The second exterior shot of the supposedly Chinese train shows a Swiss train: The livery of both engine and cars is clearly the same and the large double arrow logotype of the Swiss federal railways can also be recognized on the side of the engine despite the motion blur.

When Dave and Aaron are talking, just before the actual interview, square LED studio lights can be seen reflected in Aaron's glasses.

Throughout the film, several North Koreans refer to their country as "North Korea." No North Korean would refer to the country by that name. The official name for the country is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and they view themselves as the sole legitimate government of the entire Korean peninsula.

When Aaron gets into the cab (where he receives the first call from N. Korea), the medallion number of the cab is 5D32. The camera then cuts to outside the cab where the license plate reads: 7X41. NYC Taxicabs have the same medallion number and plate number.

Q
Is "The Interview" the only movie to be cancelled?
A
No, and far from it.Because it was met with much controversy from the day it was announced to the public, The Interview has easily been put in the foreground as a modern-day banned film;. However, several other films have faced cancellation after being filmed or in the process of being produced:- Batman: Year One http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/LEVITIKUZsLOUNGE/news/?a=78800 - The Cornfield People http://geeksteronmovies.blogspot.com/p/the-cornfield-people.html - The Dark Tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Tower_(series)#Film.2FTelevision_adaptation - Godzilla vs. Frankenstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Frankenstein - LaBrava http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaBrava#Cancelled_Movie - Macbeth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macbeth_(Olivier_film) - Newt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pixar_films#Canceled_projects - Pyongyang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyongyang_(comics)#Film - Ripley's Believe It or Not! http://screenrant.com/riplys-believe-it-or-not-movie-jim-carrey-sandy-96140/ - Sprockets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprockets_(Saturday_Night_Live)#Proposed_film_adaptationThe following article might also interest you: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entertainment_affected_by_the_September_11_attacks#Movies
Q
Is this film responsible for the Sony Pictures Entertainment hacking that caused the leaks of five films?
A
A group called Guardians of Peace claiming responsibility for the November 27 hack which leaked five Sony Pictures movies and personal data and emails from Sony computers. While the alleged hackers have claimed to be North Korea, there is no evidence that GOP are the hackers or that they are North Korean or that North Korea has any involvement in the hack. WIRED has made the case that the linking of North Korea to the hack is flimsy, and a former member of the hacktivist group Anonymous has expressed doubt that North Korea is behind the hacking or that the film The Interview would result in a hacking, stating, "Do you really think a bunch of nerds from North Korea are going to fly to New York and start blowing up movie theaters? No. It's not realistic. It's not about 'The Interview.' It's about money. It's a professional job."However, the FBI analysts have determined that the North Korean government is responsible for the hack attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment.-Technical analysis of the data deletion malware used in this attack revealed links to other malware that the FBI knows North Korean actors previously developed. For example, there were similarities in specific lines of code, encryption algorithms, data deletion methods, and compromised networks.-The FBI also observed significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity the U.S. government has previously linked directly to North Korea. For example, the FBI discovered that several Internet protocol (IP) addresses associated with known North Korean infrastructure communicated with IP addresses that were hardcoded into the data deletion malware used in this attack.-Separately, the tools used in the SPE attack have similarities to a cyber attack in March of last year against South Korean banks and media outlets, which was carried out by North Korea.Tech analysis http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/12/fbi-north-korea-to-blame-for-sony-hack/-But now the FBI is identifying a Sony insider as the source of the hacking, suggesting that the Kim regime had nothing to do with the incident at all.
Q
Is there a post-credit scene?
