I am in the present state of writing not familiar with the whole chronology of Olsenbanden film, but I must say this one was really great. Even though the narrative is a bit uneven at times and perhaps presupposes a knowledge of prior entries in the series everything in the movie has the stamp of genius. It is incredible that the series could survive even into the 1980s describing a sublime Copenhagen which still exists but perhaps a world which no longer exists. Moreover, this is of course comedy and extremely funny characters. Yvonne is a great character and so are the three members of the gang, and the two police officers, of course. The locations are also very interesting, and there is a function on the DVD which can list the names of the locations as the movie is shown. This is supposedly the last movie in the series. I have at the moment of writing not seen the revival from 1998 but it is hard to believe that it should be able to imitate the incredible magic and genius of the original Erik Balling Olsenbanden movies.

The last half of the two-part ending. The definite ending(as it should have been, and would have been, were it not for the '98 version) to the series. We get closure and the finale delivers. Most certainly. Dramaturgically speaking, this goes all the way. We experience the biggest, most dramatic plot developments. This picks up exactly where the previous one left off. As to not spoil the highly entertaining end of that film, I won't go into too much detail about that. The situation is the same; Egon still doesn't want to go back to prison, and Kjeld and Yvonne's celebration nears the date. The Gang is still chasing the suitcase, and their chase takes them into a hotel where the randy old Kai Løvring works, to Carlsberg breweries(finally displaying the Latin quote, which has inspired so many parody ones throughout the series, probably because this is the last) and even to Paris(where Bahs and Balling wrote most of these films, again, possibly chosen because this was to be the last film), all of which including funny situations and jokes. The "morally light" nature of Paris is not only joked around a lot, it's a plot point. There are clever references aplenty, such as in the scene involving the KBG("No, not *KGB*, KBG!"), Københavnske Body Guards(Bodyguards of Copenhagen), with the nervous and slightly neurotic Claus Ryskjær at the helm. Yvonne also participates more actively this time, as always, helping in her own peculiar way, never following what's actually going on. Paris is the setting for some very funny scenes, one involving Maxim's. Dick Kaysø makes an appearance in a small role as a slightly tightly wound crane worker proud of his work. Poul Reichhardt has a very funny role, in which Benny shows his immense humanity. The humor is all sophisticated, much of it is hilarious, and it always hits the mark. We can follow the reasonings, understand the conclusions. The Danish sayings that are changed around are also undeniably side-splitting(such as the very last phrase uttered by Holm, the policeman). The ending so perfectly finishes off the series. It's worth it for any fan, any *real* fan of the franchise. I recommend this very highly to any fan of Olsen Banden as well as Danish comedy. Watch the first 11, then watch both parts of this in reasonably quick succession. You won't regret it. 8/10

Well, Olsenbanden are back, Egon, Keld and Benny. And of course Egon Olsen has got a plan which includes funny gadgets etc. As usual the whole plan is about them being millionaires, but do they it make this time, or is Egon put in jail, once again? One of my favourites in the series.
