Trivia
- G4 is considered a cursed System because it will eventually kill the user, yet the suit will still move because of the AI. Many died before Mizuki was chosen to wear the suit.
- The movie is credited as being a celebration project for Toei's 50th anniversary and Kamen Rider's 30th anniversary.
- Fujioka Hiroshi appears as the Police Commissioner in the movie. He was the actor who portrayed Hongou Takeshi / Kamen Rider Ichigou in the original Kamen Rider. Agito, as a series, is the 30th anniversary of Kamen Rider.
- The movie takes place over the course of three months, so the final act probably occurs later on in the TV series than when the film appeared in theaters. (Movie released between episodes 33 and 34)
- Continuity error: Ryou has pain from transforming, even though Mana fixed them when he was brought back to life.
- The Unknown in the movie attack telepathic people as well as normal people who are associated with such people. In the TV series the Unknown attack telepathic people and their blood relatives. Perhaps these Unknown have different orders than the TV series versions.
- A random person mistakes Shouichi for Kongouji. This is a random name that Shouichi once called Hikawa, back when he was first learning his name.
- The movie features many forms that don't appear in the TV series till later. The movie was released one day before the episode when Burning Form appears. And Shining Form and Gills Exceed don't appear for many episodes after that.
Corrections
- 40:35 - change "that" into "who".
- 1:13:24 - change "withdraw!" into "retreat!".
- 1:13:26 - missed "This is dangerous." and a comma after the "continue".

A list of extended or edited scenes:

- After Taiichi says Mana and Shouichi are neighborhood nuisances, he wonders why Shouichi is learning piano. He tells Taiichi that he's doing it for his plants to help them grow better and been keeping records of this experiment. Misugi begins to realize that it's been one year exactly since Shouichi started living in his house. They decide to go out for dinner to celebrate.
- Before the G3 team meets Fukami for the first time, they have a discussion about the new member in the hallway and planning to go out for yakiniku before encountering Houjou. As usual Houjou talks down to them saying that they will be more of an actual team with the new member from the JSDF. He mentions the incident with the Unknown a month ago that had a lot of victims.
- The scenes at the yakiniku restaurant were much longer than the small scene with Omuro and Fukami. It starts off with the G3 team and Fukami. Ozawa questions Fukami and eventually begins to make remarks about her dress and not eating the meat. Then Shouichi and the others join them. Omuro and Fukami end up alone together. Misugi and Ozawa get into it since she was a rebellious student in his class once. During the Omuro and Fukami scene, there's a cutaway to Ozawa asking for another draft beer.
- When the G3 team learned that Fukami quit the following day, there was a mention of the yakiniku restaurant along with Ozawa questioning Omuro about Fukami which he blackout from drinking too much the night before.
- Before the fat guy started playing the ESP game on his phone, there's a cut of people with their cell phones all ring at once that the game appeared. Everyone except the fat guy put their phones away and continue with their business. There's also an extended cut of him playing the game before the Unknown kills him.
- When Rei says that he can't do anything without Sayaka, there's an extended cut of him stealing a drink from a guy with his powers.
- Sayaka watches Taiichi's class playing soccer before it starts raining.

- There's a cut of the middle-age guy whom Rei tries to steal from. He wins the ESP game at a restaurant and leaves immediately afterwards.
- Kouno and Houjou investigate the scene where the middle-age guy was killed by the Unknown.
- Removal of outside shots of Police HQ before Kouno asks Houjou about the ESP Quiz. These shots were moved to after Fukami kidnaps Mana.
- Extended cut of random guy who thinks Shouichi is Kongouji-kun.
- After Hikawa and Mizuki talked in the freezer, Ozawa still argues with Fukami about the G4 System and even tries to slap her at one point before she blocks her. Before leaving Fukami thanks her for the G4 System and offers to pay for yakiniku next time.
- Extended cut of Sayaka playing the piano and after she closes the cover of the piano, a guy notices Rei massaging an old man.
- Fukami has her men finish adjustments of the G4 System Prediction Ability as she receives word about locating Rei. She is pleased as Sayaka won't be too far behind.
- Mana wakes up Shouichi to inform him about Sayaka being missing comes before Sayaka finds Rei at the bridge where he was doing massages.
- Discussion between Shouichi and Hikawa about death is extended which Shouichi mentions that he thought about death but stopped since he never died.
- When Hikawa and Shouichi talked about becoming stronger by carrying the burden of death, and when Ozawa knocked on the car window after leaving the base, these two scenes are filmed from a different angle.
- After Ryou transforms into Gills, he tells Rei to get off the bike before heading towards the compound. He also fights some of the Unknown attacking the soldiers.
- After Gills Exceed defeats Formica eques Unknown, Rei appears. Gills warns him to get away and manages to scare him off before collapsing.
- Sayaka takes back her bracelet from Mana to draw away the Unknown. As she is about to get eaten, Agito in Shining Form defeats them easily.
- Mana's vision was extended. Shouichi encounters the Mysterious Young Man in the city streets with Sawaki nearby. Shouichi transforms into Agito before the scene moves to the middle of nowhere.
- Ending credit sequence has the first opening sequence from the TV series in the background instead of the second opening sequence.
The Theatrical Cut version of the movie was re-released in Blu-ray in 2009 due to Toei's decision to embrace into HD quality.
