The Olsen Gang and Data-Harry Blows Up The World Bank

About This Movie

So, this film, "The Olsen Gang and Data-Harry Blows Up The World Bank," is a curious blend of comedy and crime that really captures the spirit of its time. The pacing has that classic feel, where things build up nicely to the caper itself, and the atmosphere is just light enough to not take itself too seriously. The performances, especially from the reformed Dynamite-Harry, lend a quirky charm to the otherwise serious subject of robbing a major financial institution. There’s an interesting commentary on technology and corruption, paired with some practical effects that, while dated, add a certain charm. It’s got that unique vibe—like a mix of heist and slapstick that only the Olsen Gang could pull off. Definitely stands out in their filmography.

This title has seen various formats over the years, with some editions becoming increasingly hard to find, particularly in good condition. Collector interest seems to spike for the quirky, offbeat entries in the Olsen Gang series, making this one a notable piece for fans of international comedies. It’s not just a film; it’s a piece of cultural context from the late 70s that reflects on crime with a light-hearted twist.
