Plot hole: We see the team steal roughly $163,000,000 dollars via a phony SWAT team. Six disguised SWAT members go down and eight SWAT members (now including Yen and Linus) come up with the money hidden in duffel bags and load it into their fake SWAT truck and drive off. The problem? $163 million in hundred dollar bills weighs nearly 3600 pounds. That would require each man to carry 450 pounds of bills up the elevator and across the casino floor at an brisk pace. Just lifting that much weight off the ground would be impossible for all but an advanced power lifter, but we see the eight (which includes a 100 pound gymnast and a geriatric) pick it up and walk out with ease.

I watched this movie on Netflix.
A really fun and solid heist movie. It's become a classic for a reason. The chemistry between the cast is amazing and things unfold in a very well told way.
Sure there's some things you need to have suspension of disbelief to get into but that's with most movies.
Twists, turns and throughlines in a very well crafted film. Danny Ocean was the role George Clooney was born to play.
A story about how 11 men come together, lead by Mr. Ocean, to knock off three casinos at once and settle a personal score between Ocean and the owner of the casinos who stole his wife.

Trivia: The order in which people left the fountain was completely improvised - Steven Soderbergh just told the actors to leave in whatever order they felt was right.
More questions & answers from Ocean's Eleven
Answer: The implication, from the context of the full conversation, is that these are all names for specific types of cons. The Boesky, for example, may refer to Ivan Boesky, a Wall Street trader who served a prison sentence for an insider dealing scam. A Boesky is therefore an inside man claiming to be a wealthy bankroller. A Jim Brown is the confrontation between Linus and Frank, Miss Daisy is the getaway vehicle, two Jethros are the Malloy twins, a Leon Spinks is the disrupted boxing match, and an Ella Fitzgerald refers to the looped tape.
