action

Egon is released from prison again and plans to retire forever this time. Kjell needs money because he and his wife Valborg want to celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. He also wants to finally give her a fur coat. Egon brought a plan with him from prison when he learned that the top management of the insurance company High North ('Høye Nord') had embezzled money. The Olsen Gang therefore wants to get the “modest” sum of “five million” in a small and harmless-looking coup. They break into the headquarters of the insurance company and steal from the local Franz Hunter - Safe the case with the black money have misappropriated the company director, Bang-Johansen and his deputy director Hallandsen.

The stupid pig (Biffen) is thereupon set by Bang-Johansen on Egon and takes the suitcase from him again, with the order to also remove it. Using an old fish in the ventilation system, which they also used to steal suitcases, the gang members drive the stupid pig out of his porter's lodge and thus free Egon. The suitcase is back at Hallandsen, so a new plan has to be found.

But Egon knows that Hallandsen will soon be traveling from Oslo to Paris for a conference . On the way to Oslo Airport, they trick Hallandsen or his taxi driver and take his suitcase and coat from him. When they want to buy a fur coat for Valborg, however, they find that there is no money in their suitcase. Upon closer inspection of the suitcase, they discover that the suitcase has a false bottom in which there are sensitive documents. From these you will find out the true background of the illegal business in the “Far North”: Bang-Johansen and Hallandsen work for an international arms dealers' ring that does illegal business all over the world. They use the misappropriated money from the "Far North" for an international arms trade that is carried out in Paris. Buy Bang-Johansen and Hallandsen for 750 million US dollars arms to them then for over a billion $ in several African civil war countries to sell.

The police also have information on the case, but they prefer to investigate the matter carefully because the matter is too sensitive for them. Detective Inspector Hermansen has returned after an illness and has to discover that his assistant Holm has taken over his position as the first inspector. Hermansen now has to help his former subordinate Holm as an assistant, who also has no interest in the matter or is incapable.

Olsen sees the papers on the illegal arms deals as his chance to get hold of the money. He insures himself with the insurance company "Hoher Norden" for a sum of millions, so that theoretically it would not be financially justifiable to get rid of Egon. At the handover meeting with Bang-Johansen, this Egon points out that he probably didn't read the fine print correctly, which makes the contract ineffective. Again Bang Johansen gives the stupid pig the job of eliminating Egon. At the last second, Kjell and Benny are able to rescue him from the Alnabru chemical plant near Oslo, where he is to be dissolved in acid . After Egon narrowly escaped the stupid pig, he ponders new methods to steal the suitcase from Director Bang-Johansen. In a hotel in Oslo, where Hallanden and Bang-Johansen are with the suitcase, Egon wants to take it from them again. Hallandsen and Bang-Johansen have hired the private security service KBG (Kristoffersens Body Guards) as bodyguards for the "Far North" and their personal protection in order to avoid further incidents. But in order to sneak into the hotel unnoticed, Egon disguises himself as a woman named "Egone" and persuades Valborg to take part in the coup. You apply to be a female cleaner in the hotel in order to get the red suitcase. They successfully tricked the KBG security service and their boss, the cleaning inspector, and got the suitcase back. But they are exposed and have to flee. A wild car hunt through the whole of Oslo begins, in which the KBG chases them with their vans and police vehicles join the chase. The Olsen gang managed to escape with their suitcase at the last moment. On her return to Kjell's apartment, Egon is arrested by the police and the suitcase with the documents confiscated. It all seems lost. For the police, the case initially seems very clear: Egon Olsen is the scapegoat. Holm is praised by the Norwegian Minister of Justice Mona Røkke , whom he obviously knows personally and who even uses her first name Mona on the phone, and Hermansen is given early retirement. After Egon is back in prison, Benny finds the coat in the trunk of his car that they had taken from Hallandsen at the time. Benny and Kjell discover several bundles of banknotes in the coat. That's all of the booty.

The arms trade is uncovered and thwarted by the Justice Ministry after the secret documents from Egon Olsen's suitcase have been evaluated. The scapegoat Egon Olsen is now being rehabilitated, released and declared a Norwegian folk hero because he saved the peace in the world. In a special edition of the Dagbladet it is announced on the front page: "Egon Olsen secured world peace!" Egon Olsen and his gang are driven to Oslo airport in a luxury limousine and are escorted by the police. Before that, they dressed themselves in new suits and Valborg is finally getting her new fur coat. At the airport, a chartered waiting SAS Scandinavian Airlines - aircraft on it, that will take them to the millions from their last successful coup right after Monte Carlo. Her former adversary, Detective Inspector Hermansen, is again in charge and directs the police orchestra, which she ceremoniously says goodbye to when boarding her plane. What the Olsen Gang does not notice, however: In the cockpit of the plane, of all people, sits their greatest enemy, the stupid pig (Biffen). The plane with the Olsen Gang takes off and flies towards Monaco ...

The End??? (Norwegian: Slutt ???, appears at the end of the film).

criticism

“That's laughable again - a lot of convulsive entanglements and a humor of the simplest level - the whole thing is so downright stupid that it can sometimes seem funny again. The types can sometimes laugh, like Carsten Byhring's wonderful Kjell and his eternal Valborg in Aud Schønemann's fabulous portrayal. And about police chief Hermansen, played by Sverre Wilberg. We fall for this hopeless fellow irresistibly - so now we mean Hermansen. Harald Heide-Sten junior as a taxi driver with roots in Hellas is also a small find. "

- Bjørn Brøymer in "Morgenbladet" :

History of origin

  • Olsenbandens aller siste kupp was produced by Teamfilm AS with the support of Nordisk Film , as well as the joint use of their film studio and sets in Valby . Sometimes the different Olsen gangs (Danish and Norwegian) play in the same place. Some film scenes or sequences were partly taken from the templates The Olsen Gang flies over the plank and The Olsen gang flies over all mountains , such as B. should be killed in the acid factory of Egon.
  • In contrast to the Danish films, here, as was originally planned by Henning Bahs and Erik Balling , the twelfth and thirteenth films were combined into a Norwegian Olsen gang film. In Denmark it made two films, the twelfth film: The Olsen Gang flies over the plank and the thirteenth film: The Olsen gang flies over the mountains. In Norway, the thirteenth film was later (1984) made as an independent sequel, without a Danish template with the title: Men Olsenbanden var ikke død! (But the Olsen gang wasn't dead)
  • The film ends with the same scene as the sequel Men Olsenbanden var ikke død! begins, where they bid farewell to millionaires from Oslo Airport.

Remarks

  • Under the title: The Olsen Gang and their very last coup , the film was shown in 1997 at the Nordic Film Days in Lübeck . The film has since been released on VHS , DVD and Blu-Ray . A German-language publication does not yet exist for this film.
