The creators of the comedy "DMB" R. Kachanov and I. Okhlobystin, deciding to create "Features of National Military Service", in 2000 presented to the audience a lyrical and ridiculously realistic picture, which is a set of army jokes.
Character Gallery
The whole plot is famously twisted around three guys, by the will of fate, due to various circumstances, fell into the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. The little-known actors were invited to the film “DMB”, the creators deliberately avoided the abundance of domestic movie stars in the film's ensemble ensemble. The three key characters - Bayonet, Bullet and Bomb - are very colorful, however, like all, even episodic heroes of this film. For example, Gera's obviously somewhat crazy keeper in the incarnation of the director himself and the special intelligence officer, whose role was played by Okhlobystin.
Bullet
The actors involved in the film “DMB” were perceived as a successful springboard for the take-off of a creative career. Peter Korshunkov was no exception . The actor in the comedy played the role of Private Gennady Bobkov, nicknamed Bullet. The performer is quite young, he was born in late January 1970. After graduating from high school, he studied at the Yakutsk branch of the Moscow Art Theater School. He began his creative career in theaters, did not act in films.
However, everything changed after his participation in DMB. In the 2000s, Petr Korshunkov took part in the production of the comedy sequel, after which he played mostly episodic roles in various domestic film and television projects: Truckers, Take the Tarantina, Gromovs, Ermolovs. Due to an unpleasant incident related to the trial, as a result of which the actor was accused of selling drugs and sentenced to a suspended sentence, the demand for the performer decreased significantly.
Bomb
The actors raised the film "DMB" to the pinnacle of popularity due to their charisma and talent. S. Duzhnikov also contributed. Despite the natural acting data, the path of Stanislav Duzhnikov to the cinema was quite thorny. In the Kachanov project, he played the role of Private Anatoly Pestemeev, in other words, Bombs. While still at school, the boy made his debut on stage, after which he continued to hone his skills while studying at the Saransk School of Culture and the Moscow Institute of Modern Art.
Already having a certain body of knowledge, Stanislav entered the Theater School named after Shchukin only with the fourth attempt. After successful graduation, he began to work in the theater. Gogol. Since 1995, actively starred in television series and films. But the film “DMB” brought nationwide fame to the performer. Stanislav Duzhnikov starred both in the original film and in the series of subsequent sequels. Success in the acting career of the performer consolidated the image of Misha Dotsenko in Kamenskaya and Leonid Voronin in the sitcom Voronins. Also, the performer starred in the latest domestic blockbusters: Metro and 1812.
Bayonet
The image of Private Vladislav Kashirsky (aka Bayonet) on the screen was embodied by Mikhail Petrovsky. The most famous blogger, TV presenter and car journalist also received an acting education at the Theater School. B.V. Schukin. He was enrolled at the end of the troupe of the Ermolova Theater, but did not continue to pursue a stage career. His most famous acting is considered the comedy film "DMB". The actors, colleagues on the set, regretted that Petrovsky did not connect his fate with the film industry.
Sequels by Kachanov
The script for the sequel “DMB 2”, or rather “DMB-002”, was worked, like in the original film, by I. Okhlobystin, but two directors replaced M. Kachanov at once - M. Rafikov and A. Basov. Of the favorite heroes in the sequel, there is not only a mysterious storekeeper (R. Kachanov), there is no Bayonet, and his creators do not explain his absence in any way. Yes, and the charming Bomb, although it appears in the credits, but in the second part appears literally briefly.
It turns out that out of the brave trinity of key characters, only Bullet remains as the main protagonist, although this hero has lost a significant part of his charming recklessness and looks frankly dull in comparison with the Kachanov project. Although the first film was a bit naive, it was filmed a little clumsily and imperfectly mounted, but its atmosphere, charm and lightness atoned for all the flaws. From the idea underlying the picture, a whole series could be developed.
Of course, Basov and Rafikov tried to do this, but their creative passion was enough only for “DMB 2” (IMDb: 4.80), “DMB-003” (IMDb: 5.10), “DMB-004” (IMDb: 4.90) and “DMB : Again in battle ”(IMDb: 4.80). Each subsequent episode did not surpass the success of the first picture. Although the script of each film was based on the misadventures of the same deembesh trio. True, the role of the Bayonet is played by another actor, inferior to Petrovsky in color. The bullet is played by Korshunkov. And the most expressive hero - the Bomb - appears for the entire timing in two episodes. It is not surprising that the initially promising project did not reach the serial format.
