I am certain that your movie is "Think Big," starring twin musclemen
Peter and David Paul (who are sometimes known as "The Barbarian
Brothers.")

"Think Big (1990)     
 
A teen genius (Ari Meyers) escapes from a teen think tank with the
plans for a secret weapon. On the run, she stows aboard a truck driven
by two slow-witted brothers (Peter and David Paul) who are
transporting toxic waste across the country. Martin Mull also appears
as the mentor of the think tank, Claudia Christian is the school's
psychologist, and David Carradine is a repo man."

Internet Movie Database
http://imdb.com/title/tt0100772/plotsummary

"Teen genius Holly Sherwood (Ari Meyers) has built something that
looks like a TV remote control but actually switches on and off any
electrical device. Greedy CEO Hayden Bruekner (Martin Mull) sells the
awesome gadget to criminals, but Holly finds out and flees with the
prototype, stowing away in the big rig belonging to lunkhead truckers
Vic and Rafe (Peter and David Paul). Bruekner's stooges chase the
trio, and ultimately the brothers have to choose between delivering
their cargo and saving Holly... Richard Kiel, 'Jaws' from Roger
Moore's Bond adventures, amusingly portrays a towering thug named
Irving, and David Carradine is almost unrecognizable as a cackling
repo man after the brothers' truck."

If you're interested in owning this movie on VHS, Amazon.com has
several used copies available:

Google search strategy:

Google Web Search: "think big" + "peter" + "david" + "paul"

I recognized the movie from your description. It's hard to forget a
movie that features twin wrestlers and a song called "Lucky, Lucky
Chicken Bone." ;-)

If this isn't the correct movie, please request clarification so that
I may resume the quest. I'll be glad to offer further assistance
before you rate my answer.

Best wishes,
