Excellent adaptation.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

1992 was a time when you would get lots of straight to video action movies, with a special guest star as the villain and a cameo from a well known actor.We had The Taking of Beverly Hills with Robert Davi, Martial Law with David Carradine, and By The Sword with F Murray Abraham.Every hero had a mullet, and throw away one liners.Sometimes some of these films are awful, the aforementioned movies are nothing special, but they entertained, this is awful, and it's embarrassing to watch this, and even review it, admitting the fact I've seen it.So the plastic faced, steroid addicted Brothers are cop and robber, who join forces to get Roddy McDowell, and another man who looks suspiciously like he was in Dallas.The mullets are beyond macho, and the clothes are just, well, just see the movie.The acting is bad, Scotty from Star Trek looks like he's being held at gun point, and the incidental music and delivery of one liners is worse than school kids re-enacting it in the playground.There is a plus point, the guy who l,as the false chauffeur at the beginning is OK, and that's it.Roddy McDowell must have owed someone a huge favour to be in this, as he tries his best, but ends up acting like John Inman from are you being served.And finally, it's the only film I've seen where the main bad guy gets killed, and by the time he hits the floor, he looks about twenty years younger.Awful.

This movie is an anachronism. Based on the clothes, music, hairdos, and so forth, it seems like this should be an eighties film.Horkheimer, Adorno, and others of the Frankfurt School of thinkers argued in the 1940s that mass media was used to control the people and ultimately resulted in sameness. Double Trouble certainly proves the latter. The plot and the villains are all plucked willy nilly from various 1980s films. One of the barbarian brothers accidentally steals a card that gives access to a vault of diamonds just above the subway in downtown LA. The other barbarian brother is a cop forced by the chief to partner with his larcenous brother. Oh, the other barbarian brother...How could anyone wear what this guy wears? The Raiders sweatshirt/half shirt with high-waisted, acid-washed jeans? But all of that pales compared with the mullets sported by each brother. Paging Billy-Ray Cyrus. The guy can't run either. He has a worse gait than Keanu Reeves.Whoever thought that wrestlers could act anyway? This film is about as fragmented and nonsensical as this review of it. In the right company this could be part of a beer-fueled evening with friends, or consumed alone. Regardless, mouths will be agape. The horror, the horror.

One of the things that makes the Barbarian Brothers so great is their ability to do both action and comedy and pull both off superbly. This film is no exception to them being able to showcase their unique talents. This film also continues the tradition of them working with great co-stars. Tiny Lister, Richard Moll, Martin Mull (all in Think Big) and now Roddy Mcdowel and David Caradine! In the face of the Barbarian Brothers, most actors just seem to sink into the background, but you have to hand it to these legends to be able to hold their own on the screen and not be drowned out by the amazing screen presence that the Barbarians have. To touch quickly on the movie- Peter and David are two brothers who are on opposite sides of the law but who come together to take down a crooked businessman who's trying to rob the international diamond exchange. As usual Peter and David have GREAT chemistry and it is so fun seeing them play off of their characters differences. This movie really has it all: action, suspense, comedy, tragedy. What else could you want?Luckily for you fellow Barbarian fans, Encore has been showing this movie lately on both Encore and Encore Action! I've seen it three times so far, hopefully you can catch it and tape it like I did because we all know how hard it can be to track down original copies of Barbarian films. If you like movies, you will love Double Trouble. Don't miss it!

How would you like to be known as the Paul twin who couldn't act as well as his brother? Ouch. This movie is like a really bad Saturday morning cartoon- the main character always wears the same clothes, the dialogue is filled with corny jokes only kids will laugh at, and the plot is simple and predictable. (If you can't figure out how things will turn out with the wussy partner, you haven't seen many movies.) If you like Mystery Science Theater, you might enjoy this movie for campy action value. Otherwise, avoid it so you don't have to cringe at this clever exchange between the twins: "No way." "Yes way." "No way." "Yes way." "No way..."
