The film is about twins whose birth was involved with a science experiment . They are separated at birth due to a simple lie. But when Julius , the well structured twin is told that he actually has a brother , he leaves his tropical island ,and heads out to find his brother , Vincent. On the other hand ,Vincent , the short and defensless one is exactly opposite of Julius , he is a criminal , and car crook who is now involved with the Klane brothers , the three deadly mobsters. Well , they reunite , and later become good friends . With two beautiful girls and a secret that could get vincent rich , they set out to find their birth mother.
Hilarious submitted by andreahubert on June 30, 2012, 11:37pm This movie relies on twins being separated at birth, but it turns into so much more than that. It's a fun combination of actors with fairly amazing chemistry actually.
Funny movie submitted by ejmarcash on August 22, 2012, 5:42pm I especially liked that some scenes were filmed on the UCB campus while I was a student there. Funny movie and good chemistry between DeVito and the former CA governator.
A Sequel! submitted by crazypockets on July 25, 2013, 12:54pm This is as good as it gets with 80s filmmaking. Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger as twins? Comedy gold. And apparently they're going to make a sequel possibly this year. That's going to be so weird....I can't wait.
Light-hearted film, and recently referenced on SNL submitted by Josephin2.718 on August 10, 2018, 10:45pm Was watching the 2017 SNL wrestling promo with Koko Watchout and Trashyard Mutt, and they've made a reference to this movie. It's not Oscar-worthy material, but it's almost a cult classic.
