Storyline
When a Soviet submarine captain comes up for a look at America (off the coast of a small island in Massachusetts) he runs aground. He sends his two English speaking crewmen to procure a boat with enough power to pull them off. The 2 English speakers, along with 7 other Russian sailors, don't exactly blend in and the town is convinced that they are being invaded. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Trivia
According to a Los Angeles Times story, the fake submarine had been previously used in the 1965 Marlon Brando movie Morituri. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At two different times both Arkin and Bikel are at a loss to pronounce "Gloucester", but early in the film it is shown to be /gloster/ on their chart, in very large Cyrillic letters. See more »Quotes

Crazy Credits
In the title, the letters R and N in RUSSIANS are reversed to resemble Russian letters (which would literally translate to Ya and I), and the G in COMING is a hammer and sickle. See more »Soundtracks
