Big Trouble is a 1986 American comedy film and the last film directed by John Cassavetes. The cast reunites Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, co-stars of The In-Laws, and also features Beverly D'Angelo, Charles Durning and Valerie Curtin.

The film's plot was so similar to that of Double Indemnity that, prior to production, Columbia Pictures requested Universal Pictures (rightsholder for the Paramount film Double Indemnity) to grant permission to reuse the plot of the earlier film. Universal executive Frank Price, who had previously worked at Columbia, was aware that Columbia was holding on to a script called Back to the Future and made a deal which enabled Universal to take over the ownership of that script.[1]
