Off the top-of-my-head I’d say we’re looking at a Boesky(Ivan Boesky), a Jim Brown, a little Miss Daisy,Leon Spinks,two Jethros(only one here though) and probably the biggest Ella Fitzgerald.
The list of cons as described by Brad Pitt’s Rusty Ryan to George Clooney’s Danny Ocean in Steven Soderbergh’s Oceans Eleven.
Off the top of my head, I’d say you’re looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald…ever
– from the Oceans Eleven’s game plan
Ocean’s 11 cons
In the film “Ocean’s Eleven” Rusty (Brad Pitt) says to Danny Ocean (George Clooney), “Off the top of my head, I’d say you’re looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever!”
Carl Reiner’s character, Saul Bloom, is the Boesky. That’s Ivan Boesky, a hot-shot wall-street trader who got caught committing securities fraud. He’s supposed to be a wealthy man to foot the bill who also has some inside information.
The Jim Brown is confrontation between Bernie Mac’s character (Frank Catton, the inside man) and Matt Damon (Linus Caldwell) that is staged to distract. It is after a famous football (american) player who later went on to play leg-breaking thugs in a bunch movies. (Don’t mess with me or you’re in for it.)
The Miss Daisy refers to the SWAT van, their “getaway” vehicle. It comes from the movie, Driving Miss Daisy.
The two Jethros are “hillbilly gear-head types” to take care of Miss Daisy. They are Casey Affleck and Scott Caan (Virgil and Turk Malloy)
The Leon Spinks is the disruption of the boxing match, after Leon Spinks’ famous surprise upset victory over Mohammed Ali.
And the Ella Fitzgerald is the tape they make and play in a loop in order to get into the vault. This is based on a Memorex commercial from the 70’s in which a recording of Ella’s voice breaks a glass and the question is asked, “Is it live or is it Memorex?”
Phew…. what a question… (salute to kamal rathi)
