Author: mithrandir1988 from Russian Federation

> Red Heat was altogether different in its depiction of the Russian culture - quite a bit more realistic. I'm really surprised that there are such people in the US who really do believe this. Are you serious? Well, that's even more funnier than the movie. You know, Red Heat is a kind of hieratic film in Russia today. It's a great way to have a nice time, making fun of stupid stereotypes about Russia. And the most funny thing is that these stereotypes (as we can see from such comments) are still alive. "Close to reality", lol, how do you know that? Anyway, Red Heat is one of the greatest representatives of so-called "klukva-art". And the less of bears, balalaikas and matrioshkas sure can't bring it "closer to reality".

P.S. Doviray mnie, tovarisch!
