When they find the gold in the suitcases in the bunker, Clooney hefts one like it weighed just a few pounds. When they lift the suitcase full of bars it rips and drops the bars.

A bar of gold is 400 troy ounces. There are 12 troy ounces in a pound, so one bar weighs over 33 pounds. Could you heft that weight like Clooney did? When the suitcases are opened, it is easy to see that there are two rows of 8 bars, times two layers = 32 bars. Times 33.33 pounds each, means that each suitcase is holding almost 1,067 pounds of gold bars. Could two guys lift that as easily as they did?
