What really surprises me is that the ships equipment never picked up on those unauthorized signals. Hell they can pick up pavarotti in pearl harbour on their sonar. (Red oktober reference) . but they cant pick up multiple unknown signals in the 2.4 and 5 GHz band

That movie is not very realistic.

You're telling me that Sean Connery isn't Russian? He was so convincing in the role.

If only they didn't make them speak broken Russian (I suppose they used a dictionary with simplified transcriptions and maybe even a phrasebook). All the effort to do it with the less than satisfactory result could have been avoided. Even SG-1 aliens speak English.

As a Russian speaker, I wonder if there's a version with only those parts dubbed to Russian.
