Trivia
A total of 14 Norwegian Olsen-banden films were made between 1969 and 1999. All except one were remakes of the original 14 Danish Olsen-banden films made between 1968 and 1998.

Goofs
When Egon and Benny argue about driving the lorry, Benny stops and refuses to drive any further. As they have stopped on a slope, the lorry starts rolling backwards, as seen in a long shot. In the close-up of Egon pulling the handbrake, it's obvious that the lorry isn't rolling backward, but in the next long shot, it is rolling as Egon audibly pulls the brake, stopping the lorry.

Connections
Followed by Olsen-banden og Dynamitt-Harry (1970)

Bad imitation, indeed.

Though I'm from Poland, not Denmark, I have been a fan of Egon Olsen (the REAL Egon, Ove Sprogøe). I had a chance to see some of the 'remakes', too, and while they're not bad movies as such, they are blank and weak when compared to the original. I wouldn't go as far as comparing real Egon series to Hitchcock's "Psycho" and their remakes to VanSant's copy of Hitchcock's masterpiece - those remakes aren't *as bad* as the VanSant example - but it's close.
