Twins (1988)




Clearly you are not seeing double, but Ahnuld Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito are twins in Ivan Reitman's hilarious comedy.  Both brothers are great in their respective roles of a naive gentle giant and an unscrupulous low life who are on a quest to find their mother.  As they endure funny and sometimes dangerous situations, the unlikely pairing find that blood is thicker than water.

Twins was filmed in Santa Monica, Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, Carson, Van Nuys, Santa Monica and Los Angeles, CA and Sante Fe, NM
