Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the Oval Office, the Ambassador for North Korea says, "Stand down your military, withdraw from our borders and return to the status quo. 'Status quo' meaning 'the *present* state of affairs'. Accurately, it should be 'status quo ante' - the state of matters as they were before [the present].
