Not the trope. This is when it\'s a minor thing the mere mention of which drives the character to irrational anger. That is the exact opposite of what\'s going on in that scene.

Yes, ''that'' [[TheNapoleon Danny [=DeVito=]]] and [[TheAhnold Arnold]] [[{{Terminator}} Schwarzenegger]].
Julius and Vincent Benedict are fraternal twins; the results of a secret experiment carried out at a genetics laboratory to produce the perfect child, using sperm donated by six different fathers.

The two meet when they're both 35 and Julius bails Vincent out of jail. Vincent doesn't warm up to Julius right away, but he soon does.
Vincent steals a car that happens to have a secret prototype fuel injector worth five million dollars in the trunk. He is going to drive to Houston to sell it for money he owes to loan sharks, but Julius finds out that their mother is really alive and they might be able to find her, and the drive to Houston soon turns into a road trip with Vincent, Julius, Vincent's girlfriend Linda and Linda's sister Marnie. They are pursued by Webster, the criminal responsible for transporting the fuel injector. HilarityEnsues.
