    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Arnold Schwarzenegger spent three months learning to speak Russian. Jim Belushi spent two weeks working at a Chicago police district headquarters.
    • Goofs
      The teleprinter at the Moscow militia headquarters is seen printing a message in Russian but in the Latin alphabet. Equipment used by the Soviet government would undoubtedly allow the Cyrillic alphabet to be used.

      They do have those. Also, some using the Latin alphabet. Ever since Kennedy sent the first ones to Moscow in July 1963.
    • Quotes
      • Hooligan: Hey, asshole! You can't park here, this is my spot! I live right up there. So move your piece-of-shit car or give me fifty bucks.
      • Ivan Danko: I do not understand.
      • Hooligan: Let me make it real simple, moron. You move your ass or give me fifty, or I take my Pete Rose here and fucking mutilate your car.
      • Ivan Danko: Do you know Miranda?
      • Hooligan: Never heard of the bitch.
      • [Danko punches him unconscious]
      • Ivan Danko: [in Russian] Hooligani.
      • [Ridzik comes back]
      • Art Ridzik: Everything okay?
      • Ivan Danko: Yes, fine. No problems.
      • Art Ridzik: What about that sack of shit lying on the sidewalk?
      • Ivan Danko: He lives here.
    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits certain letters are reversed so as to imitate Russian Cyrillic script. In particular, "Rs" and "Ns" are reversed.
    • Alternate versions
      German theatrical version was edited for violence to secure a "Not under 16" rating. Rental VHS (Starlight) was also edited for violence. Retail VHS (Starlight, EuroVideo) included all the violence but missed 9 minutes of dialogue (oddly both versions were rated "Not under 16"). In 1997 the film was re-released by Astro, this time in its uncut form with a "Not under 18" rating (it was advertised as being a "Director's Cut"). DVD (Kinowelt) is also uncut.
