    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Many visitors of the Rossiya Hotel bar stayed on set after the bar was closed, to see the filming of the scene with Rubik and Mimino dancing lezginka. Right during filming, Frunzik Mkrtchyan drank with his Armenian friends and they talked him into doing a split and picking up his handkerchief, to make him look better than "the Georgian," but Mkrtchyan wasted several takes trying to do it because, being too drunk, he couldn't hold himself properly. In the end, Georgiy Daneliya secretly told Vakhtang Kikabidze to grab the handkerchief while Mkrtchyan was doing the split and this was how the scene was shot.
    • Goofs
      When Mimino is talking to the old woman besides his helicopter on the plateau the type of the helicopter (riveted to no-riveted body) and the size and shape of the mountains seen in the background change between the shots.
    • Quotes
      • Rubik Khachikyan: The truck got stolen.
      • Valentin Mizandari: What do you mean stolen? Are you sure this is where you parked it?
      • Rubik Khachikyan: What do you mean am I sure? A woman was smoking next to that garbage bin over there.
      • Valentin Mizandari: Rubik, stay here, don't let anyone go in or out, get the trails. I'll go get the police.
      • Rubik Khachikyan: Tell them that the truck got stolen, it was brand new!
    • Alternate versions
      The premiere version that was shown on the Moscow International Film Festival was cut by the scene in which Valiko is calling an immigrant in Tel Aviv by mistake. The immigration topic was a political issue and the international public wasn't supposed to see it. The festival version was the only cut print (which later has been reportedly destroyed by the director); the theatrical release was uncut.
