Trivia

Appropriate cameo

Mikhail Gorbachev, last president of USRR, appeared in the movie after director Wim Wenders sent him a letter and because his secretary was familiar with the movies of Wim Wenders and was a great admirer. She talked Gorbachev into giving up a couple of hours to do the cameo as he was on a trip to Germany anyway.
