* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film reveals the time of its creation right off the bat, and not just with its [=Y2K=]-era soundtrack and style. It opens with Richard describing [[HolidayInCambodia Southeast Asia]] as a place where "dollars and Deutsche Marks get turned into counterfeit watches and genuine scars". Two years later, Germany would retire the Deutsche Mark as its currency upon the introduction of the euro. A later scene also has Richard imagining that he is in a video game -- specifically, a UsefulNotes/PlayStation 1 game, complete with a filter designed to make the film resemble the blocky, primitive 3D graphics of the time. The closing scene takes place in an internet cafe with a long row of [=G3 iMacs=], a computer whose bubble-like design was then on the cutting edge of TheAestheticsOfTechnology but which is now seen as a time capsule of early '00s computing (Apple itself moving on to [[EverythingIsAnIPodInTheFuture its more famous aesthetic]] not long after). Finally, Sal's effort to keep her island paradise a secret could only have worked in the time before smartphones capable of remotely uploading pictures directly to social media became the norm; notably, Françoise is seen using a disposable camera in one scene, while Richard makes a call on a pay phone. The last point [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools arguably makes Sal even more]] of a TragicVillain, as a modern-day viewer knows, with the benefit of hindsight, that her island will eventually be discovered and exploited by the outside world despite all her best efforts.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/Ewan[=McGregor=] was Creator/DannyBoyle's first choice to play the part of Richard. The studio wanted Crator/LeonardoDiCaprio and cast him before Boyle could intervene. While McGregor blamed the studio, he didn't speak with Boyle for many years, and admitted in an interview that he felt betrayed at the time. Happily, in 2015, McGregor and Boyle made amends and are now on good terms.
