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.

In the opening shot, Big Ben is shown on the south of the Thames, when it should be on the north.

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 Eiffel Tower, which can be seen on the Paris cityscape, was not built yet in 1872.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The story takes place in 1872.

The Statue of Liberty was not even under construction in France at that time.

The first part to be completed, the torch, was shipped to America in 1876.

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.

At the beginning when Passepartout escapes the bank where he robbed the Buddha, he can be seen wearing a beard, but later, being chased by the police, he gets into a moving carriage, as he goes out of it, the beard is gone, which would be impossible given the short time that has passed and considering that it wasn't that easy to shave at the beginning of the century.

It's mentioned at the Academy in discussing a voyage around the World that "one could take the Orient Express.

" The first Express d'Orient did not start running until 1883.

It ran Paris-Strasbourg-Munich-Vienna-Budapest-Bucharest-Giurgiu.

At Giurgiu, passengers crossed the Danube by ferry to Ruse in Bulgaria, where a second train would be waiting for the 7-hour journey to Varna on the Black Sea.

An Austrian Lloyd steamer then connected for the 14-hour sea voyage to Constantinople (Istanbul).

A guy falls out of train, and Jackie Chan looks to his left while saying "Sorry".

This gives impression that the train is moving right.

But as the camera pans out, the train is shown moving towards his left.

Wright brothers were aged 2 and 5 in the year 1872.

Whereas in the movie they are shown as being around 20+ years old.
