* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: The opening scene. Poirot is asked to identify which religious leader stole a priceless artifact among a priest, an imam, and a rabbi. He reveals the true culprit is the police inspector who hired him. The movie is basically saying that the different religions who are so often enemies can coexist in harmony, and people who might not even belong to those faiths try to incite conflict between them for their own selfish gain.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: 21st-century audiences fully expect public transportation to be crammed shoulder-to-shoulder, so Poirot has to [[MrExposition specifically point out]] that a first class train car with twelve passengers in the middle of winter in 1934 is "fully booked" and might as well have passengers spilling out the windows, meaning it's a vital clue [[spoiler:that the entire situation is engineered]]. There is some outdated slang in that by "booked" (in first class), they mean ''sleeping compartments'', and even "booked" the Orient Express is hardly crowded.
