== Trivia ==
* Soviet cinema factories lacked modern Western weapon so in movies where the plot take place in Western countries most weapons were of the WW2 era, either captured from the Germans or lend-leased from the UK and US. That's why mobster Tommy Farrichetty had to use a "Tommy Gun" in 1970s.
