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.

"The original is always better" is the standard war-cry in a re-making or transfer ... yes I'm aware. I grew up with the Danish original Olsen-Banden but was very aware not to judge this Swedish re-enactment compared to the original but on its own merits. Being a knock-off of the most successful movie series in Denmark there are high expectations though. I see many Swedish comedies and series and love most of them immensely. Jönssonligan is a disaster on every level. It is heavy-handed, amateurish, unfunny, forced ... everything is awkward. A school play when it goes wrong. The characters are not believable and uncharming, the music is cheap and uninteresting, the gags are not meticulously perfected in details as is the trademark of the original. Doesn't need to be the same but the perfectionism in the details is a must to make it work. The magic in the Danish series, which they were right to try to implement in a Swedish context and to Sweditize, is totally lost. What a shame, they got it all handed on a silver plate. Not even the walk they got right, the magic are the small steps the middle man do to keep in sync. But at least they kept the characters. The laugh of all times is when a producer in USA wanted to re-do Faulty Towers ... and wrote Basil Faulty out of the script.

When i was young i didn't really care to much for this sequel it was decent nothing more. Last year i got the DVD and i really, it really was a masterpiece underrated though but a very good movie.

It has that touch of greatness when you watch it. Ragnar Grippe made an great soundtrack for the movie especially the intro sequence sounds awesome making it sound like an serious criminal movie.

I think if this movie could had become a big movie if it wasn't released a year after the first one. It has been underrated for too long, many find this movie the bad sequel in the series since they have not founded the greatness of it.

The jokes are good as always. This was also the last Jönssonligan movie Nils Brandt would ever be in.
