When at its best, it's easy to understand its cult status.

The film flopped at the box office, but years later scored as a cult hit on video when Wilder's popularity grew.

Seems like a Mel Brooks farce, but it's a Yorkin! Pretty zany.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Produced and directed by comedy veteran Bud Yorkin, Start the Revolution Without Me broke ground for a comedy revolution. It takes the tumultuous "let them eat cake" days of the French Revolution and gives everyone a figurative pie in the face. Two sets of twins are mismatched at birth so that years later, each set will have one Gene Wilder and one Donald Sutherland. One set grows up to be aristocratic swashbucklers; the other set are peasants. In a hilarious fluke of fate, they crisscross across classes.
Product Description:
Two sets of mismatched twins--one pair ruling class and the other peasant--unexpectedly cross paths during the height of the French Revolution. A charming farce in the tradition of the great costume films of the 30's and 40's.
