Trivia

The right answer

The authorization to see the security control room is signed under the company name "Road Movie", which is Wim Wenders' production company.

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.
