10 interesting facts about the film "Nannies" (9 photos)

One of the most iconic comedies in the life of children of the 90s is the film "The Nannies" (1994) starring musclemen Peter and David Paul. It's hard to believe, but next year the film will turn 30 years old.





And today I want to tell you a few facts about the filming of this film in order to take us all back a little to childhood.



1. The script was originally written for the brothers Peter and David Paul, which is why the characters in the script have the same names. Except that their last name in the film is different - Falcone.

2. Part of the money for filming the film was provided by the Nintendo company, so it is not surprising that the boys play the SNES (Super Nintendo) console.





By the way, there is a small mistake in this place. The guys are playing the game "Super Mario world", which is designed for only one player. However, they are both actively clicking the buttons on their joysticks.

3. The original title of the film is "Twin sitters", which translates as "Twin Nannies". But in our localization it was decided to shorten the name.

4. In addition to the fact that Peter and David Paul played the main roles in the film, they are also producers and also performed several compositions for the film.



5. A year before the film "Nannies" the film "Mr. Nanny" was released with Hulk Hogan in the title role. The plot of these films is almost the same: a rich businessman (widower) hires a former wrestler to look after his children. And they, in turn, begin to make fun of the new muscular nanny, but then get closer. Also, there is crime and kidnapping.



6. After the film was shot, its running time was approximately 2 hours. For the 90s, this timing was quite long, since standard films lasted 1.5 hours. As a result, many moments had to be cut from the film to reduce it to 93 minutes.



7. Despite the fact that this comedy is a cult film, it was not such a huge success in the rest of the world. And in its native America, the film was not even released in theaters. It was released immediately on video media.

8. In 2014, Christian Cousins ​​(one of the twin boys) came out, admitting that he loved boys.



9. In our country you could often see the film “Nannies 2” with David and Peter Paul in the lead roles. But in fact, it was just a publicity stunt to whet the interest of the audience. There is no movie "The Nanny 2", but under this title you could see the movie "Double Trouble" with other characters played by the same brothers. The funny thing is that the movie "Double Trouble" was released in 1992, while "The Nannies" came out only 2 years later.



10. On March 6, 2020, actor David Paul passed away. At the time of his death he was 62 years old.
