Trivia

The film has gained cult status among Russian speakers, mainly due to its extremely poor Russian, numerous factual errors and portrayal of ethnic stereotypes.

This was the first Western film by a major studio to film in Moscow's Red Square.
Ivan Danko's police uniform is a combination of at least six different uniforms. His hat is a Moscow Commander's Special and he also wears a Parade Band Musician axelbant.
When Danko and his partner discuss the drug problem, the translation says they are referring to Miami while they were actually referring to Harlem.
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.
Ivan Danko uses a gun called 'Podbyrin 9.2 mm". Its actually a modified western Desert Eagle Magnum. The Podbyrin does not exist and was made up as a prop for the movie.
