Contents 1 Official English titles 2 Harry 3 Cencorship? 4 Fair use rationale for Image:Olsenbanden1 l.jpg

[edit] Official English titles

Some of the Norwegian DVDs translate the title card on the English subtitle track. I don't have all the movies, but I found the the official title for Olsen-Banden og Dynamitt-Harry går amok is "The Olsen Gang and Dynamite Harry run amuck" (which is not a direct translation), while Olsen-Banden møter Kongen og Knekten has no such translation. These titles should be added to the article, can anyone help me provide them? Also, do the Danish movies have such titles? AdamantBMage (talk) 23:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Harry

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)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Olsenbanden1 l.jpg

Image:Olsenbanden1 l.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
