the Shell

In an establishing shot of the city, a Pan Am advert can be seen in the top left. The bankrupt airlines inclusion is a reference to Blade Runner (1982) which also had an in-film advert for them.

When Major shoots the geisha robot in the face, the robot's face is open, revealing its inner workings. The face then closes and, when next seen, the impact patterns from the bullets smoothly cross the seams of the closed face which they would not do if the face were shot when open.

The title appears on screen twice. Once during the creation of the Major and again at the end of the opening credits.

Middle Eastern releases of the film have the Major's thermal optic camouflage suit recolored black.
