- One of the many highly digitised Hong Kong buildings is the famous Lippo Centre, which is also featured in the Golden City track in the video racing game Burnout 3.
- The film was released almost 6 months before another film set in a dystopian future about robots - Blade Runner 2049 (2017). Blade Runner (1982) which Blade Runner 2049 (2017) is a sequel to was one of the influences behind Ghost in the Shell (1995) which this film is a remake.
- Scarlett Johansson doesn't wear a wig in the movie and it's her own hair which she dyed black and blue for the film.
- The holographic advertisements that are constantly seen in the film are not entirely CGI. Actors and stand-ins were used to perform motion capture for all of the holograms that are seen in the film.
- In the scene where the Major takes the prostitute Lia up to a room to examine her for evidence of humanity, the scene was initially longer and actually got more intimate between the two when they share a kiss before it was cut short in the editing room during post-production.
