The Jönsson Gang & Dynamite Harry
6 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
As the title implies, in the second film of the Jönsson gang series, Dynamite Harry joins the group. Harry likes beer and dynamite and was never one of my favourites, although he is at least more amusing than the Finnish imbecile Rocky, whom he would later sort of replace (in this movie, both are part of the gang).

Like all of the other films in the series, Jönssonligan & Dynamite Harry starts with a failed heist, this time against the restaurant Berns Salonger, after which the brain of the group, Charles-Ingvar Jönsson, is arrested, but then has a new, more elaborate plan when he is released from prison. What distinguishes it from the rest of the films is perhaps that the other members of the gang are unusually reluctant to do another heist, since they are trying to lead a life without crime. Indeed, it takes some 40 minutes before they actually agree to do it, and they then change their minds both one and two times. Having Charles-Ingvar do a large part of the plan by himself takes away some of the fun group dynamics of the other films, but I guess it is nice that it is not quite as formulaic as the rest.
