Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted March 25, 2019 Has anyone gone and seen this at their local theater? My daughter and I did this past weekend and it was really good. Didn't realize what the organization went through to get these guys. 2 Rick D and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 Stream The Russian 5 Movie The above link is to the Russian 5 Movie's website. They're making the movie available to stream at home as of tomorrow June 7. Looks like the cost is $10.00. Probably well worth it, as that's the price of like 1 movie ticket. I'll be watching tomorrow night. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like it would be good. On 6/6/2019 at 6:21 PM, F.Michael said: If it doesn't involve Avtomat Kalashnikova then I'm not interested. Is she still dating Fedorov?

AtlantaHotWings 1,119 Report post Posted June 9, 2019 Bought it off Amazon Prime and think it was worth the $$ Watched it with GF and though she is not a huge fan(YET). She thought it was a pretty cool movie. Some of the cartoon things reminded me of the Sin City movie. But when Slava talked about man tears over Vladdy........ Was cool and weird seeing Dave Strader and Brian Murray talking about the Wings. Too bad the movie folks didn't get a chance to include an interview with Mr I. Jimmy D was like your old uncle telling the story 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,110 Report post Posted June 9, 2019 Haven't gotten it yet, but I did get a chance to see the Bob Probert Story....Nice! It was great! Didn't know Jacques Demers was such a jerk when it came to him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arag 308 Report post Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) One of the best sports documentaries ever made. The book is also great with more details that are not mentioned in the film. And the cover of course is Epic! Well done by “The Russian Five” creators. I think they deserve the highest award in this category.

I know its a documentary, but it seems like a cross between a hockey movie and a Tom Clancy thriller. Sounds like it would be good. Is she still dating Fedorov? So I got it on VUDU, was $4.00 for a 24 hour rental, or $10.00 to own it. I just decided to buy it, as I will probably watch again. Definitely more interviews and story telling than actual hockey. Was kinda hoping for more Russian 5 highlights personally, but it was still good all the same. Like others have said, it's something you can watch with the wife, girlfriend, side-chick, and they probably won't get bored. Anybody else low key get the impression that Kozlov is a total bad ass? Also interesting to hear how excited Vladdy was to defect. Like Fedorov seemed more cautious about it, but Vladdy deep down just wanted the hell out. Jim Devellano also is not a real person. It is reveled after the credits that he passed in 1996 and the Wings replaced him with an animatronic robot. He operates much like an Amazon Alexa or Apple Siri, except he can only parrot information about hockey and ruin thanksgiving.

I thought maybe he was replaced by an Ontario Provincial Police Officer with strikingly similar looks and sound. But just a slightly different hair part.

The 91 of Ryans 3,019 Report post Posted June 19, 2019 Just realizing now that the Jim Lites that orchestrated Fedorov's defection is the same guy that called Seguin and Benn "******* horse s***" He's a double hero, basically. 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,110 Report post Posted June 19, 2019 Honestly, ya it was good to watch, but I lived through it live, and heard all the stories about how they came here right when or after they happened. I watched live on TV the whole Fedorov defection, and knew of the fake Vladdy injury, along with Kozy's car accident. I watched Red Army, so I already knew the entire Festisov and Larinov stories. I was a little bit disappointed in it. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but after it was over,I felt like I just watch an extended fan video on YouTube. Yes, there were some things and interviews that I did not see back then, and that is what made it good, but it still felt like a YouTube video. Sorry, that is just my opinion.

Barrie 900 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) You can be cheap, like me, and watch it for free if you want. I was all ready to pay $5, but someone put it on youtube for nothin' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voN3IrxZFpw Very well done, it's emotional at the end with the limo accident and winning the Cup again in 1998. Oh, I was also yelling at the TV when they showed Claude Lemieux sucker punch Kozlov and hit Draper, "I hate you Claude Lemieux!!" ... I will always hate that snake!

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 I really enjoyed it. Showed it to a non hockey fan out here in Phoenix and they enjoyed it so thats a good endorsement. I will say I did enjoy the book a little more as it went into more detail for all subjects the movie covered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
