Simply Perfect

Good movie but grossly overrated

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Perhaps the epitome of 1990s-era cheese, DOUBLE TROUBLE is another vehicle for the twin brothers whose claim to fame was appearing in the Deodato movie THE BARBARIANS. This one sees Peter and David Paul appearing in a contemporary cop thriller in which the brothers are from the different sides of the tracks but still end up teaming up to battle some bad guys. It's a cheese fest for sure, with laughable action scenes and incredibly wooden performances from the two stars; overall it feels like nothing more than a cheap cash-in of the Van Damme flick DOUBLE IMPACT. Old man Roddy McDowall plays the baddie and David Carradine shows up for no good reason; you'll only enjoy this if you have a huge tolerance for cheese.

Double Trouble has to be one of the greatest movies ever. The fight scene is the best fight scene of all times, and when David works out he makes the best moaning noises ever.The fight scene has to be the best part of the movie, and I don't feel it was cheesy. Whats not to like about the movie? It has two hot twin brothers in it, although it did need more shirtless scenes. David Paul's raider sweater and mullet is the best part of the movie.What could anyone want more...there's fight scenes, gunfire, a hooker, and diamonds. My friend Jenny wishes that Peter would drop a diamond down her shirt and look for it ;)This movie has hooked me on all the barbarian brothers movies.

I just acquired this movie on VHS after seeing bits and pieces of it on late night cable. This has to be one of the greatest movies ever. It combines all of the elements of awesomeness. The camaro, the outrageous mullets (there has to be some kind of irony there, they can't be under the impression that they're anything but a joke with haircuts like that), the cheesy music, the completely unrealistic guns, the hot early-90's chicks, a plot that's more broken than a Chinese motorcycle, the stereotypical "rich white guy" villain, angry black police lieutenant, washed up actors from Star Trek. If I could make two changes to this movie to make it perfect, I would remove the blatantly homoerotic weightlifting (those noises!!), and add some breasts. The acting is painfully cheesy, but that adds to the overall fun of the movie. The scene where the brothers fight is probably one of the greatest fight sequences of all time. I was doubled over with laughter and barely able to breathe due to the hilarity. WARNING: Everyone in this movie is a frustratingly bad shot. They may as well not even use guns, because no one ever hits anything unless it's at point-blank range. '

Double Trouble might be the worst movie ever made. Double Troubles stars two washed up body builders. One is a cop the other is a criminal. Neither of them can act. The plot is a typical stupid "must beat the bad guy" plot. This movie is terrible. Avoid it at all costs.
