Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film takes place between Session 22 Cowboy Funk (1999) and Session 23 Brain Scratch (1999) of the Cowboy Bebop (1998) series.
- GoofsNumerous grammatical and spelling errors on computer screens (this was a loose translation by the Japanese crew).
- Crazy creditsAfter the closing credits we are taken back to the Bebop living room. Spike naps on the couch. Spike: He was just all alone. He couldn't enjoy a game with anyone else. Like living in a dream... That's the kind of man he was... He spots a butterfly in the air and grabs it. He opens his hand. Nothing is there. TEXT: ARE YOU LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD?
- Alternate versionsIn the American theatrical release prints, a Samuel Goldwyn logo was displayed after the Destination Films logo in the beginning of the film. The logo is missing from subsequent DVD and television versions seen in the US.

Featured review
i suspect that one of the reasons that this film has such a high score is because it contains two very important words to many anime fans: 'cowboy bebop'. and thus it gets a lot of 10's. but it is because of its title that i cant give it that high a score.
this is an ok film, better then sum (spriggan) worse than others but the problem is that it is going with one of, if not the, finest series of anime ever. the characters are there but the story and the dialogue were not. and this is a real shame. eye candy is fine but there must be more to it than this, especially when compared to the epic story lines of 'real folk blues'.
its ok, but with 'cowboy bebop' that just isnt good enough.
