    • Trivia
      Leningrad Cowboys are a Finnish band with a constantly rotating lineup who often mix American rock music with traditional Russian folk songs, sometimes playing one in the style of the other.
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene, and throughout the movie, the frozen bass player's bass guitar is some cheap off-brand guitar. But when he thaws out and gets up to play at the end of the movie, it's a Fender.
    • Quotes

      Siberian Svengali: [after audition] Bullshit.

      Igor: How come?

      Siberian Svengali: No commercial potential. Go to America. They'll put up with anything there...

    Just good clean fun

    The most politically inclined and intellectual viewer would analyze this movie as a political satire, and they would be right. However, this movie is more enjoyable if seen as a road movie and a look at America through the eyes of a foreigner. Funny and poignant.
