Speedy Gonzales – Noin 7 Veljeksen Poika
''Speedy Gonzales – noin 7 veljeksen poika'' () (1970) is a Finnish western comedy directed by Ere Kokkonen, and written by Kokkonen with Spede Pasanen and Vesa-Matti Loiri. The title refers to Pasanen's 1968 film '' Noin seitsemän veljestä'', though the movie does not otherwise link to it in any way. Neither has it anything to do with the cartoon character Speedy Gonzales. The basic premise of the movie is to poke fun at the conventions and clichés of Spaghetti Westerns, which is accomplished by the juxtaposition of serious elements with the parody that Pasanen was famous for. The resulting film is considered both a tribute and a mockery of westerns as a whole. The film was a success, which led to the creation of a sequel, '' Hirttämättömät'', released the following year. Synopsis The outlaw Speedy Gonzales rides into town in New York to investigate the death of his brother, Mooses. Despite being met by resistance from the locals, he is determined to solve the crime. ...

Simo Salminen
Simo Veli Atte Salminen (8 November 1932 – 2 September 2015) was a Finnish comic-actor best known for his many performances in movies and television shows by Spede Pasanen, usually playing his sidekick in some fashion. Salminen alongside Vesa-Matti Loiri and Pasanen himself were the three important players in almost all of Pasanen's productions. He frequently played a supporting or at the very least a relevant secondary character in many of Pasanen's films, usually the bungling assistant to the main character (often portrayed by Pasanen). His characters were frequently also called "Simo" (such as in '' Pähkähullu Suomi'', ''Koeputkiaikuinen ja Simon enkelit''). Salminen is best remembered for the role of the luckless mechanic Sörselssön, working at an auto-repair shop with the foul-mouthed Härski Hartikainen (Pasanen) in the '' Uuno Turhapuro'' film series. Jukka Virtanen, director of Millipilleri and Noin 7 Veljestä, has said of Salminen that he complimented Spede on ...
