Two of a Kind is a 1983 movie starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
The film has Travolta as an inventor and Newton-John as a bank teller. It is up to both criminally-minded individuals to save the Earth from God's destruction.
This film was the pop singer Newton-John's third attempt at a big budget movie, but which turned out to be an even bigger bomb than her previous Xanadu. This film also marked the start of a huge downturn in Travolta's movie career, which wouldn't rebound until 1994 with his starring role in Pulp Fiction. This film was the antithesis of Travolta's and Newton-John's previous film together, Grease, one of the biggest box office successes in movie history. The film was salvaged by a platinum soundtrack which yielded three singles for Newton-John:
- "Twist Of Fate" - No. 5 Pop (her last of 15 Top 10 Pop hits)
- "Take A Chance" - No. 3 AC (B-side to "Twist Of Fate")
- "Livin' In Desperate Times" - No. 31 Pop
- Nominated: Worst Picture

- Nominated: Worst Director (John Herzfeld)
- Nominated: Worst Screenplay (John Herzfeld)
