I always thought that gesture meant "I'm going to cut your throat". somebody described it as "Viggo is going to buy you a tie so ugly you will damn sure take your own life." I think the Russian Mafia was famous for their violent bow ties...I can't remember though...it may have been the italians.
wow you are alll dumbass's... it obviously means.. im going too slit your throat.... cuz thats all theyve been doin tha whole movie.. slittin eachothers throats.
The Uncle was threatening about sicking the police, British or Russian, against even and implying violence and incarceration, not to mention spitting in his face and calling him a motherfucker. Luzhin handles it very calmly I'd say, just looking the old guy in the face and giving him the ol' V to the neck.
@superthomash It is old school russian for 'I need help'. You can take it two ways, either Viggo is telling the old man he is mentally unstable or that he may need the old man's help.
Slitting the throat, even in russia, is sliding fingers across the throat. Though Russians tend to do it with a thumb so it looks like they are holding a knife.
They tend to not show a sign for strangling that I've seen. Occassionally just adjusting their tie while looking at the person.
@ladofthelake I need help?! Ha ha, people are really something. I could tell You so many things about this movie that was pretty far a way from the truth especially when it came to "vori v zakonje" or "bratva".. this sign that he is showing is not used in Russia commonly. Generally it means I'm watching over You and give me a smallest reason and I will slice Your throat and kill You!
It's true this movie reviles a dozen of information that society shouldn't know about criminals in Russia..sadly!
@MrMobster1980 The statement about 'I heed help' was not in the method you percieved.
The two fingers to the throat also implies 'Im not mentally stable' (commonly paraphrased in English 'I need help') Implying that I need psychological help. Yes I stretched the double meaning. The only reason I did for this instance is the writers later showed Viggo as an undercover agent and he put the uncle in a nice hotel so the mafia thought he had killed the uncle. hence the secondary meaning.

@superthomash in general terms, "He's going to die" but either it means you're going to get strangled or get your throat cut. If i remember right the russian's used to do the tie thing.
@superthomash I asked my uncle in law who is Russian, he told me it means "Judgement is passed." I am Italian so I relate this much to the Sicilian kiss of death. Thumbs up for analysis
Yes i have seen the movie. And i particularly like this scene. As humble as he is, his insinuation and gesture in this scene come across to be "physcotic" through the way he does it and what impressions he is giving. So go fuck yourself, and dont tell me that i havent seen the movie =)
Im sorry chris I didn't realize you where a cyberganster. I didn't mean anything by it. Im sorry if I offended you godfather. Psychotic? He spit in his fucking face you would have been arrested for assault or worse had that happened to you so it's not psychotic at all in my opinion. I smacked the shit out of my cousin for doing that by mistake at the beach because he laughed afterwards the shit is just nasty. Most people would rather be smacked. Then again I am not european.
Wow, you truly are a fucking hardcunt smashing your cousin. How old was he, fucken 5? All im saying is that the gesture Viggo makes is of a physcotic nature. And it is, not only according to me, but almost everyone else that has commented this video. So shut the fuck up, and drop it.
actually he is 348 days older then me and we where 10-11. But again I apologize I would not have said maybe you didn't watch the movie if I had known you where an infamous cyber gangster. Please forgive me for my intrusion and voicing my opinion I hope we can still be friends. Can't we all just get along. Your humble subject "I be quiet" and you know this maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn.
If you see King Elessar signaling this to you, you know you're gonna get fucked.

It just means "your dead". The cutting of the throat is a common way of killing people in the russian mafia.

Since it's a sissor sign, it must say:
