Olsenbandens siste stikk , German: The very last prank of the Olsenbande , is the fourteenth and last film from the Olsenbande film series (Norway) . The film, which was shot 15 years after the series' preliminary, original conclusion as the final film, premiered on February 19, 1999 in Norway. The Norwegian crime comedy by Knut Bohwim , produced by Nordisk Film , is a remake based on the original of the Danish film The (Really) Very Last Prank of the Olsen Gang .
action
Egon has been living in Solgløtt , an old people's and nursing home in Oslo, for several years . He was selected for a Norwegian TV talk show on TV - NVYDALEN to report on his fate in a live broadcast. This program is also followed by Benny, who runs his own piracy taxi company "Bennys tut og kjør" with a Turkish and Pakistani illegal worker, and Dynamit-Harry, who was seriously injured in hospital after an explosion as a demolition engineer while building the Romeriksporten tunnel for the cloakroom and therefore needs a crutch to walk. Immediately the two of them, who hadn't visited Egon once in all these years and had lost sight of themselves, headed for the TV studio to meet their former gang leader.
While Egon is desperately looking for the toilet after his performance, he accidentally gets into the studio's prop room and finds a bowler hat and a suit, which roughly corresponds to his earlier appearance. In his old, new clothes, he continues to search the building's labyrinth for the exit and suddenly finds himself in the studio courtyard. Here he meets Benny and Dynamit-Harry, who greet him effusively. Together they make their way to Valborg Jensen's apartment in Oslo's Kampen district near Oslo . Kjell, the third man in the Olsen gang and at the same time Valborg's husband, unfortunately died nine years ago, and she has been a widow since then. She also wants to go to the south and retire because her son Basse lives there. Valborg still told: your son Basse has a long time in England lived and once in Dartmoor - Prison ( Dartmoor Prison ) in the county of Devon sat, but is now a successful diamond dealers. Basse has separated from his wife Gry and now lives in Spain with his new wife and a toddler. Of course, it would be very convenient for Egon if she had a new plan and that would give her the capital she needed to get to her son. In fact, Egon developed further plans during the long time in the retirement home. A 1984 plan was to raise money from Mega-Bygg A / S, which belonged to a certain Wilhelm Bang-Johansen. The company has long since gone bankrupt due to fraudulent bankruptcy, but the black money is said to still be in their company building, in a real Franz-Jäger-Berlin safe, built in 1944, the last one of its kind in Norway there.
At the same time, Criminal Assistant Gran observed the arrival of the dubious businessman Wilhelm Bang-Johansen on behalf of the police and his superior Chief Inspector Holm at Oslo Airport. Bang-Johansen has the same goal as the Olsen Gang, he wants to get his black money from his former company Mega-Bygg.
But not only Benny and Dynamit-Harry recognized Egon on television, but also State Secretary Hallandsen from the "Royal Norwegian Ministry of Justice". This one has a problem: An ominous large red suitcase with the label "Wandenberg" has arrived at Oslo Airport . This suitcase contains compromising documents, namely the highly sensitive Wandenberg documents, and this is currently causing some people in high politics to be very concerned. If these were to become public, the entire world order could collapse, as the documents provide precise information about all the major scandals of the last few decades. A first attempt by Hallandsen, with the help of two policemen, to have the documents from the central archive of the Foreign Ministry, where they are stored, disappear unobtrusively, has already failed. The TV show reminds him of Egon Olsen and believes that he would be up to the problem. He instructs his deputy Grønn-Larsen to locate Egon. For his part, Grønn-Larsen asks the police for advice. Chief Inspector Holm, who has succeeded Detective Inspector Hermansen, has submitted an application for retirement, but this has not yet been processed due to a computer error. Holm advises Grønn-Larsen to go to the last Franz Jäger safe of the 1944 model that was left in Norway, as Egon will appear there sooner or later. As luck would have it, this is the Bang-Johansen safe in his former company Mega-Bygg.
