Peculiarities of the National Fishing (Russian: Особенности национальной рыбалки, Osobennosti natsionalnoy rybalki) is a 1998 Russian comedy.

Plot

Several friends (General Ivolgin, huntsman Kuzmich and Leva Soloveychik) decide to spend their vacation by fishing. Taking with themselves a large helping of vodka, they sail off, but quickly find themselves without much understanding as to their present location. Finally reaching some shore, which they mistakenly believe is still Russia, but which in reality happens to be neighboring Finland, they get off the ship and spend some time on the shore, eventually falling asleep. Not without the effect of previously consumed alcohol, the friends manage to forget their supplies of vodka as they sail off the shore. The quantity of forgotten goods being sizable (15 cases, with each case traditionally holding 20 bottles), they now face the challenging task of getting back their belongings, which now happen to reside across the border in a different country.

Series

This is the second film of the series (united by many of the common characters, although not necessarily with full continuity of content), which currently consists of four comedies, all of which explore the same theme but in different environment, which is reflected in the common first part of the name, Peculiarities of the National .... The first film is a 1995 comedy about hunting; the third is a 2000 comedy about hunting in winter time; the last is a 2003 comedy about politics.
