Plot hole: How does Agent Lahiri know that you needed to raise the pylons before it was possible to make the cross bow shot the boys needed to unlock the house in Amsterdam? Additionally, those pylons would not be accessible through water as they are planted in mud under the foundation of the building, not water.
Ocean's Twelve (2004)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
Starring: Bruce Willis, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Casey Affleck, Robbie Coltrane, Carl Reiner, Scott Caan, Bernie Mac, Elliott Gould, Shaobo Qin
Visible crew/equipment: When Ocean tells the Nightfox about the fake Faberge, there's a shot of the Nord Train. When we see the left side of the train, watch its window and you will be able to see a camera and a cameraman reflected.
Linus Caldwell: What did I say?
Danny Ocean: You called his niece a whore.
Rusty Ryan: A very cheap one.
Danny Ocean: She's seven.
Trivia: In the last scene, when everyone meets to play poker, Catherine Zeta Jones throws her hands up to celebrate a win and falls out of her chair for real.
Question: What is the 'lost in translation' scene with Robbie Coltrane about? (is it actually a reference to the Bill Murray film?).
Answer: It's a joke that Matsui plays on newbies. Near the end of the film, When Linus tells his mother (Cherry Jones) he blew the meet with Matsui, she explains that's his idea of a joke on new players. Linus then comments he didn't see that coming. (Damon shows a moment of bad acting, he can barely contain his laughter).

Answer: A "lost in translation" is a kind of con - Danny, Rusty and Matsui basically pulled a prank on Linus to make him feel like he didn't know what they were talking about when, in fact, they were just speaking gibberish.

Almost right. Actually, Danny, Rusty and Matsui weren't just speaking nonsense, all the conversation contains their plan.
