    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The Coen brothers' draft of the script was originally written in the early 2000s, but the project became stuck in development hell after several directors dropped out. Despite several uncredited rewrites that removed many of their contributions, the Coens were still given sole writing credit.
    • Goofs
      Just over 53 minutes in, Harry Deane is shuffling along an outside ledge of The Savoy, facing the wall, with the stolen, large Ming vase. To continue, he must climb over a metal obstruction. He puts the vase down at arm's length on the right hand side of it, over a stone block away, climbs over it but gets his trouser leg caught on it. The film cuts to a car scene and when it returns to Harry his trousers are still entangled and he is taking them off but the vase is now placed right against the obstruction.
    • Quotes
      • Lionel Shabandar: And where are you staying?
      • PJ Puznowski: Er, well, one of them big hotels downtown. I can't remember the name of it. You remember, Harry?
      • Harry Deane: Connaught.
      • PJ Puznowski: Me neither.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits are shown over cartoon characters performing odd actions with artwork and elevators.
