* CareerResurrection: Creator/MichelleYeoh, for eighteen years after ''Film/CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon'', starred in flops that failed to match its huge success, with only ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' (which was merely a voice role for her) coming close. While she was gradually rebuilding her name on TV [[Series/StrikeBack with]] [[Series/MarcoPolo several]] [[Series/StarTrekDiscovery shows]] in TheNewTens, this film was the biggest work she signed up for in years. Upon becoming her most successful hit since ''Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'', the movie not only renewed Yeoh's name among audiences, but also led to more substantial roles in blockbusters like ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' and ''Film/EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce''.

* DarkhorseCasting: Creator/MichelleYeoh and Creator/KenJeong are the only actors who are recognized internationally. Constance Wu, Jimmy O. Yang, and Harry Shum Jr. may be recognizable to TV audiences (for their roles in ''Series/FreshOffTheBoat'', ''Series/SiliconValley'', and ''Series/{{Glee}}'' and ''Series/{{Shadowhunters}}'', respectively). Creator/SonoyaMizuno and Creator/GemmaChan's filmography are composed of supporting roles while the most of the cast are from Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. The casting though, was so successful that the cast of ''Crazy Rich Asians'' will be getting the Hollywood Breakout Ensemble Award at the 22nd annual Hollywood Film Awards.

* DevelopmentHell: The film's SleeperHit status quickly led to the greenlighting of follow-up ''China Rich Girlfriend'', possibly filmed back to back with the third, ''Rich People Problems''. However, the project hit snags when co-writer Adele Lim left in a pay dispute, and the director and actors got busy with other commitments, and has yet to enter production.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: An unusual case. Kevin Kwan's family left Singapore in the eighties, so some of the references he makes are quite dated - for instance, in a footnote for the first book, he writes that the Chinese name for Southeast Asia, "Nanyang", is also the name of a Mandarin-speaking Singaporean academy. While this was true of the original Nanyang University, it has since merged with another college to form the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanyang_Technological_University Nanyang Technological University]], which is an English-speaking institution with a diverse student body.
