Olsen-banden på spanden (The Olsen gang in a fix in English) was a 1969 gangster comedy movie of the Danish Olsenbanden series. As for the comic intent of the series, guns were used in the movie mostly for comic effects, i.e. to represent the ruthlessness or madness of certain characters.

The following guns were used in the film Olsen-banden på spanden:

Tommy Gun SMG

SMGs that look very much like the Thompson M1928 are used by Motzarella's trenchcoat thugs. Stereotypically, they are also carried inside violin cases. They are used throughout the movie on the ocassions of intimidating pub owner Tjener Hansen (Paul Hagen) and during a chase with the Olsen gang and the police.
