Ivan Vasilievich: Difference between revisions

* [[Coat Full of Contraband]]: The only place where Shurik can get triodes.

* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: The "real life" segments in the beginning and end, as opposed to Shurik's extended dream scene that takes most of the film, which is in color.

* [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]]: See the entry under [[Black Comedy]].

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: the Tsar gives his date of birth as "1533 since the birth of Christ", while a more historically accurate answer would be "7038 since the creation of the world". Russia only adopted the BC/AD calendar in Peter the Great's time.

* [[Nobody Here but Us Statues]]

* [[Royal We]]: Averted, for the most part. However, when the tsar is being interrogated by the cops and asked for his last name, he replies "We are Rurikids" (i.e. of the Rurik dynasty).

* [[Setting Update]]: The play takes place in the 1930s, the movie is set in the 1970s.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: to ''Operation "Y"'' and ''Kidnapping Caucassian Style''
