Awesome / Ocean's Eleven

Go To

All Films

  • Linus's growth across the films from just a talented pickpocket to having major roles in the ultimate heists for both sequels.

Ocean's Eleven

  • "If you ever ask me that question again, Daniel, you will not wake up the following morning!"
  • "I don't understand... what happened to all that money?"
  • "You of all people should know, Terry. In your hotel, there's always someone watching." (Cue Clair De Lune)
    • If you watch closely, the Bellagio Fountains display whenever they're on screen, have their actions perfectly synced to whatever part of Clair De Lune is playing, a specially looped version of said piece, to boot.

Ocean's Twelve

  • A villainous version in the second film, when Benedict tracks down everyone involved in the heist, several of whom don't even bother to try and lie their way out of it, knowing full well why he's showing up. And he has an ominously badass theme by David Holmes for that scene, "$165 million plus interest".
  • Also from the second film, François "The Night Fox" Toulour is able to get past a high-tech intruder detecting laser field by capoeira dancing through it. He might be a Smug Snake but he knows how to pick an absolute banger of a tune to work to.note 
    • Let's get the context straight here: this is a system that is so advanced and so unpredictable and has Ocean's entire team utterly panicked on how to deal with it, and Toulour solos the damn thing with simple athleticism.
  • Speaking of Linus, the fact that his parents have managed to maintain the greatest cover any American based thief could ever hope for: jobs as high end FBI Agents - their reputation is not without merit.

Ocean's Thirteen

  • Willy Banks is such a universally disliked Jerkass in-universe that his threats fall completely flat.
    Willy Banks: I know people highly invested in my survival, and they really know how to hurt in ways you can’t even imagine.
    Danny Ocean: Okay first, I know all the people you’d send after me. They like me better than you. Second, you’re not gonna go to the cops because...well let’s face it, you’re not gonna go to cops. And third of all, You shook Sinatra's hand! You should know better Willy!
  • Virgil is assigned the task of getting loaded dice for the opening night of the casino, and gets sent to infiltrate the factory where the dice are made to rig them at the manufacturer. However, management is watching the process too closely, and the factory isn't air conditioned. Virgil solves both problems neatly by leading a worker's strike and revolution against management. After the work stoppage puts the Bank heist at risk the crew send Turk down to knock some sense into his brother but he ends up joining the picket line. They're eventually able to negotiate better pay and benefits for the workers, a climate controlled facility to work in, and the rigged dice in time for the casino's opening night.
  • After Danny and his crew respond to Benedict's attempted double-crossing of them by donating the money they promised him to a orphan's charity, in his name. Benedict is naturally furious, but by this point, Danny isn't buckling to his threats anymore.
    Benedict: You think this is funny?
    Danny: (Walking out) Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad!
