Kino der Toten/Trivia

*Near one of the power generators on the stage, there is some writing. The only word that can be recognized is "Project."
**On the Nintendo Wii, it says "Jr. Projectionist" in the same spot.
*In the Pack-a-Punch room, there are anatomical pictures of a zombie and a Hellhound.
*Kino der Toten was originally meant to be a DLC map for Call of Duty: World at War, but it was deemed too close to the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, so they saved the map and released it with Black Ops instead.https://youtu.be/8yGX6P242fg
*In the Black Ops version, Takeo looks significantly older and has a mustache and Dempsey is much more dirty and covered in scars.
*At the Mystery Box spawns, there is a map showing the cinema. It also shows the location of the mystery box; the location is marked by a green light. Keep in mind that the location can be seen only after the power has been turned on.
*After opening the upstairs room and going behind the wall, the player can see text that says "The element is here," an obvious reference to Element 115.
*In the Black Ops version, there is always music playing on this map. Due to its low volume, it's easiest to hear when there are no zombies nearby. The song is "Damned" by Kevin Sherwood, the music of the Zombies menu.
