Thanks, that's the one!
Not sure if this trope is listed already or not, if it is I can't find it.
Basically the scene where there's two versions of the same person (one is an evil clone, or an android, etc...), one of the heroes has a gun and needs to shoot one of the two, but can't figure out which is which.
It usually leads to the two characters having to prove themselves to the one holding the gun, saying something like 'You know it's me, we did that thing together years ago, remember?' Or in comedic scenarios, the duplicate says something overly sappy and sentimental which the hero thinks 'they'd never say that' and shoots them dead for it.
