Continuity mistake: When Richie returns from the hospital and enters Margot's tent you can see a few toy cars by the record player. The next time you see the record player they are gone. The next time they are there. This happens continuously during the scene.
Margot: I think we're just gonna to have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that.
Trivia: Although filmed in New York, director Wes Anderson didn't want to include any of the city's landmarks, particularly its famous skyline. In the scene when Royal and Pagoda meet in the park on the waterfront (Battery Park), Anderson went so far as to place Pagoda so he blocked any view of the Statue of Liberty in the harbor.
