Nick: When was it you started thinking you were better than me?
Max: My God! Let me get a look at you. You know, you look like shit. What's your secret?
Nick Wells: After this no more jobs. This is the last one I'm doing. I'm quitting for good.
Max: Yeah? How many times have you told me that in twenty-fie years. I mean, I'm gonna believe that when the pigs eat my brother, right?
Nick Wells: Nice working with you, ace. Okay, bye-bye.
Factual error: When Nick navigates through the sewer system, he checks his position using GPS. The position on his display corresponds to the middle of the North Atlantic instead of the Montreal area.
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.
