==Errors==
*The colorization used in the TV series during scenes in Wonder World is not used in the film.
*When Bahato first speaks to the Riders, his first line is noticeably ADR despite the next shot of him speaking on camera. 
*Most likely for theatrical purposes, the "Battou" portion of Touma, Rintaro, and Kento's transformation jingles play well after they have pulled their Seiken out of their Swordrivers.
*During Tetsuo's transformation sequence into Kamen Rider Slash Hanselnuts to Gretel, the Onjuuken Suzune Gun Play Mode sound was used rather than the Sword Board Mode sound.
==Notes==
*Count at Movie end

While no Movie War between Saber and Zero-One was ever produced, both characters (with Naito and Takahashi reprising their roles) would officially meet for the first time in .
