There were no false props used in the film. Every piece of machinery used during the heists were the actual tools that would have been used in real-life situations. The magnetic drill James Caan used during the opening scene weighed 62 lbs. Likewise, most of the tools and guns used in the film had actually been used in real-life heists. A technical adviser was on set to instruct Caan. "That's a fancy name for thief," quips Caan. In fact, Caan got so well-versed in learning the craft of being a master thief that when one of the "technical advisers" was asked on Good Morning America (1975) after the film was released how well the actor did, he joked that he didn't know what he had been wasting his time on set for.
