4* Castor and Pollux are the twins from the constellation Gemini, the twins. On the opposite side of the star calendar is Sagittarius, the Archer.
5* Castor and Pollux's last name is Troy, referencing the Trojan Horse, which is effectively what the face transplant surgery turns Castor and Archer into.
6* The blood types for the two main characters (i.e. Sean Archer and Castor Troy) are mentioned in the movie, and at a subtle level they reflect their antagonistic nature. Archer's Blood type is O negative, while Troy's is AB positive, these two blood types are as different as you can get. O negative (the universal donor), reflects Archer's role as a policeman dedicated to serving the community, while Troy's AB positive (the universal recipient) suggests someone who takes from society without giving anything back.
7* Why does nobody catch on fully that "Archer" is suddenly a lot more carefree and happy? It is implied that before Castor killed Michael, Sean was actually a very fun, friendly and happy guy, they might assuming it is because all the weight and baggage from trying to catch his son's killer has been lifted.
