Line 5:

* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** This time, Matthew Broderick ''doesn't'' let the [[Ferris Bueller's Day Off
** Also, at the Thanksgiving Day parade, a ''[[Shrek]]'' balloon can be seen, a possible reference to [[Eddie Murphy]]'s being in this movie.
* [[All-Star Cast]]: Take a look at the poster.
Line 44:
* [[Karmic Thief]]: The thieves target a dishonest Wall Street banker.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: Averted. {{spoiler|Shaw still had to go to jail for the hidden safe he didn't report.}}

* [[Smug Snake]]: Arthur Shaw.
* [[Taking You
* [[Thanksgiving Day Story]]: When the eponymous heist takes place.
* [[Uncommon Time]]: Much of the film's score is in 7/8.
* [[Villain
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Besides the rumored [[Dave Chappelle]] cameo, Chris Rock was the original choice for Kovaks and Robert Redford was the original choice for Shaw. Redford turned down the role while Rock lost out to Stiller.
* [[What Happened to
** Last we saw of Mr. Simon, he was still locked in the closet
** Also, whatever happened to the FBI agent who was about to kick down the locked door?
