The Olsen Gang's Last Trick
''The Olsen Gang's Last Trick'' () is a 1998 Danish comedy film directed by Tom Hedegaard and Morten Arnfred, and starring Ove Sprogøe. The film was the 14th and last in the '' Olsen Gang''-series. This film was a latecomer after a 17-year break, when the other films were recorded with an annual premiere or close to it in the period 1968–1981. During the recordings, both Poul Bundgaard and the director Tom Hedegaard died. Morten Arnfred took over the direction, while Tommy Kenter recorded individual scenes in the role of Kjeld (Bundgaard's role), and Kurt Ravn provided the voice. It was arranged so that Kjeld is either seen from behind or from a long distance. However, they had managed to get a number of scenes with close-ups of Poul Bundgaard recorded beforehand, so the replacement did not mean much for the overall film, apart from the end, which had to be completely rewritten so that Kjeld was not included. Instead, Ruth is the third member of the Gang. Plot After 17 years, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Safecracker
Safe-cracking is the process of opening a safe without either the combination or the key. Physical methods Safes have widely different designs, construction methods, and locking mechanisms. A safe cracker needs to know the specifics of whichever will come into play. Lock manipulation Lock manipulation is a damage-free, combination-based method. A well known surreptitious bypass technique, it requires knowledge of the device and well developed touch, along with the senses of sight and possibly sound. While manipulation of combination locks is usually performed on Group 2 locks, many Group 1 locks are also susceptible. The goal is to successfully obtain the combination one number at a time. Manipulation procedures vary, but all rely on exploiting mechanical imperfections in the lock to open it, and, if desired, recover its combination for future use. Similar damage-free bypass can also be achieved by using a computerized auto-dialer or manipulation robot in a so-called brute- ...
