Xenophobic, racist and social darwinist themes edit
This article is seriously in need of criticism of the film's xenophobic, racist and social darwinist themes. The bullshit paragraph ("Impact") about the "powerful message to the russian audience" really needs to be put in context.80.128.103.6 (talk) 23:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Xenophobic, racist edit
Why is there no word on the fact that this movie and teh sequel is violently xenophobic even racist? Its spirit is very ultra-nationalist --184.161.154.90 (talk) 20:23, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Cause actually they are NOT xenophobic or racist.
"Kat (literally "Torturer")" edit
What a braindamaged moron has thought this nonsense out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.190.161.115 (talk) 03:17, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Poster edit
I edited the poster to a picture of an English language poster for the film. I am not sure of when either the original or the English poster were released, but I uploaded it so that it would fit on the English Wikipedia more. This change was undone by Andrzejbanas, who said that the earliest possible poster should be used. Looking at a lot of other articles for Russian films, they have English language posters in the page, and I doubt they were the earliest released. I believe the page should use the English poser, as it is easier to identify for English audiences, most of which will be using the English Wikipedia.
Just to clarify, I'm not angry or anything, I just want to know which would be the best way to go about it. AndreyKva (talk) 02:29, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- No worries @AndreyKva:. I'm glad we are talking about it! :) I've done a bit of reading, and per WP:FILMPOSTER, "Ideally, an image of the film's original theatrical release poster should be uploaded and added to the infobox to serve as an identifying image for the article." So in general, as film is not like video games which are generally localized, but shown in their original languages and have specific relation with the country they are released in. In other words, for film, if you can, it's best to get a theatrical release poster, which is generally the main country of production after film festivals and what not. I hope we are good. If I'm missing something or you have any questions, feel free to ping me. :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:24, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

When filmed ? edit
Can anyone tell when this pic was shot (roughly - months, presumably in 1995?/96-1997 period) ? Many thanks, --2001:A61:5A6:1501:5D77:ED9F:90B:496E (talk) 21:16, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
