Notes

The Terry Benedict character bears some resemblance to Steve Wynn, the developer behind the Bellagio and the Mirage. One of Andy Garcia's lines in the movie (as Terry Benedict) reads, "If you should be picked up buying a $100,000 sports car in Newport Beach, I'm going to be extremely disappointed." This is a reference to the real-life 1994 kidnapping of Steve Wynn's daughter, Kevyn Wynn. Ray Cuddy, one of the kidnappers, was caught in Newport Beach a week after the incident trying to buy a Ferrari with cash. The two fighters featured in the boxing match sequence are Wladimir Klitschko and Lennox Lewis.
