You guys will now be among the very few outside of norway who knows
hmm.. never thought I would go into describing Olsenbanden on the Lugerforum, but here it goes;

Ok, Olsenbanden would be in English 'The Olsen (common norwegian last name) Gang'. It's a series of 14 (!) comedy movies about a very unlucky trio, the first one came out in 1969.
They are thiefâ??s who always get unlucky in the very end of each big coup they try. Their leader, Egon Olsen, always end up in jail and every new movie starts with him being released. They are all great fun


Just like the books about Morgan Kane (total of 83 books!), the Olsenbanden is very well known within Norway. Especially for those who where young in the 60s.
( When I was a much younger cowboy than today, I finished all these 83 books in my bed from the light of a candle

tedious information you say ey? Hah.. you asked for it

Dwight, to be spesific.. it's in the opening sequence of the second movie that came out in 1970, "Olsenbanden og Dynamitt-Harry". In english it would be something like 'The Olsen Gang and Dynamite Harry'
