Jönssonligan
Encyclopedia : J : JN : JNS : Jönssonligan
Jönssonligan, literally the Jönsson Gang, is featured in a series of comedic Swedish films. The gang consists of the criminal genius Charles Ingvar "Sickan" Jönsson, hence the name, and his two companions "Dynamit-Harry" and Ragnar Vanheden. Eight films have been made in total, though in the last three the gang leader character has been replaced by the following characters, in order; "Doctor M. A. Busé", "Herman Melvin" and "Sven-Ingvar 'Sivan' Jönsson". The first two films featured the character Rocky, a Sweden Finn as member of the gang. He was eventually replaced by "Dynamit-Harry" who first appeared in the second film.
Jönssonligans arch-enemy is Morgan Rockefeller Wall-Enberg Jr. who in all the films have been played by Per Grundén. Wall-Enbergs henchman is Biffen. In every film except for Jönssonligan dyker upp igen he has been played by Weiron Holmberg. In Jönssonligan dyker upp igen he is played by Lars Dejert.
The series was originally remakes of the Danish films about the Olsen Gang. The main series has also created a spin-off series called Lilla Jönssonligan, which portrays the main three characters of the series as kids.
