* Jane ''never'' approves of Johnny's "plan" to negotiate with the corporation and Yakuza. She even chews him out when Johnny arranges to meet the bad guys at the LoTeks' headquarters. Knowing that she never liked this idea and is supposed to be "old friends" with the LoTeks, why didn't she ever warn J-Bone that the Yakuza would be coming to the bridge and should prepare for an attack on their headquarters? Why is it suddenly a big surprise to everyone when the Yakuza finally arrive looking to kill all of them and blow up their base with a rocket launcher? Assuming Johnny was supposed to have some "grand scheme" up his sleeve when telling them to meet him at the bridge, why didn't ''he'' inform the LoTeks of it, either?

* Shinji shoots {{spoiler|Takahashi}} in the back during the movie's climax. This is done in a way to suggest that the bullets are so powerful that they go straight through {{spoiler|Takahashi's}} torso and exit his chest. The effect looks really cool, but ''Johnny is standing right in front of {{spoiler|Takahashi}} when he's shot''. Why didn't those powerful bullets that exited his chest not continue to travel forward (as rational physics would suggest) and hit Johnny?

** Possibly they deflected off a rib or something on their way out and went wide.
