Factual error: Tower Bridge is destroyed by the steam castle. The movie takes place in 1866 and Tower Bridge was not built until 1894.
Dr. Loyd Steam: An invention with no philosophy behind it is a curse.
Trivia: In the English dub of the film, Anna Paquin voices Ray Steam, Alfred Molina voices Edward (Ray's father) and Patrick Stewart voices Lloyd (Ray's grandfather). The three also share another connection in real-life. Paquin and Stewart co-starred in all three "X-Men" films, which were created by Marvel, and Molina starred in another popular Marvel comic-turned-film, when he appeared as the villain in "Spider-Man 2."
