A term used in circles of russian cinema fans in opposite to "Chekhov's gun". If Bondarchuk's gun appears in the plot, it will never be used. Was first mentioned by Russian cinema reviewer "Badcomedian" in the review of Fedor Bondarchuk's film "Prityazhenie" (attraction) as a joke.
-Have you seen that new film about a part of soviet history by Nikita Mikhalkov?
-Yeah, the love line in the plot is definitely the Bondarchuk's gun.
