OK, imagine four men in their 40s and 50s. You there? OK, now imagine them wearing suits and playing on a sandbox as characters aged 4, 5 and 6. Pasanen even has his trademark beard, for Christ's sake!

Uuno is forced to complete his mandatory military service when it is revealed that he only spent one day in the army in his youth. As is typical of the Turhapuro series his family and friends become closely tied in with these events. His friends Härski Hartikainen and Sörsselssön return to the army for a refresher course and by chance Uuno's father-in-law, Councillor Tuura is made the Finnish Defence Minister. In one of the most memorable scenes, Uuno's wife, Elisabeth, dresses as Uuno and substitutes him for a day as Uuno has an apparently urgent meeting (at a restaurant) and while becoming lost in the woods with a malfunctioning radio, Tuura accidentally declares war on Sweden.

A film that pushes every stereotype imaginable about Finland, and then some. Indeed, coming in the same year as Finland’s 50th anniversary, the film’s whole premise is about presenting Finland in hilarious fashion to foreigners and perhaps also making fun of some of the myths of Finnish culture for Finns themselves.

The invisible UFO men Giljotin and Orvaskesi land on Earth and take on the appearance of the first people they encounter, Mr. Tossavais and psychiatrist Pehmeäleff. The eccentric professor takes the alien devices he has found to his laboratory, where one of the components ends up with Joona Maaperä, a manager suffering from stress, causing him to behave strangely.

Mathematician Mauno Mutikainen is accidentally pronounced dead as a result of an operation where a splinter is being removed from his finger. He is then cloned into a test-tube adult named Richard Ilyevitch Jyrä by his creator Dr. Jyrä.

Justiina Puupää drives her husband Pekka and his friend Pätkä to look for work. The two decide to make money the easy way and try to have an accident after first getting accident insurance.

Uuno Turhapuro is a lazy man who abhors manual labor, but has the ability to talk himself out of any sticky situation, usually with his long-suffering wife.

This prequel to the other Uuno Turhapuro movies tells the story of Uuno's birth and childhood.

Uuno is working as campaign manager of a president candidate but accidentally Uuno himself becomes the president of Finland.

Two brothers from Häme discover that they are actually from Karelia. During the celebration of the newfound fact, one of the brothers is bitten by a bug. After seeking medical help from a doctor - who tries to tell the brothers that he is not a doctor of medicine - the doctor decides to trick the boys by convincing them that the insect in question is called Insectum propellatum, also known as the aviation bug, and unless the affected brother learns how to fly, the bite might turn fatal. During their shenanigans, they become acquainted with a robot that runs on booze, two scoundrels, and the beautiful Miss Universe!

The film is based on characters from the Mänttien TV-asema sketches featured on the Spede Show.

Uuno Turhapuro hits his head and loses his memory. Meanwhile, his friend Härski Hartikainen founds a new peace movement with unorthodox methods.

Level-headed Kalle soon spots the bad guys who are after the Baron's money, and the Baron brings innovative ideas to the countryside.
