It then widens out to the 1960 Rat Pack original with Sinatra and five casinos on New Year's Eve, Ocean's Twelve with the Night Fox and the Fabergé egg, Ocean's Thirteen with Al Pacino's Willy Bank and the Channel Tunnel drill, Ocean's 8 with Debbie Ocean at the Met Gala, and the prequel and sequel now in the works.

Every answer was checked against the Wikipedia articles on the films and the franchise, and each question shows the sentence that supports it once you answer. Free, no signup.
