Kin-Dza-Dza


The director Danelia liked acting of Borislav Brondukova, so when he wrote the script for the film "Kin-Dza-Dza", he came up with a role specifically for this artist. However, when we started shooting the film, Brondukov suffered a stroke and could not be removed. As a result, the hero who was supposed to perform Brondukov was generally eliminated from the script.

When the film was almost unchecked power in the Soviet Union came Konstantin Chernenko. To the film is not banned, Danelia and Gabriadze decided overdubbed word "Ku", which coincided with the initials of the General Secretary of the CPSU, on some other word. They began to think. Put forward options "Ka", "To", "Que" and others. Awaiting Chernenko died. So the word "Ku" left in the film.

According to the scenario Fiddler drove not vinegar and chacha. So, instead of the Earth to Alpha characters in the script came from the fact that the census and missed. When the film has already been shot, just turned anti-alcohol campaign and chacha replaced by vinegar.

The film chatlanin with tranklyukatorom after the phrase "I'll tell everyone what a planet brought this buffoon RV! Patsaks chatlians sat on his head! "Just out of the wilderness into the distance. Again, it only appears in the film in a scene where the characters reveal etsih. The script of his role more deployed. There Kyrr his name and he was angry at the arrogant patsaks, because of which he had to shoot the ball with the "last breath" of his own father, retired from the abandoned boat in the city to tranklyukirovat dovedshy to this planet of Mr. RV. In the city he blasted the ball with a "last breath of Mr RV," a revolution and seized power. After that, it all came to be called "Dad Kyrr." In a scene from the "last etsihom" heroes found not to Kyrrom and Mr RV, who was put in an iron box.

The song "Mama, Mama, what do we do" sounds at the beginning and end of the movie from the TV in the apartment Uncle Vova on which demonstrates a scene from the movie "Kotovsky" 1942. In this scene, the White Guard officers during the civil war are sitting in a restaurant they occupy Odessa and look incendiary performance of the singer, performing pop ditties about fun and riotous living odessitok ("from Odessa - here it is what, / from Odessa - passionate, alive! / From Odessa dancing and singing , / Kisses distributes / Those fun lives! "). As the chorus to this verse, male choir several times performed an excerpt from the folk songs of street children ("Mama, Mama, what do we do / When will come the winter cold? / You do not have warm kerchief, / I do not have a winter coat!") . The composer of the film "Kotovsky", according to the credits, was Sergei Prokofiev. In the film Uncle Vova plays the violin another, more simple melody, presumably taken from the "Lullaby" composer Philip VI (published in the "School of playing the piano," edited by A. Nikolaev).

The word "ku" coincides with the Portuguese obscene word «cu», which can be translated as "ass" (used to denote an unpleasant person or event). Perhaps precisely because of this comedy "Kin-Dza-Dza" in 1987 he received a special prize "For the pictorial concept" at the festival in Rio de Janeiro.

On the role of the planet Alpha Abradoksa director was scheduled Norbert Kuchinke, played the role of an alien in the film Autumn Marathon, but the leadership of Mosfilm banned shoot it for political reasons. Therefore, the role played by the director himself Danelia.

Song "on the river, on the river, on the berezhochke" which sings EFE, when taken to the iron box on Plyuk sounds in all films G. Danelia, which was filmed E. Leonov, starting with the "Thirty-three»

The episode in which the characters sing in a cage, "Mom, Mom, I'm going to do," filmed under the revolving stage of the theater of the Soviet Army.

The famous violinist Gidon Kremer asked the composer Giya Kancheli write a piece for symphony orchestra based on the music "Kin-Dza-Dza" and "Tears dripped", which he did. First received a piece of music performed in Germany under the title "Eine Kleine Daneliada" (Little Daneliada).
The play was written so that the music of the orchestra during a performance a few times should sing "Ku", which they do with great pleasure. In this music in Vienna it was staged ballet. There's "Ku" already singing female chorus.

The word "pepelats" (distorted Georgian "Ashes") means "butterfly". The name for aerial vehicles has already been used in the film G. Danelia "Mimino" (1977), where the hero of Vakhtang Kikabidze - a Georgian helicopter pilot Valiko Mizandari nicknamed "Mimino" - the so-called his helicopter (Asked for an old woman to carry a cow in a helicopter, Mimino knocks on the helicopter and shouted: "Ashes! Ashes!»).

Sketch pepelatsa painted Danelia, when Tbilisi Rezo Gabriadze, along with working on writing the script for the film. In just a few years, during which he wrote the script, everything has changed many times, but it was a pepelats appeared later in the film.

The film features several different sizes pepelats.

Pepelats where flying heroes of the film, made by G. Danelia and artistic director Theodore Tezhik picture. At the dump aircraft it was found Tu-104, which had a hard cut tail section. Then we put the cylinder into the collector of the sixth pavilion "Mosfilm", where Tezhik covered it with polyurethane foam and ofakturil by rust. A hinged doors, wheels and spinning propeller fashioned A. Batynkov - craftsman with "Mosfilm».

The thing that turns inside pepelatsa the ceiling is the hub of the main rotor of the helicopter.

The film was shot in the Karakum Desert, but there was an error, and load pepelats sent there by rail, lost in transit. Invoice was not found, because they were written "cargo pepelats." Accordingly, the railway, not knowing what pepelats could not find them. As a result, the director of "Mosfilm" had connected the KGB. Pepelats were found only after a month and a half in Vladivostok. Because of this incident, the film instead of the planned filming in the desert in the spring, was filmed there in the summer in the heat.

On the first day, when pepelats finally brought to the set and came to shoot, production designer pattern Tezhik said pepelats need some podkoptit will look more authentic. I lit the torch, began to smoke ... and decorations caught fire. (Polyurethane foam is a highly flammable material). They rushed to extinguish. Sand. Tarpaulin. Extinguish. But one side bankrupt. Only the night Tezhik and second artistic director A. Samulekin polyurethane procured from the military and patched pepelats. To patches were not visible, Tezhik again began to smoke. Fortunately, this time pepelats not caught fire. For the filming of the desert had to be absolutely pristine form, without any traces of people and machines. But without the people and machines to do the shooting is not possible. For example, to transport pepelatsa used tractor and a platform. Tractor for transportation of goods to the set always driving along the sand dune, and then directly to the camera. Then the front of the camera and put pepelats he closed an all traces.

One of the actors of the film - Levan Gabriadze (who played the violin) - after the shooting took a souvenir 40-inch layout pepelatsa, which is still kept at his house.

In a television interview, G. Danelia told the following story. Once one of the festivals approached him, an American film director and said: - I saw your "Kin-za-zu!". Terrific! We in America are very expensive special effects. Could you help us with special effects? - What are the effects? We there were no special effects. - Astonished Danelia. - Well, how. You also there is a huge rusty barrel flies. Is not that special effect? - Of course not. We in the Ministry of Defense gave gravitsappu so pepelats in our summer movie. Write a letter to our ministry - maybe they'll give you gravitsappu.
