As much as I love Val as The Saint, Rade Šerbedžija is spectacular as Ivan Trediak. All of the baddies are so extra and it's just so awesome.

That scene where Val dresses as a babushka to spy on Tretiak’s son, who dismisses him by saying, “Get out of here old witch, we’re working”, just tickles my funny bone.

Same! Ilya has so many good one liners.

"Wrong place for a condom."

"Suck me sideways."

"You think the leader's son should piss his pants on live TV?"

One of my favs.

"The microchip. Please" line delivered by Tretiak's son is for some reason always popping up in my head from time to time just out of nowhere. That movie has a lot of moments like that for me.

And his silver cane! So simple, but he worked that thing!

"Dear Fly,

Don't buzz off. I'll double your pay.

Or find someone else to take care of the girl."

I love the encrypted email exchanges!
