::Another random and not necessarily relevant note now that this movie isn't coming out is that the North Koreans don't use Chinese Type 56s since they have their own indigenous AK-47 (Type 58), AKM (Type 68) and AK-74 (Type 88) clones. --[[User:Markit|Markit]] ([[User talk:Markit|talk]]) 15:31, 19 December 2014 (EST) | |||

Discussion
Are you sure you want to do this page? I don't want the site to get hacked. --Ben41 (talk) 06:51, 18 December 2014 (EST)
- We shouldn't have to live in fear. And if we're going to do a page, it might as well look decent, there was more than enough in the trailer for screenshots. --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:14, 18 December 2014 (EST)
- Hacked? By whom? Who would hack us for this movie? Excalibur01 (talk) 22:40, 18 December 2014 (EST)
- Well, I thought they'd still quietly release it on DVD to recoup some expenses, but I guess that's currently out as well. Sure, let's just archive the page on the talk page. --Funkychinaman (talk) 08:11, 18 December 2014 (EST)
- Why on Earth would anyone hack us? It seems like an exaggerated concern to me. It's not like our page is endorsing any political positions on the hacking, or urging the White House to respond in a particular way. -MT2008 (talk) 10:42, 19 December 2014 (EST)
- I wasn't concerned about the hacking stuff, I just didn't think the page was eligible now that the movie has been shelved. If they ever do release it, and I think they probably will, I have no qualms about restoring the page. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:47, 19 December 2014 (EST)

- I agree we shouldn't worry about hacking honestly, regardless of whether it's likely or not. I think Tim makes a point about how if something does happen, it'd still be unlikely to affect us anyway. Besides, if it were to affect us, simply moving the content to a talk page still on the site wouldn't help I think. That said, it's not like we're doing away with the page or its content, and I think FCM is perfectly valid in regards to the film not being released and that being reason enough to just store the stuff for later. It serves as a precaution of sorts if you wanna look at it that way, but even so, we're not really changing the way we do things, so I don't see it as us 'caving in', as it were.

AK-74Ms
I suppose it is moot to talk about the movie's guns in light of recent events and our decision to take down the page, but the "AK-74Ms" in this movie are probably just Norinco Type 84s mocked-up as AK-74Ms. This movie was filmed in British Columbia, and as we saw in the last season of Falling Skies, the armorers in BC have recently vismodded some of their Type 84s to resemble AK-74Ms. -MT2008 (talk) 10:36, 19 December 2014 (EST)
- I'm pretty certain it's an AK-74M; it appeared to have the distinctive black bakelite 5.45mm magazine, as opposed the the metal 5.56mm mags of the Type 84S, as well as the open front sight. Orca1 9904 (talk) 15:18, 19 December 2014 (EST)
Saving Code
The following weapons can be seen in the film The Interview:
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.
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.
DShK Heavy Machine Gun
A DShK heavy machine gun can be seen mounted on a T55 tank that Kim Jong-Un (Randall Park) shows off to the protagonists. He claims the tank was "a gift from Stalin".
