Why in the third "Elusive" was not Buba Kastorsky



I think you all well remember that the film "New Adventures of the Elusive" ends with the death of Buba of Kastorsky. But in the third film, The Crown of the Russian Empire, Buba was to reappear on the screens as head of the army theater. How he survived, Buba had to tell himself in a new film


The character was present in the scenario application and the editorial board agreed that he was necessary in the new film - Buba enjoyed success and love from the audience. Moreover, the board recommended strengthening its image "to more fully reveal the creative potential of B. Sichkin"

The opportunity to revive Bubu arose in Keosayan due to the fact that during the filming of the previous film, due to weather conditions, they were unable to capture the frame on which the actor’s death was recorded - a storm rose at sea. The spectators finally saw only how he falls, struck down by Kudasov’s bullet.

But, as you know, all this did not come true - we did not see the merchant Buba in the third film. Why? There are two versions for this. According to the first, Keosayan's quick temper is to blame. Once he played cards in the company of Jigrakhanyan and Kopelyan with Sichkin. And Sichkin, sort of like, left Keosayan "foolish." He lost his temper and scolded Sichkin. Then he refused to take it off. For me, the version is not convincing.

According to another version, which was voiced by Sichkin himself, he did not like the script of the third film, he seemed to him very weak. He said this assistant director, who brought him the script for review. But she rephrased the words of the actor in her own way, so that Keosayan was offended

What really happened, we are unlikely to know. But the fact remains. The third film actually came out the weakest in the trilogy. And we did not see Buba in it. Perhaps his role would make the film more alive and interesting. But this is already from the field of guesswork.
