There's even room for a little comic relief in this excellent retelling of Nixon's "Final Days." Lane Smith's Nixon is probably the best impersonation yet captured on film.
One of my all time favorite history moments acted out extremely well from Mr. Nixon's autobiography. I wish I was along for this ride and I must admit, I would not have bothered with the seat belt. Secretary Henry Kissinger's expression is priceless and probably pretty accurate. I would have gotten out of the dark blue Lincoln Continental at the end of joy ride bent over laughing out loud.
The most powerful, AND LAUGHABLE, men back in those days.... Please someone make a film of them PLEASE! Will Ferrel could do an awesome job! replacing any of them.
One would have believed Nixon and Brezhnev both knew better than sitting in a car without their seatbelts on. Well Nixon at least realized buckling up might be a good idea. Seems like Brezhnev was tired of all that serious political talk and decided to have a little fun. :)
McLarenMercedes ......I went to Russia on holiday a few years back to a beach resort called Sochi .... a beautiful place. Several times we got a taxi from some bar or another and it is a great insult to the driver if you put your seat belt on! We learnt this as we went on......, the hotel owner wouldn’t let us leave the hotel in the evening until we had shared 2 vodka shots with him......and the water parks let you go down 4 people at a time.....Russia rocks! 🇷🇺
The clip lacks an important detail: in reality, the Soviet interpreter Viktor Suhodrev also joined the two leaders, having rushed into the backseat. Although, the then USSR Ambassador to the US Anatolyi Dobrynin claims it was him who interpreted the two leaders' conversation inside the car. But in any case, there definitely was an interpreter in that car.
There was actually a similar incident during Brezhnev’s visit in Bonn, the West-German capital. As a nice gesture, the West-German government gifted him a spanking new Mercedes. Brezhnev immediately broke it…
“In 1973 on the occasion of a state visit the German Chancellor Willy Brandt gave him a Mercedes Coupé SL version 450 SLC as a present. On a spontaneous nocturnal test drive on the serpentine road leading to Hotel Petersberg in Bonn-Bad Godesberg, Brezhnev did total the car in an accident.” He’s so awesome

Когда Никсона сместили в результате импичмента, Брежнев единственный из глав государств позвонил ему посочуствовал. Так что, советский лидер "империи зла" оказался намного порядочней и добрей всех этих "демократических президентов."
1:25 Of course the secret service guys will go pale: The Soviet leader driving an American gifted vehicle on American roads and had a fatal accident with the American president on board, who assassinated who?
Yeah for real. If an accident occurred and if anything happened to either of those men, it could've escalated the cold war quickly. Because ppl in each country ain't gonna believe their leader was "killed in an automobile accident" with just the 2 of them alone. lol
Imagine if Mao sent his agents that day to take them both out. "Victory, comrades! We have defeated the Chief American Imperialist Nixon and The Great Traitor to Marxism-Leninism Brezhnev in one mighty blow! Wait...what is that sound?"
HAHAHAHAHAH i love this, i got a cab driver just like that in Moscow, i was like "no rush no rush, slowy" hes like " it ok no problem i not go fast" lol yet we were doing about 90 in the back streets of moscow lol
Brezhnev was showing off the size of his... Fuel tanks, to Nixon. You don't grow up in a Russian village without learning how to show off your bravery and get into a macho exchange.
@DeNnaceTheMeNaCE Well, I'm from Slovakia (ex- soviet bloc) and believe me, this portrait of Brezhnev isn't that far off! :))) We had him on officials visits too, and there is a video of one where he is drunk like a fool!:)
Tak oni nám vždy ukazovali jen takového Brežněva, jak chtěli, aby působil. Silný vůdce. Ale on sám byl také člověk. Neměl rád hádky a spory, měl rád legraci. Na netu lze najít spoustu humorných scén z jeho návštěvy v USA. To nám samozřejmě nikdy neukázali.
the English speaker (narrator) sounds like *Nixon himself*, maybe this is AI fake narrator. these days the AI industry can depict any speaker using AI synthetic voice.
In the movie Frost vs Nixon this scene ACTUALLY DOES HAPPEN and the two men, Nixon and Brezhnev pull over to the side of the road and Brezhnev talks about his miserable existence.
Hey, is the best seat belt ever made! ,it's amazing what a little trust can do, when you trust the best. I sure if Nixen were alive right now, he would agreeee ! lol ;)
Nixon: "Stop there I gotta go"
Brezhnev: "Go? Ya let's GOOOO"
*flooring the pedal*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, I was almost convinced that this was actual authentic footage of the two leaders’ meeting. They did a real good job with the cast and acting!
it acatually happened tho
@@user-bl7ef2bu6b 小约翰可汗那来的？
@@user-bl7ef2bu6b He never said it didn’t. His comment even eluded to the fact it did.
yes, this "incident" is recorded in Nixon's memoir

Brezhnev is played by the Soviet actor Boris Sichkin who immigrated to the US in the 70-s.
What why is that a movie
Unfortunately, Brezhnev's translator was obviously played by the native English speaker.
@@DeadnWoon Sure? He seems to have Czech accent to me.
@@jano7642 OK, by the non-native-Russian speaker.

