Sep 11th – €94.99 @ Amazon.de

Collection no. 1165 – 1177

The Olsen Gang is a Danish crime comedy movie series that produced 13 films between 1968 and 1981 and one re-union movie in 1998.

Every movie follows pretty much the same pattern. The head of the gang, Egon Olson (Ove Sprogøe) is released from prison and he has a new ingenious plan that is impossible to fail. Naturally, at the end of each movie he goes back to prison. 😉

Here’s one scene (I couldn’t find a better version) where the gang uses opera music to cover their noise. It compares the original Danish version with the Norwegian remake. But the scene is understandable without words. 😉

That’s the trailer for this movie:

But I’m a bit disappointed. It’s really my fault because I didn’t check this beforehand (I just didn’t expect it): It’s only the broadcast version. As someone who knows the key episodes in their extended version basically by heart, it’s like an audio CD with a few scratches and the music suddenly jumps in the middle of the track.

I bet they pull a Lucas and in a few months / years there will be a Blu-ray Extended Edition…
