While Shanghai Knights contains many anachronisms and historical inaccuracies, the writers say they were intentionally put in to make the movie more fun. This is consistent with the choices of music in the film, mostly early classic rock hits from the 1960s. Classic rock is so ingrained in the film, that when Owen Wilson's character dreams of his future children, he calls them "Vera, Chuck, and Dave," as in the song "When I'm Sixty-Four" by the Beatles.

Wu Chow (Donnie Yen) is introduced as the Emperor of China's younger bastard brother. The historical Emperor at this time was the fifteen-year-old Guangxu.
Historically the tenth in line to the throne of England in 1887 was Queen Victoria's granddaughter, Princess Victoria Melita of Edinburgh.
Arthur Conan Doyle was not knighted until much later in his life. Also, he was a physician, not a police officer, before becoming a writer, and he had already started writing Sherlock Holmes before the date portrayed in the movie.
When Chon objects to taking shelter in a brothel, Roy quips, "what are we going to do? Check into the Savoy?" The Savoy Hotel was not built until 1889.
Jack the Ripper was not active until 1888.
The plot to eradicate the Royal Family at Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee is based on an Irish nationalist plot planned for the same time; however, the nationalist plan was to blow up the Houses of Parliament, not to assassinate the Royal Family.
During one scene, an automobile is shown that is far more advanced than the rudimentary automobilies of the time.
The story also featured a young thief Charlie Chaplin, who wasn't even born until 1889.
Lord Rathbone wrongly addresses Queen Victoria, calling her "Your Highness", when speaking to a monarch whether it be male or female the spoken form is always "Your Majesty", and thereafter "Ma'am" or "Sir". He says this hastily trying to get out of the line of fire of Wu Chow who is preparing to aim and kill the Royal Family on the balcony behind the Houses of Parliament overlooking the River Thames passing Westminster, he says "I wish not to impeed your view, Your Highness". Victoria was Queen and so is styled "Your Majesty" when spoken to. Trivia
