- Acclaimed Flop: It was critically lauded and got 11 Oscar nominations, but only made $182 million with a budget of $150-170 million. It didn't help that the film's budget ballooned due to it being shot entirely in 3D, causing costs to spiral out of control.
- Creator's Oddball: From the man who brought you a slew of violent crime movies comes... a PG-rated family film.
- Fake Brit: Chloë Grace Moretz plays Isabelle with an impeccable British accent, enough that Martin Scorsese had no idea she was really American until later.
- Playing Against Type:
- Christopher Lee plays a perfectly nice guy.
- Sacha Baron Cohen playing comic relief with actual restrained bombast.
- Real-Life Relative: The daughters of Scorsese and assistant director Chris Surgent appear during the tea dance sequence, Ben Kingsley's son plays a cameraman, and the daughter of Producer Graham King appears at the party near the end.
- Word of Saint Paul: According to Sacha Baron Cohen in The Hugo Home Companion, the Station Inspector's injury was caused by him accidentally shooting himself in the leg.
