I don't know what he said because I don't know which scene you're talking about but there was no <i>mat</i>. By the way, <i>idi na hui</i> is pretty bad too--I wouldn't expect to hear that on TV or in a movie. I'm glad someone else likes Khabensky. I think he's a great actor too. I want to hear him in English! Even though the role called for a Russian accent, I'll bet he's pretty good. Micheal: In Russian he definitely didn’t use mat.

I've been looking forward to this movie ever since I learned that Bekmembetov was the director. And I REALLY wanted to see it after hearing that Konstantin Khabensky was going to have a role in it. Kostya did not disappoint! I liked the movie, and I especially like every second Khabensky was on screen. Still, for me the most shocking part was hearing a Russian, in the movies, actually say "Fuck your mother" in Russian. I was expecting the standard Russian movie "swearing", like Chort vozmi, Koshmar!, Idi na hui... But, seriously, yob tvayu mat was more than I expected. I would love to see it in Russian, since I know that the language is going to be toned down. Any ideas how Kazakhstani and Russian viewers feel about seeing Khabensky in an American movie?
