Two of a Kind is a 1983 romantic comedy film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. The original music score was composed by Patrick Williams.
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 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:
