-Theatrical Trailer
'The Topp Twins - Untouchable Girls' is the first time that the irrepressible Kiwi entertainment double act, Jools & Lynda Topp's extraordinary personal story has been told. The film offers a revealing look into the lives of the World's only comedic; country singing; dancing; and yodeling twin sisters. As well as rarely seen archive footage and home movies, the film features a series of special interviews with some of the Topp's infamous comedy alter-egos including candid chats with the two Kens; Camp Mother & Camp Leader; the Bowling Ladies; and the Posh Socialite sisters, Prue & Dilly.
'The Topp Twins - Untouchable Girls' is a big story. It's not just the story of two sisters but also of 25 years of New Zealand history. Quarter a century of cultural changes and the foundation of a national identity. Part concept film; part biopic; part historical record; part comedy, the Twins share their journey from "coming out" to Jools' recent brush with Breast Cancer with much laughter, honesty & wisdom. It is a film about two truly unique New Zealanders which ends up saying as much about us as it does about them.
