Olsen-Banden: Difference between revisions

''Olsen Banden'' (English: ''The Olsen Gang'') is a series of Danish crime comedy movies revolving around Egon Olsen and his gang and their (mostly unsuccessful) crimes. The series consists of 14 movies (the first is from 1968 and the last from 1998). Around the time of the forth movie, Egon started to commit his burglaries using highly unusual plans, involving creative use of everyday items, as well as social engineering by playing on broad stereotypes. These plans would become the most the defining and popular trait of the series. At the same time, a significant amount of social and political commentary was introduced. In a clear criticism of the capitalistic society, the number of [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Corrupt Corporate Executives]], as well as impoverished and alcoholic characters, rose dramastically.
