Boris the Bullet Dodger comes from Snatch, Guy Ritchie's 2000 crime film, where Boris Yurinov is a Russian arms dealer whose reputation for surviving gunfire earns him the nickname. The character, played by Rade Serbedzija, became a cult favourite for his deadpan menace, and short clips of his introduction travelled from film edits to TikTok and soundboards. Creators still reach for it because the name alone sets up a joke about someone who cannot be stopped, hit or embarrassed.
