Uuno Epsanjassa is a Finnish 1985 comedy film directed by Ere Kokkonen. It is the tenth film in the Uuno Turhapuro series. It was seen by more than 600,000 people in the theatres, making it the third highest-grossing film in the series; the film was an even bigger success than Rauni Mollberg's The Unknown Soldier, which came out the same year.

Production

The idea for the film came during the winter of 1984-1985 during the shooting of the earlier film Hei kliffaa hei when sound recorder Pekka Lampela complained to director Ere Kokkonen that it was always freezing cold when shooting a film. Kokkonen promised Lampela that he would not freeze during the shooting of the next film, and got the idea to shoot a new Uuno Turhapuro film in Spain.

Actor Sean Connery was playing on the same golf course while shooting the golf scene in the film. The working group thought of inviting him into the film for a small cameo role, but in the end none of the members of the working group wanted to invite the "great legend" into the film (although Ere Kokkonen later mentions in his memoirs that despite the request, Connery would have politely refused the cameo role).

- Think of the situation where the golfball is placed in a low tree, between the branches. The guys are setting up the cameras and Pappa Jyrälä is looking for a recording location, and it's so damn hot and tiring and its a little annoying. I'm standing in a full Turhapuro mask, and the sun was so hot that even the squares of the net shirt burned into the skin.

In bullfight scene, at first they tried to use a local actor in the role of Uuno but he wasn't funny enough, so Vesa-Matti Loiri decided to try it himself. The film also features Loiri's Nasse-setä character and the invention of the sports car drivers from Pori, the "two-spoke car". The film was shot at the Hotel Del Golf in Marbella.