The Olsen gang, this time consisting of Egon, Benny, Dynamit-Harry and Valborg, set about getting Bang-Johansen's former “black bribes” out of this vault. When Egon cracked the safe at the company, the gang was disappointed to find that it only contained a few empty beer bottles. Suddenly the light goes on outside in the hallway, and the Olsen gang hides before Bang-Johansen enters the room. To the surprise of the Olsen gang, he did not open the Franz-Jäger-Safe afterwards, but a secret hiding place in the pedestal below the safe. There he takes out a diplomatic suitcase filled with several million. When the Olsen gang tries to take the loot from him, the security service of the complex and the detective Gran, who followed Bang-Johansen, appear at that moment. When Gran Bang-Johansen wants to arrest, Grønn-Larsen comes along and takes Egon with him by virtue of his office. Police assistant Gran also has to let Bang-Johansen go with the suitcase, but Benny, Dynamit-Harry and Valborg also have to leave without having achieved anything.
Egon is brought to Hallandsen, who gives him the job of stealing the Wandenberg documents - for a reasonable reward, of course. After two policemen were made available to help him, Egon succeeded in stealing the documents within a few minutes. After Hallandsen has received the documents, Egon demands that the reward promised be handed over to him. Hallandsen, however, has no desire to keep to the agreements or to pay the money, and moreover, in the interests of national security, he wants to get rid of an uncomfortable witness or unpleasant confidante. He therefore gives his deputy Grønn-Larsen the job of eliminating Olsen forever. Grønn-Larsen first tries to kill Egon, who has nodded off on a bench in front of the Ministry in the park, with a slingshot. Since he is relatively clumsy with this weapon, he only destroys a window of the ministry with it. To avoid the unwanted attention, he takes Egon into his car, drives him into a wooded area on the outskirts of Oslo and places him on a tree stump where he wants to kill him with a nail iron. Because of a "mystical hallucination" and his own clumsiness, the attempt at killing goes wrong again. So he just leaves Olsen sitting in the woods and panics and runs away.
Benny, Dynamit-Harra and Valborg had set out in vain to find the missing Egon Olsen at the same time. In Olsen's retirement home , however, they only meet their former Olsen gang opponents, the king and the squire, who also live there. After almost giving up their search, Benny receives a call from a jogger. He found Egon by chance while running through the woods and called Benny thanks to the business card from Benny's taxi company, which Olsen still had with him.
Of course, the Olsen Gang doesn't give up anytime soon. As Egon Olsen found out: Hallandsen wants to have the suitcase with the documents destroyed in the state-of-the-art incineration plant. Of course, Egon has a new plan: He wants to prevent this and get the suitcase back into his possession so that he can blackmail Hallandsen with it. The Olsen Gang smuggled into the heavily guarded facility as stowaways in a Securitas AB security service vehicle. Egon, Benny and Dynamit-Harry can - with the help of a boat hook, a bottle of liquid soap, a suction cup , a couple of ropes and numerous other utensils - actually recover the document case.
When Egon Hallandsen informed him that the Wandenberg suitcase was back in his possession, he was very shocked that he passed out. Olsen is now conducting further negotiations on the phone with his deputy Grønn-Larsen and again demands that his demands be complied with. In the meantime, Hallandsen was relieved of his post as State Secretary and Grønn-Larsen was appointed his successor. His first official act is to retire Chief Police Inspector Holm earlier than expected.
Hallandsen is transferred to Flekkefjord in the Norwegian province , and detective assistant Gran succeeds Holm. As the last assignment from Holm Hallandsen, Gran has to accompany him there and carry his chair after him. Egon Olsen receives 15 million crowns from the new, newly appointed State Secretary Gran-Larsen in exchange for the Wandenberg documents. He then disposed of the suitcase with the Wandenberg documents in an excavation pit, where it disappears, never to be seen again.
The Olsen gang with Egon, Benny, Dynamit-Harry and Valborg move with their money to Spain to the villa of Kjells and Valborg's son Basse to spend a peaceful retirement there. At the end in the new domicile of the Olsen Gang you can see Basse, who is just saying goodbye to his new wife and child and roars away in his Porsche. Meanwhile, Egon, Benny, Dynamit-Harry and Valborg sit on the terrace of his villa to discuss a new plan. When Egon is about to start and says: "I have a plan" and Benny says: "Helmaks, Egon!" (Mighty mighty, Egon!), "Let's hear it", the film breaks off.
