Continuity mistake: When Cathrine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery are robbing the bank, she puts up the retinal goggles to her face, preparing to scan it into the computer. However, in the next close up shot, the face the goggles are on is not hers, it is wrinkly and the eyebrows are fuzzy and not defined.
Entrapment (1999)
Plot summary
Directed by: Jon Amiel
Starring: Sean Connery, Ving Rhames, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Will Patton
"Gin" is an insurance investigator, "Mac" is an international art thief who likes a challenge. A priceless Rembrandt is stolen from an office: Gin thinks Mac is the thief, so she is sent to investigate him.
She tries to entrap him with a proposition, to help him steal a Chinese mask from a well-guarded palace. They travel to Scotland, and plan the complicated theft.
Just after they complete it, Mac accuses Gin of planning to sell the mask, and turn him in. Gin tells him she's planned an even bigger job, and persuades him to help her rob $8 billion from the International Clearance Bank, in the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
The plan works, but they set off all the alarms, and narrowly escape. The next morning, Mac nearly hands Gin to the FBI, but has another plan to let her go, as he's getting old and she's got her life ahead of her.
Together, they then decide on a third job.

Trivia: The street that Sean Connery is parked in waiting for Zeta-Jones to leave the antiques shop, is the same one that Hagrid and Harry walked down in the Philosopher's Stone when they are heading for the Leaky Cauldron.
Question: Is it actually possible to get on to a moving train as implied in the very last scene?

Answer: Unless the train stopped, it is absolutely impossible for someone, particularly a senior man and a woman in a tight skirt and high heels, to be able to jump onto a moving commuter train, and on one that would have automatic doors.

HA! A looser skirt and flat-heeled shoes wouldn't improve the odds.
