There are several references to Sherlock Holmes in this movie. One of them is that the "bad guy" is named Lord Rathbone. Basil Rathbone was one of the first actors to play Sherlock Holmes in a movie.
When Artie Doyle tries to break the lock of Madame Tussaud's, Roy compares his work to that of a surgeon. This is probably a reference to the fact that the real Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a physician, even though in the movie he's a detective.
Lord Rathbone in the movie is referred to as "the finest swordsman in England". Basil Rathbone was the star of many swashbuckler movies, and was considered the finest swordsman on the silver screen.
This movie marks the first on-screen battle between Jackie Chan and Donnie Yen, who have had success in Hong Kong, but had never fought each other before on-screen.
When Chon Wang (Jackie Chan) and Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson) are entering the Jubilee party, the string quartet plays an uncredited baroque version of the Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black" (just before the piece by Boccherini).
"Prostitute: [trying to woo Roy] I'll give you a discount. Roy: That's the most romantic thing a woman has ever said to me."
"Roy: Hey, Rathbone! I was just thinking of a title for my new book. "Roy O'Bannon vs. Little Lord Sissy." Or how about "Roy O'Bannon versus the Man who would be Queen?""
