Other facts

• On the contrary to a novel, film contains no such number of [...] scenes, so frequent in the novel (in the novel, '30th' womanizing every female character, he met on the way, and all those affairs are described to the smallest detail). Despite, its been shoot shortly after 'Glasnost' period, and sexploitation on the screen was widespread and encouraged. Vast majority of initiated audience (mostly VDV and Spetsnaz servicemen) considered that movie is quiet more interesting and related to reality. Like one of them said: "Typical soviet action for mid 1990th". That's cause Dotsenko, who is Director as well, has invited very qualified military consultants. By the way, actor Igor Livanov (the '30th') served ACTIVE duty in Soviet marine troops, and in his time he was well-experienced in martial arts as well.

• Dotsenko himself make a cameo appearance in one of the episodes, playing a cargo barge captain (you can easily identify him by the distinctive tobacco pipe he use to smoke).

• Dotsenko released more than twenty novels with- or about a '30th', a.k.a. "Rex" ("Mad", "Beast"). Only two of them were pictured: This one and its predecessor "Po prozvishchu 'Zver'" ("His Nickname Is 'Beast'"), an entirely criminal action without regard to the army period of life of main protagonist.
