The nifty telescoping, solvent-dispensing syringe used by Nils Dorow to loosen the jewels from the statue is really a car radio antenna with a rubber ear syringe bulb attached to the end. Props department saved some money on that one. Submitted by Mason Jar, 9/16/2011.

Many aspects of the jewel theft seem inspired by the 1964 classic heist movie Topkapi. Submitted by Masonite, 1/18/2012.
