The film opened at the top spot at the box office, but was far outpaced by Schwarzenegger’s other comedy film in 1988, Twins. Schwarzenegger later wrote the film “wasn’t the smash I’d expected. Why is hard to guess. It could be that audiences were not ready for Russia, or that my and Jim Belushi’s performances were not funny enough. – wikipedia
