* MixAndMatchMan: Julius and Vincent are DesignerBabies with combined DNA from six athlete and scholarly fathers. Vincent lost out in the process though.

* LongLostRelative: Julius and Vincent were SeparatedAtBirth. Vincent was placed in an orphanage in Los Angeles, Julius was taken to a South Pacific island and raised by Professor Werner. Each twin is unaware of the other's existence until Vincent learns of his twin brother in his 35th birthday.

* [[DatingWhatDaddyHates Dating What Sister Hates]]: Marnie doesn't like her sister Linda going out with Vincent. Though she eventually back off upon meeting Vinncent's twin Julius.

* BadassPacifist: Julius has been trained in karate since he was a boy. He just doesn't learn to ''enjoy'' violence until he meets Vincent.

* LeaveNoWitnesses: Webster has this as a very important part of his personal code, and is all the more psychotic for it -- not even the people he works for are safe.

* ActorAllusion: Julius tells Dr. Traven that if he's lying, "[[Film/TheTerminator I'll be back]]".

* BabiesEverAfter: At the end, lo and behold, [[spoiler: the twins have [[LoserGetsTheGirl married the twins]] and have each had... twins]].

* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: When Julius visits Vincent in jail, his reaction eyeing on a tall burly man walking by before Vincent sit across him and thought he got the wrong person.

* NiceGuy: Julius.

* OhCrap: Vincent's celebration of getting his money is cut short when he hears gunshots and Beetroot's car crashed.
* OverlyLongGag: The chain.
* PetTheDog: Or cat in this case. Vincent, despite being a moneygrubbing lech until he meets Julius, is very kind and loving towards his pet cat, ironically named Julius.

* StupidEvil: Webster's rule of [[LeaveNoWitnesses killing anybody who ever sees his face]], even if that someone is his employer, is ridiculous to the extreme. It definitely comes to bite him in the end because the fact he explains he's going to do it to Vincent and Julius, even after they give him the money and gives them a few seconds to look around the room and notice a way to strike back, is a prime example of BondVillainStupidity.

* UngratefulBastard: After Julius pay his bail, Vincent ditched him, thinking he's crazy. Though he does become grateful when Julius saved him from one of the Klane brothers.

* WideEyedIdealist: Julius.
* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Near the beginning, a motorcycle-riding thief tries to steal Julius's suitcase. Julius is so strong that he is able to hold onto the suitcase without even noticing that the man was trying to steal it, which yanks the thief right off his motorcycle. Julius actually thinks the man got caught on his suitcase and unironically tries to give him medical assistance while apologizing profusely.

* DrJerk: Dr. Mitchell Traven ''at best'', bordering on MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate. It's not possible to justify breaking up a family the way he did, no matter ''what'' his reasons for it.

-->''Born to be bad.''
