Shoot! A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff! (Originally 'Moscow')
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5qqfsQGYus That's some funny shit rayray, you made me laugh :) It wasn't orignally "Moscow", it was Dallas. It was changed due to Kennedy's Assasination.
Saw it first run at a movie theater in Brighton Beach Brooklyn when there were still kosher butchers with still-feathered chickens in the windows, bath houses and solariums, to service all the Central Asian Jews living in the neighborhood. It was Moscow, changed by State Dept request to avoid more diplomatic nightmares at the height of the cold war, then Dallas, then Vegas. Kong was musing they might end up crashing in Russian territory. That hundred Rubles wouldn't go over very well in Dallas OR Vegas, and the RUSSIANS clamored for nylons, already on the legs of women in both US places mentioned, and washing machines. In the continuity script it's Vegas, for perpetuity. "Survival Kit contents check. In them you will find: one 45 caliber automatic, two boxes of ammunition, four days concentrated emergency rations, one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills, one miniature combination Rooshan phrase book and Bible, one hundred dollars in rubles, one hundred dollars in gold, nine packs of chewing gum, one issue of prophylactics, three lipsticks, three pair of nylon stockings -- shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff....
