Continuity mistake: In the opening of the movie, when Rusty and Danny are flying back to visit Rueben, you see them boarding a Gulfstream G200. However, the interior shots actually show them flying in a Gulfstream 5 (probably the one on the ramp next to the G200 when they exit the aircraft).
Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
Starring: Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Al Pacino, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Eddie Izzard
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Danny and Rusty are talking to Roman in the kitchen, the camera can be seen in the reflection of the kitchen window.
Plot hole: To rig blackjack card shuffling machines to make the dealer bust and everyone else get 20 or 21, its success would depend entirely on knowing the exact number of people at the table at that time. Perhaps the filmmaker is assuming all seats at the high-stakes blackjack tables would always be filled during a "soft" opening, but that seems extremely unlikely.
Trivia: Banks and Reuben mention being the few alive on the strip that actually shook Frank Sinatra's hand. Frank Sinatra played Danny Ocean in the original Ocean's 11.
Trivia: Throughout the movie, quotes from The Godfather are said by the actors. For example, Reuben says, "I hear cars pulling in. I hear whispering conversations. Linus crying. Why don't you tell me what everyone else seems to know?" This is almost exactly what Don Corleone is asking Tom Hagan in the Godfather in the scene where he finds out Sonny has been killed. Another quote from the Godfather is when Danny is trying to pull a on Banks, he says, "What I want, [pause] what's most important to me. . ." In the Godfather, Michael says this about his father's safety at the meeting where he kills McCluskey and The Turk.
Trivia: Another link to the Godfather series: Al Pacino and Andy Garcia had previously starred together in The Godfather Part III in 1990.
Rusty Ryan: Are you all right?
Danny Ocean: Yeah, um, I just bit into a red pepper.
Rusty Ryan: Is that... Are you... Are you watching Oprah?
Terry Benedict: You think this is funny?
Danny Ocean: Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad.
Danny Ocean: Alright, well... I'll see you when I see you
Rusty Ryan: Hey, next time? Try keeping the weight off in between.
Danny Ocean: Hey. Settle down. Have a couple of kids.
Question: Can anyone give some insight as to what was used to contaminate the hotel reviewer's room?
Question: This is actually a few questions about the same thing: Why did Matt Damon say 'the nose played' so often? What was so important about his fake nose? Also, here's another question: why was he wearing a fake nose in the first place?
Answer: Linus was trying very hard in all three movies to prove himself to Danny, Rusty, and his parents. The nose is obviously his innovation, and he wants to show that it's a great disguise entirely of his own creation... even though it's pretty obviously superfluous, as it seems that no one recognizes him anyhow.
Answer: It's also a nod to Steven Sodeberg, the director. He's got a similar honker.
Answer: The "nose plays" relates the size of a man's nose equating to the size of their genitalia.
Question: So for blackjack, they rigged machines. For roulette, they used magnetic wheels that the balls would attract too, and the slots had a sequence. What I don't understand is the science behind the lighter and the dice for the craps table. Can someone explain how the purple powder the twins added make this possible? And how pressing the lighter made it roll to the desired roll.
Answer: The powder was explained briefly but it's a magnetic powder and they lighters are at the frequency to pull the dice down. However both Danny and rusty would still have to time it perfectly as there is no way a powder would be orientated correctly.

Answer: I don't think there's any way of providing an exact answer to this question, but I think it's safe to say that whatever materials they used were highly bacterial but not lethal (otherwise the 5 Diamond Award critic would be dead or in serious condition).
