Prior to the dub's first screening on television, the film was released in English in Russian theaters on November 9, 1995.
Many of the actors that participated in this dub are members of rock bands.
Extracts from some of their songs are deliberately included as hidden references in this dub.[1] One example is how the song "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" contains an illusion to the Time Machine song "Turn":
Мы себе давали слово
Не сходить с пути прямого,
И бояться нет причины
Бородатого мужчины.
