| Type | Criminal organization |
| Location |  Sweden |
The Jönsson gang consists of the leader and criminal genius Charles Ingvar "Sickan" Jönsson, hence the name, and his two companions "Dynamit-Harry" (an alcoholic demolitions expert) and Ragnar Vanheden (a small-timer from Stockholm). Eight films have been made in total, though in the last three films actor Gösta Ekman got tired of his character "Sickan", and was replaced by the following characters, in order; "Doctor Max Adrian Busé", "Herman Melvin" and "Sven-Ingvar 'Sivan' Jönsson". The first two films featured the character Rocky, a Swedish-speaking Finn as member of the gang. He was eventually replaced by "Dynamit-Harry" who first appeared in the second film. Jönssonligans arch-enemy is Jacob Morgan Rockefeller Wall-Enberg Jr. - somewhat of a cross between a business magnate and a ruthless mob boss - who in all the films have been played by Per Grundén. His name alludes to the real-life Swedish business magnates Anders Wall and the Wallenberg family. Wall-Enbergs henchman is Biffen. In every film except for Jönssonligan dyker upp igen and Jönssonligan på Mallorca he has been played by Weiron Holmberg. In Jönssonligan dyker upp igen he is played by Lars Dejert and in Jönssonligan på Mallorca he never appears.
The main series has also created a spin-off series called Lilla Jönssonligan (Little Jönsson gang), which portrays the main three characters of the series as kids. The only recurring actor in all the Lilla Jönssonligan is Loa Falkman who plays Wall-Enberg Jr's father Oscar Wall-Enberg Sr.
A reboot named Jönssonligan – Den perfekta stöten with new actors in the roles was released on 16 January 2015. The film was the first since Jönssonligan & Dynamit-Harry to feature the line-up Sickan, Vanheden, Rocky and Dynamit-Harry and the first not to feature Wall-Enberg, instead featuring an antagonist named 'Wallentin'. The film was not commercially successful.[2] A second reboot premiered in 2020.[3][needs update]
