The three brothers are named after Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, and Jack Nicholson.
In order to achieve a constant limp while filming, Owen Wilson placed a small lime in his shoe.
The train scenes were filmed inside a moving train travelling from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer and through the Thar desert. Nothing could be fixed to the ceiling, and filming equipment couldn't be more than a meter out of the windows. Writer and director Wes Anderson and production designer Mark Friedberg went to the Northwestern Railways company and told them they needed ten rail-cars and a locomotive, which they would redecorate entirely and then move around their railway. Northwestern Railways had never gotten such a request, and though it took a lot time and effort, it was eventually granted.
Writer and director Wes Anderson said that the film was partly inspired by The River (1951). He also said he owes a debt of gratitude to Martin Scorsese for screening the film personally for him. Anderson also drew inspiration from Satyajit Ray's films and Louis Malle's Indian documentaries.
Natalie Portman travelled to Jodhpur, India, for 30 minutes of shooting, then spent ten days exploring India.
"Jack: What did he say? Peter: He said the train is lost. Jack: How can a train be lost? It's on rails."
"Rita: What's wrong with you? Jack: Let me think about that. I'll tell you the next time I see you."
