Passepartout is covered in green paint, climbs into the balloon basket and without any cleaning implements the paint is gone.
When the Buddha is returned to the shrine, joss sticks can be seen burning in front of it when it is viewed from behind. They disappear in shots from the side and front.
Passepartout gets only one hand dunked in green paint. However, in the next shot, both of his hands are covered in green.
Fogg becomes drunk goes into a house, collapses, gets up and is suddenly sober.
When Passepartout jumps off the wall on to the bags of "flower" as he is chasing the hot air balloon's rope, he knocks off a bag but when the others jump over, the bag is back on the pile.
After Fogg and his companions have been launched from the paddle-ship and start to descend from their initial impetus, a rainbow can be seen below and in front of them. However, the sun is to their left; a rainbow cannot be formed in that location - it should be off to their right.
The statue of a "Jade Buddha" isn't in fact a statue of Buddha, but a statue of Hotai (or Budai in pinyin).
Arthur Conan Doyle was not an officer in Scotland Yard, he was a doctor.
A telegram from Passepartout is transmitted from London to India to his father in English, but his father doesn't speak English so wouldn't be able to read it. However, a Chinese translation can be seen below the English.
After Fogg and his companions have been launched from the paddle-ship, the captain asks; "How are we going to get back?". Yet the paddle-ship has sails. The ship HAD sails but was dismantled for the construction of the flying machine. No sails are left intact as shown by a wide shot of the ship on day 80.
On the paddle-ship on the Atlantic, the paddles are turning and some of the sails are also unfurled. However, if the wind was having any effect it would have to be going faster than the ship. In that case the smoke from the smokestack should be blown forward, in the direction of travel. In fact it is shown going sideways or even backwards; this implies that the sails are actually causing a drag on the ship, slowing it down.
When they are climbing out of the manhole in France, the
manhole cover is clearly not cast iron as it moves with ease when Fogg bumps against it.
When Passepartout and Inspector Fix are being attacked by the Chained Agent in India, one of the shots show the agent bursting through a wall. The remains of the wall are clearly not clay or sandstone, but instead something along the lines of plasterboard or cardboard.
The Overland Stage Company went out of business in the 1860s so could not have been used. The transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869 so would have been used instead.
When the train Fogg and company are riding on stops, it shows they have arrived in Istanbul. However, the movie takes place in the 1800s, and Constantinople did not become Istanbul until 1930.
In the opening shot, Big Ben is shown on the south of the Thames, when it should be on the north.
When Fogg and companions escape the gallery in France where they encountered the men searching for Passepartout and exit through the manhole to the balloon scene, the movie still clearly portrays them as being in France. However, the actual location of the Balloon scene and the palace in the background is Schloss Charlottenburg, a palace in Berlin, Germany.
Phileas Fogg arrives in London a day earlier than he initially thinks, due to having forgotten about the day gained when crossing the International Date Line. However, it seems quite implausible that he completed the entire second half of his journey without ever learning of the correct date, not to mention that he would've needed to know the date of the transatlantic steamer's departure.
