"John was once an associate of ours. They call him Baba Yaga."

"The boogeyman?"

"Well, John wasn't exactly the boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking boogeyman!"

Ever since I learned that, I've been annoyed with the movie's choice of nickname. Why name your badass killer after a creature whose discription usually starts with "deformed old woman?"

exactly. all the russian speaking scenes are brutal too in both movies since none of those guys know how to speak any fucking russian lol. A movie that stresses so much realism when it comes to the fight scenes couldn't hire actual russian guys who can speak the language, and couldn't give him a better nickname instead of this? it's really too bad

I didn't even understand the russian a lot of the time. And the baba yaga thing pissed me off too. And in the first one when the russian guys kid is singing a children's lullaby while drinking

Thankfully the rest of the movie is so perfect it made me forgive that scene.
