Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers

Los Guys, a rockabilly band, has developed a racket playing loud music on the streets of France and accepting payment for them to stop playing. While at a nearby restaurant counting the proceeds from their latest "gig," two lead band members meet a gypsy storyteller. She tells them the story of The Corsican Brothers. The story begins with the birth of two superfecund twin brothers, Louis and Lucien (played by adult Cheech and Chong as babies, children and adults), each by a different aristocratic French father. When they are first seen by their mother, she runs away screaming. The two fathers then end up dead in a botched duel over their partner's infidelity, leaving the twins to be raised as orphans. As toddlers in high chairs, their trait of only feeling pain from each other's injuries becomes apparent when they begin hitting each other during a food dispute: ”a bond of sympathy so extraordinary that each could feel the joy or pain of the other in his place.” This trait becomes the film's predominant running gag and an ongoing source of plot twists. Later, the brothers accidentally burn down their house and they decide to split up.

Leonard Maltin said the film was "Staggeringly unfunny even by C&C standards; the previews for Start the Revolution Without Me have more laughs."
