Notes
- This movie features the first appearance of new forms Exceed Gills and Agito Shining Form, they would soon after debut on the series in episodes 37 and 39 respectively.
- Having first released in theaters only a day before the airing of episode 34, which debuted Agito's Burning Form in the series, it technically featured the first appearance of Burning Form as well.
- Though not stated to be his original role, Takeshi Hongo, Hiroshi Fujioka's appearance as the MPD Superintendent General here was his first in the flesh appearance in a Kamen Rider Series production since the Kamen Rider Stronger TV special All Together! Seven Kamen Riders!! (1976), his appearance here is an homage as 2001 was the 30th anniversary year of the franchise. He would later reprise his role as Kamen Rider 1 vocally in the 40th anniversary film OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders (2011) before finally returning as Takeshi Hongo in the film Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai (2014) and Kamen Rider 1 (2016).
- This is the first Movie to feature a Movie Exclusive Rider, as from then on, many Kamen Rider movies would adapt this concept.
Toei Company celebrating its 50 years of entertainment.
- This film opens with a credit stating the movie was made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Toei Company (which was founded in 1950).
30 Years of Kamen Rider.
- Another credit follows immediately afterward stating the film is also a Kamen Rider 30th Anniversary work.
- The film features a product placement plug for the American fast food restaurant chain Wendy's. A few scenes in the film features the restaurant prominently and has Shouichi, Mana and Sayaka eating there. The camera even starts the scene on a close up shot of a customer eating the food so viewers could see the label.
Errors
- When Ryo transforms into Kamen Rider Gills for the first time in the movie, the image of Gills does not line up with where he is standing.
- One of the Ant Lords that Agito Flame form fights is a damaged costume that has a gash on the seat of the pants section of the suit. This is visible as its back is facing towards the camera.
- Before G4 uses the Gigant, he connects the power cable to his belt to activate the launcher. When the Gigant fires the missiles, G4's power cable is somehow no longer connected to the belt.
