[edit] Don Cheadle

Does anyone know why Don Cheadle was uncredited in this movie? Was it an accident or was it his choice? If it was his choice, why? 24.62.27.66 21:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Probably because of that ridiculous accent taht is from a part of Britain not yet discovered.

My guess is for the same reason that Julia Roberts is credited as "and introducing" - its most likely a joke.

[edit] Synopsis

Why is the summary so crappy and without any detail. It is truly an ingenius plot, and deserves credit.

It is incredible detailed...which could be part of it...and also you don't want to spoil too much.

It's also copied verbatim from the "Fan Page" linked at the bottom. I think another, more detailed, plot summary would be a good idea.

[edit] Plot Hole

In the DVD commentary Steven Soderbergh and Ted Griffin acknowledge a certain plot hole: How did the crew get the flyers of the hookers in the vault in the first place?

True. An additional hole was getting Yen AND THE BRIEFCASE THAT WAS BEING SENT BY BENEDICT`S PEOPLE TO THE VAULT through the 1st security door by the mormon twins. Additionally the "I forgot my passkey" explaination is sloppy. Earlier in the movie the robbers removed the (single) guard at the door by the "baloon boy" play so that the Electrician (who did have the passkey) wouldn`t be recognised as an intruder. In the "Getting Yen into the vault" occassion there are two guards and neither of them suspects the twins who DON`T have the passkey. While the dispairity in number of guards could be explained by an assumption that the electronics room and the Vault in fact have separate enterances from the casino (i.e. those are not the same doors in question - hence the passkey from the first would`nt work on the second), the more lax security guards at the enterance to the Vault simply couldn`t.

[edit] Plot device

Basher's "pinch" is not a real McGuffin, as I've recently edited. What is the correct name for a "black box" plot device like this? --Wetman 06:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

-The "pinch" is more like an electromagnetic bomb, and its design is just like it.  An EMP bomb is designed to knock out power sources, and it's construction is basically a coiled bomb.  check it in in wiki.  it's fictional in a sense that it's this powerful, but humanity is really close to achieving it (last time i read about it)
