    Do you believe in the Barbarian Brothers?

    While looking for something to watch on Netflix I came across Double Trouble starring David and Peter Paul - the Barbarian Brothers. Remember these guys?

    That website tells all. I totally forgot about them and it seems like they are currently working on a new movie. One of them even has his own music that is riDICulous:

    I remember two things:

    1.) A hanging involving the brothers pretending to die. Then they exercise their might and break the nooses with their neck muscles while laughing.

    2.) A hot 80's girl with a cutoff belly shirt that allowed her 80's tits to challenge my 12 yr-old mind's idea of what was important in my life.

    I went to great lengths to reword the phrase "I remember the barbarian brothers being hung" to avoid this sort of response!!!

    I like to see images.

    Which one is the good cop? They both look awful.

    I remember in whatever movie I saw with them, that they almost got hit by a train and were chanting "chicken bone" to be luckier. I guess it worked, I don't remember.

    One is a cop and one is a jewel thief - the one with the raiders sweatshirt cutoff is the cop - and oddly enough, in the 45 minutes of the movie that I watched, that seems to be his uniform.

    Do a search on youtube for their interview on the Will Shriner (another guy I totally forgot about!) show - I would link it here but youtube is blocked at work.

    Re: Do you believe in the Barbarian Brothers?

    Barbarian Brothers are the best. This belongs in the comedy thread, because these two are unheralded comic geniuses (them and whoever wrote their movies). I say this with no sarcasm or irony, I really do have fond memories of their work.

    I believe we broached the topic in the Bad Movies thread, or at least I know I did in some discussion somewhere.

    We need a Criterion Collection box set, commentaries and all, stat!

    Anyone seen this classic?




    Also, no discussion of the bros would be complete without mention of their deleted cameo in "Natural Born Killers," where the Knoxes chainsaw off their legs, but decide not to kill them because of their great admiration for the brothers. The brothers reciprocate said admiration in an interview with Wayne Gale.

    Don't forget that Double Trouble was directed by the wonderful John Paragon.
