Edge of Tomorrow Book vs Movie
| In the Book |
In the Movie |
|
Rita's main weapon is her 200 kilogram battle axe; uses it to cut through the Mimic's exoskeleton. She cordinates her ground attacks with air strikes; attacks by running amongst the surviving the Mimics and cutting them apart. |
Rita is rarely shown using the axe, she is seen for the most part on the battle field being led around by Cage trying to find a way to escape. |
|
Sgt Ferrell Bartolomé is Brazilian/Japanese and teaches Kiriya about Japanese culture and history. He is very devoted to he welfare of his troops. He trains Kiriya several hours each loop and allows him to fight along side Rita. |
Master Sgt Farrell is Causasian. He has no effect on Cage's development as a soldier.
|
|
Rita's Jacket armor is painted all crimson so that she will stand out on the battle field. She uses a rifle and 200 kilogram battle axe made from armor plate. |
Rita's armor has a small red design on the breast plate. She uses a small axe which appears to be a helicopter blade. |
|
Kiriya talks Shasta into trading Rita's spare battle axe for memory unit used to repair Rita's Jacket. |
Cage does not use an axe in the movie.
|
|
Rita acts with autonomy on and off the battle field. She is revered by the troops and inspires them wherever she goes, especially in battle. She hates the color red, but uses her all red armor to stand out on the battlefield. |
Rita is respected as a soldier but is mocked with her full-metal-bitch nickname. She is treated by some as a hero but shows no heroics on the battlefield (it all goes to Cruise's charactor). |
