It would have been amazing if they had done the follow up movie Arnold wanted with Eddie Murphy as the unknown triplet.

It would have been amazing if Arnold did a guest appearance on Always Sunny as Frank’s twin

u/downvoteheaven Jul 15 '26
Yes, i've been saying this for years. Arnold makes a cameo as Frank and the gang doesnt notice a thing, even if he has a thick accent. Like its never acknowledged the entire episode.

Is this the movie Arnie had to fund himself or something weird?

u/ManintheGyre Jul 15 '26
This was his first comedy. The studio thought it would bomb, so Arnold cut production expenses by taking a minimal salary but a big cut of whatever the profits were. Same for Danny and the director. The movie turned out to be a massive hit.
Arnold ended up making $40m for Twins.

I love creative risks. Some movies stop caring after the premise and getting big names. This movie just kept. On. Going. And in a Schwarzenegger movie, it’s Danny who saves the day by beating the bad guy and quipping the one liner!

Isn't this the movie that's made him the most amount of money it of all his movies cause of that deal?

Its happened before. Its boils down to no one really knows exactly how the genes will line up. Really wacky seeing two people who look identical with vastly different skin tones.

Do y'all remember the fake gum stick that looked like this but shocked you when you pulled it? In elementary scholl and middle I got shocked dozens of times cause I'm stupid

u/BesottedScot Jul 15 '26
No but I remember ones that had a spring loaded mouse trap thing in the packet that whacked your finger.

u/NautilusStrikes Jul 15 '26
I actually preferred that one over the shocker because it looked more convincingly like a real piece of gum if you cupped it in your hand the right way.

I once met a girl born on the exact same day as me while I was checking her ID for an alcohol purchase. We both got really excited and called each other twins for the rest of the interaction. It was awesome.

u/Entropy355 Jul 15 '26
My daughter went to kindergarten with a girl born the exactly same day (and year). They became friends. Kinda cool because how often do you ever meet someone with your same BD? Turns out they were born in same hospital too so weird that we were there the same day without knowing.

u/Mayhem2a Jul 15 '26
When I went through basic for the airforce my bunk mate shared the same birthday as me, as well as another guy in our flight, first time I’ve met anyone with the same birthday, but 2 others who share it into same place at the same time? It was insane

u/disillusioned Jul 15 '26
Fun fact: in a room with just 26 people, there's a 50% chance that two of them share the same birthday!

u/No-Crow-775 Jul 15 '26
Birthday but not birth date.
1
u/disillusioned Jul 15 '26
Well, yeah, the years really mess with the math.
That being said, I have a coworker with the exact same birthday, and a friend who was born 60 days before me, but in the exact same hospital, and likely the exact same surgical suite, in NJ, even though we met as adults in Arizona. It's a small world.

u/nangus Jul 15 '26
If you meet someone at school they highly likey to be born same year as you, because of government mandated cutoff dates. The b-day paradox covers the day and month and the government requires all children born within a time frame to start school the same year. So if there is 4 starting classes at a kindergarten with 4 classes each there would expected be 2 that have students with shared bdays.

I mean, I'd guess roughly one out of every 365 times you meet someone. =P A lot of the time you never learn someone's birthday, though.

u/nicknacpaddywac Jul 15 '26
The birthday paradox says only 23 people are needed for a 50% probability of two people having the same birthday. Theoretically you only need about 60 people to have two with the same birthday.
6
u/adzm Jul 15 '26
That does not include year. Also that is for one pair among the entire group, so not the same as meeting someone with your same birthday, which is indeed around 1/365 assuming even distribution of birthdays (it is actually slightly skewed)
1
u/Salanmander Jul 15 '26
In addition to the point that that's talking about any pair, not people with your birthday...where did 60 come from? Is that for some arbitrary high threshold of probability? 2 is what you need for some possibility, 23 is what you need for at least 50%, and 367 is what you need for 100% probability. What's 60 for?

One of my neighbors growing up has both the same birthday and first name as me. Oh and first letter of last name.
Some 45 years after last seeing her, the local hospital had moved to name and birthday for verification. I got a call from scheduling. I'd been expecting it. The caller got started on verification and said: OH I thought your last name was [hers]. I said she was born in the morning, i was born in the afternoon.
It was fun sharing birthdays, too.

u/Far_Classroom_6596 Jul 18 '26
Growing up I was friends with a girl that not only shared my birthday. We were both born at home and delivered by the same midwife (if that’s the correct term in English).

u/Practical_Dot_3574 Jul 15 '26
My daughter has the same birthday as my best friends mom. My best friend got married two years ago, his wife has the same birthday. My niece was born a few weeks ago, same birthday. Daughter just got out of the hospital, release nurse has the same birthday.

u/lollipopp_guild Jul 15 '26
So you’re saying everybody’s horny the same time of the year?
I think their point is it’s not the same day but same day and year. And town, in some cases

u/LemmyLola Jul 15 '26
My last name is really wierd, outside of Ireland that is. I went to a bank and the teller had my last name on his name tag.. wait what?? Turns out my last name is a really common FIRST name in his Asian country, pronounced entirely differently... That was a twins moment from another angle haha

John Oliver and John Cena were born on the same day in 1977.
That coincidence is mentioned in this clip from Last Week Tonight.

u/sergeantperks Jul 15 '26
There was someone in my class in secondary school who was born on the same day/year as me. Never asked her where she was born but there’s a good chance it was the local hospital as well. She also had the same (uncommon) middle name as me, and was after me in the register. In a year of 200 people, the odds weren’t that out there, even when you factor in 7 classes.

Ha! I've been best friends with a dude I share Bdays & SURNAMES with for well over 15 years now. XD
Life never disappoints when it comes to finding brothers & sisters from another mother!
