LAW & ORDER: Special Victims Unit (THE RUSSIAN REMAKE)

[Spacibo100]

is it available on dvd? i Can't find it? If so, where can i get?

[arnyjk]

Gotta say, the Russian version of Alex Cabot is pretty hot.

[heraldleader]

Why are they using the old L & O Criminal Intent theme from the 1st season?

[MiladyToxic]

in Soviet Russia, crime solve YOU!

[funnycreep]

yay. i can read the names :0

[MenaceFan]

Do you have the Russian Criminal Intent intro that you can upload?

[emlodik]

@MenaceFan Yes, I'll see what I can do.

[c4r50n1]

the original ci theme?

[deathtracer]

character played by kseniya entelis can prosecute me anytime

[morigaine]

is it a dick wolf aproved adaptation.. since they used the actual theme music doesnt that make it ilegal.?

[TheGamerCrusader]

Yes, it is Dick Wolf approved.

[RoldanIncorporated]

I know this is discriminating Russia, but shouldn't there be a Law and Order KGB?

[emlodik]

Umm.... KGB was dissolved in the early nineties and it's a national security administration, having nothing to do with a police procedural. Idiot.

[RoldanIncorporated]

I know, i was just kidding around don't have to be an ass about it. And it would be kinda funny.

[meowsha]

@emlodik Lol, I love utopian westerners like you ^_^

[emlodik]

@meowsha I'm a Russian, darlin', but thanks for playing. :)

[meowsha]

@emlodik You're welcome, it's remarkable how in denial some Russians are though.

[123mooa]

what the hell is this!!!!!!! yeah think i'll stick with english

[emlodik]

You're xenophobic idiot.

[takeit10]

Is the show still on?? Was it cancelled??

[emlodik]

Nope, still one. Just finished the third season.

[AutumnLeaves86]

Is "Alexsander" supposed to be Munch??

[emlodik]

Yes.

[takeit10]

Heyyyy

Could you upload the opening for the russian version of Criminal Intent???

And what'd you think about the series???

[LawAndOrderRussia]

Sure thing, as soon as I have some free time. And I like the series, but they're too bogged down by their impossibly low budget and bad production values.

[takeit10]

Oh, really?

But the ratings of the version of these series (SVU & CI) are good in Russia, right? I mean, there will be a second season for each one, right?

[LawAndOrderRussia]

Well, there should... That's what the network promised, but it's already been a year. However, it does take a while for new seasons of Russians shows, so who knows...

[toddsmitts]

At least your writers aren't on strike like ours have been for the past couple of months. (Technically, I'm Canadian, but pretty much all the TV I watch is Canadian).

[SandruksLV]

Stupid Russians! Can't they make their own shows????

[readinghypnotist]

Lighten up! Several shows have been adapted from existing shows from other countries. Both "The Office" and "All in the Family" were adapted from British shows, while the British eventually made their own versions of "The Golden Girls" and "Who's the Boss".

I believe there's a French "Criminal Intent" as well.

[emlodik]

There's a Russian version of "Who's the Boss" as well!

[gamechamp85]

i tried to figure out who is who

i got was elliot and Olivia in the car and the old guy is cragen and the bald munch is what i think

[LawAndOrderRussia]

NOPE! That was Finn (I know, I know...) So, that leaves the "plain looking guy" as Munch... He's a taf younger than his American counterpart and nowhere near as witty. (Some of his jokes did NOT translate well into Russian!)

[DM1music]

ok so the russian adaptation is just supposed to be a carbon copy imitation of the american svu? hmm thats wierd it seems like it would just make more sense to create their own characters

[emlodik]

No, it's franchise rule. They did the same thing in France and are currently doing it in England as well.

[bloodiedXangel]

They have to edit the characters to fit into cultures and the legal procedures have to be changed to fit in with the systems in that country. But all the adaptations use plotlines from previous franchises.

[Zing89]

wow

[SpaceLady79]

That's the theme song from Criminal Intent *not* Special Victims Unit. It's interesting though.

[LawAndOrderRussia]

Isn't that what I mentioned in the description? They used the CI theme for the SVU remake.

[LawAndOrderRussia]
