Noticed a weird little bit at the end of the prologue. When JDW and the decoy get into the van at the end, just after "TENET" gets shown, one of the guy shouts "D'Artagnan!", which is the name of the famous french musketeer. It is translated in the subtitles as "It's not the guy!", which is completely different. If there are other fellow french here, they could chime in but I'm pretty much sure that's what the guy says. Sounds very French, without accent either. Which is weird cause they're supposed to be Russian? Could that be a codename?

I think they were speaking ukranian

That's right, it is the only time we hear russian in prologue - all the fake SWAT in the van and the real SWAT members speak decent Ukrainian.

It might be even done on purpose, taking to account that the russian Nord-Ost terrorist attack was metaphorically depicted as a modern-day Ukrainian incident.

That's (to quote The Special One) interesting :)

I don't know whether this has been pointed out already, but...
Is the guy in the black who kills the SWAT guy with his gun to JDW the same guy who comes out of the revolving room at the end of the trailer, and is seen writhing about on the floor?

Also, is Aaron Taylor-Johnson stood behind KB on the boat in the trailer when he hands JDW an oxygen tank?

The strange guy with the black SWAT suit who saves JDW is Robert Pattinson

I don't know if you guys have already noticed this before, but I just realized in that scene where JDW punched the guy in the face at the VIP room, he disassembled the bad guy's gun slide and used it to hit him in the face. Probably why he got knocked out cold.

Hello. As I’ve watched bootleg version of Prologue, I’ve decided to share with you one interesting detail.
First, I’m from Russia, and I’ve watched Prologue in here, of course, at IMAX theater. And, as always, English language was dubbed in Russian and Ukrainian was translated by subtitles. And in theater it was simple: “wake up the Americans”, “what are you doing” “it’s not the guy!” was in Ukrainian with Russian subs.

But then I’ve decided to watch camrip with original (English) soundtrack and…. Only one line has survived: “Че ти робиш?” (What are you doing?). The final line is clear in Russian: “Это не он” (It’s not him). And I have no freaking idea what language he spoke “Wake up the Americans”. So, what? Russian translators are messing up some things with redubbing non-English speakers. Or our translators are trying fix some things?
