This is an almost frame-to-frame copy of the Danish Olsen gang movies, except from the Olsens habitual beer (alcohol!) drinking and visiting prostitutes and making porno movies, which would perhaps offend puritan sensibilities in the Swedish Bible Belt (Småland).
What's the point of making a Swedish version of a Danish institution in movie history, when Danish and Swedish are just mere dialects of a non-standardized Scandinavian language?
Have society been this dumbed down after Scandinavianism in the early 1900s, was displaced by state-nationalism?

Plot summary

But he doesn't take notice of them, and he's picked up by the mysterious banker Wall-Enberg Jr. instead. He wants Sickan to perform a burglary in Switzerland, in order to retrieve the famous Bedford Diamonds. Sickan does this but is fooled by Wall-Enberg and nearly gets caught. When he returns to Sweden and re-unites with his old gang members, he's set on revenge, both physically and psychologically...

What was the point of this?
Classic!
This is one of its kind of all Jönssonligan movies. Simply the best of them. Gösta Ekman was one of the best comedian actor in Sweden of all time. When he gets in chock at the end of this movie he regards to a child and pretend that a shoe is a cat and that is so funny. I have seen the movie I think twenty times and I think I can see it again and again and again...
Masterful!
Varning för jönssonligan.. if anyone from the USA would ask me what Swedish movie is the best, i'd say the Jonssonleague movies. All those movies are very special and each has a great amount of comedy! The first one is my personal favorite! I saw this movie when i was 3-4 years old.. and i LOVED IT! I have never stopped watching the movies because they never really get boring. Every scene in the movie have a bunch of comedy.
The music made by Ragnar Grippe is perfect, my favorite is the main theme and the intro music.
If you haven't seen it yet,... go check it out because this movie is absolutely fantastic!
