Action Adventure Movies - Ocean's Twelve Movie Question


Expert: Aaron Smith - 3/25/2007

Question
QUESTION: Vincent Casser as Frances Toulour, the competition (thief).

He does this exercise during the movie that resembles gymnastics, but on the ground.  Do you know what the name of this type of exercise is, so I can google it.  Thank you.
ANSWER: Vincent Casser as Frances Toulour uses capoeira (Brazilian martial arts) to dodge the lasers in an effort to steal the Faberge egg

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: The movement/exercise I was referring to was, when a few of Ocean's Twelve visited Frances Tourlour at his home, he was actually exercising (limbering up..) outside on his tiled patio.  One pose of the movement resembled a push up without his feet touching the ground, spinning his entire body and legs sort of.  That's the best I can explain it.

Answer
Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349903/trivia

The Night Fox uses capoeira (Brazilian martial arts) to dodge the lasers in an effort to steal the Faberge egg, a tribute/spoof of Catherine Zeta-Jones's similar performance in Entrapment (1999). The Night Fox practices similar aerobic movements on his deck.
