* AdaptationDisplacement: The film is known much more widely than the novel, and character of Gleb Zheglov became much more charismatic personality than in the novel, particularly because Music/VladimirVysotsky performed the role.
* FountainOfMemes: Gleb Zheglov:
** "Criminal is to be jailed!"
** "What a kisser you've got, Volodya! What a kisser!" (usually is said to someone with bruised or dirty face)
** "And now Hunchback. Huncback comes out, I've said!" (usually is said to someone who delays his coming out)
** "Charity is a priest-ish word."
** "It's not a consciousness, it's conscience you've lost!"
* OneSceneWonder: Evgeni Evstigneev as Pen-Master (Ruchechnik).
