BUT FIRST... (8)

Before we even begin to look at the movie, the movie poster demands our attention.

OTHER STUFF

The trailer for it had a good number of bloopers and noteworthy things all it's own, which I'd previously considered listing, but decided against. They include almost every line of dialogue being spoken by a character either not being in the finished film, or being different in it, and an extra second or so of Izzy running out onto the Kamiya's balcony, which was cut from the finished version of the movie.

The VHS and DVD packging also contains a very glaring error, claiming that "a wayward Digimon captures the DigiDestined." This is part of the plot that was removed from the third movie, wherein Kokomon captured the season one DigiDestined. The packaging also claims that a "new group of DigiDestined" are involved in the Diaboromon battle, and while they're obviously referring to the season two kids, that's also just plain wrong.

FOUR YEARS LATER (50)

-"Hey, man, as far as I know, you are tip-top." - Oliver
-"Kosiro, what do you make of all this? I don't ever have an opinion." - Elizabeth
-"I've grasped that, Kosiro. All I am doing now is contemplating the 'ifs.'" - Alfred (who looks very feminine in his picture...)
-"Will you tell me something? Has this ever happened to you before?" - Dolly
-"Leave to you!" - T.J.
-"Hey Kosiro!" - Olivia
-"Don't be defeat!" - Susan
-"Hold out!" - David - like the others, this repeats, but one of the repeated uses has a different picture on it than the other two
-"Chin Up!" - the sender's name is off screen.

PRESENT DAY (43)

-Davis's jacket is a creamy brown instead of blue, his sweatbands are white instead of orange and his goggles are also slightly more angular in many scenes.
-Yolei's shirt is white instead of green (but it has the same logo on it).
-Cody's shirt is missing a couple of extra details around the collar, and his pants are blue instead of brown.
-Kari is not wearing her gloves.
-T.K.'s shirt has short sleeves instead of long.

This is also without getting into the fact that the girls on the team have been deliberately... enhanced in the chestal area. Yeah, yeah, differing art styles... sure, right. ;)

Thanks go mostly to Marc Levy for supplying all the screenshots that I couldn't find, and for discovering a few other things along the way while he was making them, like the AHCAD sign, and the mismatched clocks. :)
