Brother 2 (Brat 2)

Brother 2 (Brat 2) is a 2000 cult Russian film directed by Aleksey Balabanov. It is the sequel to the groundbreaking 1997 post-Soviet crime film Brother (Brat). The story takes place about a year after the events of the first film. Having arrived in Moscow, Danila (Sergei Bodrov Jr.) learns from a friend from his army days, Konstantin, about a problem which has befallen his twin brother, Dmitri, a hockey player for the American NHL. Konstantin reveals that a dishonest American businessman named Mannis (Gary Houston) has ensnared Dmitri within an exploitative contract deal, which gives Mannis all of the money that Dmitri earns from playing hockey. Konstantin says that he will ask his boss, Belkin, who is the head of the bank, to talk with the American. Events spiral out of control, and Konstantin is killed. In accordance with his friend's last wishes, Danila journeys to the United States to save his brother.

==Handmade Pistol==
Danila's new girlfriend in Chicago, a prostitute named "Dasha", arranges a meeting for him with an illegal gun dealer. Since Danila knows that he has no money to pay for the guns, he decides to rob the gun dealer instead. Danila prepares for his meeting with the gun dealer by building a muzzle-loading, hand made pistol, which he improvises from materials that he finds on a construction site. The resulting weapon highly resembles a similar muzzle-loading black powder pistol manufactured by the Greek Cypriot militant group EOKA, which would later be made famous by the video game Rust. In the former Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia, such firearms earned the slang nickname "podzhig" or "podzhiga" (ignition), and they were widely used by various petty criminals from the 1970s until the 2000s, and even later.
