This 14 film DVD Boxset contains all the Norwegian film versions of the Olsen Gang.

The Olsen Gang (Danish: Olsen-banden, Norwegian: Olsenbanden, Swedish: Jönssonligan, German: Die Olsenbande) is a fictional Danish criminal gang in the movies of the same name. The gang's leader is the criminal genius and habitual offender Egon Olsen. The other members of the gang are Benny and Kjeld (Kjell in Norwegian). The gang members are harmless and never use violence. A Norwegian version of the movies (a total of 14 from 1968 to 1999) were also made, sometimes produced simultaneously with the Danish ones.

Most of the movies start with Egon coming out of jail and being enthusiastically welcomed by Benny and Kjeld. The three men will then have a beer together in the living room of Kjeld's dilapidated home in a run-down Valby neighbourhood. Egon will inform his friends of his latest plan for making them all millionaires (for example, eluding an alarm system to steal some crown jewels that happen to be on display in Copenhagen for the moment) and instruct them to provide the necessary equipment. The plans usually feature everyday artefacts such as Lego, party balloons, cigarettes etc., which are combined to work like Rube Goldberg machines, and clever social engineering. Egon often serves time with lawyers or executives who provide him with the information he needs, such as duty rosters for the national public record office.

Egon's plans often bring the gang into perilously close contact with white-collar criminals from the Danish business (and political) elite. For example, in one episode some well-connected people try to make money out of the so-called 'butter mountain', a huge amount of butter bought up and stored by the EEC (now the EU) to keep prices up. Egon Olsen learns about this from a lawyer who is serving prison time, and the gang interferes with the plan to secure the millions for themselves. But as always, Egon after having succeeded with a genius plan loses because he underestimates the power and unscrupulousness of these people.

Egon is usually arrested in the end because the police cannot get to the 'big fish' and have to find a scapegoat. Superintendent Jensen (Hermansen in Norwegian) tells his younger colleague, inspector Holm: 'The only thing the police can do when the real big criminals come by is offer them protection!' This kind of social satire is one of the defining features of the Olsen Gang films.

In the early episodes, harsh language and temptingly dressed women were more freely used than in later versions, which were censored to suit youngsters. The Olsen Gang have been made in Norwegian and Swedish (Jönssonligan) versions too. The movies differs a bit from each other, but they follow a generally similar formula to the Danish films. The original, Danish movies were popular in the former GDR and Eastern Europe.

The Norwegian versions of the movies also have another character, 'Dynamite Harry', as the little brother of Benny Frandsen he is the demolition expert (although his nerves are very easily shaken due to years of having dealt with explosives and alcohol). Harry made an appearance in six Norwegian films, played by Harald Heide-Steen Jr.. He also appeared in two early Danish Olsen Gang movies, then played by Preben Kaas. In the Swedish Jönssonligan movies Harry showed up in the second movie, and became a regular member of the gang from the next installment on, since the actor who played the original member, a Finn named Rocky, had died. In the Swedish version, Egon was replaced by Charles-Ingvar 'Sickan' Jönsson, with a slightly different costume and mannerisms, and in later films when the actor Gösta Ekman got tired of the character, yet other leaders, who never became as popular as 'Sickan'. Benny's part was taken by '(Ragnar) Vanheden', a small-timer from Stockholm.
