Uuno Turhapuro armeijan leivissä

Uuno Turhapuro armeijan leivissä (Uuno Turhapuro in the Army) is a 1984 Finnish comedy and the ninth film in the Uuno Turhapuro film series starring Vesa-Matti Loiri as the title character, Spede Pasanen as the potty-mouthed mechanic Härski Hartikainen, and Simo Salminen as their constant companion Sörsselssön.

[1] however the official statistics by the Finnish Film Foundation began in 1972, so all figures before that are estimates (although believed to be true).

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.
