* HilariousInHindsight: In [[Film/ThePrisonerOfZenda the 1937 film]] of ''Literature/ThePrisonerOfZenda'' Creator/RonaldColman plays the main character while Creator/DavidNiven has a supporting role. Fast forward to this film, and Niven plays the main character while Colman has [[TheCameo a short cameo]] as a railway official. In a case of amusing irony, Colman's character in ''Around the World'' is indifferent to the inconvenience Niven suffers, while Niven's character in ''Zenda'' is one of Colman's most loyal supporters.

* AudienceColoringAdaptation: In the novel, Fogg decides against traveling by balloon as too risky and impractical. However, since the 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.
