Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Modine spent weeks shadowing his own body double to sync mannerisms—then Rudolph largely cut the scenes where twins interact.
Released during the brief '90s obsession with twins and doppelgangers (Dead Ringers, Twin Peaks, Sister Sister), Equinox tanked and helped kill the trend.
