The content of the only radio bulletin spoken in the radio in this movie is identical to an actual radio bulletin from the public-service broadcaster of Denmark ("Danmarks Radio"), from December 27th 1988. These radio bulletins were called "Radioavis" in Danish, and they were also broadcast on Danish public-service TV in the evenings. A video clip of this actual radio bulletin can be found on youtube.

An interview with the real Poul Brink appears just before the credits.