In the end credits of the film it is shown how the director Knut Bohwim calls out to the Olsen gang with a megaphone during their planning meeting: “It's over! Stop!" The projected panorama image with the view from the terrace to the sea disappears and the headlights come on. It turns out that the Olsen Gang Terrace is actually just a movie set and the cast were all in a movie studio. The actors leave the stage together and congratulate each other as well as the director and all staff that they have now brought the last Olsen Gang film to a successful conclusion in Norway.
History of origin
In Denmark, the country of origin of the Olsen Gang, from which the originals for the Norwegian films came, in 1981 the Olsen Gang flies over the plank and The Olsen gang flies over the mountains (which were combined in one film in Norway), a two-part story to conclude the 13-year-old Olsen Gang series filmed. After that, the makers planned never again to produce a film about the Olsen Gang. When the main actress of Yvonne Jensen Kirsten Walther died in 1987 , another film in Denmark finally seemed a long way off, as an Olsen gang film without Walther's figure of Yvonne was not considered feasible. However, Poul Bundgaard in particular campaigned for another film for years. In Norway it looked a little different, as the film … men Olsenbanden var ikke død! shot his own Norwegian film without a Danish template. The idea to shoot another sequel also existed in Norway and failed mainly due to funding. The director of the Norwegian Olsen Gang , Knut Bohwim , had already written a screenplay himself in 1983, which was published in advance in a comic in the same year under the title: Olsen Gang raner hurtigruta (The Olsen gang plunders the Hurtigruten). After that, more stories about the Olsen gang were written, which were also to be filmed, but were only published as comics (until 1988). When the Norwegian Kjell actor Carsten Byhring died in 1990 , all plans for further Olsen Gang sequels were also given up in Norway for the time being, because a film could not be imagined without him.
When the decision was made in 1998 in Denmark to make a final film, Norway did not want to be inferior, and it was also possible to acquire the necessary financial means for film production. It was decided to use the Danish script as a template again. The 14th and last film by the Norwegian Olsen Gang was only produced by Nordisk Film and the TV channel TV2 under the direction of its founder Knut Bohwim after the film company Teamfilm was dissolved in 1994 . For the first time, the same film production company, Nordisk Film A / S, appeared as a producer as in Denmark, while all previous Norwegian films had been shot by Team Film A / S. At the same time, some of the same film sets and the film studio in Valby were used again . B. for the scenes inside the state-of-the-art state incinerator.
If the role of Yvonne had to be canceled in Denmark because of the death of the actress Kirsten Walther, this affected the role of Kjell (Kjeld) in Norway. Aud Schønemann , who played his wife Valborg (Yvonne), was still alive at the time. The Norwegians managed to integrate Dynamit-Harry, played by Harald Heide-Steen junior, into the film, which had been seen much more often in Norway than in the Danish Olsen Gang. The filming of the film "Olsenbandens siste stikk" began in June 1998 and the film premiere was on February 19, 1999, two months later than in Denmark (December 18, 1998). If the production of the fourteenth film had been discontinued in Denmark because of the death of the Kjeld actor Poul Bundgaard (on June 3, 1998), the curiosity would have come about that, in contrast, the fourteenth film would have been completed in Norway.
Trivia
- The shooting of the last Norwegian Olsen Gang film was also particularly tragic. The actor of Egon Olsen, Arve Opsahl , felt pain in his right leg during the shooting, but wanted to persevere because he was playing the leading role. After the end of this film, one of his legs had to be amputated.
- The actor Sverre Wilberg , who played Detective Inspector Hermansen in all previous films, died on July 19, 1996, whereupon they simply took other actors and changed the roles a little. Holm was promoted and a new role, that of Detective Assistant Gran, was added. The actors who play Norwegian police officers in this film (as Chief Inspector Holm Anders Hatlo and Criminal Assistant Gran Johannes Joner ) also appear in similar roles (as Hermansen and Holm) in the following series of Olsen Gang Junior (Norway) films.
- With Ove Verner Hansen an appearance in the role of "Biffen" or "Stupid Pig" was filmed in the fourteenth Norwegian Olsen Gang film. Due to the length of the film, however, his part was cut out again and therefore cannot be seen in the final version. In the Danish original The (really) very last trick of the Olsen Gang , on the other hand, the role of "Stupid Pig" by Ove Verne Hansen was retained as part of the film.
Remarks
- The film has since been released on VHS , DVD and Blu-Ray . A German-language publication does not yet exist for this film.
