Go To

1* DirectorDisplacement: Many people think ''Gentlemen of Fortune'' was directed by Creator/GeorgiDanelia (who was a co-writer and art director).
2* MemeticMutation: As it always happens to popular Soviet films, every single phrase from the movie became a meme. Every. Single. One.
3* TheProducerThinksOfEverything: The aforementioned [[http://xaba-xaba.livejournal.com/410535.html game of chess in the hotel is real]]. You can deduce all the moves by what you see in the movie. In the first game, Sad Sack successfully [[BatmanGambit pulls off a chess gambit]] and actually plays surprisingly well for a criminal.
4* TheWoobie: Sad Sack. Before his life turned to crime, he had a wife and a son and was hinted to be a normal citizen and a member of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligentsia intelligentsia]]. Now he is a petty thief with a long rap sheet, no home, no prospects in life and a son who thinks he's dead.
