The Olsen Gang ( Danish: Olsenbanden. German: Die Olsenbande ) is a fictional Danish gang in the movies of the same name. The gang's leader is the criminal genius and habitual offender Egon Olsen . The others members of the gang are Benny and Kjeld. The gang members are very harmless and never use violence. Most of the movies start with Egon coming out of jail and the three guys getting a beer, while planning how to become millionaires. Egon is often doing time with for instance lawyers or engineers, who provides him with the information he needs, for example duty rosters for the national public record office.The Olsen Gang have been made in Norwegian and Swedish ( Jönssonligan) versions too. The original movies were popular in the former DDR and Eastern Europe, because the movies make fun of authorities, among others the police. Sometimes Egon is arrested, because the police cannot get to the big fishes, so they have to find a scapegoat. Superintendent Jensen tells his younger colleague, inspector Holm: "The only thing the police can do, when the real big criminals comes by, is offer them protection!"
The first 13 movies were directed by Erik Balling, while Tom Hedegaard and Morten Arnfred directed the fourteenth and final Olsen Gang movie. The scripts were made by Henning Bahs , who also worked as a production designer, and Erik Balling.
