Double Trouble (1992)


Listen Later

This one is from Chris' sweet spot of the early 1990's action movie but very few people have heard of! "Double Trouble" (1992) is an action-comedy film starring the Barbarian Brothers, Peter and David Paul, as twin brothers with vastly different personalities. Peter Jade is a tough, no-nonsense cop, while David Jade is a carefree, muscle-bound nightclub bouncer. Despite their differences, the brothers are forced to team up when they become entangled in a criminal conspiracy involving counterfeit money and the murder of a federal agent. As they navigate through a series of dangerous and comedic situations, the twins must learn to work together, combining their unique skills to take down the criminal organization.

The production of "Double Trouble" leaned heavily into the physicality and charisma of the Paul brothers, capitalizing on their larger-than-life personas. The film was designed to showcase their strength and humor, with plenty of action sequences and comedic moments that played to their strengths. Directed by John Paragon, known for his work on "Pee-wee's Playhouse," the film was shot on a modest budget, emphasizing fast-paced, straightforward action and light-hearted comedy. While "Double Trouble" didn't achieve major box office success, it has since become a cult favorite, particularly among fans of 90s action comedies and the Barbarian Brothers' unique brand of entertainment.
