It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
This was a great movie / comedy. I never followed wrestling, or knew of the barbarian brothers, but loved this movie. It was so funny when one of them quotes Darth Vader. Roddy Mcdowell plays such a delicious villain. Greedy and Evil. I can't believe he is gone (dies 6 years after this movie, from lung cancer). This is an entertaining, and a very feel-good movie. And, a family movie, with no vulgarity, or inappropriateness. I wonder what happened to the barbarian brothers? Also, takes place in LA.... nice to try to spot the places. Ten lines of text... they gotta be kidding. There is a verse in the Bible with 2 words.... Jesus wept.
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.
Some say may say I have poor taste, but to me I just like to accept movies for what they are. Within the very first 10 minutes you can immediately tell this is a B movie affair. The production values are sub par and the acting is uh...basic. However with most B or perhaps C level movies you can find a whole lot of character if you sit on their level. And there is a whole lot of character here. On the whole this movie is charming and plenty entertaining on both a comedic and action level. Probably more so comedy wise than anything else. This movie undoubtedly suffers from the unintentional funnies. Total sober you can hear me giggling away every 3 minutes on the most irrelevant things from the way these muscle bound beasts run to how slightly more fat one is than the other. Not to say there aren't any legitimate laughs in this movie. The writing is decent, nothing too fancy. Plenty will say the Paul/Barbarian Brothers lack of talent. However, I believe there's enough there. They don't look stupid delivering the core content and they deliver the laughs by the truckload even on small liens. You kinda get that brotherly chemistry that I guess could only be gotten from some twins. Plus thanks to their frame they can handle some decent action scenes that appear to cater to what they do best (lift stuff). However, I will admit all hand to hand action was absolutely dreadful. But what do you expect for a B-flick?
Limo driver Bob is late picking up Mr. Rosehill, who has a metal briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. Someone wants what is in that briefcase, and more than one person dies for it.A cat burglar is robbing diamond distributors in Los Angeles. One of the detectives called to investigate doesn't look much like a cop. He looks more like he should be robbing the place. In fact ...The other detective looks like a hooker and may actually be a guy in drag.David was the smart one, always praised while his identical twin brother Paul was asked why he couldn't be more like his brother. Paul ended up being a criminal. David does not realize Paul is out of prison. Both of them get to work together on the investigation of the jewel robberies. Paul likes this idea a lot better than David.Paul is the more likable twin. If either of these guys could act, this might have been a pretty good movie. Roddy McDowall is deliciously evil as the main villain--and unlike with Donald Trump, when he fires people, it's really a bad thing. But he's not on enough. One possible incentive--both these guys have mullets and weightlifters' bodies and they do both get to take their shirts off, but not much. But that would be for women or gay guys, and this action movie appears to target macho men and teens. Mostly teens, probably. It's not intelligent enough for adults.That's not to say this wasn't entertaining. The mismatched twins are enjoyable to watch, and if I had liked David that part would have been more fun.
