Is the Danish or Norwegian version of Dynamite-Harry alcoholics, such as the Swedish character appears to be, (although nevertheless good-natured and kind)?

The Danish Harry (who had only two appearances) is alcoholic, especially in the second movie, while he tries to stay dry in the fifth movie. I don't know the Norvegian version but don't think that there is a difference because the Norvegian scripts are very closely related to the Danish ones. --slg 14:36, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the norwegian Harry is alcoholic as well. --Egil530 22:43, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cencorship?

It says that the style of the movie (scantly clad women etc.) was changed due to getting a "younger" rating. It's my impression that these changes were made beacuse that style of filming were going out of fashion.--Nwinther 08:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Changes? In what direction? The wery first movie contain numerous risqué jokes about pornography, and about the gang running (or just haning out in) a brothel. The last "propper" movie, "Olsen-banden over alle bjerge" is the one where they hire a french prostitute, and the plan fails because Benny sleeps with her instead of doing his part of the plan.

Qey-words that sums up the series in my opinion: Slapstick comedy and elaborate heist-plans. Very much inspiret by silent movie-classics, sutch as Buster Keaton and Chaplin. (Actualy a signature element of the Olsen Gang is the long "silent" sequences, with voice over by Egon who describes the plan as we see it unfold, or just with no or wery little dialoge)
