Factual error: Aaron Rapaport is in a train supposedly in China. The train pictured is one from the Swiss Federal Railways. The locomotive is a Re460 and the SBB logo is visible. (01:35:58)
Factual error: When they are in the tank as the main gun is firing towards the helicopter and Kim, the breach is partially open as it "fires" and showers them with sparks. (01:40:00)
Continuity mistake: During the actual interview, when Kim Jong-un pulls the gun on Dave and starts taunting him, the scene shifts between several angles in which he is holding the gun normally, barrel above the hand, but then cuts to an angle in which he is holding the gun sideways in the "gangsta" style, with no gaps in between for him to have switched positions.
Dave Skylark: When you score a Bin Laden, or a Hitler, or an Un, you take it by the balls! It's the first rule of journalism. You give the people what they waaant.
Aaron Rapaport: That's not the first rule of journalism. I think it's like the first rule of like circuses and demolition derbies.
Trivia: Originally intended for theatrical release, this film ultimately had to be released through streaming after the North Korean government threatened to retaliate against the United States. A cyber crimes group allegedly tied to North Korea also hacked Sony's emails and made threats against theaters that had planned to show the film.
