Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons can be seen in the film The Interview:
Makarov PM
Aaron Rapaport (Seth Rogen) and Sook (Diana Bang) carry Makarov PMs as their sidearms. They use them to take over the broadcasting center. North Korean soldiers can also be seen with this weapon.
AK-74M
In one scene, a North Korean soldier can be seen armed with an AK-74M, aiming it at the protagonists when they meet North Korean Director of Communications Sook (Diana Bang). This is somewhat inaccurate, as the AK-74M is not used by the military of the DPRK.
Unknown MP5 Variant
SEAL Team 6 members that rescue the protagonists can be seen with an unknown variant of the MP5, fitted with UMP stocks and ACOG scopes.
Norinco Type 84S-1
One North Korean soldier can be seen armed with a Norinco Type 84S-1, distinguished by the hooded front sight and lightly-curved 5.56mm magazine. While the North Koreans do use the Chinese AK clones, they use the 7.62mm Norinco Type 56, not the Type 84S.
RPD Light Machine Gun
In one scene, an RPD light machine gun can be seen being taken from a hidden compartment and fired on North Korean soldiers by Director of Communications Sook.
Type 73 Light Machine Gun
In promotional material for the film, such as the poster shown above, North Korean soldiers can be seen brandishing Type 73 light machine guns.
DShK Heavy Machine Gun
A DShK heavy machine gun can be seen mounted on a T-55 tank that Kim Jong-Un (Randall Park) shows off to the protagonists. Movie claims the tank was "a gift from Stalin" despite the fact that earliest T-55 model entered production in 1958, and the starring T-55A entering in 1961, nine years after Stalin's death, and well into the process of de-Stalinization within the Soviet Union. T-55A used in the movie in fact belongs to the 1966 ZTS-Martin production from Czechoslovakia and currently resides in the collection of the Chilliwack Military Education Centre.
