Twins is a 1988 film starring Danny DeVito and
Arnold Schwarzenegger as twins.
Yes,
that Danny DeVito and
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Julius and Vincent Benedict are fraternal twins; the results of a secret experiment carried out at a genetics laboratory to produce the perfect child, using sperm donated by six different fathers. The mother was told that the children died at birth, while the children were informed once old enough that their mother died in childbirth. The program was a success but was shut down,
due to one twin inheriting the "desirable traits", and the other being the "genetic trash": Julius is strong, handsome, kind and intelligent, while Vincent is, well,
Danny DeVito.
The two meet when they're both 35 and Julius bails Vincent out of jail. Vincent doesn't warm up to Julius right away, but he soon does.
Vincent steals a car that happens to have a secret prototype fuel injector worth five million dollars in the trunk. He is going to drive to Houston to sell it for money he owes to loan sharks, but Julius finds out that their mother is really alive and they might be able to find her, and the drive to Houston soon turns into a road trip with Vincent, Julius, Vincent's girlfriend Linda and Linda's sister Marnie. They are pursued by Webster, the criminal responsible for transporting the fuel injector.
Hilarity Ensues.
A newly announced sequel, called.. What else,
Triplets, is apparently going into production soon with
Eddie Murphy as the third brother. That sound you can hear is the entire world doing a collective
"What?".
