Double Trouble (Italian: Non c'è due senza quattro, lit.'Never Two Without Four') is a 1984 Italian action comedy film directed by Enzo Barboni (as E.B. Clucher) and starring the film duo of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer.[1]

In the film, two billionaire cousins have survived several assassination attempts. Out of concern for their own safety, they hire two look-alikes as political decoys. The two replacements decide to investigate who masterminds the assassination attempts.

Plot

Mild-mannered Portuguese Brazilian billionaire cousins Bastiano and Antonio Coimbra de la Coronilla y Azevedo are in fear for their lives after several assassination attempts. Therefore, they have an agency find two look-alikes, stuntman Elliot Vance and the saxophone-playing small-time criminal Greg Wonder, to temporarily take their place and find out who is behind the assassination attempts.

Elliot and Greg, both very tough and battle-ready as compared to the violence-averse Coimbra cousins, use their flamboyance and fighting skills to manage their way through all kinds of situations without too much trouble while getting closer to the mastermind behind it all. Additionally they quickly come to like the jet-set life. The resulting damage to their reputation provokes the Coimbras to return to Rio ahead of time. This puts them right into the sights of their enemies, alongside the cousins' look-alikes.
