* HistoricalInJoke: The movie has many historical characters and references to the events and culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (the rise of impressionism, the inventions of light bulb and aeroplane).
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Lord Kelvin. The real Lord Kevlin was a physicist responsible for formulating the first and second laws of thermodynamics, discovering the concept of absolute zero temperature (and getting the resulting scale named after him to boot), and many other worthy scientific achievements. He received his knighthood for his work on the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable, including several inventions used in the project. The film turns him into a sniveling, conniving backstabber who attempts to stop Phileas Fogg out of little more than professional jealousy.
