Other mistake: When Brando, Norton and DeNiro are at the table, DeNiro accepts the job and tells Norton the stipulations. When they first begin talking the ashtray on the table is empty, but when Norton is telling his story there is a book of matches in the ashtray, then later they are gone again. Notice, none of the three characters smokes.

Directed by: Frank Oz
Starring: Robert De Niro, Edward Norton, Angela Bassett, Marlon Brando
Factual error: The customs warehouse guards are carrying guns. Canadian custom guards do not carry guns at any time.
Trivia: Most of the conversations between Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando are improvised.
Question: During the sequence in the vault, De Niro uses a kind of torch. This torch emits sparks and is powerful enough to cut steel but is small enough to take with him. Is there such a torch? And if so what does it use for heat?
Answer: More than likely its a plasma cutter. I am not sure what it uses for heat but I know its a common welding tool used in motorcycle and car shops. You can see one being used on Monster Garage on Discovery all the time.
No... That's a Thermite or Thermic lance. It melts steel nice and clean.
Answer: It's called a thermic lance.
