Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming is a 1966 American comedy film. A classic zany madcap comedy much like It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, the movie puts a twist on a Cold War story of the comedic chaos that ensues when the Soviet submarine Спрут (pronounced Spr-oo-t — "Octopus") accidentally runs aground near a small New England island town.Before long, the Russian crew are in very deep trouble. A humble comedy writer and his family quickly get caught up in the mess and, as you can imagine, Hilarity Ensues.The film was directed by Norman Jewison, and the cast includes Carl Reiner, Alan Arkin, Eva Marie Saint, Brian Keith, and Jonathan Winters. |

The Backwards Я: In the title card in the credits, and in the poster art as indicated above. To explain—the 'backwards R' is not an "R", but actually makes the sound "ya" in Cyrillic. And the backwards N is not an N, but is actually the short "i" sound. |

comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The Russians are more good-natured and well-meaning than in the novel, The Off-Islanders. In that novel, the captain is more self-centered (and plots to murder his political officer so the man can't write a bad report about everything), one of the shore party tries to rape a woman, and they don't help save a child's life in the climax. |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Averted; the spoken Russian is authentic (and not subtitled, except in the DVD release) |
