The subtitle “The New Adventures of Shurik” implies that the “old” adventures of Shurik in Операция «Ы» (1965) somehow precede the events of Кавказская пленница (1967). This is not exactly the case, as Shurik (Aleksandr Demyanenko) is now an ethnography student and has no recollection of previous encounters with the famous trio of Nikulin, Vitsin and Morgunov. It matters not. This film has got almost everything: Gaidai’s signature slapstick; iconic phrases like «Птичку жалко», «Короче, Склифосовский!» and «Бамбарбия киргуду»; Natalya Varley, the new sex symbol of Soviet cinema; and even twist. Our teddy bears do approve.
