Twins Mission (traditional Chinese: 雙子神偸; simplified Chinese: 双子神偷) is a 2007 Hong Kong action comedy film directed by action choreographer Kong Tao-hoi. The film was written by Keung Fong-sai and Tsui Siu-ming, who also produced with Amy Li. The film stars Sammo Hung, Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung, Wu Jing, Yuen Wah, and Jess Zhang. The film is a bit of a spoof of the popularity and success of the Twins and leaves from the audience with a cliffhanger ending.

Plot

An evil gang of twins hold up a train to steal a magical Tibetan artifact, the Heaven's Bead from 3 Lamas. This artifact has healing powers and is a highly desirable item. A battle ensues and the artifact is knocked from the hands of a parachuting villain into the bag of an unsuspecting passerby.

The passer-by, oblivious, gets into his van and heads to Hong Kong. This is where the other set of twins come in; they are aided by the twin Laus and Uncle Luck as they try to get the Heaven's Bead back.

A secret mission takes place, in which the good twins infiltrate a high rise building in order to recover the item. Although they initially succeed, the artifact is then passed to the wrong twin. Happy, Lilian's sister, who is suffering from cancer is also kidnapped and held prisoner in the high-rise building.

The good twins eventually recover the Heaven's Bead and lose it again while rescuing Happy. The villains get away with the Heaven's Bead.
