- The 8-bamboo Rachel discarded, to give Eleanor the winning Mahjongg hand, was also a winning tile for Rachel. This was was why Eleanor looked shocked when Rachel had turned over her hand.
- The film was shot at locations in Kuala Lumpur; Langkawi and Penang, Malaysia; and in Singapore.
- The song, Yellow, covered by Katherine Ho, sounds similar to Demi Lovato's This is Me in Camp Rock.
- The novel's publication, in June 2013, caught the attention of Nina Jacobson, while she was completing The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. However, Jacobson said she was fortunate to acquire the film rights to it, after the a deal attempt between Kevin Kwan and the first bidder Wendi Deng (shortly before her divorce from Rupert Murdoch), failed to materialize. It had taken them nearly three years to find a proper script and a studio to finances 75 percent of the budget and this was before production could start.
- Most of the scenes were filmed in Malaysia, instead of their supposed locations. The list includes: London (opening scene in "The Calthorpe Hotel"), New York (Lecture theatre, Cake and Carry restaurant), Singapore (bible study house, First Class cabin, the grandmother's mansion, airport hangar, the mahjong house, the economy class cabin), and International Waters ( where the bachelor party was held).
