No Ending: Ed and Alphonse decide to stay in our world to keep the gate closed and destroy the Uranium Bomb, and the film just kind of stops there.Killed Off for Real: By the end of this movie, Izumi Curtis, Wrath, Gluttony, Hohenheim, Envy and Alfons Heidrich have bit the dust.In the Past, Everyone Will Be Famous: Ed ends up accidentally meeting legendary director Fritz Lang, who serves as a minor character in the story, as opposed to a cameo.Alternate!Lyra, however, doesn't know this and seems rather offended at the sight of Ed gawking at her. Since the Big Bad of the anime had been wearing Lyra's face for a good fifty percent of the series, Ed is rather shocked to see her. A lookalike of Lyra appears to serve Ed and Fritz tea at one point.Heidrich's coworkers are human versions of Greed's chimeras, and one of them bears a strong resemblance to Yoki.The Earth versions of several Amestrian characters: Fritz Lang ( King Bradley), Maes and Gracia Hughes, Alfons Heidrich (Alphonse Elric), Noa (Rose) and the two gypsies driving the truck that pick Ed and Al up at the end of the movie (Scar and Lust).I Choose to Stay: Both Ed and Al choose to stay in our world, because they are the only ones who could prevent the portal from ever being used again.Though it's subtly implied that the former was also trying to commit suicide. Heroic Sacrifice: Wrath and Alfons Heidrich.Makes sense, given that Lang was Jewish and his counterpart is basically the alternate universe version of Adolf Hitler. Ed gives him a sideways look but doesn't let on his counterpart is a genocidal war criminal dictator: King Bradley aka Pride. He correctly guesses that Ed is not a native of Earth and discusses the subject of parallel words with him at one point, wondering what his otherworldly double would be like. Historical Hilarity: Fritz Lang shows up in The Movie and acts as a genial comic relief mentor to Ed.Rudolf Hess and Adolf Hitler also show up for a few scenes.


The film ends the same way, though with Alphonse and Noah joining Ed. Bookends: After a Batman Cold Open, the film begins properly with a shot of Edward in our world, hitchhiking on a truck full of familiar characters.
