Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_21f60711	comment	Good Is Not Soft: Alphians. They are eager to help the protagonists return home and are polite and composed even when faced with their rudeness. But they make no bones about the trespassers from KDD, which given what the residents of KDD do to each other (and, in the script, what they tried to do to Alpha thrice), i.e. exterminate whole planets just because fuck them, is quite understandable. Even then Alphians are humane (well, from their point of view at least) enough to not just shoot the invaders on approach but turn them into cacti.

Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: "Pepelats" (those flying ... things) means "butterfly" in Georgian (the director's and script-writers' native tongue), only with a "ts" tacked on the end for flavor. Etzikh (jail coffins) is derived from "tzikhe" - "jail" in Georgian. Ketse (matches) are named after traditional Georgian clay frying pans. This caused a significant problem for Danelia, because the censors for some reasons believed that it was a sneak attack at "Ð¦Ðš" (Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party, commonly pronounced as "TSE-kah" in Russian).

Uef and Bi insist the difference between "Patsak" and "Chatlanian" is not racial, genetic, biological or ethnic. The only way to tell is to just use the device. Moreover, the planets in the galaxy are divided into chatlanean and patsakean as well. Thus the same person will be a master on "his" planet and a second-class scum on the "wrong" one. Both Chatlanians and Patsaks seem to be fine with that.

Oh, and they are from the 21st century. Also, Abradox is not a sufficiently advanced alien but an annoying robot sidekick.

Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_d7a92919	type	Indecisive Parody
Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_d7a92919	comment	Indecisive Parody: In a very interesting and strange way, this film is satire of both Soviet AND capitalist states. The creators are not quite sure themselves.

Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_dda99fa8	comment	Despair Event Horizon: When Uncle Vova and Fiddler realize that they will never get back to Earth, they are so struck by it, they almost kill themselves, until they are saved at the last moment .

Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_e11b003d	type	Translation Convention
Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_e11b003d	comment	Translation Convention: The inhabitants of the Kin-Dza-Dza galaxy are telepathic and usually have very little need to talk (which explains why there are only dozens of words in their vocabulary). Vova and Fiddler are not telepathic, but aliens scan their minds and learn Russian (or Georgian) and talk with them.

Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_e5a814a8	type	Only Electric Sheep Are Cheap
Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_e5a814a8	comment	Only Electric Sheep Are Cheap: Pluck's inhabitants destroyed the ecology on their own world and converted every single drop of natural water on the planet to lutz (fuel). Matchsticks (made of natural wood and sulfur) are incredibly valuable on Pluck.

Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_e8e56799	comment	Blue-and-Orange Morality Amusingly, it goes both ways. Just as the mindset of Pluckans is completely alien to the Earthlings, so the Pluckans cannot comprehend how a coherent society can survive without a system of colorful pants to indicate how many times people should squat before each other. Alpha is in the same boat.

Kin-Dza-Dza! / int_edcc813f	comment	Fantastic Caste System: Apart from the Patsak/Chatlanian division (below) there is a caste system based on the wealth possessed. It regulates how many times one should squat before an owner of pants of various special colors and if you have pants of a color lower than magenta you can be randomly beaten up by local police.
