The Hunt for Red October did the same, the first minutes are in Russian with subtitles and then it slips into English mid sentence as if the audience adapted to the language. Very effective actually.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s Sean Connery’s brogue on a Russian naval captain, but at least it somewhat explains it. Clearly the captain is from wherever the Scottish equivalent for Russia is.

Sean Connery’s brogue on a Russian naval captain

I like how his Highlander character adds Egypt, Japan, and Spain together to produce Scotland.

Sean Connery as Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez, an Egyptian immortal who has lived for centuries in both Japan and later Spain

Pretty sure the Russian equivalent of Scotland is like perm to the southern Murals. Or maybe the Cossack descended cultures, IDK the Soviet kinda fucked over this analogy.

  TIL that Lithuania is Russia’s Scotland. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.
