Michael Crichton wrote the part of Connor with Sir Sean Connery in mind.
The Sempai and Kohai relationship is touched upon during the movie, however there were a couple of problems. In Japan, "Sempai" is often used as an address and as a show of respect to one's superior. "Kohai", on the other hand, can be considered offensive when used to address an individual directly, as it is "putting someone in his place." Hence Captain John Connor (Sir Sean Connery) effectively insults Lieutenant Webster Smith (Wesley Snipes) throughout the movie. Given that Connor is supposed to be well versed in Japanese customs, this action should be taken very seriously. "Kohai" is normally used as a reference, not an address. For example: Smith is the Kohai of Connor.
Michael Crichton and Michael Backes quit the project, largely over disagreements with writer and director Philip Kaufman, that one of the lead characters should be changed into an African-American.
The murderer's identity was changed from the book for reasons not explained by Philip Kaufman.
The character of Cheryl Lynn Austin is described in the book as a "Tatjana type" model. In the movie, she is played by Tatjana Patitz .
"John Connor: The Japanese have a saying, "Fix the problem, not the blame." Find out what's fucked up and fix it. Nobody gets blamed. We're always after who fucked up. Their way is better."
"Web Smith: Where are you from, "sempai"? Scotland Yard? John Connor: Scotland Backyard."
