Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Leonid Gaidai presented the film to the censors, he added a nuclear explosion footage into the epilogue, and refused to remove it, and only agreed after an extensive argument. This allowed him to sneak in some controversial (by the USSR's measures) material such as striptease, drunken debauchery and references to prostitution.
- GoofsThe first part of the film takes place in what is supposed to be Turkey. But the streets are filled with signs in Arabic script, which Turkey does not use.
- Quotes
Mystery man: Hey, buddy, do you have a cigarette?
[Gorbunkov stutters]
Mystery man: What are you, deaf-mute?
Semyon Gorbunkov: [immediately, very clearly and distinctly] Yes!
- Crazy creditsThe summary of the first part of the movie, written in an extremely small and blurry font, races through the screen in a matter of two seconds.

Featured review
I watched this movie as a small boy. I liked it. Then I watched it again, as a bigger boy. I liked it again :) Then I found it nowadays on video... was tempted to watch it again... and liked it again :-)
This is classics! It's good! It's... yes, it's way too Russian......but because I know Russian language, and Russian culture a bit, too, I could understand almost all of the movie's plot, and jokes, and sometimes (too Russian?;) humour.
The movie is real good. It has good plot, good acting, it's directed good, it has good music... I've given it 9/10 stars. It's worth watching! But... beware - maybe you wouldn't understand it. Because it's way too Russian? Maybe. Well, you can try, at least...
I really enjoyed it:)
One word-summary: recommend! ...for whoever want to try it:)
