Robbery,... style (Ограбление по...) - Part 1, American

LOL! This smoking cop looks like Obama:) Foresight?)

He's in fact supposed to look like Marlon Brando. :)

All in all, it's rather to the point. Just think of all those American action movies and comics. :-) Of course it has little to do with the reailty, but so do all those films with lots of shooting and exploding cars.

LOL at the reversed stripping.

Of cause, the 'American style', in compare with the other parts, has the less in common with the origine. In fact it's a pure absurd, not a parody. It can be explaned, if to recollect that the real U.S. action movie (besides 'The Magnificent Seven') wasn't known in the Soviet Union at that time. 'American' was thought as something 'overwhelmed' (with violence, sex, tricks, etc.). But at the same time the European parodies on the American cinema are also absurd comedies in fact, not parodies.

Pretty psychadelic, I like it. I'm surprised it made it past Soviet censors, they tended to be very prudish. I guess they thought it was propaganda.

They though it was a parody.

They actually made the director cut out the last segment, "Robbery...Russian style". It was not seen until after the Perestroika.

Weird, considering that it portrayed Soviet police as efficient I would have kept it in (from a propaganda standpoint).

Ahh... I saw the beginning of this cartoon on a spoiled VCR back when I was 7...
