Did You Know?

-The scenes showing Linus walking through the streets of London talking on the phone were shot while Matt Damon was in London filming The Bourne Ultimatum. The production crew of Ocean's Thirteen took advantage of this, as they wanted the character Greco to be British and a former classmate of Roman Nagel

-The phone Abigail Sponder gives Willy Bank is a custom made Gold Samsung, made just for the movie

-The numbers Mr. Weng picks on the roulette wheel, 11, 12, 13, all refer to the films in the Ocean's series

-This was one of Bernie Mac's final roles on screen before his death on August 9, 2008, at the age of 50

-Director Steven Soderbergh had Al Pacino in mind first as the role of Willy Bank. The producer for the film, Jerry Weintraub, is a good friend of Pacino's and convinced him to be in the film

-All of the scenes featuring Al Pacino were shot in 3 weeks

-This film reunited Al Pacino and Andy Garcia after they worked together on The Godfather Pt. III (1990)

-The ringtone on Rusty's phone is The Human League's "Don't You Want Me"

-In the scene where the pit boss is seen leaving a pawn shop, he passes by a sign reading "Griffin". In Las Vegas, The Griffin Agency is responsible for helping casinos spot card counters and cheaters. In this area of town, The Griffin Bar is downtown

-The stuntman who Don Cheadle impersonates uses the stage name "Fender Roads." This is a homonym of "Fender Rhodes", an electric piano made by the Fender Corporation in the 1940s and 1950s, developed by Harold Rhodes