LOL Brezhnev kidnapped Nixon.
KGB and CIA went to search them together 🤣
@@tenzinnordenthinley7121 aww thats adorable
Yes, this actually happened. Breznjev had a passion for expensive cars combined with a rather "robust" driving style.
The two most powerful men in the world larking about in a Lincoln on the highway
Frankly that's poetic...
You can see this Brezhnev's car in Riga Motor Museum (Latvia). Very nice!
Nixon was played by actor Lane Smith. Brezhnev was played by Boris Sichkin. That Lincoln was one hell of a car.
"Я не первый день за рулём" LOL XDDDD
Hahaha
В тот день я заставил дрожать даже самого быка 😂
ГОВНОл
@@edwhitson9873что смешного?
Yes, according to the memoirs of Nixon, this event took place during the visit of Leonid Brezhnev to the United States in June 1973.
The movie was based on Nixon's diary, memories of his bodyguard and etc., so i believe it is :)
The actor who played Brezhnev was Boris Sichkin, who also portrayed him in Oliver Stone's "Nixon" (1995)
I thought Nixon was in that 1995 Stone flick
Леонид Ильич так искренне рад этому подарку😁👍
Yeah, lol. Nixon was due for some new underwear after that drive lol
The portrayal of Brezhnev is hilarious LMAO

I read somewhere on Wikipedia, I don't remember where, that Leonid Brezhnev was a crazy driver who was very reckless.
Леонид Брежнев - Тролль!

And the first Fast And Furious was made.
Brezhnev also received a Maserati Quattroporte from the Italian Communist party!
Ferdinand Porsche asked to brejnev to make a plans of Porsche car in Soviet Russia but brejnev said : we not need not serious people's cars .
Communism at it's finest😂
Thanks for putting this up.
"The Final Days"- 1989
Now I want to see a race between Lincoln Continental and Volga.
the car or the river Volga?
Бля... да это же Буба Касторский! Артист одессит... помните фильм "Неуловимые мстители"?! А Брежнев действительно любил машины и быструю езду!
Под 120 км/ч как зарядит)
Ещё тёлок молодых любил

ГОВНОл!
yep. the movie is called "Final Days" and its based on the Nixon's and his bodybuard's diaries
That comment at the end: "No modern president could have been less equipped by nature for political life."
Umm...
Hahaha, rofl, excellent. That is so funny - and beautifully directed. Nixon walks as if he has pooed himself when he gets out of the car. LOL.
Politics back then seemed like alot more fun, rip the Soviet Union.
Dude i thought this was real hahahaha
The film was based on the diaries of both Nixon and his bodyguard. I don't think that President Nixon would lie.
I love the irony. This tale is true though.
🤣这不就是小约翰可汗用的那段素材么。苏勋宗飙车。
等的就是你
I like it. Underneath the medals and titles, it's two guys trying to one-up each other.
Oh my word! Its him! That plays as Nixon he played as chairman Dick Dodge in the movie distinguished gentleman w Eddie Murphy good movie.
@djdirtbag514 yes, and the Lincoln was "donated" by FoMoCo. Daimler gave him a car as well but I forget the model. Leonid loved automobiles...
nice video))
What is the epic music that was playing at the end?
i wish to see "Brandon" become Xi's "Passenger"

Thanks, I did not find the actors name on IMDB who played Brezhnev.
...I am laughing so much, I can't breathe.
Idgaf what people say our history with Russia is fucking hilarious
Boris Sichkin, the actor would go onto play a Soviet hardliner in the 1998 film World War III

круто!)
Борис Сичкин как всегда оригинален и талантливо комичен -!
I only can imagine his performance on Akina mountain...
it did ,but with the "Papa's Benz"
How I drive when I don’t see anyone near by:
Did I hear that Russian say the car handled nicely or was there a bad translation
He had good taste there.
Joyride with brezhnev= Boss
Name a more Russo-American duo I'll wait
Nixon strongly was frightened
What movie is this from?
"We must not show weakness" 2:40
" Don t worry.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can anybody advise what the movie is that?
Дорогой Леонид Ильич не похож на Леонида Ильича, капиталистический подлог, товарищи!

I like the style of the other people who commented on this video!
funny story:-D I can hard believe it happened
Is there a real video of Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev getting into the car?
勋宗是是老司机，是二战和斯图卡飙车活下来的一批。
What is the movie?
What's this from?
Como se llama la pelicula ?
Brezhnev can get it sideways lol imagine seeing him at the lights with his eyes wide lol

Brezhnev looked coke out of his mind driving that car . Great driver as a political leader
Great scene! This really happened?
Yes
Brezhnev's favorite car was a Citroen-Maserati
Yes, it is true.Leonid Brezhnev loved american cars.
and made him look like a speed hungry perve
Lane Smith was brilliant in this movie. Such an underrated actor.
The thumbnail looks like Nixon is talking to a guy in a Nixon mask.

Adler : what the...
Perseus : ....
Nixon was a trip
@mmhardky
Drunk while giving out medals and a speech, not during a party afterwards or something like that.
@Indrius No because unlike Anthony Hopkins, the actor playing Nixon actually looks like him.
Brezhnev cracked me up.
