Copies of the film were withheld from home video release in the United States due to the film's plot involving the bombing of a twin tower building, as the film's DVD release was not long after 9/11, which saw the bombings of the World Trade Center buildings in New York.
The first Detective Conan feature film to feature Gin and Vodka involved in the movie's plot.
There are conspiracy theories stating that the plot of this movie was meant as a warning about 9/11, as the film was released the same year that the attacks happened, and the attacks were very similar to some of the events depicted in the film, with twin tower buildings being bombed in both and the subsequent fires causing massive structural damage.
The car that Kogoro won which was used by Conan to jump from Tower A to the pool in Tower B is a 2002 Red Ford Mustang GT convertible [SN95].
Gin's Sniper Assault Rifle in the scene of him attempting to shoot Sonoko is a Colt M16A2.
