In the beginning of the movie, Jan makes Charlie and Gordon 'Hasenpfeffer & eggs'. A traditional norwegian dish wouldn't be called such a thing. however, a traditional german dish would. Also, their accent is german, but the only thing that's doesn't quite fit in to my Germany-theory is that in the last movie, it is mentioned that the brothers are from Norway. Speaking as a Scandinavian, I really don't see how they could be Norwegian.

"Norway is in Scandinavia(Denmark, Norway, Sweden...)"
and?
Hans and Jan are german names and Hasenpfeffer is a german word. (Hase=Bunny; Pfeffer=Pepper)
They are supposed to be Norwegians.... He could make Hasenpfeffer anyway....
shareMaybe there mother was German and father Norwegian...or vice versa!!
"All this time our power outage has been due not to a sinister force,but to a household appliance?"
Hans said himself that he's Scandinavian in the first film
So I took the road less traveled, now i've got an offroading fine!!!

1: I have no idea why I'm contributing to such a pointless discussion, but I feel I must
2: If they say they're Norwegians, they're Norwegians. Maybe they lived in the "Little Germany" section of Oslo, I dunno
3. What is more troubling to me is that two brothers are named Hans and Jan. Both names are Germanic forms of the name John. Ioannes -> Johannes -> Johan -> John -> Jan, Ioannes -> Johannes -> Hannes -> Hans (->Haensel). Was their father some narcissist like Deon Sanders and George Foreman named Jens? Is there a Juan in the family as well? Maybe a Johanna and Jean and Ivan and and Evan and Giovanni as well?
4: Hans is played by an Englishman and Jan by a Czech. Thus their German accents are more bad acting/nobody outside of Norway can tell the difference between a German and Norwegian accent than anything else.
5. Seriously, this mouvie touts the triple deke as the greatest hockey trick known to man and we're arguing about the brother's nationality?
