Did You Know?

-For the laser dance, Vincent Cassel didn't need a stuntman. He is an expert in the Brazilian martial art known as capoeira. He did the entire dance himself

-While shooting in Rome, Brad Pitt and George Clooney got caught in the rain while jogging. The doorman of their hotel wouldn't let them enter the hotel because he thought they were vagrants

-Sitting on the shores of Lake Como in Italy is the Nigh Fox's mansion. The city overlooking Lake Como is called Bellagio. The city and lake inspired the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas, where the site of the original heist was in 2001's Ocean's Eleven

-The necklace that Rusty Ryan wears is a replica of a necklace with the wedding ring that Brad Pitt wore when he was married to Jennifer Aniston

-Despite Europol being a police organization in Europe, they have no executive powers to execute warrants or arrest people like they are shown in the movie. They exist to foster cooperation between the police services in Europe

-Unlike the movie, where it suggests that Europol is in Amsterdam, in real life Europol is located in The Hague, where many war crimes are put on trial. Many of the scenes showing the Europol office were shot in the city hall of The Hague and this location is only 50km south of Amsterdam

-In the scene with the train, Turk is seen wearing a Boston Red Sox cap while Danny is seen wearing a New York Yankees cap. This was to make it seem more realistic to distract the guards on the train. This is because the Yankees and the Red Sox have been rivals for over 100 years and their fans don't get along with each other
