Revealing mistake: When the ship is about to leave, in a close-up one can see the sky and clouds are a painted backdrop: no perspective at all, the clouds inches away and at waist level. (01:01:33)
Revealing mistake: In the scene out West with the buffalo, notice the car driving in the distant background.
Revealing mistake: When Passepartout is on top of the train an arrow hits him but wobbles and bounces off him revealing it's a rubber prop.
Other mistake: When they are in San Francisco, notice the pianist. The keys he presses don't correspond with the notes he's supposedly playing. It's a little bit obvious that the music was recorded in advance.
Sir Francis Gromarty: One thousand pounds for an elephant? It's outrageous! You've been diddled.
Phileas Fogg: Undoubtedly. But it's not often one needs an elephant in a hurry.
Trivia: There was no balloon in Jules Verne's book. Thank to this film, most people now can't imagine "Around the World in 80 Days" without the balloon. (Gas balloon, not a hot air balloon as most people think).
