Added DiffLines:

* FairForItsDay: The book's protagonist, an Englishman, falls in love with and marries an Indian princess. Although Verne describes her as fair-skinned and notes that her English is perfect, most likely as an excuse to make the pairing more acceptable to his 19th century audience, featuring an interracial marriage at all is still progressive for its time period.

Added DiffLines:

* SignatureScene: The story is unusual in that its most iconic scene, Fogg travelling by hot-air balloon, does not actually occur in it, despite often being depicted on the book's cover. Virtually all adaptations to date have included a balloon scene, also.

Added DiffLines:

* CommonKnowledge: In the novel, Fogg does not travel by hot-air balloon at any point. Despite this, he does so in practically all of the adaptations, and when Creator/MichaelPalin did his journey, he did so even though he [[AllThereInTheManual pointed out in the book of the series]] that Fogg had not actually used that mode of transport.

* AudienceColoringAdaptation: In the novel, Fogg decides against traveling by balloon as too risky and impractical. However, since the 1956 film, the image of Fogg and company traveling in a gas balloon is indelible to the public image of the story. To the point that a brand of crisps is named after Fogg and features an illustration of him in a balloon pointing towards exotic new tastes.

Fogg's response to the apology is to punch the policeman in the face so hard that it knocks him to the ground. Knowing the full circumstances, everyone admits that Fix deserves it, including Fix.

The characters were not aware of the extra day they had won until the end of the book, so that isn't really a problem.


* FridgeLogic: one of the problems when they reach New York is that, when they arrive to the port, the ship they had planned to take in order to reach London has already departed. However, if they had won one day by crossing the International Day Line, shouldn't they have arrived with at least one day to spare?

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Passepartout rescuing Aouda by standing in for her husband's corpse. Let's assume he was a really good actor.
** And refusing to help Fix after the detective reveals his suspicions: "I have been, am, in his service. I have seen his generosity and goodness; and I will never betray him - not for all the gold in the world. I come from a village where they don't eat that kind of bread!"
** Climbing under a train being attacked by Sioux Indians to detach the locomotive. Also, Aouda defying the expected {{Neutral Female}} role by taking up a gun and scoring several good hits, and Fogg organizing several soldiers to find Passepartout and the other captured passengers.
** Fogg silently knocking Fix down with one punch and leaving, upon being released from jail.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: A violent riot in San Francisco turns out to just be [[spoiler:the election of a justice of the peace.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: When Fogg, Passepartout, and Aouda arrive in America, this passage proceeds:
-->Passepartout, in his joy on reaching at last the American continent, thought he would manifest it by executing a perilous vault in fine style; but, tumbling upon some worm-eaten planks, he fell through them. Put out of countenance by the manner in which he thus "set foot" upon the New World, he uttered a loud cry, which so frightened the innumerable cormorants and pelicans that are always perched upon these movable quays, that they flew noisily away.

unfortunate implications need citations


* UnfortunateImplications: At one point an Indian widow is described as "almost as beautiful as a European."
** Not Verne's fault, however. This phrase only appears in one creaky old BlindIdiotTranslation (which, unfortunately, is still the only one most English speakers know). The original French phrase is "blanche comme une Européenne", "white as a European (woman)".

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The series was aired in the USSR nearly every summer (without several episodes, though). It is still frequently rerun in some ex-USSR countries.
* ItWasHisSled: The novel is just as famous, if not more, for the ending twist than for its actual plot.



* HeyItsThatVoice: From [[WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays the Australian cartoon]], Phileas Fogg is [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman Alfred Pennyworth]] and Belinda Maze is [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Judy Jetson.]]
