Trivia
The scene where Lena (played by Helle Beck Figenschow) is at Pelle's home for the first time and he offers her to spend the night together, was shot in one of the first day of filming. In the scene 16-year-old Figenschow is seen removing all her clothes, right in front of Håvard Bakke, showing all her naked body. Asked if he had already seen a naked girl before, Bakke said: "Hehe, yes. But not many!"

Goofs
(at around 14 mins) When the white Mercedes draws away, two crew members are featured prominently in the half open window of the drivers' door.

Decent film version of young adult crime fiction

Much has been said of the dialogue, and this films cult status. It is a 1990 film version of a 1988 book, and much of the dialogue is straight from the book. It is meant to capture the 1980s sociolects, and is comically dated today, though reasonably accurate in its depiction.

Technically the film is quite good, the city shots of Oslo, with moving camera and on location scenes are quite good. The director makes the most of her film debut, and Døden på Oslo S far exceeds its two sequels. Having 15 year olds playing 15 year olds, is an artistic choice, that gives it a genuine feel.

Decent film.
