Continuity mistake: When Fogg meets the character played by Rob Schneider, Rob says "Now, your stink is your most powerful weapon..." while pointing with his fingers. When it cuts to Fogg you see Rob's hands suddenly appears on Fogg's shoulders.
Continuity mistake: When Passpartout is making hot tea, he throws the water into Fix's crotch. A few minutes later, when Fix is looking back at Passpartout, his pants are fully illuminated and are dry.
Continuity mistake: After Passepartout has written the letter to his father, he picks up the jaded Buddha. He is startled by the phone ringing, drops the Buddha, and catches it with its head pointing down. When it cuts, its head is pointing up instead. (00:12:00)
Passepartout: I'm your new valet.
Phileas Fogg: Uh... I must commend the valet service on their impeccable foresight. But they know I only accept French valets.
Passepartout: Yes. Oh! Oui! Oui! I come from a long line of French valets. On my father's side. Very, very French.
Phileas Fogg: But your accent.
Passepartout: My father French. Never speak. My mother Chinese and never shuts up. All the children pick up her accent.
Trivia: The man that punches Phileas when he attempts to beg for money is the director Frank Coraci. (01:22:20)
Question: Is there any reason why Passe-partout and the Wright Brothers don't appear together? Were the filmmakers afraid people would get confused and think they were watching "Shanghai Noon"?

Answer: Might be. But most unlikely. Many actors who have played in the same movies often "bump" into eachother in other movies as well. The most reasonable explanation that Passepartout doesn't meet up with the Wright Brothers is that his character is not needed in the scene between Fogg and the Wright Brothers.
