 Bad Liar: Rubik is hilarously bad at lying during the court scenes.

 It's a Small World, After All

 It's a Small World After All: Overlaps with Contrived Coincidence. In one scene, after having become an international pilot and flying all around the world, Mimino has a short stay between flights in West Germany. He goes to town to look for a toy crocodile to bring back to Khachikyan (for the latter's kid) and then tries to phone a number in his home village, Telavi. However, the operator, having misheard him, connects him to the same number in Tel Aviv. So far, so good, the two places do sound somewhat alike. What is less likely is that he speaks to somebody named Itzhak, who is -supposedly- a Georgian Jew, originally from Kutaisi; while there are quite a few Georgian Jews who emigrated to Israel, even before the fall of the USSR, the likelihood of just happening to call one by accident is somewhat low. However, it serves to both show Mimino's heart of gold, as he spends all his money on the phone call to console the homesick Itzhak (who, after talking to Mimino for a while, asks him how things are in Kutaisi, then sings Georgian songs with him and starts to cry on the phone) and has to walk back to the airport, and to remind him of his own homesickness.

 Cannot Spit It Out: Mimino was ready to go to the jail, but he wouldn't tell why exactly he attacked that man. Because he seduced his sister and fled, leaving her alone with a child.

 Hot-Blooded: protagonist. Once, he lashes out on stewardess who just asked him if he wants a glass of water, driving her to tears. He apologizes right away, though.

 How Mimino got that hotel room: he calls someone who knows someone who can get him a hotel room. After he came home to couple's home who are connected enough, says his name, they arrange everything on the phone and he leaves, they both wonder how exactly he is related to them at all. On a side note, while this is exaggerated and Played for Laughs here, the general procedure of obtaining quite a lot of things in Soviet times was exactly like this: through connections and friends of friends of second cousins once removed and so on, called po blatu in Russian.
