Mistakes

Laser beams are normally not visible, except for a small dot where they hit a surface. Even if made visible, using smoke or dust or special glasses, they are thin as threads. Obviously something more visual was needed for Toulour's dance act, hence the thick beams of light. See more...

Trivia

The scene shot in Amsterdam Central Station was actually shot at the Haarlem train station. Dutch Railway officials didn't allow the interference of trains schedules on such a crowded station, since they're fined by the Dutch government for every delay. Haarlem is much quieter a station and just as beautiful a location. Also the Europol headquarters are in fact the Hague's City Hall. See more...

How does the Nightfox know that Ocean and the gang need $97million? He is never told, and could not have been told because only the crew know exactly how much they need. [This is a question. not a mistake.]
Edit Corrected by MasterOfAll
In the scene towards the end of the movie a man is looking at a check. On the check is written "One hundred and Eighty Nine" so on and so forth millions of dollars. The camera then pans to the numbered cash amount on the right, and it says $198 etc., among other numbers, rather than $189 etc. [You obviously didn't even watch this movie, or the first one for that matter. The "man" looking at the check is Terry Benedict. And the check is written accurately for 198 million, not 189 - both in the text part and the number part.]
Edit
When discussing the Coronation Egg robbery, Livingstone Dell tells us that the laser grid is random so they wouldn't be able to plan their moves around them. So how could the Night Fox have come up with that cool dance to get passed them? [He's adapting his moves as the laser grid shifts - it's not pre-planned.]

In Ocean's 11, Rusty has a large tattoo on his left arm that goes down to his hand and is on the back of his hand. At the beginning of Ocean's 12, when he comes home and takes his jacket off, he has some animal shaped tattoo on his arm. Later, when they are on the plane to Amsterdam and he is awakened by Matt Damon, there is a tattoo that goes down to his hand again. [The tattoo we see in present day is the tattoo he has now. The tattoo you see in the beginning of the movie is from the past, so he either got it finished, retouched, redone, or covered over. Anything he could've added/changed within the timespan the two events take place.]
Edit
In the scene just before they go to Amsterdam Saul walks out saying "I want the last cheque i write to bounce". Reuben then offers to cover his share of the money and Danny says to him "You don't have to do that". Reuben then says "Who would I talk to if your all dead?" Danny replies - "good point". Its actually a bad point because if no one covered Saul's share they would all be dead, including Reuben. [Whether it's a good or bad point is just opinion, Danny is just making conversation or has not fully understood the consequences.]

When Nightfox is moving throughout the laser beams, you can see that the beams hit him at least once. [It's impossible to tell, this whole scene is very silly but any laser beam that appears to hit him may simply be passing over him. We see it from so many angles that we don't know for sure.]

When Linus gives Tess the cushion so that she can pretend to be a pregnant Julia Roberts, the cushion is square shaped. Later, after being arrested and thrown in prison, she removes the cushion and it is now round shaped. [They go to the hotel after she is given the square cushion. When it goes to Linus, Tess, and Basher in the hotel room, Basher is adjusting the pillow under her dress. It is certainly possible that he is adjusting it because they put a round pillow from the room under her dress instead of the square one.]
Edit
Everybody seems to have an egg. In the scene where NightFox breaks through the laser security, he does so without carrying anything with him. Well if he came to steal the egg, where is the substitute egg he is going to swap with it? He is certainly not carrying one in past the lasers, nor is he carrying one out. Also, if Ocean steals the one in the backpack, and the museum knows that they have a fake, what happened to the all the fake ones? Could then the Ocean's only be charged with a minor crime since they were caught stealing a fake egg at the museum that started out fake and was again replaced by another fake one by NightFox? Confusing. [As far as the authorities are concerned, Ocean's team was attempting to steal the real egg (whether or not the museum knew it wasn't the real one doesn't matter) so they would be charged as such. As for the Nightfox's fake egg, perhaps he found out where the other fake eggs were stored (Rusty says Le Marc told them that the egg had several copies) and replaced it with one of those.]
Edit
Even if the other errors concerning the laser alarms are accepted, we were told the lasers couldn't be avoided by the team because they are designed to move randomly. So how is the Night Fox able to do this? [The Night Fox is dancing through the lasers as they move. He's moving on the fly, and he just happens to get lucky.]
Edit
Just watched the movie and I'm sure that Julia Roberts was left handed in the beginning of the movie when she was on the phone to George Clooney. Later in the movie when she is pretending to be Julia Roberts she signs her signature with her right hand and when Catherine Zeta Jones picks up on it she changes to her left hand. But she was already left-handed in the movie anyway. [Both Julia Roberts and her character, Tess, are left-handed, but in this case Tess is forgetting that the "real" Julia Roberts is left-handed as well, so signs with her right.]

When the Frenchman is going through the lasers in the Great Hall, why doesn't he just walk behind the statues where there are no lasers? [Near the end of the laser sequence you can see that the the path behind the statues is blocked.]
Edit
Catherine Zeta Jones requests that she be allotted extra man power and requests that a commanding officer sign a "Form 1077". The body of the form is in Italian, but the title of the form is in English and under the signature line, the words "signed and agreed" are in English. Obviously, this was done so that the point would be made that the officer did not sign and agree to her request.
Edit
Rusty leaves his cellular phone on a table in his hotel room. Later he tosses some pictures onto the same table beside his cell phone. When Rusty looks at the table and realizes his cellular phone is gone (stolen by Isabel ), the pictures have disappeared, also. [Isabel has taken both the pictures and the cell phone.]
Edit
After the heist in Amsterdam of the original bond note, Isabel sticks her finger in the putty where the cross-bow hit the wall, revealing white putty painted over to match the wall. In a flashback of the heist, Rusty is seen filling the hole with putty that is brown in color to match the wall. [Pitt's putty is white; we even see him painting over it.]

Early in the film it is mentioned that the interest for each of the eleven is $6 million, on top of the $160 million, which would add up to about $226 million. Benedict receives a check for only $198 million at the end. [They said a *safe* amount of interest to pay would be about $6 million each. We don't know the interest rate Benedict charged them; even Reuben doesn't know, since he asks Benedict if it's enough.]
Edit Corrected by Xofer
At the end of the movie, when Isabel walks into the poker game, her hands are empty. The camera cuts back to her and suddenly she has a glass of wine in her hand. [Rusty got her the glass of wine when he got his own drink between the shots; this scene is made up of several cuts designed to flash the scene forward a bit each time (example: we don't actually *see* most of them sit down to play cards, they're just suddenly there).]
Edit Corrected by Xofer
In certain parts of the film, the Tattoo on Rusty's arm is smudged. It is most notable at the end when he is meeting with Lemarc. [Its not smudging, it's a fading effect used on tribal art where they add a drop shadow.]
