Uuno Epsanjassa

Uuno Epsanjassa (an intentional misspelling of "Uuno in Spain") 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.

Production
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). In 2015, Vesa-Matti Loiri recalled the same situation and said this:

- 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. I see three big players walking by, and one of them stops to look and ask: you're making a movie? I say with a frown is it look like it. Then it goes away of course and I realize it's Sean Connery. Damn it. There was nothing diva in it, he kindly asked about it. I behaved stupidly and lost perhaps an interesting conversation.

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.

Plot
Uuno Turhapuro (played by Vesa-Matti Loiri) is searching for a job and takes a correspondence course in tour guiding. Eventually he gets a job in a small travel agency and takes a group of Finnish tourists to Marbella, Spain. Unfortunately Uuno's father-in-law Tuura (Tapio Hämäläinen) is in the group, too, with his wife (Marita Nordberg) and daughter, Uuno's wife Elisabet (Marjatta Raita). Tuura tries to get a signature to an important paper from a minister who's having a holiday in the area. Meanwhile, Uuno just relaxes and enjoys the sun.

Miscellaneous
"Epsanjassa" is humorous misspelling of the word "Espanjassa" (in Spain) that imitates uneducated spelling error.
