The film does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While lead actor David Bowie's persona often explored gender fluidity, the character's 'otherness' is primarily species-based, and the narrative does not explicitly address LGBTQ+ identities or experiences.

The film 'The Man Who Fell to Earth' does not contain any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on an alien's struggle to adapt to Earth and his subsequent exploitation, without exploring gender identity in a transsexual context.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 1976 film adaptation of Walter Tevis's novel maintains the established genders of its primary characters, including Thomas Jerome Newton, Mary-Lou, and Dr. Nathan Bryce, as depicted in the source material. No characters canonically established as one gender were portrayed as a different gender in the film.

The film adapts the 1963 novel where the main character, an alien, appears human and is described as pale. The casting of David Bowie and other principal actors aligns with the implied or described racial characteristics of their respective characters in the source material.
