The Olsen Gang Goes to War

The Olsen Gang Goes to War (Olsen-banden går i krig, 1978) is a Danish crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM.

Egon gets wind of a dirty deal: corrupt officials are ready to hand foreign buyers the blueprints for a giant tourist amusement park and fleece the whole country in the process. The payoff is enormous, and resisting a bite of that pie is more than Egon can manage — so begins his own little "war" against a state-sized swindle.

Ove Sprogøe leads the usual line-up: grumbling Egon, perpetually hungry Benny, henpecked Kjeld. This late entry folds satire of bureaucrats and big business into the trademark stunts, small crooks taking on far bigger ones. Every step is calculated, and every step falls apart.
