    “Ocean’s Eleven” Goofs List

    • Crew or equipment visible: The camera and operator are reflected in the narrow mirror at Reuben Tishkoff’s house as the gang discusses the robbery.
    • Continuity: In the scene where Linus and Rusty are waiting for Tess to come down the escalator, the food in Rusty’s hand changes from a schooner of shrimp cocktail, to a plate, then back to a schooner.
    • Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Virgil and Turk bump into each other in the casino and start “arguing”, their mouths don’t move. (Visible only in full screen version.)
    • Continuity: When they try to convince Reuben to join the team, the first shot from behind him shows him picking up a fork, but in the next shot his hands are gesturing in front of him.
    • Continuity: As Danny is going up the escalator in Trump Plaza, his jacket is buttoned closed. In the next shot, the jacket is open.
    • Continuity: In the race between the Big truck and the radio controlled little truck, the position of the tires relative to the start line changes between scene cuts.
    • Continuity: Chain attached to briefcase is longer when in the vault then when it is transferred to Saul. When Yen opens money cart in vault and briefcase slides off, the chain is longer and the briefcase goes a lot further over the side of the cart.
    • Continuity: When Danny leaves prison after his probation violation and meets Rusty, he is wearing the tuxedo he was arrested in and has an untied bow tie. The location of the untied bow tie changes several times.
    • Continuity: At the beginning of the transportation scene the car salesman has two pens in his jacket pocket, then he only has one in the next scene. He then shakes Frank Catton’s hand and they again show him having two pens. After he makes a deal for $16,000 they show him with only one pen. (not visible in widescreen version)
    • Continuity: When Turk is racing Virgil’s R/C truck, the raceway that they are on is a rounded track. But in shots from the back of the truck race appear, they are racing on a long desert road.
    • Miscellaneous: When they place Danny in the private room with Bruiser, they are chit-chatting at a normal volume, which leads us to believe that it is a soundproof room. However, later on when Bruiser is faking beating Danny up, they show the two guards on the outside hearing Bruiser hit is fist and make moaning sounds. If they could hear that, they would have been able to hear the whole earlier conversation.
    • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Terry Benedict asks his employee if there is anything for him (in the high rollers room), he responds that Mr. Zerga in the third position (of the baccarat game) wants to talk to him. Mr. Zerga is actually sitting in the first position originally when speaking to the other player at the table. However, when the camera pans back to look at the table it appears that Mr. Zerga is in the center of the table facing the Dealer and the other player would be in the 5th position now (He was originally sitting in the 3rd position when talking to Mr. Zerga.) In the scene where Danny meets Linus in Chicago, Danny refers to Las Vegas as “America’s Playground.” In fact, that designation belongs to Atlantic City, which was known by this nickname for many years before Las Vegas became a gambling center. Las Vegas has never marketed itself as “America’s Playground.”
    • Revealing mistakes: When Mr. Benedict tells the security guy to cut the power, you can see the power go off on the computer screen a few seconds before the security guy presses the button on the computer.
    • Continuity: When Yen back-flips onto the cabinet in the vault he over-leaps and his body goes over the edge. In the next shot, from behind the cabinet, his body is on the cabinet and his legs are over the edge.
    • Continuity: The surveillance camera in the vault changes its angle to show the ‘Bellagio’ sign only in the shot just before “Livingston Dell” switches to the recorded tape.
    • Plot holes: The DVD commentary admits that there was no way in which all the flyers that were carried out of the casino and driven to the airport could have been in the vault.
    • Continuity: Turk races Virgil’s R/C truck on a cloudy day. But as Turk crushes Virgil’s truck, we see sunshine. As Turk leaves Virgil’s truck in a crumpled heap, the sky is cloudy again.
    • Errors in geography: During the scene in which Danny explains the security of the Bellagio vault a map is displayed on the screen which shows a portion of the Las Vegas strip. It is incorrect in that it places the MGM Grand casino in the place where the Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood) casino should be. If the MGM Grand were placed in its correct position, it would be partially off the screen.
    • Factual errors: When Danny gets arrested after the heist, we see that he was sent to New Jersey Department of Corrections. However, for a “3 to 6 month” stay, he would have been held in a county/regional jail, rather than a prison.
    • Continuity: The shot before Linus pickpockets the stock broker, he is holding the pen with the tip in his mouth. But in the up close shot, he has the pen in his mouth horizontally.
    • Continuity: In the scene where Livingston tells Danny that guards will be watching him like hawks with video cameras, you can see Rueben removing the cigar and blowing smoke out of his mouth. But in the next above-shot, you can see the cigar magically appear in his mouth again and he removes it and blows out smoke again.
    • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Danny Ocean says that Nevada Gaming Commission regulations require casinos to have enough cash in their vaults to cover every cent in play on the floor. In fact, no such regulation exists.
    • Miscellaneous: When Linus opens the top of the elevator to discover Danny looking down at him, he jumps in surprise. A shot from Danny’s view shows him jumping into a corner, meaning the elevator is only as wide as the hole Danny is looking through. But when Danny pulls Linus up through the hole, a shot from inside the elevator shows that it is actually wider.
    • Factual errors: The $100 dollar bill is currently the largest US note in circulation (and has been since the sixties). One million dollars in $100 bills (10,000 notes) weighs about 22 pounds according to the US Treasury Dept web site. Therefore $160MM dollars would weight about 3,520 pounds. There is no way eight people could carry that much weight in canvas bags in one trip from the vault to the SWAT van.
    • Continuity: During Benedict’s flashback, there is a close-up of Danny Ocean dropping a cellphone into Tess’ coat pocket during an embrace. However, during the actual event Ocean’s hand never drops, holding her right arm during the entire embrace.
    • Factual errors: The explanation of the meaning of “Barney” as “trouble” (from “Barney Rubble”) is false because this cockney expression for “row” pre-dates the Flintstones cartoon.
    • Continuity: In the scene before Rusty discovers that Tess is involved, he is speaking with Linus and holding a plate of shrimp. In the next shot, when he’s witnessing Tess walk down the stairs, it’s become a shrimp cocktail.
    • Plot holes: When Bulldog is faking his beating of Danny, the shot showing the two guards outside the door implies that they can hear everything going on inside the room. If that were true, they’d have heard Danny asking about Bulldog’s family before escaping through the hatch in the ceiling.
    • Factual errors: EMPs don’t work that way, even assuming you could find one smaller than a living room. An EMP scrambles the positive and negatively charged layers of a transistor so they no longer gate an electrical impulse, effectively turning solid state devices into lumps of metal. There is no unscrambling, all electronics would be dead forever. If Las Vegas was blacked out by a “pinch” it would stay blacked out till every piece of apparatus that used transistors was replaced. Planes would fall out of the sky, hospital patients would die, it would be an act of terror dwarfing 9/11. The only electronics still working would be the kind that still use tubes – die-hard stereo fanatics (the kind that still play records) and old-time ham radio operators. Of course there’d be no electricity.
    • Continuity: In one of the scenes Pitt has a wine glass of a shrimp cocktail, and in another it changes to a plate with a shrimp cocktail whiskey glass.
    • Continuity: At the end, when the men are saying their goodbyes, we see Reuben Tishkoff leaving twice.
    • Continuity: In the scene when the casino vault’s doors were blown, Danny and Linus had their hair in a mess, but in the next shot their are perfectly combed.
    • Miscellaneous: When Yen is doing the real job you can see th
