Film 890: Ocean’s Thirteen

Trivia: Al Pacino was director Steven Soderbergh's first choice for the role of Willie Bank. The film's producer, Jerry Weintraub, a friend of Pacino's, persuaded him to join the cast.

The fake nose Matt Damon wears is an in-joke reference to The Brothers Grimm, in which director Terry Gilliam wanted the actor to wear a fake nose but the studio vetoed it.

The film's translation in Russia is "13 Friends of Ocean".

Rusty's ring-tone is "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League.

Linus's fake nose ploy is "The Brody", a reference to actor Adrien Brody.

The Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow logos at the front of the film are styled in homage to the 1970s/1980s intro animation to New York station WOR-TV's "4 O'Clock Movie," and the accompanying music is identical.

The numbers that Mr. Weng picks to win at the roulette wheel are 11, 12 and 13 - the numbers of the three "Ocean" movies, thus far.
