Just noticed a funny Easter egg in "The Interview" (2014), at 1:38 they're escaping in a tank that has "Пан или пропал" written on it. The phrase literally means "Either lord, or loser", a proverbial expression describing a risky choice ending in only one of two extreme outcomes.

The word "пан" (pan) originates from Polish where it's mostly uses as a formal variant of "you" (a bit like "sir") and since Soviet times it's mostly used with a smirk.
