• At one point in the movie, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) has his assistant Mr. Walsh escort Frank Catton (Bernie Mac) from one part of the casino but Mr. Walsh is immediately seen with Lyman Zelger (Carl Reiner) in the next scene in another part of the casino. - Moerose

• When Matt Damon is telling Brad Pitt about Andy Garcia's shedule you see Brad Pitt holding bowl of shrimp, then a plate of shrimp, then the bowl again, it's not really a big deal, but I thought it was odd. (DVD/Theatre) - todd

• A scene later in the movie where the SWAT team comes down the elevator shaft, all six team members drop together and land at the bottom of the shaft together. In a later scene depicting the same events one member is taking way too much time dropping. - Spiffiness

• When they are recruiting members of their team and they are interested about bringing Basher on. Pitt says to Clooney that "there may be an issue with [Basher's] availability." One could assume the reasoning for this comment is that Basher is behind bars, but he is pulling a robbery in the next scene -- and eventually meets Pitt. - Spiffiness

• When all the S.W.A.T. team members (who are really the main characters) walk out in the S.W.A.T. team clothes, Brad Pitt is carrying two bags but he moves the visor up with his left hand so he can wipe his face. - dot

• When is Hollywood going to find a US actor that can do a passable London accent ? Don Cheadle's accent traveled all over London during this film and the rhyming slang lines made me squirm. Every time he opened his mouth I thought, why don't they get an English actor. It may sound OK to you guys in the US, but to us in UK it sounds hilarious. Oh yes, I was forgetting Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones's Diary. Her accent was pretty good. - John

• (Plot holes) When the team knocks off the vault, they fill the vault (booby trapped money) and X-marked-duffel-bags with hooker flyers. How did they carry enough hooker flyers into the vault to to explode some in the vault and fill the duffel bags. Daniel, Rusty and Yen carried nothing and the imposter SWAT team only carried one smaller bag each. - Tim

• When Daniel Ocean is suppose to be beaten up by the big guy - he gets hit and tells the other guy off because he wasn't suppose to hit him yet. But when the other guy is pretending to hit Danny - he makes noises to the same volume - surely if the guys out side can hear what the big guys saying then they could have heard what Danny said. - summie

Commented Goofs

• What is the purpose of Carl Reiner's character? The only important point he served was to get the fake emeralds into the vault. Why couldn't the Chinese guy have just taken them (or the explosives they contained) in with him? - corvus13
  • Comment: Didn't Carl Reiner have to at one point pretend to have a heart attack or stroke (I'm not excalty sure what it was} so that Brad Pitt as a doctor could come into the room from where they were watching the briefcase being stored? - kyara
    • Comment: The old man had to fake a heart attack so that the 'Pee Wee Herman-looking dude' could switch the camera feeds in the elevator (where Matt Damon was) and the vault. Watch the scene, you'll see Matt Damon disappear on the monitor when the old man goes down. - Eric R.

• The bags full of porn flyers that are carried out of the vault to the van and blown up in the vault - how were they taken down there? No room with the Chinese man, and Clooney and Pitt didn't take them...
  • Comment: The hooker fliers got into the vault when the crew, dressed as a SWAT team, carried them in in bags meant to hold SWAT equipment. - sport23b
    • Comment: The bags of fliers could _not_ have been brought in by the SWAT team! Although some fliers were lying around in the vault when Benedict came in (and these could have been planted) the fliers that were in those X-ed bags were taken by security guards to the white van _before_ the SWAT team arrived. Damon and Clooney did not bring the bags with fliers in, nor was their room with the "grease-man." This is definitely a hole... - Saurabh Sanghvi
    • Addition: The hooker fliers did not go in with the swat team. The bags with the fliers were loaded out by the casino staff before the swat team was given the okay to move in. The mysterious appearance of the several hundred pounds of fliers is a huge plot flaw. How did that make it through the script? Must be some explanation somewhere as to how they got them in there, but if so it is not in the released version of the movie. - observe
  • Comment: In an interview the director admitted that this was an unexplainable happening, but didn't think that it mattered too much so never tried to explain how they got there. - jude

• When George Clooney and Matt Damon use the wires to fall safely down the elevator shaft, they are forced to cut the wires so that they will be out of the way before the power is restored. But when the power does come back mere moments later, wouldn't the dangling wires set off the motion sensors? - BLOTT
  • Comment: When Matt Damon and George Clooney cut the rappel lines to drop to the bottom of the elevator shaft, the spring-loaded cords auto-retracted when their weight was removed. Same principle as a tape measure: it can reel itself in when there is no weight to hold it out. - mmachado

• I found it upsetting that they wanted us to like these criminals, who are so heartless that they are willing to set off an electro-magnetic pulse that will shut down all electric devices for 30 seconds. I mean people with pacemakers could die, and what about people in the hospital on life support? 30 seconds may seem inconsequential, but when you take power from an entire city you risk lives no matter how short. - BLOTT
  • Comment: The electromagnetic pulse would knock out power for thirty seconds, but most hospitals are equipped with backup generators powered by diesel or other power sources. - tully
