Keep Your Eyes Open! (Smotri v oba!) is a Soviet 1981 adventure movie, directed by Vladimir Martynov and Eldor Urazbaev. The story is set in 1921. Aleksey Komanov (Fyodor Sukhov), a young Red Army soldier, is sent as a commissioner of the local Revolutionary Committee with a mission to deliver a payload of warm clothes, gathered for Petrograd orphan asylums. He is assisted by Lykov (Borislav Brondukov), a motorman on a river tug. Komanov feels suspicious against Lykov, but when they are under attacks, two men fight side by side.


The following weapons were used in the film Keep Your Eyes Open! (Smotri v oba!):
