Everyone knows Robin Hood, but not many has parodied him so well as Pasanen has done. Finnish movie-wizard Pasanen created a medieval world into late 1960's Finland and made a movie that is really fun to watch, though not all jokes give you another laugh after viewing this item about twentieth time. Despite this there are still some really good ones, that make you laugh every time you watch the film. The preface in the film makes a parody of Finnish literature and history so well that you can't but admit Pasanen's genius!

Great is also the music. The 'almost' a title song is sang by Danny, who plays a minstrel in the movie. As this movie is a comedy, not everything need to be from medieval age. You may forgive Pasanen for dragging Leonardo da Vinci from the Renaissance to somewhat earlier time. Some of the jokes are a bit contemporary and are difficult to comprehend as they were meant to be, but who cares. With 'Noin 7 Veljestä' Spede created a movie that is a complete entertainment with all necessary item: drama, action, music, jokes, strange machines, hot women and funny faces.

Noin 7 veljestä shows us a various group of funny men in medieval surroundings.Juhani Kumpulainen is Linnanherra von Wurtzburg, Spede Pasanen is in a double role as Sir Wilhelm and Robin Hood, Simo Salminen is Mauno Munalukko, Leo Jokela is Seppä Leonardo, Helge Herala is Rautahanska, Vesa-Matti Loiri is Huovi, Ere Kokkonen is Pitkä-Jussi, Jukka Virtanen is Veli Tuck, Olavi Ahonen is Pappi, Veikko Sinisalo as Takku and the legendary singer Danny is the troubadour.Then there are the beautiful women Pirkko Kankaanpää as Venla, Kaisu Vuoristo as Helena and Krista Sihvo as Leonardo's wife.This movie was directed by Jukka Virtanen in 1968 and Ere Kokkonen and Spede Pasanen wrote it.The late Jaakko Salo made the music to it.Spede movies were funniest among all Finnish movies.This isn't an exception.I found myself laughing at loud many times.And so did my whole family.Spede movies are great fun for the whole family.I have watched these movies with my family since I was a kid so I was very sad when I heard three years ago that Spede Pasanen has died.He was a great comedian.Sort of like Finnish Jerry Lewis.I could say Finnish comedy movies were funnier in general in the old days than they are now.Just take a look at this movie.I mean, when you see Spede singing his hilarious song, you can't do nothing but laugh.
