Yes, the scene on the sea beach in the middle of the film. Sukhov is captured and disarmed by several enemies. Ibraghim, the leader of the enemy group, looks at Sukhov's wristwatch, a rare thing in Middle Asia in 1920s. Sukhov gives his watch to Ibraghim and while the brigand is charmed by this thing, Sukhov knocks Ibraghim's Mauser from his hand, shoots two of three brigands while the third one is strangled by a lasso thrown by Sayid who is hiding nearby. Later Sukhov asks Said: "How did you appear here?", and Sayid says his signature phrase that he says several times during the film: "Has heard shooting".

Another good gunfighting scene is the final one when Sukhov is besieged in empty oil tank (the scene is too long and complicated to put the synopsis here ).

The film with English subtitles can be seen on official Mosfilm site: http://cinema.mosfilm.ru/films/film/...lntse-pustini/
