Untitled[edit]

Quote from the article:

A good deal of the plot is based the fact that ordinary matchsticks (kts) (or, rather, the chemicals of the match head) are extremely precious.

I don't remember any talk about chemicals of the match head in the film. It that assertion in brackets founded? RoboTact 18:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This assertion is based on the scene where Wef appears to be using knife to separate chemicals on the head from wooden stick, packing both of them afterwards. Given the fact that burned match loses any value (which wouldn't have been the case if wooden stick was precious) the theory have some credence. Barvinok (talk) 20:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The lead should be modified. I lived all my life in Russia and I can attest that neither is this obscure movie "considered a cult film", nor it is "credited for lost of funny quotes". --Ghirla | talk 11:56, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong. Just search Yandex for any of the terms from the film. Thousands of pages for each: [1] [2] [3] etc. etc. These words and quotes have really become part of the everyday Russian language. If this is not a cult film, I don't know what is. Trapolator 02:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I guess the English word "cult film" may be fitting in any case; I believe that it is often used for films that have a devout following which is not necessarily anywhere near a majority, extreme examples being The Apple, a "delightfully trashy" musical, and Nosferatu, a vintage silent era horror film. Certainly references to Kin-Dza-Dza aren't part of common Russian culture quite to the same extent as, say, those to Beloye solnce pustyni or to Gayday's comedies, but the film is more or less well-known, it is relatively often aired on channels such as Nashe kino and does have its fans. --91.148.159.4 (talk) 23:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is very well known in Kazakhstan and I have been hearing the lines from the movie for a long time. It sure had a great impact on society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lolbopoh (talk • contribs) 21:24, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

The Plot section is extremely unorgonized. It's essentially a summary not of the movie, but of the fictional alien society that is shown. I think all these descriptions of the aliens should be moved to a different section, and the Plot section should be rewritten to describe more of the story. There is currently almost no description of the plot of this film in this article. --Ilyag 03:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, still true as of 2009.--91.148.159.4 (talk) 00:27, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DVD[edit]

There are currently no plans to release the DVD in Europe or North America. Is this true yet? RUSCICO made a multi language version. see http://www.ruscico.com/dvd.php?lang=en&dvd=316 --Hutschi (talk) 13:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Time travel?[edit]

The film is in the category:time travel films. IIRC, there is no time travel occuring in the story, could someone give an authoritative opinion on this? Paradoctor (talk) 19:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    Actually, just before end of of movie protagonists sent back to time before they met first alien. It's not classic time travel, but rather time reverse and changing of next events.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.124.211.254 (talk) 22:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The time travel events do happen in film — in fact, twice. First, they were sent back in time by the supervisor of the planet Alpha — to the planet Pluk by the campfire. Secondly, they were sent back in time by the same alien they met first — the one with handheld spacetravel device, this time to mere minutes before they met him originally in the beginning of the film.
