Yes, ''that'' [[The Napoleon\|Danny DeVito]] and [[The Ahnold\|Arnold]] [[Terminator\|Schwarzenegger]]. Line 12: Vincent steals a car that happens to have a secret prototype fuel injector worth five million dollars in the trunk. He is going to drive to Houston to sell it for money he owes to loan sharks, but Julius finds out that their mother is really alive and they might be able to find her, and the drive to Houston soon turns into a road trip with Vincent, Julius, Vincent's girlfriend Linda and Linda's sister Marnie. They are pursued by Webster, the criminal responsible for transporting the fuel injector. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. A ~~newly announced~~ sequel, called.. ~~What~~(what else,?) ''Triplets'', ishas ~~apparently~~been ~~going~~"just about" to go into production ~~soon~~since around the year 2000, ~~with~~featuring [[Eddie Murphy]] as the third brother.
