• Interesting facts about the movie "Kin-Dza-Dza!"

The idea to make a fantastic film about another planet came to the director Georgy Danelia head with the filing of his friend - Italian writer and screenwriter Torino Guerra. He complained about the Russian frosts and advised to remove something warm, "You in Russia too cold and long winter - make a fairy tale, to be able to warm up!".

Danelia decided to make a film about the inhabitants of the planet's hot, but in the process of discussing the idea with writer Rezo Gabriadze idea completely changed. A few months later they wrote the script, and then Danelia suffered it for approval to the State Committee for Cinematography. The minister said the director of cinematography frankly: "If it was not your script, I would quit this nonsense to read on the first page ..." - but shooting allowed.

The film was supposed to be called "Stardust" - the episode involving Seller of this very dust, which had to play Leonid Yarmolnik. Numerous alterations episode dropped from the script, along with Yarmolnik and took a new name. I invented it Yevgeny Leonov. In anticipation of the shooting, he bored singing some nonsense: "I have a portfolio-Fel, Fel and portfolio coriander-za-za-za ..." Everyone is terribly annoying, and Danelia decided from this nonsense to make the name of sci-fi movie.

In addition, Leonid Yarmolnik in the film had to be removed, but not starring several actors. Valentin Gaft was cast patsaks Bee, but before the shooting refused to work. Then the director called Yuri Yakovlev and offered him the role. Yakovlev was in the hospital, but the name Danelia made him a healing effect - he really wanted to work with him, and even in the company of Stanislav Lubshina and Yevgeny Leonov, but in such an unusual role! A few days later Yakovlev was already riding on set ... One of chatlan had to play Borislav Brondukov, but the actor had a stroke. The role of the erased, but the name Brondukova remained in the credits along with a photo from the trial. Beloved RV instead of which failed to free up time for the filming of Rolan Bykov played a film director Nikolai Garo. Participation Dane Norbert Kuchinke kinochinovniki banned, and in a small role Abradoksa starred himself Danelia.

"Fiddler" playing the son of screenwriter Gedevan - Leo Gabriadze. According to the script of his hero he was carrying a bottle of chacha, after drinking which aliens were delighted feast continued with brake fluid from the "pepelatsa" and as a result instead of the Earth came to the planet Alpha. Already shot the scene, as the anti-alcohol campaign began - for chacha would give 5 years ... and remade the scene - in the bottle appeared vinegar, and the reason for contact with Alpha became a technical error. It turned out not so funny, but it's safe.

the shooting area Karakum Desert was chosen. Work planned to start in early spring until the heat began, but the unexpected happened ... gone "pepelats". It turned out that the interstellar spaceship accidentally left Vladivostok and return only after a month. "Pepelats" was a weighty - it made of cropped tail of the plane, covered with polyurethane foam otfakturennym rust. To her tightened screw, made the door and put on wheels. By the way, it has Georgian roots of the name "pepelats". It is a derivative of the Georgian "ashes" - the butterfly.

When "pepelats" came the same to the set, it was decided to improve more - a little burn burner. As a result, the polyurethane foam broke out and from one side of the ship went bankrupt ... I had to quickly put the patch. Trouble at all haunted film crew - in addition to the long-suffering "pepelatsa" blown hurricane scenery ship in the desert, in the decorations of the underground "pepelatsa" there was a fire in the "etsih" driven by a drunk driver, and made for the movie rocket exploded at the start ... The operator Paul Lebeshev even theorized they interfere with the aliens, who do not want to on the ground for them to know the whole truth.

After the premiere of Georgy Danelia addressed American director with a proposal to make special effects for his film - very much it vpechtalil flying "pepelats". Danelia cooperation is not considered, so I said, it's not special effects, and a real flying pepelats. This development of the military, and it is better to refer to them as likely pepelatsa device - a military secret. Then the director got a call from the Ministry of Defense and asked no more fooling around ... In fact, the flight sent mock "pepelatsa" who traveled to the fishing line taut.

Filming began in the summer, and work was only early in the morning or late at night - the whole day was unbearable hell. The director told me that on the court for some reason, quarrel, although behind the scenes perfectly communicated. He even had a row with your favorite actor Yevgeny Leonov, who took off for twelve years without any conflict! Then local told us that from noon until two in these places generally no one does anything - there are any harmful radiation to the nervous system. Actors recalled how difficult shooting, but very funny and friendly - all rescued a wonderful sense of humor and ironic attitude to the film. Except for two hours a day, all in each other doted.

In Danelia had plenty of sketches of costumes, but it turned out that sewing shop busy working on a film studio "Boris Godunov" by Sergei Bondarchuk. It is clear that for the sake of a strange movie about the planet and Plyuk patsaks no tailors not released. Then the matter was taken for the whole crew: knitted t-shirts and pants bleach destained something tinted ink, all full of holes, wiped, burned ... Danelia gained access to the dump military airfield, where the team coached part of the scenery. And managed to get a couple of flight suits - they dismantled for parts, removing all the nets, springs, rings and other small pieces of unknown purpose, then to decorate them "aliens".

One of the flight suit went to the hero Yuri Yakovlev, but the outfit for the character Yevgeny Leonov collected in the truest sense with the world on a string. By tarpaulin sailor pants Danelia pasted found in a landfill airfield blyambu unknown purpose, on top of the UEFA wearing a T-shirt with sewn ribbons and unfasten pile outside jersey of a diving suit. Soft shoes got from the movie "The Legend of Till" and headdress became codpiece from of flight suit ... With the rest of the costumes have been easier - for girls Zahn just took a piece of cloth to rags on chatlanina Kyrra wearing was found in the garbage ragged coat and winter clothes Gedevan and Mashkov - a personal wardrobe Georgy Danelia.

Kinochinovniki film "Kin-Dza-Dza!" Without a single missed censorship edits. This all surprised, because it was not just a fantasy, but also a very rather offensive satire. In the box! "Kin-Dza-Dza" failed - the audience did not know who played the famous and honored actors, and what's going on ... But comedy enthusiastically took on youth shows. Interestingly, the "Kin-Dza-Dza!" Have become increasingly popular over the years, and already in the 90's comedy had more fans than at the time of the premiere. In 2013 it was released the animated film "Ku! Kin-Dza-Dza ", which was the last work of the director's Georgy Danelia.
