      • Trivia
        A Basset Hound recurs several times in the film: in a commercial, on the street in flyers on the wall, in the garbage man's picture. The Basset Hound actually has no significance symbolically or thematically. The director just likes Basset Hounds.
      • Goofs
        When the Section 9 members discuss about the "host shell" female cyborg, there's a shot with the brain hologram out of focus in the foreground. In this shot, the original (1995 movie) hologram is shown, instead of the new CGI one.
      • Quotes

        Batou: Chief, you ever question the ethics of the neurosurgeons who monkey around inside your brain?

        Section 9 Department Chief Aramaki: They undergo psychiatric evaluations, especially those in security. They're subjected to a stringent screening of their personal lives. Of course, the ones who check are only human.

        Batou: I guess once you start doubting, there's no end to it.

      Why does this even exist?

      Honestly, just watch the original.

      This "2.0" movie is legit just the same movie, with some cgi scenes sprinkled in. It just comes across off, and a waste of my 5AUD to rent this movie on Prime.

      Most of the movie is just the original, with different sound samples and original voices. The random bits of cgi I found quite off putting. If you can't find the original, then watch this simply for the storyline. Since this movie is pretty much the same, you'll have that in this movie, and the story line is awesome.

      This movie will constantly switch between original artwork and cgi in some chapters, so if that is going to annoy you, then you should skip this movie and pretend it doesn't exist.
