Kidnapping, Caucasian Style!
Kidnapping, Caucasian Style! (russian: Кавказская пленница!; informally referred to as the ''Kidnapping, Caucasian Style 2'' version) is a Russian comedy film by director Maxim Voronkov. A remake of the 1967 film of the same name, it has a humorous plot revolving around bride kidnapping, an old tradition that used to exist in certain regions of the North Caucasus.

Per chance he meets and befriends a gi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
